Manager Sarah Wilson opened new meetings for Slimlines in the Doncaster area in 2007. 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!
Thanks for helping my reach my weight loss goal . I joined in Sept and really enjoy coming to weekly meetings that always have a mixture of sound advice, recipe tips and encouragement , usually delivered with a sense of humour!!
Half the woman she was!!! Tracey stocks has lost a staggering 12 stones, going from a size 32 to a size 10!!
I was feeling really at a low ebb when I joined Slimlines. That what being overweight does to you, you feel unfit, nothing fits you and the more you eat the more miserable you feel!!! I am really proud of myself for losing my weight. Although it has taken me some time not once did Lyn, my Slimlines manager, let me lose my motivation.
yvettes story
Looking at photos from my son's graduation I realised I needed to lose weight. Also while on holiday, the mirrors were full lengh and I didn't like what I saw. The only problem was I knew I couldn't do it by myself.
Mary Kerrigan joined Slimlines in April of this year and has lost nearly 3 stones in weight in 4 months!! She says ‘it was the like playing deal or no deal.'The weeks I lost the weight were like opening the blue box, and the weeks I lost no weight were like opening the red box (disappointing-but play on)'‘After 22 weeks, I now feel in a position to deal.
Shirley joined Slimlines in April of this year and reached her goal weight in September. Say Shirley ‘I was feeling really low and depressed. I had recently lost my husband and was over eating on chocolate, biscuits and literally anything. But as anyone know, it's a viscious circle!!
I have always struggled to keep my weight off and as Ive got older the lbs have started creeping on and I wanted to catch them before they got totally out of control!!!
A big congratulations goes to Eleanor Fullerton from the Stainforth class for maintaining her goal weight for the past 8 months!! Says Lyn the manager 'Eleanor is a person who sticks at her goal weight, comes to the meetings nearly every week, which inspires other members to want to be where she is and is a marvellous member of the class!! I would just like to say well done from all at Slimlines!!
'I cant believe how confident I feel' Claire has lost 3 stones with the Thorne morning Slimlines slimming club.
At about the age of 17 I began putting on the pounds. By the time my wedding came around at age 18 I had ballooned to a size 18!! And by the time I had my first baby at 24 I was 17 stone!! then I had another baby and I was that busy that I never give myself and my ever increasing weight another thought. Until we had a street part for the silver jubilee!! When looking at the photos afterwards I then realised how big I had become.
Maggy McmanusI have lost 75lbs altogether and its only taken me 7 months to lose all that weight!
My before picture was taken when I was 21lbs heavier, feeling sad and uncomfortable.and definately not at my best!! Two month earlier I had just lost my son and as you can imagine I was in bits. i ate more to try and make myself feel better and the result was it made me feel 10 times worse and totally out of control. I knew if i carried on I would really start to balloon as i am only very petite.
Best friends Fiona Wilson and Marie Ridgehill reached their goal weights within 2 weeks of each other!!! Says Fiona "Marie and I decided to join Slimlines to give each other support and encouragement. We both knew if we didn't do something about out weight we would put more and more weight on!!
Ive lost nearly two stone and I cannot believe the difference it has made to my life!
Hi my name is Janet Jackson 61 years young!! Mother of 3, retired after almost 30 years in the catering industry. Post retirement I found myself less active, began to put on a few pounds and after a few looks in the mirror decided action needed to be taken!!
With my first pregnancy I gained 4 stone and thought itwas 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 I had ever been. 
The hardest part of starting a weight loss plan is walking through the door of the room where the slimming class meets. I joined slimlines in may 2006 .I weighed almost 11 stones too much for a 5ft 2ins frame. The first three weeks I followed the one day meal plans until I could recognise the size of portions. I used my calorie scales quite a lot
I have always been a pretty active person but I've always had to watch my weight. I had been putting weight on gradually over a period of time but kept telling myself that now I was sixty I didn't need to bother. Big mistake!! That's the time you need to look after yourself even more. One day while trying my too tight clothes on, I looked in the mirror decided that I was having no more of it.I felt uncomfortable, unfit and old!!!!So I decided to join Slimlines.
found out about Slimlines from my step Mum & decided that enough was enough, I really should do something about my weight. I am 34 years old, 4'11 tall & weighed 10.11lb at my start weight. I was classed as clinically obese & everyday was becoming a struggle for me.
Leanne says ' I cannot believe how totally brilliant i feel! Ive gone down 5 dress sizes and i can actaully see my waist!
