Aycliffe mum of three Pat Sloane, has always had two passions in her life – her family and Slimming World. Pat has followed the plan since 1998 and had great success and when 3 years ago her husband wanted to lose weight, Pat knew exactly where to go and enrolled him at her local Slimming World group.
“My husband was really reluctant to go but I pursuaded him as I knew that men and couples went and the plan would be easy for him to follow and we could help each other.”
The new extra easy plan had recently come out and Pat couldn’t wait to try it as a family.
“When we arrived, the Consultant and the group were so supportive of each other and welcomed us with open arms. We shared great ideas on how easy it was to make every day basics like pasta dishes, chips and curries. My husband has gone on to lose over 4 stone, and I’m close to my target weight. Due to our success, my son now attends the group along with his girlfriend and they have lost over 3 stone between them. It really is a family affair and our friends can’t wait to be invited for dinner as we have beautiful banquets and still lose weight!”
The whole family are attending Pat’s daughter’s wedding soon, a lot healthier, happier, and as Pat says ‘it’s all down to Slimming World’.
“I have always loved helping other people and now I have the privilege of supporting and helping people in a group. Losing weight has made me feel more confident and I now get to help people too.
Pat is re-launching the Woodham Community Centre group on 2nd June at 5pm and 7pm – come along and join.
