TWO slimmers are getting ready to celebrate in style this party season after winning weight loss competitions at their Slimming World group.

Emily Hilliard was voted as the Launceston Slimming World group's Miss Slinky 2014 after they were wowed by her 5st weight loss, and Mike Wallington, who has also lost 5st, was named the group's Mr Sleek 2014.

Slimming World's annual Miss Slinky competition recognises those female members who have changed both inside and out by becoming healthier and happier, slimmer and more confident — and look great in their party dress. For the first time this year the competition has a male counterpart, Mr Sleek, and the national winners of both contests will win a £2,000 cash price.

Both Emily and Mike say they were honoured to win their respective titles.
