Two Slimming World consultants from Gwynedd got the chance to rub shoulders with TV chat show host and comedian Alan Carr at an event organised to celebrate success.

Alan co-hosted the annual Slimming World Awards with the organisation’s founder and chair Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE, and Kirsty Roberts, who runs a Slimming World group in Pwllheli, and Kate Knowles, who runs one in Penrhyndeudraeth were delighted when they got the chance to meet the ‘Chatty Man’.

Kristy said the evening was the perfect end to a fantastic year for the Gwynedd Slimming World groups.

“The members at our group make me burst with pride, not only have they seen big changes on the scales, many have improved their health and completely changed their lives too,” she said.

“I feel proud of the small part I play in supporting people to achieve their dreams and to celebrate alongside them when they do, so I was honoured to represent Gwynedd at the Slimming World Awards.”

Alan said it was great to meet Kristy and Kate at the event, which was held at Birmingham’s International Convention Centre.

“I met so many people who had transformed their lives and it was clear how much the support they received from their ‘Slimming World family’ meant to them,” he said.

“Every one of them spoke passionately about how they couldn’t have made those changes to eat more healthily and become more active without the support of consultants like Kristy, Kate and their group every week.

“I left the awards feeling so uplifted and positive. I wish I could’ve bottled that Slimming World feeling.

Looking ahead, Kate said: “Last year was our 50th year, which was full of celebrations and successes.

“We’ve supported more people than ever to achieve their dreams and we’re so excited about what 2020 has in store.”
