Sarah who works as a nurse said, “ I was so thrilled with my 2 stone weight loss with Slimlines that I decided I wanted to help others to achieve their goal. I have completed the training programme and will be opening my meetings after Easter. I hope to help people to lose weight just in time for their Holidays. I love the Slimlines programme as it is so flexible, especially with the free day!     Slimlines manager Emmy-Jo Mulligan.     Looking back, the weight gain started when i left home and moved in with my boyfriend. we were both very comfortable and that's when i started putting on weight. we love our food and would regularly order takeaways and go out for meals. I also started work at a call centre doing 12 hour shifts. the job was quite monotonous and I looked for to my break which consisted of eating!! snacks, huge lunches, bacon butties etc (the canteen was great!!) And then i would go home to a large cooked teas and a few glass of wine!! Also I didnt get much exercise which didnt help. I went from a size 10 to a 12 then a size 14 and eventually i was looking at a size 16!!! I remember thinking ' i will have to do something about this' and then lo and behold i found out i was pregnant which  gave me another excuse to overeat!!! I have now lost 2 stone and have another 7 lbs to go to get to goal i am absolutely thrilled to get into my size 12s (very comfortably i might add!!) I have now become a Slimlines manager and Im helping other people to lose weight so not only i have i got back into my skinny jeans but Im helping others to do the same!!!     Slimlines manager Cheryl     With my first pregnancy I gained 4 stone and thought it was normal. I did lose the weight quite quickly but then gradually my weight crept back up and before I fell pregnant with my second daughter I was already a stone heavier than id ever been. After my daughter was born in March 2006, I had my 6 week post natal and I weighted 11st 4lb. I decided I had to get back to my pre pregnancy weight, and that’s when I joined Slimlines. I now weigh 9st 6lb and I’m 2lb from my goal weight. I thought it was that great I’m now a manager and hold 4 Slimlines meetings a week. If I can do it anyone can.    Slimlines at work manager, Kerry Howbridge.   We would like to welcome our 'Slimlines at Work' manager Kerry Howbridge. Says Kerry 'I joined Slimlines in 2006 after putting on quite a lot of weight after the birth of my children. I took to the Slimlines programme straight away and found it really easy to follow. I loved the 'free day' idea and I never feel guilty about taking it!!! Also because one of the OPTIONS is calories, due to the fact now every packet. box, bottle etc that you buy in the supermarket has now got the calorie content in bold on the front of the packages, it could'nt be easier!!! The meetings were truly inspirational and the best fun ever!!! The manager was really helpful but didn't pull any punches either!! The programme cuts out all the waffle and gets down to the nitty gritty!!! To lose weight you have to be totally honest with yourself!! i And because I found the diet so easy I wanted to help others to lose their weight too. So I have now become a Manager for Slimlines and am taking my first "At Work' meeting and its brilliant!!! I have still got 2 stone to lose but i have every confidence I can do it. I will weigh in every week as usual with my members, not only to reach my goal weight but to to encourage them to get to theirs too! I would advise anyone who has a weight problem to join Slimlines. Or if you cant get to a meeting you can buy the programme online. Thankyou Slimlines!! KERRY LOST 5 STONE WOULD YOU LIKE A MEETING AT YOUR PLACE OF WORK? CONTACT Lyn Mulligan at info@slimlinesuk.com FOR FURTHER INFORMATION   Lyn Mulligan Founder of Slimlines   In April of 2004 I became ill with heart problems and had to finish work. At first I lost weight (I think this was due to my medication making me feel ill) but as I began to feel better, the pounds started to pile on! I wanted to cram everything into my life (literally) as I thought that I was going to pop my clogs at any minute! In a strange way being ill did me a favour and made me more aware of how precious life is and how we abuse our bodies with overwork and not looking after ourselves.  I have always struggled with my weight but over the past few years it became even harder as I became older and because I didn’t have the discipline of a weigh in I really started to put on the pounds. So I decided to devise my own weight loss programme. I am a very down to earth person so I didn’t want the programme to be difficult to understand. So I made it simple and straightforward. But like I said earlier, I wanted to enjoy my life to the full and be able to go out for meals and still lose weight, hence the ‘free day diet’ (see About page). I opened my first meetings in March 2006 and had my first weigh-in with my members. I cannot run weight loss meetings and tell everyone that I have a brilliant programme that works and be overweight myself!! I have to put my money where my mouth is!!! After the first weigh in I knew I had to knuckle down and get this weight off, not only for myself but for all the members of Slimlines who have put their faith in me. Some weeks I would only lose ½ lb, other weeks 1lb, some weeks I would stay the same. But my philosophy is the take it steady, enjoy your weight loss and enjoy your life!! The majority of my members are knocking off the lbs at a rate of knots!! But each person is different and as you get older it takes a bit longer but believe me you get there in the end. Now I am 20lbs lighter and feel 500% better. I have another 20lbs to go to reach my goal weight. I live each day as it comes, and as long as I am losing weight I don’t mind how long it takes me.         Click for Photo Gallery       To be a member of Slimlines you must be prepared to stay to the meetings. All meetings are half an hour for weigh in and half an hour talk. Don't worry if you are late, you can be weighed in after meetings.
