SLIMMING World has welcomed a new consultant - and it is one of their former members.

Jo Campbell-Dykes, from Poole, has joined Slimming World as a consultant after experiencing her own success at the weight loss organisation.

Jo’s life was transformed earlier this year when she lost 30lb with her local group in Corfe Mullen.

Now, she is striving to help other people to achieve their own weight loss dreams.

Jo said: “When I first joined Slimming World as a member, I never dreamed that I would end up helping other people to lose weight but now I just can’t wait to get started. I’ve have been overweight since a young age and I was bullied emotionally and physically, through my school years.

“My whole adult life has been spent constantly struggling to lose weight and then to keep it off. After losing over 2st and now completing my training, it’s a privilege for me to be able to pass on the experience, insight and understanding that helped me, so that I can give my members the support they need to get to target."

Jo had trained at Slimming World’s national training academy in Derbyshire, but now qualified, will open her own group in Poole.

Her Slimming World group will be held at Oakdale Conservative Club every Saturday at 8am from November 5.
