Nick Page is a member of 1year at my Slimming World group held Tuesdays at Bedford House, Westbury Rd. Buckhurst Hill.

This week we celebrated with a buffet evening as he became our 'Greatest Loser 2015'. He has lost the most weight in the group being 6 stone 6lbs.

Nick told us how he 'never enjoyed going out before' but now he has a new found confidence and enjoys socialising.

He is obviously far healthier and happier too.

Nick is an inspiration to fellow members and encourages other men to join.

We currently have 12 men in our group who are all doing very well with their losses.

It's predicted by 2050 that 60% of men could be obese.

We would like to raise awareness that we are not just for women! There are many overweight happy men too that need help.

When the men join Slimming World they soon discover a supportive and friendly group. They are also happy to discover that they don't have to give up things like beer, curry and chips and lose weight eating man-size portions!
