"So inspirational" - Slimming World’s celebration day as three consultants are recognised

Three Slimming World Consultants from our area have been recognised with Community Impact Awards for their amazing work supporting people to live happier, healthier lives.

Liz Philo, Lea Harvey and Christine Micallef, who run local Slimming World groups in Fareham, Waterlooville, Stubbington and Lee -on-the-Solent were presented with these awards at a prestigious celebration day at the company’s Derbyshire Head Office.

Lea, Christine and Liz have helped hundreds of members to reach their target weights, a goal each member chooses for themselves, over the past year, with many more close to doing the same. They are hugely proud of the difference they make within their local community.

They all agree that attending this event is an achievement for everyone in their groups – their members have reached for the stars with their weight losses! Over the past year alone, they’ve shed an incredible total of 35,070 lbs and drastically improved their health.”

Between them these three amazing ladies also achieved Slimming World’s Gold Diamond and Emerald Awards this year. These wins acknowledges them for running some of the best weight loss groups across the UK and Ireland.

They achieved these awards thanks to impressive the number of people they support to lose weight, welcoming more than 865 members each week, and how many members keep returning to the group for their exceptional level of service and their incredible weight loss results

Christine, Lea, Liz and other high achieving weight loss experts were greeted on the day by some of the company’s directors and were given a behind-the-scenes tour of head office and heard about exciting developments happening within the business to further improve the organisation's support to them and their members. They were treated like superstars for the day.

They say: “It was an absolute honour to be invited to the Slimming World Head Office for this celebration day. It was so special meeting other Consultants like us who are working across the UK and Ireland to support people to lose weight and improve their health. Hearing all of the amazing milestones we’d helped members to achieve was staggering and we felt so moved knowing we and our members are a part of it.’

These inspirational consultants agree that’s It’s so special running their Slimming World groups and supporting their members with their weight loss. Seeing them reach each milestone and celebrating with them is the most incredible feeling. They truly believe they have the best, most rewarding, role in the world and this award makes it even more special.

Our Slimming World groups welcome anyone wanting to lose weight – including those taking weight loss medication or injections – for support to build healthy habits and keep the weight off long term.

When it comes to feeling unhappy with your weight, they completely get how hard trying to lose weight alone is, It requires real changes to build lasting healthy habits around food, drink and activity and to address the deeper mindset shifts that are needed to support weight loss long term. Slimming together in a group with other like minded people from all walks of life gives the support, friendship and motivation that enables members to lose and maintain their weight long into the future.

The group experience really makes all the difference in the world and our local Slimming World consultants are at their groups to help each and everyone achieve and keep their weigh loss dreams. These three ladies have seen their members, run marathons, ride super bikes, do a wing walk, join race for life, reverse type 2 diabetes, come off medication for high blood pressure and cholesterol, reduce their BMI for knee and hip surgeries, and even make IVF possible, among so many other amazing health benefits.

Every session, every group, every week is different and they are there to support members 52 weeks a year.
