A MEMBER of the Hood Manor Slimming World group is sharing her weightloss success after shedding four stone in just six months.

Rebecca Oxland made a raft of changes to her lifestyle through the programme, and the 27-year-old is now motivating other people to make a change by sharing before and after photographs and meal ideas on Instagram with her 1,000 followers.

“Tracking progress through Instagram has really inspired me to see the real difference Slimming World has made,” said Rebecca.

“Going to a group gives me the motivation each week to keep aiming towards my overall goal, and I’m really happy with the results.

“I’m able to lose weight while continuing to eat gorgeous food and I never go hungry at all.”

Rebecca, from Newton-le-Willows, joined Slimming World at the end of November last year and lost five pounds in her first week.

By January this year, she had already reduced her body weight by 10 percent.

“I know this has improved my overall health by reducing the risk of diabetes, cholesterol and other diseases,” she added.

“It has been such a motivation for me to attend the group at St James Church each week and have the support of the other members.”

Slimming World Consultant Anne-Marie McCulloch also revealed how proud she is of the progress Rebecca has made.

“Rebecca was worked really hard and it has been fantastic to see how much progress she is making each week.

“It has been a pleasure to see her achieve her dream weight and I hope she can inspire and encourage others to do the same."
