A SLIMMING programme is returning to Blackburn and Darwen.

Earlier this year residents were asked to take the ‘30 Day Weight Loss Challenge’.

Blackburn with Darwen Council public health and leisure bosses were so encouraged by the take up and success of the scheme, they have decided to run it again.

Sessions will take place today at Darwen Leisure Centre and tomorrow at Blackburn Sports and Leisure Centre.

The course is £15 per person and includes a two hour diet and nutrition workshop offering advice on understanding weight loss and mythbusting.

There will also be full body composition testing with Bodytrax before and after the challenge, regular expert advice, tips and support and prizes.

It is open to all borough residents and workers with a free leisure card.
