Tricia's new weight loss group is hitting all the right notes

Tricia Mann lost three stone after joining a Slimming World group about three years ago and said it gave her a new lease of life and helped her build new confidence.

Her new group celebrates its launch in Barton Seagrave this Saturday morning at 8.30am.

Tricia said: “Over the years I’ve gone to different groups and people said I had the personality to lead my own group.

“I turned 40 at my last birthday and I decided I wanted to do something to help others. There will probably be people sitting at home feeling like I felt a few years ago and those are the people I want to help.

“I know what it’s like. My husband works and I have three teenage step-sons, so I know how difficult it can be when you are really busy.

“I got married last year and I’ve never felt as great as I did on my wedding day having worked to lose that weight.”

Tricia is a professional singer and performs under her maiden name, Tricia Grier.

She began performing in her late teens and her career saw her travel all over the world and work as a session singer for Polydor.

She now performs closer to home in Northamptonshire and is pictured singing at the Wicksteed Park fireworks display in 2015.

Tricia added: “Losing the weight gave me a whole new stage presence.”

The new group meets for the first time in Barton Seagrave this Saturday from 8.30am and will be meeting at the same time on subsequent Saturdays.
