The Winners Of The January Meeting Of The Month Competition

‘Meeting of the Month’ is our exciting competition, where we celebrate the outstanding group achievements of our Leaders and Members. Each month, we’ll be showcasing  a different meeting by posting its inspirational story here, on our Play Weight Watchers blog. Any meeting can feature, all you need to do is enter the competition for your chance to win.

This month we are delighted to announce that the fabulous Sonia Holmes has led her meeting in New Ollerton to success!

 Here’s the story of Sonia’s meeting, in her own words;

Our venue ‘Lifespring Church’, New Ollerton has undergone extensive renovations for the past year with lots of disruption from noise in our meetings. Therefore, we decided to hold a party to celebrate the completion of works and enjoy lots of lovely food and drink. In order to help inspire my members I’ve I always encourage them to try new foods, give them ideas to stay on track and still lose or maintain weight.

 It’s not just a one way street though, my members inspire me as well, making me proud of the work that we have all achieved and proud of them for sticking with it. Many of my members have received comments from doctors saying how impressed they were with their weight loss, and how good the Weight Watchers plan seems to be. The Doctors also commented that they wish more of their patients would follow Weight Watchers and that just goes to show that while people see the visible effects of weight loss it’s the overall medical benefit which also counts.

 Sonia is such an inspiration to her members that one of them has even written a poem about her:

 Sonia Holmes is our leader’s name

To get you to goal is her aim

A friendly hello greets you each week

From Sonia who looks stylish and chic

Step on the scales she’ll see what you weigh

And work out your points to have everyday

Folders and trackers are given to you

For you to read all the way through

Stay to our meetings for helpful advice

As the people at New Ollerton are really nice

Have a coffee and a raffle ticket too

You never know the winner could be you

So if you’re still struggling with your weight

Open your diary and make our class your date!

To celebrate their success and to congratulate them winning  the accolade  “Meeting of the Month”, the New Ollerton meeting will be heading of to a luxurious spa courtesy of Weight Watchers. We hope they all have a fabulous and well deserved day!

This month, we had a number of worthy entries and therefore had to mention just a few of them who we will award with “Highly Commended” titles.
