Two men delighted to be named Slimming World Men of the Year
TWO men have shared their delight at being named Men of the Year at their Slimming World group.
Kelvin Kelly, 72, and Jon Wheeler, 49, were thrilled to be crowned at the Slimming World group held at Masonic Hall, on Rainbow Hill.
Having joined in January 2025 thanks to a referral from his GP, Mr Kelly lost 49 pounds and has found he has enjoyed being a part of the group.
After the announcement, Mr Wheeler said: "The support I get from my group gives me so much confidence and I really enjoy going each week and I have made some really good friends too.
"It is a great opportunity to inspire the whole group with our achievements, sharing swaps we have made, recipe ideas and how to still enjoy the foods we love."
Sophie Marshman, Slimming World consultant said: "There is always a buzz in the room when we hold our competitions.
"It is amazing to see the positive changes in members, both physically and emotionally and the positive impact on their mental health, due to weight loss and knowing they are not alone, is amazing.
"It is such a privilege to help people lead healthier lives with the support of our groups.
"With obesity rising rapidly, Slimming World groups are here to help in households in Worcester lead healthier lifestyles."
