Slimmers from Spalding and Long Sutton plan to set up new weight loss groups after losing five stone between them




Two slimmers have transformed their lives after losing five stone between them – and now hope to help others achieve their weight loss dreams.

Alison Spiller, 50, and Kim Emerson Peters, 60, embarked on a new journey to get fit and spread the word, following the dramatic rise in obesity across the UK,

After joining the Spalding Slimming World group a year ago, Alison has lost three stone while Kim, who joined the in Long Sutton group seven months ago, has dropped two stone.

A statement issued on behalf of both women said: “Obesity is becoming such a huge issue across the UK. Like many we had tried to lose weight so many times before by following numerous diets. These were never sustainable and we both thought we were destined to struggle with our weight for the rest of our lives.”

The slimming duo have now trained to be consultants for Slimming World, where they will offer support and guidance to other members in Holbeach and Long Sutton.

Alison said: “When I joined Slimming World as a member, I never dreamed that I would end up helping other people to lose weight – I can’t wait to get started.

“Support is the most important thing, It all starts with feeling that you’re not alone and we will be there to support every one of our members to get to their chosen target weight.“

Kim added: “It’s not just about changing what you eat, becoming more active is important too. Our Body Magic programme takes the threat out of activity by showing people, who may have had unpleasant memories of being forced to take part in activities at school, that they can build it into their daily routine without having to take up traditional forms of exercise like going to the gym or running.”
