Last Tuesday Slimming World's Greatest Loser awards ceremony was held, recognising the amazing achievements of our members who have lost the most weight. Between our ten finalists they have lost a staggering 154 stone 4lb! 

The event was held at the Kensington Roof Gardens and was also attended by journalists, health professionals and our very own Slimming World stars from our previous competitions, including Woman of the Year 2007 Stephanie Burgess, Graham Clough our Man of the Year from 2001 and many, many more.

The winner of Greatest Loser 2008 is Roberto Enrieu who attends Jane Smith’s Whitley group in Coventry. Roberto has lost an amazing 22 stone 12lb since joining Slimming World in May 2006. He was presented with a prize of £3000 from Caryl Richards, Slimming World's Managing Director, and Julie Jones (last year’s Greatest Loser) along with his Consultant Jane.

Roberto also featured on Tuesday's ‘The One Show’ (available on iPlayer) and you can also see him on the GMTV website!  Visit Slimming World's website again on Monday to read Roberto's amazing story of weight loss success.

 

Slimming World’s Greatest Loser 2008 will be revealed today at a dazzling lunchtime event at Kensington's Rooftop Gardens, London.  The competition is open to members of Slimming World groups from across the UK and is awarded to the entrant with the greatest weight loss, provided some of that weight loss has occurred within the last 12 months with Slimming World.

And, although we can't yet reveal our fabulous winner, tune in to BBC1's  One Show tonight at 7pm to hear their amazing story of weight loss success or visit our blog tomorrow to discover more!

Members of Liz Kaye’s St. Alban’s group bared all this week on Channel 4’s ‘How to Look Good Naked’.  Liz revealed: “We met Gok, were pampered with makeovers, enjoyed lunch… and then disrobed!  Having a photo taken without your clothes on is very scary but we were all in the same position and the whole team were all really caring and supportive. We had a brilliant time.”
