Leanne is just one of a number of members of the Costessey Slimming World group who has lost a large amount of weight.

Group leader Mandy Betts revealed her members have lost 10 and half stone collectively over the last four weeks.

She said many members have now either met their target weight or are well on the way to achieving it.

Though Halloween and the run up to Christmas may be a tempting time for many, Mandy has emphasised that joining Slimming World can help you through the festive season.

She said: 'When people join our group they soon realise that we're not about dieting and deprivation.

'Instead our members make life-long changes to the way that they shop, cook, and eat and learn how to make healthy choices so they can still enjoy treats like chocolate, sweets, wine and more, in moderation as well.'
