He decided to join a local Slimming World group and went on to lose four stone and seven pounds, achieving his ultimate personal dream target weight in just over six months.

The father-of-one said: “The best thing about it is not having to say no to anything. With Slimming Worlds Food Optimising plan there is absolutely nothing off the menu, you just plan it in. Our family favourite is wedges loaded with chilli and cheese”.

After losing weight Anthony felt inspired to want to help others feel the same as he did and take the next step and become a Slimming World Consultant.

He completed his training at the Slimming World Academy and for the last three years has been running three award winning groups in Holywell, North Wales.
