Sisters' slimming success
Joanne O’Hara has almost 4 stone off and runs the Donemana group on a Wednesday evening. Janice has lost over 2 stone with Slimming World and runs the Thursday evening group in Claudy and is now opening a Saturday morning group.
Joanne says, “Rural groups have a fabulous sense of community and a real perseverance. Our members really support one another and come every week - the pounds are falling off.”

Hide AdLinda Breslin, just one half of the Donemana group’s Couple of the Year says, “I love the Extra Easy plan – I can eat as much as I want of potatoes, meat, rice, fish, pasta and fruit and veg which makes cooking for the family so easy.”
Joanne is full of praise for Linda and her friend Ellen Black who have both lost almost 5 stone each to reach their targets.
“They are really inspirational and I was delighted to award them their Target Award which means they have free lifetime membership.”
The sisters both agree that there are lots of benefits for members joining one group or the other.

Hide AdJanice says “Members joining any Slimming World group can weigh in at any other group any week they can’t get to their own and with Donemana and Claudy only a few miles apart, it makes it easier for members to get to a group for that all important support.”
Linda’s husband Raymond has already achieved his target after shedding 3 stone.
Raymond says: “The weekly support in group is one of the unique things about Slimming World but for me the main thing was the eating plan with no counting or weighing, there was so much that we could eat without worrying.”
