Hereford Slimming World consultant wins Diamond Award

Jo Diggle, 50, from Hereford, was invited to a celebration event at Slimming World’s head office in Derbyshire for the third consecutive year.

She achieved Slimming World’s Diamond Award in September this year, adding to the Gold award earned by her group in 2024.

Ms Diggle said: "Attending this event is an achievement for everyone in my Groups – in 2026 alone, they’ve shed an incredible combined total of over 380 stones and the improvements they’ve seen in their health and wellbeing go well beyond the scales, too.

"My members have changed their relationship with food, developed lasting healthy habits like becoming more active, seen dramatic health transformations and found their mental wellbeing and confidence improve too, plus much more."

She runs Slimming World groups at Hereford City Church on Wednesday evenings and Thursday mornings, and has supported 47 members to reach their target weight in the past year.

The award acknowledges her for running one of the best weight loss groups across the UK and Ireland.

Ms Diggle welcomes more than 60 members a month, every month, plus Target members.

During the celebration day, Ms Diggle and other top consultants were given a behind-the-scenes tour of Slimming World’s head office and were greeted by some of the company’s directors.

She said: "It was an absolute honour to be invited to the celebration day again this year and to see my name on the Diamond wall as well as on the Gold wall. 

"It was so special meeting other consultants like me who are working across the UK and Ireland to support people to lose weight and improve their health."

Ms Diggle lost 4st 9.5lbs with Slimming World before becoming a self-employed Consultant.

She has been running the Hereford group for seven years, alongside managing a restaurant and supporting other consultants as a team developer.

Ms Diggle’s groups meet every Wednesday at 5pm and 7pm, and on Thursdays at 7.30am, 9am, and 10.30am at Hereford City Church, HR1 2EP.
