WHEN Helen Griffiths joined her local Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness Club in Lowton back in September, she literally wobbled through the door.

Now, only four months later, Helen has lost a staggering 33lbs in excess weight and looks great.

And it's all thanks to the encouragement of local organiser Linda Coombes and fellow members of the club.

They were all struck with Helen's determination to lose the pounds during the weeks spent at classes in Lowton Civic Hall. And even her husband Dave has been persuaded to lose more than two stones.

Linda commented: "Helen has been a real inspiration to her family, as well as her class. It just goes to show that when the 'cook' in the family starts to slim it is easy to encourage the rest of the family to eat a very healthy, low fat diet.

"Helen looks fantastic and I am very proud to have her as one of my members. Over the years Helen has tried every diet going but says quite clearly than none has ever worked like the Rosemary Conley one."

Anyone interested in knowing about the classes can ring Linda on 01942 707270.
