Getting into shape: Castlewellan’s Lorna Harper in her new post with Slimming World.[/caption]
Lorna Harper joined her local Slimming World group five years ago and hasn’t looked back since. After training as a consultant for Slimming World, the UK’s leading slimming club, and running two successful groups in Castlewellan, Lorna has recently been promoted to Team Developer in the local Down area.
Speaking to Down News she said: “I’m thrilled to bits about my new role in Slimming World. It’s a fantastic job that I can do alongside my consultant role. It involves training and coaching the consultants on our team to ensure Slimming World are delivering the highest quality service we possibly can.
“When I joined as a member I never thought I would end up where I am today and I just couldn’t believe it when the opportunity came up to be a Slimming World consultant in the area I lived in.
“As soon as I found out I went along to the Opportunity Event, an information evening, to find out more about the consultant role. It sounded too good to be true. I found out I needed no qualifications as full training was to be provided.  This position is really part time allowing me to spend more time with my young family.  I could earn anything from £100 to £400 per week and because I was self-employed my success was totally down to me and my motivation to succeed.”
“My weight loss has completely changed my life. I feel like a new person now just full of energy. I’ve got a new career. It’s well-paid and the hours fit around my family, but best of all, I’m doing something that I’m passionate about.
“As a slimmer myself I know how hard it all can be and I couldn’t have done it without the support of my Slimming World group. This is why I have chosen to further my career with Slimming World, so I can help even more people achieve their dream weight.
“We are always looking for caring, inspiring and fun people to join our team so if you are interested please call Lorna on 07531595280.“
The sessions are held in Castlewellan GAC
from Tuesday 5.30pm and 7.30pm, and Wednesday from 9.30am.Â
Everyone is welcome.
