A BROOKLANDS slimming club is celebrating a very happy new year after losing a combined 36 stone since the club opened in October.


Members of the Brooklands Slimming World group dreamed of starting 2014 a stone lighter when they embarked on the weight-loss mission nine weeks ago.


And now their wishes have come true after the 60 slimmers who attend the group, which is held at St John the Divine Church, every Wednesday, have lost an average of 8lbs each.


Nicole Nixon, who runs the group and has lost four stone herself, said: “Lots of people were surprised when, in October, we said it was possible to lose a stone before the New Year, even in the party season.


“But the Brooklands Slimming World group are proof it was possible and now they’re looking and feeling fantastic. I’m really proud of each and every one of them.”
