A Slimming World Consultant has received an award in recognition of the support she provides to people in Stourbridge to help them live happier, healthier lives.
Caroline Pitt, who runs the Norton and Amblecote Slimming World groups every week, was awarded Gold status by the weight loss organisation for the 3rd time thanks to the number of people she supports each week and the high level of service she provides to those members.
Caroline has helped 55 of her members to achieve their target weights so far this year and, with many more close to scoring their goals too, she is hugely proud of the difference she makes within her local community.
She says: “While I’m the one receiving this award, it’s an achievement for everyone in my Norton and Amblecote groups – they’ve absolutely gone for gold when it comes to their weight loss! So far this year they’ve lost a total of 244 stone.
For Caroline this achievement this time is even more special as she continues to honour the legacy of Slimming World founder, Margaret Miles Bramwell OBE who died earlier this year. Caroline says, ‘it feels like I am honouring Margaret and the incredible work she did for 55 years with Slimming World in my local community and that makes me feel incredibly proud’.
“Often people have pre-conceived ideas of what slimming clubs are like. And I’m delighted that our Slimming World group always surprises people – people might think losing weight is going to be about feeling guilty or ashamed, or worse being humiliated, but there’s no place for that at Slimming World. Everyone’s welcomed with kindness and given so much support – and we have lots of fun along the way too!
“They’re even more surprised when they find out about our healthy eating plan. Food Optimising has never been a diet or about going hungry, it gives members the freedom to enjoy naturally healthy everyday food in generous portions. It’s a way of eating you can keep up for good because you can still enjoy food and live your life.
“Seeing people discover that they can lose weight and that it doesn’t have to be a miserable experience is nothing short of magic. I truly believe I have the best role in the world. The support and training I’ve received from Slimming World has been second to none, and I love that they provide awards like this one to celebrate our achievements.”
The Norton Slimming World group is held every Tuesday at 8am, 9:30am and 11am at The Scout Hut and The Amblecote Slimming World group is held every Wednesday at 5:30pm and 7pm at The Ruskin Glass Centre. To join pop along or for more information contact Caroline on 07969 497085.
