Weight Loss Transformation, A Personal Journey to become unstuck.

Hi Gerard and Bodyslims team, Just wanted to send this photo of my week 1 (on the left) and today almost at the end of week 8 (on the right) I was someone who joined not looking to lose a huge amount of weight. I weighed 12.7 stone when I signed up 12.6 by the time the programme started on April 27th. And coming towards the end of week 8 I’m now 11.5

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

This is my 3rd cycle of BodySlims and I’m down 80lbs since the end of September!. I’m finally within normal bmi and haven’t been this weight since high school. I could not be happier and Ger is right in that it feels brilliant and every day I get my present! A huge thank you to Ger, Sharon, Carla, the BodySlims team and the 80 friends doing the program with me and supporting each other!! Life changing and I’m forever grateful!!

I started my journey in September 2022, I was at my lowest, my weight was sky rocketing and my health was seriously deteriorating, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, pre diabetes and a very troublesome gall bladder. Having suffered for years unbeknown to myself with peri menopause I had stared my HRT and was feeling a little more level and able to tackle 'myself'.

My enthusiasm for Bodyslims resulted in me "persuading" seven friends into doing it, they in turn "persuaded" their friends and family with life changing results for all of us. One friend in particular and I have lost over 10 stone just between the two of us - more than I weigh now, imagine that, an entire person. During this year I completed my training to become a family celebrant and had the honour of being asked to marry two fabulous friends of mine (the bride did Bodyslims too) in France.

I've been threatening to write an email for months now, I've only ever shared details with my wife before but given a couple of notable things over the last couple of weeks, she gave me the kick up the backside I needed to get over myself and just send it. I've taken a huge amount of inspiration from other people sharing their progress on testimonials and social media so hopefully this can do the same for someone.

If you want to do 1 small thing for yourself! Do this! If you aren’t sure, do this! This was the first ever time I prioritised myself & my health. I had some serious mum guilt taking 1 hour a day out for myself! Best thing I’ve ever done for myself and now for my family.

My Bodyslims journey began during Christmas 2022 when I met a family member who was looking amazing after completing the September 2022 program. She is my Biran the Bull. I had never heard of Bodyslims so I looked it up and on December 28th 2022 I made the best decision I have ever made for myself which was I signed up to the January program. I have been overweight for the last 20 years and never really got a handle on it, despite trying numerous weight loss plans and exercise plans, they never stuck...or rather I never stuck to them.

I have been struggling for some time with losing some of the weight that I have put on over some years. I was doing some research and stumbled on to your website and read some of the fantastic testimonials. I thought by myself that worse case scenario I might be out of pocket some money but it was worth giving it a go as the testimonials was great.

It’s a pleasure to give my feedback about BodySlims and would be thrilled if I was posted for social media but even more on the testimonials for anyone to read about my personal journey with your program. I believe in it so much and am truly so overjoyed to have found BodySlims. My testimonial really cannot do it justice or the way I feel about it! However, I will give a try because it’s so important to get the word out! You’re doing such wonderful work.

I'm so very grateful to have found your program through close friends (REAL PEOPLE) who challenged themselves to "surrender to win." As mentioned in one of your "unedited you unedited me" talks, I find it difficult to describe the program to others so I guess it's best to show you results.

Well here I am, 3rd course under my belt, a much looser belt than at the start of 2023. What an amazing year I have had. I found out about BS from a parenting forum, the more I read about it the more I knew this would work for me. I spoke to my cousin in New Zealand, who had weight to lose too. She listened to one of Ger's lives and said, yeah I am in.

The length of the seminar's took a while to get used to but very soon became an important part of my weekly routine, the walking has done tremendous positive effect to my mental health, thank you Ger and team I’ll miss your voice ringing in my head going to sleep

Three cycles of BodySlims have helped me lose 101.6 pounds so far, and I am so grateful. I came into BodySlims with significant chronic health issues. I feared my physical limitations would prevent me reaching any of my goals, but @halfofcarla introduced me to BodySlims and inspired me to give it a chance.

I just want to say thank you for the most amazing weight loss programme. I've done EVERY DIET known to man...and have been on a constant diet it feels since a very young age. This is the first time I've lost weight while actually eating normally. I'm feeling fantastic.

