New year, new slimmer you?

Caitriona and Jacinta.
Formed in the UK 42 years ago by a woman who felt she had been humiliated at a weight loss group, Slimming World has taken Cavan by storm in the past year.
Saranna McGovern brought the first group to Cavan in April 2010 and it has now become something of a phenomenon. Empowered by their own weight loss and improvements to the quality of their lives, members continue to branch out and train to start their own groups in new areas. When Caitriona McCabe starts her Slimming World group in Belturbet and Jacinta Donohoe starts hers in Arva, both in the new year, there will be nine groups in the county - some with as many as 70 members (both men and women). Working mums Caitriona and Jacinta say that committing to just one hour a week of 'me-time' has changed their lives in ways they had given up on. If you're looking to kickstart changes this new year, they say it's a great place to start.
