INSPIRATIONAL dieting guru Rosemary Conley will tell parishioners the story of her success when she visits a Bromsgrove church next week.

The calorie counting queen will be dropping it at the NewSong Community Church in Broad Street, Sidemoor, next Wednesday, May 7.

Rosemary is the country's leading diet and fitness expert, with more than 30 years of experience. Her regime of a low fat, low calorie diet teamed with exercise is used at more than 2,000 weekly classes across the country.

A devout Christian, Rosemary puts her multi-million pound success down to her faith in God.

"While I have enjoyed great success with my books, videos, diet and fitness clubs and magazine, none of it would be achieved without God's help. He gave me the energy and ideas, the opportunities and the humility to realise that what I had achieved was God's own gift," she said.

NewSong's senior minister Peter Billingham is looking forward to an inspirational talk from the pioneer of the famous 'Hip and Thigh Diet'.

"Many people are searching for a change in life, sensing that there must be more to life than just making money or getting through each day. People want life to change and what's intriguing is when someone who seems to have it all, money and success, says that life only makes sense when they find a missing piece of the jigsaw and that piece is God. For many people that is a surprise admission."

The evening will start at 7.30pm and tickets, priced £2, are available from the church.