New years days 2007, slightly tipsy, breathless and very bloated and uncomfortable. Sound familiar? I caught sight of myself in the mirror and decided that I had lose some weight. So I jumped on the scales and I weighed in at 16st 6lbs!!!
TONI SIMMONITE FROM THORNE HAS GONE FROM A SZ 18 TO 12 Says Toni:-Ive always struggled with my weight since having my 3 children and ive forever been on a diet.
I couldnt believe how much you can eat, still have a free day and still lose weight! My family are so proud of me and I feel fantastic!!
A few years ago I joined a well know slimming club where lyn was working and she helped me get to goal. When lyn left, I went to different classes but it was never the same!! I let my weight slide and stI was feeling really fed up with being overweight . I started to blame everything for not being able to lose weight. Age, slow metabolic rate, not as active etc. but these are excuses we all make when we don't want to face the fact that we overeat and are out of controlarted to putweight back on again!!!
Founder of Slimlines
In April of 2004 I became ill with heart problems and had to finish work. I had worked for 17 years in one of the biggest weight loss organisations in the world so I was absolutely astounded when this happened to me!! 
In April 2006 I reached my 70th birthday. I have always been lucky health wise and have never really had to think much about weight control or fitness . However on reaching my 70th I decided to take a good look at myself and see if I could improve the years I have left (many more I hope !).
Marie Ridgehill joined Slimlined with her friend Fiona Wilson. Says Marie 'My idea of losing weight was skipping meals every other day and sometimes only having a mars bars!!! obviously it never worked and I was piling the pounds on at a rate of knots!!!
Mother and daughter, Joy Surtees and Elaine Harrison were having a double celebration before Christmas as they both achieved their goal weigh together.
I have been dancing from the age of four and it has alwaysd been m first love. Having worked in television and theatre from the age of 9 years , performing is second nature. After working on cruise ships I was starting to miss home so I decided to get a 'normal' job!
I do not know of any other slimming club that look after their members as well as Slimlines and I would just like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you for all your encouragement and enthusiam without which I know I would have lost my weight.
I run a very busy florist shop and found that ,due to the mere fact that I was eating on the run all the time and not eating properly, the pounds started to creep on. I had lost weight and reached my target with Lyn before, when she worked for a big weight loss company and I was thrilled when she started up her own slimming clubs. I have lost 20 lbs in 12 weeks and feel 100% better.
I was always very slim up until I was 16 and was a size 10 but then started to put weight on gradually over a period of 3 years. My boyfriend was really wiry and was always hungry so consequently we were always ordering take aways!!!he stayed stick thin but I started to balloon!!
Cheryl Easen has lost 47lbs using the low carb bank and slim option. Says Cheryl ' I decided to join slimlines after seeing another slimlines member who had lost 3 stone in 3 months and she looked fantastic! She was raving about it so i decided to give it a try.
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. 
I first started to put weight on seriously when I had a car accident at the aged of 19 and broke both of my legs, I went to university the year after and as anyone knows your first year is all party party party which inevitably lead to lots of drinking and takeaways. I ballooned up to 16 ½ stones (231 lbs) over the next 4 years had a really good social life which didn't help and which I wasn't prepared to give up.
I realised I needed to do something about my weight when I couldn't take the dog out for a walk as I got really breathless, my clothes wouldn't fit me and I was feeling low and miserable.I had tried going to other slimming clubs before but i found them to be far too complicated and too much like hard work!!
I joined slimlines in march of this and within 7 weeks I had reached my goal weight. I only needed to lose a stone but felt that if I didn't do something about it I would just get bigger and bigger!!!
My name is Beverley Cruse, I am 36 years old and 5"1. I have no ideas what I weigh as each week at the weigh in I have my eyes closed and don't peek. I started dieting in July 2006 and since then I have lost just over 5 stone.
Having eaten and drunk my fill over the previous year and peaking at a weight i had never been at before I thought i would give Slimlines a try.
I decided to join slimlines to lose 2 ½ stones. I put on a lot of weight which made me very unhappy with my appearance. My clothes would not fit me also I was getting seriously short of breath . I found the Slimlines method, under the very capable Lyn Mulligan, very easy to follow and it suited me very well.
Darren and Eve work together at the Doncaster Free Press.They have lost a total of 7 stone between them,equal to 260 boxes of turkish delight and After eight mints! (see picture).
