More than two tonnes of weight loss by around 110 Slimming World members in Wiggenhall St Germans and Fincham in 2024




More than two tonnes of weight has been lost by members of a village weight loss group during 2024.

The group of around 110 people who attend Slimming World St Germans and Fincham have shredded a total of 5,103.5Ib, equivocating to 2,116 stone, or 156 average UK men.

Slimming World consultant Mikayla Coote has welcomed a number of new members after they have been referred by Norfolk County Council weight loss referral scheme.

Mikayla said that some members who joined the groups due to a pre-diabetic/diabetic diagnosis have been able to put their condition into remission.

The consultant said that Slimming World “isn’t just a job” to her and that it is her “real passion” to support members with weight loss.

Mikayla said: “I’ve spent a lot of my life feeling like I do not fit in. In the past, I have suffered from poor mental health, body dysmorphia, and a real lack of support and loneliness. At my biggest I found myself joining Slimming World for the fifth or sixth time and I didn’t even tell my family.

“It really did give me a sense of belonging and being surrounded by a wide range of people, all different stories and backgrounds but all with the same goal, to lose weight.

“For me, I wouldn’t be where I am today, more confident and supporting others if it wasn’t for a local group I attended.”

She added: “It is why I became a consultant, because I remember how alone I felt, and how I really didn’t value myself and the idea of someone sitting at home feeling that way really does break my heart.

“It is why I pride myself on providing a friendly group where members can come and not only learn how to lead healthier lifestyles but can learn to find themselves and more importantly, love themselves.

“I have a real passion for what I do and I hand on heart mean it when I say, Slimming World didn’t just change my life, it saved it.”