This is the effect the BodySlims weight-loss programme has had on me. It has positively impacted on my physical, mental and psychological well-being. Here are the facts: 1) I’ve lost 46 lbs, which is 25% of my start weight; 2) I’ve dropped my BMI from 32 to 24, which is the healthy range for my height; and 3) I could barely walk at the start of the programme due to the pain of moderate osteoarthritis in both knees

I am so glad my GP recommended Bodyslims to me. I was at my lowest point and really struggling to lose even 1lb. 10 weeks in I'm down 20lbs, my husband tagged along on my early walks and took up the challenges and he has lost the same amount. I feel amazing. I've loads of energy and moods are great too.

Was looking at a pic of me last summer and me now.. unbelievable change. If I can inspire one person to join this group and change their own lives it’ll be worth it

Hi Guys, As promised, a before and after photo. BodySlims is a magical journey. It is what dreams are made of. What makes it unique, is that it is only 10 weeks, one day at a time and we can all do that! It also focuses equally on mental and physical fitness.

Hi Ger, Sharon and team, I am delighted to lose 15% of my starting weight. I have lost 25lb in 8 weeks and I honestly have never felt healthier. I started bodyslims this September as some of my family and friends had recently completed it and really recommended I give it a go. We have a whatsapp group and we all try to encourage each other to stay motivated.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Ger, Sharon, Carla and the entire team at BodySlims for the most amazing 10 weeks. I signed up for the Sept. 2023 program, having been inspired by a good friend, who achieved his weight loss goal on the Jan. program.

I am 44 pounds lighter and have far surpassed my “good” weight with my “great” weight. As wonderful as that feels (and it does!) surprisingly by the time I reached the end of my BodySlims journey, I also realized letting go the excess weight was actually not my biggest accomplishment. The information, coaching, strategy, humor and support given by Gerard was about so much more than changing my physical size.

Hi Sharon Just wanted to say thank you so much to Gerard, yourself and the team . I started my journey in January 2023 . After seeing Fran (sole2sole ) on her journey. I have had a health journey started in 2020 with cancer. I finished my last treatment 2 wks ago. I can't tell you what bodyslims has done for me. My health, confidence and belief in myself is on another level. And of course my mental health. I did 2 programs. 1st in January and my 2nd in April. I got to my goal I set for myself at the end of July, 45lbs

I have really enjoyed my Bodyslims journey! When I started, I didn't expect huge results but then as the weeks went by, I 'dared to dream' ! I found the food tracker really good, helping to keep me within my calorie allowance.

I’m finally getting to write this story. I was definitely on the slow train, I started in 2020 extremely overweight and practically immobile. I had gone through a very difficult period where I lost both my parents within 5 months and I could hardly walk with the pain in my legs.

Took the plunge and joined bodyslims in January 2023 as I really needed to lose weight due to severe pain in my knee. (I have Osteoarthritis. You can see how swollen the right knee is on the photo on the left) My doctor recommended Bodyslims, and it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Dress up weekend, Damian below is on it 👍Hi all, I just wanted to say a massive thanks to Ger and all the bodyslims team. I was on the Jan23 program and am delighted by the results. I am down 36lbs in 10 weeks and feel totally different. The weight loss wasn't easy but the process was very simple. In essence just do what ger tells you to do and you will see the results. I still have a bit to go but now travelling in the right direction with some invaluable insights gained.

So I started my Journey on the 22nd September 2021 and I can say 10 months on my life hasn't been better. I finished my last course at the end of March 2022 and since then I have lost a few more pounds and have been able to maintain that over the last few months.

I have done loads of weight-loss programmes before and I was always great for a few weeks but then found reasons to give up! None of them explained that you have to work on your MIND as well as diet and exercise!! I don’t know how you do it Gerard but you put me back in control! You really made me feel the course was just for me and you were my personal coach!! The daily encouragement, the positive whispers, your belief that I could do it!

Just like to thank Gerard, Sharon and all the team. Today, I finished my 10k in 92 mins, bad hip and all. I have struggled with hip dysplasia and bad back for years but hoping this year to bite the bullet and get a new hip. Hardly able to walk after but very happy. 'Victor not Victim' as Gerard said.

