Jayne Moran

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.

Lyn Mulligan, founder of Slimlines

I n April of 2004 I became ill with heart problems and had to finish work. At first I lost weight (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.

Katie Mulligan

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!!

Wendy Wilkinson

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.

Shirley Macfarland

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!! The more you overeat the more depressed you become. I knew I had to do something about it and saw an advert in the local newspaper for lyn mulligan’s Slimlines. I had know lyn from going to her when she had worked for someone else and I felt confident that with her I would get the weight off.

Sandra Chapman

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.

Christine Shreeve

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!!!

Claire Leech

'I cant believe how confident I feel' Claire has lost 3 stones with the Thorne morning Slimlines slimming club.

Denise Brown

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.

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.

Cheryl

Before I had children I’d never had a weight problem. 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 I had ever been.

Babs Gaunt

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.

Brian High

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!!!

Dan Willmore

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.

Christine Bridgewood

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.

Francis Audas

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!!!

Heather Wilson

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!!

Nicky Wilson

I 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.

Elaine Brazier

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.

Maureen Teal

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.

Janet Turner

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

Janet Jackson

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!!

Joyce Burton

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 !).

Kathy Winstanley

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!!

Mary Kerrigan

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.

Veronica Underwood

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 put
weight back on again!!!
