A WOMAN who has attended Slimming World groups for the past four years and has been at target for more than one year now is getting ready to start her own group.

Sharon Johnson from Threlkeld will take over a new group in Keswick starting June 3.

Sharon has been helped and supported through most of her last pregnancy as well as losing two stone on her Slimming World journey.

She has been a massive part of her local group, and has bagfuls of empathy, lots of positivity and great ideas to help others reach target.

Sharon is a family girl with three children and husband Paul. Her lifestyle is very busy, as she works as a beauty therapist at Star Beauty in Keswick and also cleans holiday cottages.

Being a team player is very important to Sharon and knows having others to cheer her on has helped her succeed and this is something she wants to bring to her own Slimming World groups.

She said: “Fitting into clothes that you thought you could never wear is a sense of achievement that runs through every fibre of your being; it’s like experiencing little shockwaves of delight, especially when someone compliments you. We learn to adapt old attitude’s and habits in group and you’ll recover strength (mental and physical) you never knew you had.”

Andrea Brough, who runs groups in Penrith and Manages Sharon as a team developer, said “Slimming World consultants are chosen for their positive outlook and because they genuinely care about the health and happiness of others.”

You will find Sharon at the Rawnsleys Centre Hall, Keswick every Thursday at 5:30 pm and 6:30pm or Fridays at 10 am and 11 am. Places need to be booked.
