A Dunfermline woman has lost more than four stone and is now helping others to do the same.

Samantha, a slimming expert, has lost four stone and 10 pounds thanks to Slimming World.

She said: “The last 2 years have been incredible, and my life has changed so much and it feels great.

"I achieved my dream weight, feeling fitter and healthier than ever, I changed job - as a member I was given the opportunity to become a consultant which was an incredible career change for me with so much reward.

"I am actually doing a job where people come first.

"I help them achieve things that they feel are impossible and it’s incredible."

Samantha was awarded the company’s "Gold Award" in July by Slimming World owner Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE, for her efforts in helping hundreds of members achieve their weight loss goals.

She said: "I truly love my job, I feel like a winner every week, helping people change their lives without hunger or deprivation – it’s liberating.

"I’ve now been given the opportunity as an Area Team Developer.

"I get to help even more people with a fantastic team of consultants in the Dunfermline and surrounding area."

With more than 60 per cent of adults and 36 per cent of children recorded as being obese in the area, Samantha is keen to welcome new members.

She said: "We are actively helping as many people as possible at the moment.

"New Members are always welcome as we look to inspire weightloss through healthy eating and activity, but to cope with the demand of New Members we also need more consultants."
