SLIMMERS in Chester are being offered the chance to take a bite out of the Big Apple in a national weight loss contest.

Sandie Marshall, who runs All About Weight Chester, is urging people to enter a Slimmer of the Year competition, where the nation’s top slimmer will win a trip to New York.

All About Weight, the UK’s leader in lifestyle nutrition, has helped thousands of people to lose thousands of pounds and will celebrate the success of its super slimmers at a national awards ceremony in February.

Sandie said: “We hear such amazing weight loss stories from our clients in the area and we want to inspire others - especially in the lead up to Christmas and into the New Year.”

The closing date is January 18 and finalists will be notified week commencing January 21. The eight finalists will be invited to London to attend an awards dinner in February where the two Slimmers of the Year will be announced.

The judging panel will be looking at the percentage weight loss achieved while on the plan coupled with the inspirational stories.

Each of the eight finalists will win a trip to London to attend the awards, a makeover and photoshoot to capture their new look.

The person crowned Slimmer of the Year will win an all-expenses paid trip to New York.
