COMPETITION winner Michelle Ward is doing herself, her family and her pocket a favour.

She won a competition in the Examiner to get a year’s free gym membership along with a personal trainer.

But where she has already really gained – or to be more precise, lost – is on her food bills.

The family is enrolled on the Kirklees Weight Management Service programme and see a dietician every month to make sure they continue to eat healthily.

As a result, their food portion sizes are smaller and they’ve shaved £400 a month off their food bills.

Now that’s got to be the ideal win-win scenario.

And their success may inspire many others to follow suit.
