Slimming a reality for ‘World’ team

THE only way was Slimming World for reality TV star Mark Wright when he met a group of Slimming World consultants from Dewsbury and Mirfield.

Lindsay Dixon, Debra Chesworth, Sarah Marsden, Joanne Jackson and Susan Welburn attended the organisation’s annual awards in Birmingham.

The team, who run weekly Slimming World groups in Dewsbury, Thornhill, Thornhill Lees and Mirfield, were thrilled to get up close with hunky Mark, who shot to fame on The Only Way is Essex before taking to the jungle as a contestant in I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.

The event celebrated the slimming successes of its members.

Slimming World is about healthy eating rather than a traditional diet.

Slimming World consultant Debra Chesworth, who runs classes in Dewsbury, said January was a great time of year to start a weight-loss regime.

“Even if you’ve struggled to stick to resolutions in the past, there’s no need to be put off,” she said.
