A mother has been inspired by her 5-year-old daughter to help people lose weight.

Cher Nedd opens her Slimming World Group at the Tottenham Community Centre on Saturday January 20 at 8:30am.

Cher lost almost 4 stone and dropped four dress sizes while on the Slimming World programme which boosted her confidence and gave her a new lease of life.

After listening to her daughter speak at a school assembly on the topic of healthy eating Cher decided to become a Slimming World consultant.

Cher, said: “My health and lifestyle was bad when I joined Slimming World.

“Losing the weight transformed my life, really.

“My confidence has been boosted and I can do so much more.

“It inspired me to set up the Group.

“I would love to help others transform their lives as I did, with the freedom to eat food without feeling hungry or guilty.

“If my daughter can eat healthily and wants to walk to school every day preaching to everyone who will listen, then I feel I can use what I’ve learnt from Slimming World to help people.

“I know there’s an obesity problem and I want to say ‘Yes, I can make a difference.”

Doctors, nurses and other health professionals can give Slimming World on Referral to people who they feel would benefit.

Slimming World on Referral offers free membership of a local group at no cost to the person referred.
