Slimming experts in north Herts are celebrating after helping people achieve their weight loss goals throughout the Covid pandemic.

Now, they have launched a campaign to recruit more people with a passion for helping others through Slimming World virtual careers opportunity events, taking place in December and January.

Sarah Lawrence, who runs groups in Hitchin and manages a team of consultants who run Slimming World groups in Stevenage, said: "We're proud to be offering support sessions for our members 52 weeks a year, no matter what, which allow our members to keep focused on their weight loss goals.

"In over 50 years, millions of people have changed their lives with Slimming World's brilliant combination of a hunger-busting eating plan, increased activity and weekly group support.

"Now, with obesity at an all-time high – two out of three adults in the UK are overweight or obese – and government predictions say that 80 per cent of men and 70 per cent of women will be overweight or obese in the next decade – the demand for our unique, warm and friendly approach has never been greater.

"At Slimming World we have the best eating plan in the world where members can, and do, lose weight without ever having to go hungry. We have the best understanding of the psychology of slimming and we choose consultants for their empathy, warmth and understanding.

"We have the best training in the business too. Every consultant who comes on board goes through an in-depth training programme and is awarded diplomas in nutrition and the psychology of weight management, as well as successfully running their own slimming business."

Slimming World is looking for people who have lost weight with the organisation and who can share their own success story to build a fabulous career.
