A personal journey that helps you become unstuck

My name is Niamh Dodrill and I am a mother of three young children living on the northside of Dublin. I work as a primary school teacher and love what I do. In the summer of 2018 I was tagged on Facebook about Bodyslims. At that time, I was at my heaviest I had ever been. My self-confidence was at an all-time low.

I am so happy and finally beginning to have the confidence to believe I can do this and change my life for the better.

All I can say for sure is if you follow what Gerard says to do when he says to do it you can't but succeed.

The skills Gerard taught me have been totally transferable to other parts of my life.

The best thing I ever did, it really was a game changer for me.

I made a decision to try BodySlims in January 2020. I can honestly say, it is one of the top two most impactful decisions I've ever made in my life

I came across Bodyslims by accident at the moment in my life that I probably needed it most. Battling with my weight for most of my adult life, with one step forward and two steps back I finally arrived at my 50th birthday in the lockdown summer of 2020 barely able to put one foot in front of another. This was a key moment.

I want everyone to know about BodySlims and how amazing it is....

Yes the starting dream is now first target and we will see where we end up.

I dared to dream and dream I have!

Thanks for the most amazing adventure

I cannot thank Bodyslims enough, not only has my shape changed so has my mind and my relationship with food.

I had heard about Bodyslims from a friend and was really inspired by his amazing transformation so I decided to sign up. The program didn't start for another 9 weeks so I decided I would get a headstart and managed to lose 18lbs. I then started on Bodyslims and I have to say, it was a brilliant program.

So the 10 weeks are up. I’m absolutely delighted with my progress after the 10 weeks. Although it’s only half way in my journey.

I really enjoyed the course and surprised myself at how well I could do after trying for the last 3 years to shift some weight but ended up gaining somehow

This journey is not over for me- I’ve a few more stations to pass through till I reach my destination but for the first time in a very long time I’m on the right train and fully in control.

I’m incredibly proud and happy with the result!

I have now reached the 5 stone since my first BodySlims in January 2019, it has been a joint effort with you guys so my heartfelt thanks!

I am thrilled to have gone from a 16 to a loose 12! This is the lightest I've been in over 30yrs and I'm thrilled! I also feel fit with the walking and I definitely have much more energy. I have lost 38lbs.

I had my "shit" story (as Gerard calls it) of big bones and I used to do a lot of weight lifting and my knee surgery kept me from doing any form of exercise. My wife mentioned she saw a friend of hers on facebook who had lost some weight with Bodyslims and asked me to look at it. Naturally I said "ok, what;s the gimmick, what protein bars/soups/treats/shakes do we have to buy?", as I had tried most of what was out there. Then the simple normal everyday food and walk 1 hour everyday sounded doable.

Dare to Dream is an understatement, as in my wildest dreams I never expected to have succeeded this much. To look and feel this good is a long overdue present I have given to myself.

Thank Gerard for me and I want to say that the improvements from each program (the 3 I did this year) has been brilliant. I've been promoting Bodyslims like mad as people can see it works. Thanks yet again for everything you and Gerard and the rest of the team have done for me.

BodySlims has been so helpful and supportive throughout this extraordinary time. I would not have been able to cope without the great videos and messages from Gerard and The fantastic Bodyslims team!

Bodyslims has changed my life for the better. And as I said it's not just my weight but my mind and the way I see things, and the belief I have in myself. So.....if I can do it anyone can.

I am so delighted with how amazing I feel and I have such a huge gratitude to have heard about the Bodyslims programme and to be lucky to have done it.

Do this for yourself, no-one else, because you are worth it. Believe me when I say this: IF I CAN DO IT SO CAN YOU.

Just been shopping so no better time than now to send you the before and after photos. No problem putting up on Facebook. Thanks again for all the support. It was a sensational feeling buying and putting on the new clothes. It was so strange as when I bought them I was still convinced they wouldn’t fit. When I put them on at home I couldn’t believe it.

Good evening Gerard, I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for this programme! I have been trying to loose my Leaving Cert weight gain for nearly 4 years and in the space of 8 weeks I’m the smallest I’ve ever been! I cannot express how happy I felt being able to buy a size 10 pair of jeans for the first time in 5 years!

Hi Gerard, Thank you for taking the time to get in touch. Although I have never met you, you and your team have been such a significant and inspirational part of my life for the last few weeks. I am thrilled with my weight loss so far and have signed up for your Sept programme to get to my finished destination regarding weight loss.

