Losing Weight is No Laughing Matter! 

Local slimmers celebrate success with TV comedy

   

A group of Slimming World Consultants scored a big 10 out of 10 from comedian Jason Manford when they met him at the club’s annual awards ceremony to celebrate its most successful slimmers. 

 

The team, who run weekly Slimming World groups in Swindon, was thrilled to meet the funnyman, who shot to fame on TV panel show 8 Out of 10 Cats, at the event in Birmingham.

 

Jason Manford

 

Salford-born stand-up Jason, who has appeared on a string of television shows including Show Me the Funny, Comedy Rocks and Live at the Apollo, joined Slimming World’s founder Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE, FRSA to host the ceremony. 

 

He said: “Presenting the Slimming World Awards was a real honour. I was blown away by the achievements of all of the slimmers who joined us on stage."

 

"Throughout the day I met so many inspirational people, not only the slimmers collecting awards but also the amazing people who run the groups and help them achieve so much. It’s literally changed their lives beyond all recognition."

 

Great support network

  

“I know keeping weight in control is a challenge for a lot of us these days and I think the people of Swindon are very lucky to have people who are clearly as dedicated to their members as this bunch and to have such great support networks on their doorstep."

 

"If anyone in Swindon is thinking about trying to lose weight, I can honestly say that a Slimming World group is the place to do it!”
