An Ammanford weight-loss coach has received recognition for her outstanding service within the community.

Paula Griffiths received her Diamond Coach Award with Weight Watchers on February 21.

The award celebrates a coach's exceptional support to their members during their Weight Watchers journey and is only given to a select group of Weight Watchers experts across the country.

Paula, who has worked for Weight Watchers for 11 years, said: "I am absolutely thrilled to receive this prestigious award for the fourth time.

“I absolutely love my new healthier, happier life and being a part of each individual's weight loss journey."

Paula has lost 8 stone 2 lbs herself to get to her goal weight.

Her start weight was 18 stone 6lbs.

Tracy Jones, a member at Paula's meeting who has lost 56 lbs and is at her goal weight, said: "Paula's classes are fab and inspiring and she was always there to help me reach my goal, 56 lbs lighter and has kept me at Goal for 6 years."

Paula runs six meetings in total, two at Ammanford Pensioners Hall, one at Bro Myrddin Bowls Club and three at Llandybie Public Memorial Hall.
