A slimmer is looking forward to the rest of 2015 more than most, after being crowned a diamond member.

Davina Bennett was crowned Canons Park’s Slimming World Diamond Target member this month, after losing more than three stone and maintaining her weight for a full year.

Since joining the Canons Park Slimming World group in September 2013, she has dropped four dress sizes and her transformation has seen her become group leader Tony Cohen’s first ever 'diamond' member – along with being voted the group’s woman of the year.

She said: “I was already really looking forward to 2015 and finally feeling glamorous enough to wear the outfits I always dreamed of. Claiming the award has really helped me feel special and I could not have done this without the support of the group.”

“When I was bigger I was really unhappy. I didn’t like what I saw when I looked in the mirror, I hated shopping for clothes and I felt self-conscious most of the time. Things are completely different now and I feel much more confident than I used to.

The group meet at St Lawrence Church Hall, Edgware, every Thursday at 7.30 pm - for more information, call Tony on 07592 929882.
