Meeting Peter Andre was just ‘insania’!

Brona O’Reilly and Fiona Thomas were thrilled to get a chance to cuddle up to Peter when he co-hosted the Slimming World Awards with the organisation’s chair and founder Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE.

Brona ,who runs a Slimming World group at Ballymoney Utd Football Club, Ballymoney every Wednesday and Peter Thompson Hall, Castlerock every Thursday, said meeting the Mysterious Girl and Insania singer was a wonderful way to round off what’s been a great 12 months for slimmers in Coleraine, as well as the perfect way to kick start another successful year: “I’m so proud of all of our members

“It’s so rewarding to see people achieve things that they didn’t think possible before losing weight, whether that’s wearing smaller-sized clothes, taking up new hobbies, reducing medication or being able to do more with their family and friends. Meeting Peter was a real treat – he was such a nice guy – and a great way to celebrate all of that. Now I feel powered up and I can’t wait to help my members hold on to all of the fabulous changes they’ve made, and to support even more people to become happier and healthier in 2015.”

Two-time celebrity dad-of-the-year, Andre said: “At the awards I met lots of people who’ve lost incredible amounts of weight and it has completely transformed their lives – and their families’ lives too. They’re eating more healthily and being more active, and so are their families. And every single one of them told me that they couldn’t have made those changes without the support of their Slimming World group and their Consultant, so people like Brona and Fiona are clearly very important.”

Fiona, who runs a Slimming World group at Bushtown Hotel, Coleraine every Wednesday and Christ Church Parish Hall, Limavady every Tuesday, hopes even more people will benefit from making healthy lifestyle changes this New Year: “I truly believe that joining Slimming World is the best way for people to lose weight this January,” she said.
