So it was a great achievement even though she didn’t actually win through to the final.  She is a winner regardless whether or not she won a

Welcome to my new Filey Slimming World blog, if you know me and are already a member of one of my groups then you will know that I have only just mastered the technology on my mobile phone – so to start a blog  is quite a big thing for me, but if you want to keep up with with everybody else then this is the way forward. And I thought it would be good to share with as many people as possible how great the  Filey groups are.

We have had a fab 40miles for Smiles walk which raised for the Childline Voice Appeal £340 everybody that took part did extremely well and also while raising pounds for a good cause walked off some extra pounds in weight and every body achieved the silver bodymagic awards.

This Thursday we will be at the groups celebrating all the members who have reached their target weight so calling all Target members, come and join in with the fun we will be having a buffet party with lots of syn free food, it doesn’t matter if you are out of target, this is a chance to sign in again for free and then regain that lovely figure, and that wonderful feeling of success.
