Sally (54), is married to Gregor and has three grown-up children, Greg, Scott and Ashley.

How long have you been a Slimming World consultant?
For 14 years in total.

How did you get into the role?
When I was 39, I had put some weight on and felt really frumpy. I didn't want to be fat at 40.
I saw an advert in the Kirkintilloch Herald that said Slimming World were looking for consultants, and I thought it would be a good way to lose weight and give me something to do one night a week.
I went along to a couple of classes as a member and then was trained up to take my own class.
In 10 weeks, I lost a stone and a half and started to feel good about myself.
I have never looked back. I am a healthy weight now and I am happy.

How many classes do you run?
Four - two in Kirkintilloch, one in Bishopbriggs and one in Muirhead.

When did you decide to make Slimming World your full time job?
I had one class and was asked to take on another in Kirkintilloch. I was running two classes, had a full time job and three children to look after.
It started to get too much, so I spoke to Slimming World and they encouraged me to take on more classes, which meant I could leave my job.

What did you do before Slimming World?
My husband was a professional footballer so we stayed in various places in the UK.
I worked as an audio typist and worked for Littlewoods. I used to hate getting up to go to work as a sales rep, but I thoroughly enjoy my job now.

What teams did your husband play for?
Leicester, Rangers, Motherwell and Hearts. He works as a sales engineer now.

What do you enjoy most about your job?
I get a lot of job satisfaction when members are happy and achieving their targets. I feel very proud of my members.
When people come in with a weight problem, you can sense they are really unhappy. They lose weight, it boosts their confidence and it can help them change their life.
I also enjoy the fun and the laughter of the classes. I don't treat it as going to work, it is like meeting up with friends.

Is it mainly women at the classes?
Yes, but I would like to encourage more men to come along. One man recently came to the door of the class then walked out again. I ran after him and he came back and joined the class. He was embarrassed and worried his friends would find out, but he has managed a good weight loss and the female members make him feel very welcome.

What has been your proudest moment?
I was sitting in a restaurant once with my friends when a man came over with a glass of wine and said: "Thanks for giving me my wife back." I was very emotional.
I also get thank you letters from members, which are very touching.

What is the biggest weight loss a member has had?
One woman lost eight stones and another has lost six.
I have been very successful with the weight loss of members.

What are the worst parts of your job?
Leaflet drops are the worst part, but I try and think about it as exercise.
I can beat myself up about people who don't stick with a plan and drop out the class, but they have to want to do it for themselves.
Because the class runs 52 weeks of the year, I can find it hard to get a holiday as I have to arrange cover for all my classes.
There is also paper work to be completed which takes up a bit of my time.

Do you have any hobbies?
I enjoy spending time with my family, socialising and travelling.

Do you have any ambitions?
I would like to climb Ben Nevis and parachute out of a plane.
