Tony and Gill Vosper and Tim and Kristina Ahling-Slade have been crowned Slimming World’s couples of the year, which they attend on a Wednesday evening and Saturday morning respectively.

The Vospers have lost nearly three stone and says it is down to spending time in the kitchen together.

Gill, who has lost one stone and eight pounds, said: “Making small changes to the way we cooked our meals meant we could still enjoy all of our favourite meals.”

The Ahling-Slades have lost nearly three-and-a-half stone, with Tim shedding more than two stone since joining the Sidmouth Slimming World group 15 weeks ago.

Tim said: “We are lucky because as well as the support we had from each other, the rest of the group have also been there for us.”

Sidmouth Slimming World consultant Harriet Steptoe said the couples were living proof that success came when losing weight together.

She added: “Seeing their weight come down week after week has been a joy. They’re a real inspiration to the rest of the group, including me.”
