First place for the biggest loser

Members of the Arriba! Wellness Club, based in the British Legion club in Meads Avenue, Little Common, shed a collective total of 148lbs over their 12-week challenge.

First place went to Joe Dalton (right), of Magpie Close, who lost three stone - 16 per cent of his body weight.

Joe said: "I would have gone to this club earlier if I could have, as I have lost weight but also made new friendships."

Toni Lehman, personal wellness coach, awarded cash prizes to the top three finishers.

She said: "I am incredibly proud of all the challengers as not only are they losing weight but they are making changes to their lifestyle that will have a profound and lasting impact on their future health."

Limited spaces are available for the next weight-loss and wellness challenge, starting in May on Thursdays, 6.30-7.30pm in Meads Avenue. Call Toni on 01323 897671 or email [email protected].
