Wednesday was such an exciting day! This year we awarded 10 Slimmer of the Year titles including Bride Slimmer of the Year, 50+, Super-Fit, Biggest Loser, Entrepreneur, Student and we also gave our first ever Slimmer of the Year title to one of our Online members.
The event was held at the glorious Marriott County Hall Hotel on the Thames in London. Each winner enjoyed being made-over with our team of hair and make-up artists and, once dressed in their beautiful evening wear – except the Bride who wore her wedding dress, and our two male winners in their evening suits, they were ready to meet the press. They looked stunning – toned, confident, beautiful - and you would never have guessed that between them they had lost a monumental 100 stone! It was a very proud moment.
Press PLAY to watch a video from the event:
Dr. Hilary Jones also joined us for the celebrations and had a one-to-one medical consultation with each winner to establish their current health status. With several of the winners having halved their weight the results were impressive. Not only had they turned their health around by losing their weight, they had added years to their life expectancy – in fact, cumulatively, 87.5 years!
I had asked Dr Hilary to come along this year because I had never had so many successful slimmers who had lost weight so fast. I wanted to be able to confirm to the press that with a healthy low fat diet, group support and regular exercise, it is possible to lose weight fast but safely. Dr. Hilary confirmed this and he was really impressed by their levels of fitness and improved overall health. Depression, diabetes, asthma, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, joint pain - the list of conditions that these 10 folk had had was endless, but now it was different. So many were now off their medication completely. They really had saved their lives!
The champagne flowed, the TV cameras rolled and the flash bulbs went crazy as the press captured the moment. Many regions carried their stories in their 6 O’clock News bulletins that evening. It is such an exciting time for everyone and has a real touch of Hollywood about it!
But the best bit of it all is just seeing the smiles on the faces of the winners and the pride on the faces of their husbands, wives, families, RC class instructors and friends who were there to witness this exceptional event. An event that celebrated a massive amount of dedication, determination, will-power and energy expenditure! These worthy winners had worked very hard to achieve the trimmed down and toned up body that they owned today. They each totally deserved their £1000 prize.
