Jason Howarth, who joined the group in January, had a starting weight of 20st 8lb and has lost more than 5st 8lb.
Slimming World consultant Marisa Bannan, who runs the group, said: “Even though men tend to be more nervous when they first join, they are actually some of the most successful slimmers.
“A slimming club might be thought of as a woman’s world. But it’s great we’re able to celebrate this milestone and, without doubt, all of these men have improved their health.”
Dave Fearon and Ian Eddleston both lost more than three stone each, hitting their targets and Ian Catlow lost nearly three stone.
