Let’s Beat Obesity Together campaign being launched by Slimming World in Swindon

10:15am Wednesday 1st February 2012

Following the huge success of the 2011 campaign which saw Slimming World members throughout the UK and Ireland lose a staggering 3,876,146lbs (270,439 stone!), we’re encouraging the people of Swindon to join our community weight loss campaign again in 2012. You’ll already be aware that obesity is one of the greatest issues facing the UK and Ireland today, and our area is no exception: in Wiltshire obesity rates are soaring. This is bad news for our whole community. First and foremost, it means personal unhappiness, low self esteem and increased risk of weight-related illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer for all of those people struggling to manage their weight. It affects families, schools, and of course it puts pressure on our local GPs, hospitals and on employers in terms of lost working days.

Hypnotherapist helping the people of Rodbourne to lose weight and get fit.

2:24pm Tuesday 24th January 2012

My name is Stacey Reeves, and I am a fully qualified Hypnotherapist and Counsellor based in Rodbourne. I qualified a little over two years ago, and decided from the outset that I wanted to help individuals to reach their goals and fulfil their potential-whatever that may be. Everybody has something that they would like to achieve, improve or change, but often feel as though they are unworthy or incapable of achieving this.
