That?s a lot of spuds lost!

SOME West Devon slimmers have lost twenty-three-and-a-half stones in weight between them at their slimming classes.

The slimmers had enrolled at their local Slimming World classes and the company?s consultants Jane Doyle, Vicky Mills and Marie Elliott said they were proud of their achievements.

Diana Pidgeon, from the Yelverton class, lost 5st 8lbs; Jean Andrew, from one of the Tavistock classes, 3st 7lbs; Tracy Cole, from the Okehampton class, 3st 2lbs, Alison Bellamy, from the other Tavistock class, 3st 3lbs and Kevan Elliott ? who is married to one of the consultants from Princetown ? 4st 10lbs.

The weight losses are over various periods of time, from six months to around one-and-a-half years.

Kevan Elliott said he found the food-optimising method of slimming really easy to follow and had his plate piled high and still enjoyed his nights out.

He added that men were not treated any differently at the classes and everyone helped one another out.
