WHEN a Warrington woman's battle against health problems was cured by joining a slimming club, she was so inspired she launched her own.

Lezley Nichols, aged 23, of Flaxley Close, Gorse Covert, suffered from chronic stomach ulcers until last year.

After joining the club and losing more than two-and-a-half stones, Lezley's ulcers cleared up almost totally.

Now she wants to help other women lose weight. She said: "I'd suffered with health problems for a while before I joined the club.

"Then I lost the weight and it changed my life almost completely"

Lezley will be running the club at Culcheth parish hall every Thursday. For more information call her on 283 034.
