Bianca weight loss is Wellingborough’s gain A slimmer who transformed her life by losing two and a half stone is using her success to shape a whole new career helping other people change their lives and achieve their weight loss dreams too. Bianca Telford joined her local Slimming World group in Wellingborough two years ago and dropped from 13 stone 6.5 pounds to 10 stone 12 pounds. Now, she has trained as a Consultant for Slimming World, the UK’s largest group-based weight loss organisation, at their national training academy in Derbyshire. Members at the group are getting ready to welcome Bianca as their new Consultant when she takes over the group on the 30th June 2016. She says: “Obesity is becoming such a huge issue across the UK. When I first joined Slimming World as a member, I never dreamed that I would end up helping other people to lose weight but now I just can’t wait to get started. After losing two and a half stone and completing my training, it’s a privilege for me to be able to pass on the experience, insight and understanding that helped me, so that I can give my members the support they need to get to target. “Support is really the most important thing. It all starts with feeling that you’re not alone. I couldn’t have lost two and a half stone without the weekly help, encouragement and understanding of my own Consultant and group. As someone who has lost weight myself I know the challenges people can face, which is why, along with the group, I will be there to support every one of my members all the way to their chosen target weight. Setting targets, sharing recipes and other ideas, and working together as a group to overcome
challenges and celebrate success is so important to a successful journey. That’s why, at my Slimming World group, there’ll be tons of support, encouragement and fun. “With Slimming World it was amazing I never felt like I was on a diet. The eating plan encourages you to eat lots of tasty, filling foods like pasta, rice, potatoes and lean meat and fish, you are never hungry and no foods are banned so there’s no deprivation. I couldn’t believe I’d found a way to lose weight without starving myself. I can still enjoy going out to restaurants and know how to make good food choices. Fantastic recipes available to enjoy at home such as curries and even slimming world chips which are one of my favourites. “Slimming World isn’t 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, many of whom have unpleasant memories of being forced to take part in activity at school, how they can build activity into their daily routine without having to take up traditional forms of exercise like going to the gym or running. Everything counts from walking to gardening to washing the car. I love walking, and also recently started playing with my youngest daughter on the trampoline, and I have done activities on the wii fit too. As a Consultant it’s my role to create that warm, supportive atmosphere to get people sharing their ideas and experiences to help others - it’s going to be great fun!” Like Bianca, Slimming World Consultants are all former members who have lost weight at their local group themselves and groups are set up as

micro businesses in the heart of local communities. There are currently around 4,000 Slimming World Consultants across the UK and Ireland running 15,000 groups. Consultants receive training in Slimming World’s healthy eating and physical activity programmes and learn how to use the power of group support to empower members to take control of their own weight loss journey. As self-employed micro-entrepreneurs, Consultants also learn how to build a successful communitybased business. Bianca says she can’t wait for the new challenges running her own business will bring. “For me becoming a self-employed franchisee was a great option. I wanted a job that was well paid, flexible and could fit around our family life, and could spend more time with them too, and the added bonus of actually helping people feel positive about their weight loss journey so launching my own Slimming World group was an ideal option – I feel like I’ve got a brand new career and I can’t wait for my new group to run now! Amie Craddock, manages Bianca as a Team Developer, says: “Slimming World Consultants are chosen for their positive outlook and because they genuinely care about the health and happiness of others. With Bianca’s experience of being a successful Slimming World member and her kind and warm personality and great sense of humour I just know that she’ll be an amazing support to members, cheering them all the way to their target weight.” Bianca’s Slimming World group will be held at St Marks Church every Thursday at 5.30/7.30 from 30th June 2016.
