YORK'S slimmers shed more than 14,000 pounds last year - the equivalent of a fire engine of fat.
Slimming World class members successfully lost more than 1,000 stone, or 6.3 metric tonnes, in weight during 2004, much to the delight of the city's 11 consultants, who run 21 classes every week.
Consultant Julia Cluderay said: "We are absolutely delighted. It is such a lovely things for everyone to have achieved."
A total of 935 York people have already signed up to Slimming World so far this year and anyone wishing to join them should contact head office on 0870 330 7733 or visit www.slimming-world.co.uk.
