Success for weight loss group

Pippa Cross, who runs the group, had two winners from her course in May, Hilary Turner and Debbie Rauey, who both lost nine pounds in four weeks "which was great".

Pippa is a clinical nutritionist who was concerned about increasing obesity in both adults and children and decided she wanted to make a difference by sharing her knowledge with groups of people rather than just individuals.

She puts her success down to tackling weight gain by addressing a variety of issues, such as education and learning what the body needs, dealing with a slugging digestion and metabolism, exploring food intolerance and encouraging group support.

She commented: "Motivation is probably the hardest part of trying to keep to a diet so a group's support is invaluable... like-minded people, in it together, sharing stories, experiences, and empathy."

The next classes start on: Tuesday June 15 at the Body Junction at 12.30pm, Wednesday June 16 at Bexhill Sailing Club at 12.30pm, and the Friday session on June 18 at Body Junction, which is already full.