My good friend and I hadn't seen each other in a few months and decided to catch up for dinner one evening at Xmas time. We decided to meet in a local restaurant for a nice meal. So I arrived first. As I sat there waiting, a familiar woman walked through the front entrance of the restaurant smiling directly at me. It was a bit weird because I didn't know who she was. But she kept staring and smiling back at me. Then I realized...It was Paula She looked so different.

My name is Addrianna Doyle, I live in Naas, Co Kildare. My husband and I own a jewellery design brand, Doyle Design Dublin. I have never been slim, ever. I have spent my entire life overweight struggling with upward only weight increases. I've tried every diet under the sun without any real or lasting success.

Having spent a career in financial services recruiting senior leaders within private banking sector, I wholeheartedly support the Bodyslims team who have supported my transformation.

Hello BodySlims Team, My name is Fintan Flynn and I'm from Ontario Canada, (originally Irish). I've almost finished my first BodySlims ten-week program and so far, I've lost a total of 44.5 lbs in 10 weeks.

Hi there, my name is Derek, originally from Kildare but now living in New York for the last 28 years. Due to work and laziness I suppose, my weight just went up and up and before I knew it, I lost control and I could not see a way back. I had Type 2 diabetes and was on a pill for all the usual suspects, cholesterol and blood pressure. I wore this taking of the pills, like it was a badge of honor and never minded, because if something was wrong you could just get a tablet for it. Then a guardian angel told me about this fella, Gerard Moran and a programme of his,(guardian angel being my sister in law, Joan Casey a Bodyslims veteran).

I have completed my second Bodyslims programme and it is unbelievable as to what a difference 30 pounds has made to my shape!

10 weeks ago my Bodyslims journey started and I lost 34lb and I am finally on the right track so to continue my journey I have signed up for the September Program.

Training twice a day, once before school and once after school between 3 – 4 hours daily, I felt alive, alert, fit, healthy, challenged and always chasing my next personal best. These were the years that ignited my competitive streak..

Hi Gerard I am delighted I took on this challenge, I love the structure of it all. Here are my before and after photos. Thank you so much for everything so far, I'm not finished yet!!! 43lbs down since I started and I'm delighted. See you in September Regards Irene Murphy

This programme is very simple if you do it Gerard’s way. At the start, I had to trust Gerard when he said that it is possible (and I could also look to the Bodyslims legends for inspiration and evidence). The personal success that follows then takes over, motivates and empowers. Gerard’s stories are always in my head and present themselves every time I am faced with a choice. Every moment of every day presents a choice. Good choices lead to good feelings.

It is hard to imagine that anyone was as cynical as I was the first night I walked through the door of Body slims. I had spent a lifetime in the TV and Media industry and had seen and heard every self sustaining quick fix and marketing ploy in the game. Yet something had brought me here; and since there were no instruction or diet sheets, no public weigh in or showboating or self-righteousness pontification, the least I could do was listen.

Hello my name is Paul Redmond, from Wexford and I work as an accountant sitting all day. I have been here many times before losing some weight and gaining weight. I have learned that this is in fact maintenance not weight loss. was introduced to this by a friend who was on the course and he had changed each and every area of his life, not just weight loss. In terms of this program all that I can say is that it works incredibly well and it will change more than weight in your life.

I joined Bodyslims in September 2018. Curious. It took me three weeks to lose my first stone and by week nine I had lost my third stone. Panic. The 10 weeks were nearly over, how was I going to keep this weight off.

Bodyslims programme is amazing! Like so many other people I had tried lots of other slimming programmes with varying degrees of success. I seemed to be a master of self-sabotage and would get so far but no further. I was convinced that I just couldn't do it and that I would never get to a weight and size I was happy with. I had given up hope!

Having been on and off diets since I was 13 years old (with varying degrees of failure) it suffices to say this was not my first weight-loss rodeo. However, what I did not realise before embarking on Bodyslims is that other weight loss programmes are actually weight maintenance programmes and the ensuing down weight one week/up the next is physically and mentally exhausting.

I'm Steve Mulhall and I'm an Office Worker from Walkinstown and all together I've lost 10 stone and I'm down from an xxxl to large. Bodyslims is a 10 week weight loss course like no other it not only changes how you look and feel but also how you think.

I'm Maeve Davidson, I live in Dundrum. I work as a Parish Pastoral Worker;Total weight loss is 8 stone; Sizes dropped from size 22-24 to size 12-14. I came home from holidays in the middle of July 2016 and I weighed 18 st. 11lbs. I didn't feel healthy and decided I had to do something about my weight.

