Holbeach slimmers lose 76 stone in just three months of work

Members of a weight loss group have lost an astonishing 76 stone between them in just three months.

The group meets on Monday evenings at Holbeach WI Hall and is run by Mel Horscroft.

“I started the class in May and it has grown and grown. There were about 25 to 30 people at the start, but more than 60 now,” she said.

Mel became a consultant for Slimming World after she lost four stone.

“I am really proud of how it is going and how much they have lost in such a short time.

“We have members of all ages and between them they have lost an incredible 1,062lb, or 76 stone,” she said.

An extra class is being added with a 5.30pm start for those who can’t make the later time of 7.30pm.

“It’s not all about what you can’t eat – it’s more about what you can and eating healthily,” said Mel, of Swineshead.

If anyone would like further information about the group, contact Mel on 07775 691481. The first evening of the additional club is Monday, September 4 and it starts at 5.30pm.
