Congratulation to Liz Pearson of our Maesteg Class who has been selected to appear on the back of the latest publication of the A – Z Magazine.  As this is distributed around the country it’s great to pop into Smith’s when you are on holiday and see Liz.

Liz was thrilled to lose over two stone for her daughter’s wedding and found the Lifestyle Plan had lots of ideas for “meals for one” as well as family friendly recipes.  the following recipe for salmon steak was one of her favourites and will make a delicous meal for the Bank Holiday.  Tha Plan also included a “Daily Treat” she could still have a dessert or chocolate bar.

Salmaon Steak – Serves 1 Approx 300 cals per portion. 

Poach, grill or bake in foil one 112g/4oz salmon steak topped with 1 tspn low fat spread and garnished with dill.  Serve with 140g/5oz boiled potatoes and lots of favourite vegetables.

 

Marie’s Tip      *This recipe is also suitable for tuna steak.

* Make a tasty dressing by popping 56g/2ozs low fat cream cheese with chives into the micro. for a minute.  Mix with a tablespoon of extra light mayo and drizzle over fish.

Congratulations to Maureen Walton one of our members at our class in the Masonic Hall, Maesteg who is pictured with Elizabeth, Megan and Alison who all recently did the Race for Life in Cardiff

They collected a total of over £1,000.00 (one thousand pounds) between them for Cancer Research UK which is a tremendous achievment.

Well done to you all from Marie and all your friends at Slimtone.

A new class was opened in January this year at Cwrt Gwalia Ogmore Vale. I would like to congratulate everyone at the class for the record weight losses and the warm welcome and tremendous atmosphere each week. A special mention to Janice who has already lost four stone and Helen who has lost three stone. Also to Jack and Marion who have both lost over a stone and half since they joined the class. Everyone agrees that the healthy eating recipes, the GI plan and ideas in the Lifestyle plan makes dieting so easy. Together with the inspiration of Alison the Slimtone lecturer they all agree this is the secret of their success. The class meet every Thursday at Cwrt Gwalia from 9.30 – 10.30am. Everyone is welcome.

Rachel Watts one of our successful Slimtone members was featured in The Wales on Sunday last week . If you are dreading the long school holidays and are anxiously thinking how you will cope with your diet with the children home etc. you will certainly find all the inspiration you need when you read her story If you missed it log on to walesonline.co.uk and you will find it in the Health & Beauty section of their Lifestyle programme I know you will find the story as motivational as all our members at the weekly Sainsburys class that Rachel attends on a Tuesday evening. I think you will find her advice really useful at this time of year “planning all my meals and being organised was the key to my success” Well done Rachel..

Andrea is an inspiration to all the members of our Llys Faen class on a Friday morning. Having lost nearly two stone since the class started in February and was one of our first members at the venue to achieve her target weight. Read Andrea’s story on our website www.slimtone.co.uk

Thanks to all the Slimtone members for making our classes so very successful. Also, to our lecturers and all the helpers who make up the Slimtone team. It is always great to see so many of our target members coming along on a regular basis to check on their weight. They are an inspitation to everyone at the class. They all agreed during our celebrations this week that visiting the meetings on a regular basis is the secret of maintaining their weight loss. Gail Adams at our Maesteg Class is a wonderful example having lost over 5 stone over 20 years ago and is still a familiar face at The Masonic Hall Maesteg. Thanks to everyone once again for making Slimtone such a success

Slimtone is celebrating 28 years of success in it’s Ogmore and Maesteg classes next week. At both classes there will be an opportunity to sample lots of ideas for a healthy eating buffet. Also on Monday at the Non Political Club one lucky member will be having a “make over”. On Tuesday Morning and Thursday evening at Maesteg class Mark will be making a guest appearance. Showing some simple exercises to help while losing weight. Also, chatting about the Zumba classes which he takes every week at Maesteg Sports Centre. Come along to any of our classes to join in the celebrations. Don’t forget our new venue at Bro Castle Manor when the class starts on our anniversary 22nd June at 10.00am. Also for all staff in Lloyds TSB Call Centre our new class starts on Friday 25th June 2.30 – 4.30pm. Look forward to seeing you.

There is a new Slimtone class starting in Brocastle Manor on Tuesday 22nd June at 10.00am. This is really a great venue on the Brocastle Estate. It’s so convenient just pass Fords on the A48 continue to the next roundabout and it’s on your immediate left. Everyone welcome.

Congratulations to Rachel a member of our Sainsburys class on losing the massive amount of eight stone. I know you will all agree she looks fab. Rachel’s secret of success was to be organised and plan all meals in advance out of the large selection in the Lifestyle book. The large selection of packed meals were great for lunches in college. The spaghetti bolognese was her favourite meal in the evening, easy to prepare and really filling. Best wishes from all the members of Slimtone on your success.