I joined BodySlims in September 2016. I had faced up to the fact that I was not going to achieve any weight loss goal alone. After trying and failing at other programmes I ignored my problem for a very long time.

BUSTIN’ OUT WITH BODYSLIMS. The ramblings which follow are well overdue. I am a quiet man who tries to avoid the limelight but I feel that Bodyslims deserves recognition and perhaps what I say may help someone out there, so here goes. My name is Joe Comerford.

My name is Pat Ryan. I'm from Foxrock and I'm a solicitor. I've lost 4.5 stone over two courses which is a little more than 20% of my starting weight. I'm down from XXL to Large and I've lost 8 inches off my waist. Having heard about the results Bodyslims was getting for people that I knew, I was determined to give it a go and to succeed.

Just a quick word on how I am getting on in my new life - in March 2016 - we as a family decided to climb Bray Head on St. Patricks day. There were 36 of us and I was the last one up the hill. Struggling to breath and in pain.

I'm Therese Hunt from Blackrock and in January 2016 I was out at lunch with a couple of friends, one of whom looked a “million dollars” and I asked her what had she been up to?! She told us all about the Weight Whisperer! That was it

My name is Joan Casey. I live in Stillorgan. I was privileged to be a primary school teacher for thirty years before I joined Hollypark GNS, Foxrock as principal for another eight happy years.I retired in June 2015, sad to be leaving this wonderful school but excited to begin a new phase of my life

My name is Siobhán Hickey. I live in Foxrock and I work in a GP practice. Last summer I knew I had to do something about my escalating weight. I had joined a number of weight loss programmes in the past and was initially successful but eventually ended up putting the weight back on.

The turning point was when I heard two small boys describe me as the “fat lady.” My daughter and I had a look at the Bodyslims website and decided to join up in September 2017. We didn’t know what to expect on the first night, I certainly didn’t think that I would enjoy the experience.

My name is Ann Nolan from Stepaside and I work in Insurance. I've lost approx 4 stone with Bodyslims over 3 courses. I am down from a size 18-20 to a 12-14. I started with Bodyslims after seeing the results that my Aunts and Cousin were getting from the Course.

Hi, I’m Jen Martin, a Project Manager living in Sandyford. Oh my goodness - I can’t believe I’ve got here!!!! I have been talking for YEARS about getting slim enough for summer so I could feel “better” about myself when the weather was warm and (just maybe) I could wear clothes that were not about just covering myself up.

My name is Elaine Willoughby and I'm from Loughlinstown. I started my bodyslims journey in January 2017 and have lost 5.5 stone. When I first started the course I thought if I could lose a couple of stone that would be great.

My name is Alan Millar and I live in Tallaght. I work for a Medical Diagnostics Company (DiaSorin Ire LTD) in the Sandyford Area. I am now Warehouse Team Lead and Security Manager (but this wasn't always the case, see below).

I used the excuse I'v just had a baby' for over a year and a half and at the time I thought that was a reasonable excuse to be the weight I was (to be honest it was just an excuse to make myself feel better).

I'm Kieran Carrick of Foxrock, CEO of CLOUT Partners Ltd my weight lost 59.2 lbs (4 stone 3lb's) in ten weeks sizes dropped 6. I have tried many times over many years to lose weight and get healthy. I learned all about nutrition and the science and psychology but was never able to sustain the effort long enough to make a significant difference and I began to rely on food as an antidote for stress.

I'm Marie Burke living in Blanchardstown and I'm a IT QA Manager weight lost.. 65 lbs or four and a half stone Im down from a size 16/18 to a size 10 Bodyslims is an amazing 10 week programme. Its main focus is on weight loss but I got so so much more than that!

I wholeheartedly recommend the Body Slims programme. Gerard and his team are amazing and it really works. I have been trying to lose weight since I had my first child, who is now 13 years old, so that is a lot of diets and failure. The Body Slims programme teaches you to approach food differently, empowers you to take control and makes you realise your dreams.

The Bodyslims team made the impossible attainable for me and 6 months on I’m still maintaining it. Thanks again, Niamh

Bodyslims is an amazing weight loss programme. It is very different to others. It is a ten week programme. There is a definite time frame in which you will lose weight. Gerard “the weight whisperer” is there with you 100 % of the way. Unlike other programs, he is a motivational speaker, he uses years of research, to motivate people to lose weight

I joined Bodyslims in January 2017 based upon results I’d seen from people in work and mutual friends. To be honest I didn’t have much hope for myself as I’d always struggled with weight loss and sticking to a certain plan.
