Mum-of-two loses 17st with Slimming World - with first results in just a week

mirror.co.uk:

New research from Slimming World has shown that the more weight you lose in your first week, the more likely you are to do well on your weight-loss journey as time goes on.

The research, into one million slimmers, revealed that people who lost 5lbs or more in their first week of attending a Slimming World group were four times more likely to lose 10 per cent of their body weight within three months.

Men are twice as likely to see weight drop off in their first week, and the findings also found those aged 55 and over were the most successful at losing weight over a longer period, with just over half (52 per cent) losing at least five per cent of their body weight in three months.
