SLIMMERS who have won the battle to lose weight are being invited to use their experience to help others.
Alice Turburville, 44, from Stanway, who is a mum-of-two and former teacher, went through her own weight loss journey in 2015 after struggling to find the best way to drop the pounds.
She lost three stones and went on to become a Slimming World Consultant winning the national prize for Team Developer of the Year in 2019.
She is now inviting former or current members to start their own weight loss groups.
Consultants at Slimming World have all successfully lost weight as members themselves and receive training to give practical and psychological support to other members.
Alice said: “It all starts with the feeling that you’re not alone.
“I know I wouldn’t have succeeded with my weight loss without the weekly help, encouragement and understanding of my own consultant and the members in the group.
“I want people in Colchester to know that if they’re struggling alone with their weight, we’re here for them, we understand and we can help.
“As someone who has lost weight myself, I know the challenges people can face, which is why, along with the group, I’ll be there to support every one of my members all the way to their chosen target weight.”
There is a no obligation event on Friday, August 5 at the Holiday Inn in Eight Ash Green. To book your place get in touch with Alice at 07834195844.
