The owner of the Route 2 Fitness gym in Devizes is trying to find the town’s own biggest loser to raise money for our Help for Heroes Appeal.

Using the same rules at the TV series Biggest Loser, Jayne Jenkins and her team are looking for eight people with excess pounds to shed in the charity weight loss competition.

The deadline for entries is St Valentine’s Day, February 14, when the selection process will take place.

Mrs Jenkins said: “We hope that family and friends of the contenders as well as the public will donate or sponsor the competition £s for lbs.

In addition, Route 2 Fitness is pledging to donate £3 for every kilogram that is lost. The winner receives a free lifetime membership of the gym.
