NOT many people want to be labelled with the tag “the biggest loser” but two Billericay super slimmers certainly don’t mind.

Ken Westkett, 63, lost three stones and Joan Johnson, 77, lost four, each within six months after they started going to Slimming World classes in Billericay.

The pair were officially crowned the biggest losers of the year during a special ceremony at their weekly class, held at the day centre in Chantry Way.

Laura Lee, the Slimming World consultant who runs the class, said: “Ken and Joan have both done extremely well.

“They both joined up after being referred by their doctor as part of the GP voucher referral scheme.

“It proves it really is working when it comes to turning people onto a healthier lifestyle.”