Wow what a difference 10 weeks has made to my life, I am 21.8Ibs down and my journey is only beginning, I have loved the Program so much so, I signed up for the 2nd Program on the 3rd week of my 1st. My problem has always been keeping it off, it's hard work, no doubt about it but this time I have said...I am never ever going back, think Gerard is in my head,

I finally did my celebration! It is my second program but I didn't do the first program's celebration. I was really not worth it the first time (in my head). I had lost only 43 pounds, I told myself. You see I started at "super bad": Diabetes, high blood pressure, fatty liver disease, heart palpitations, excessive sweating and above all I was incapable of walking more than a few feet, less than 30 feet.

I have always struggled to lose the significant amount of weight that I needed to lose and to keep it off. To date, with BodySlims guiding me, I have lost 52LBs, dropped 4 dress sizes and feel the best I have felt EVER!! This before photo of me was taken in August 2021, taken by my daughter while on a day out and I was horrified by how I looked, but also by how unfit I was and what message I was sending to my children.

I'm on the slow train...have some ankle and shoulder issues which make exercise a challenge at times and the bigger challenge is my intolerance to many foods including most vegetables and worse still...eggs! But I am working around them as best I can and even managed veg a few times without being too sick so I'll keep trying....but accepted the slow train.

Dear Ger, Sharon and team, This is my progress so far and I am truly grateful for the program. On my third program and since this time last year 53 pounds lighter. 47 pounds on BodySlims Thank you all so much.

Fast forward now to the end of my second course, I lost 37lbs on the first one, behaved over the 3 week break and now I hope to hit my dare to dream weight tomorrow, losing 67lbs in total. I hated photos of myself but the first was taken before Christmas 2022. The last was taken this Monday Jul 3rd in Kildare Village treating myself to new clothes. Thank you!

Never in a million years did I believe I could get 3 stone off in 9 weeks. But here we are 1 week to go and I have done it (Not that I am finished really just getting started). Its amazing how the programme bit by bit changes your mindset and installs new habits that quickly replace the bad habits. Who knew that making lots of small good decisions can amount to a massive result within a few weeks.

Hi Gerard Sharon and the team I just want to to say a big thanks for your support in the last 10 weeks. I have to say an absolute great program highly recommended. I've lost 2 stone 3 and a half pounds in the 10 weeks and am feeling great, thanks again bodyslims

What I love about it is that it covers physical and mental health. When you finish you don’t feel lost at sea, you have been empowered to believe and know that you can continue on your journey with confidence. ​ I now look forward to my daily walk and have so much more energy!

I can honestly say this has been the best investment in myself - both the mental and physical transformation has made me the best version of me EVER! I've gone from a size 18/20 to 8/10 using real food and walking to achieve this result - AMAZING! If you are ready to transform your life, sign up for the next cycle of Bodyslims and see your own results in 10 weeks.

Thank you all so much for the help and encouragement and many laughs over the 10 weeks I will be skipping the next program but I will be continuing to keep up the walking and watching my calories. Included is photo of me in a suit I could only dream of fitting into. (My yellow dress) I’d say Martha is so jealous. I have been spreading the word about bodyslims because everyone is commenting on the new me.

To everyone at Body Slims This has been the best thing I’ve ever done for myself both physically and mentally. I’m in such a happier/better place not only because I’ve lost weight but because I did this for myself. I put bodyslims at the front of my mind everyday and I’m really proud of myself for that. 2 cycles down and only 5lbs off my dare to dream weight!!

Hi guys, best greeting this time from Udine. I saw a statue and thought of Gerard’s talk. Seeing the best in everyone is such a gift: thank you for it. Also it’s true: I’ve gone from this pink sweater in my first day of cycle one in April 2022 to this sportstop in June 2023

Hello, Ger and BodySlims team! I was introduced to the BodySlims program by my friend, Karen Bowman, who shared her experience with the program she started in September 2022. Her results have been incredible! I was so inspired by her that I signed up for the January 2023 program. It has been exactly the motivation I needed to actually DO the work to finally lose the weight I've been trying to get off FOR YEARS!!! It's not like I haven't known what to do: eat less/exercise more. I just actually never DID it consistently. The mental fitness part of this program and all the daily touch points has been the key to success for me.

Hi Sharon, I really appreciate everything you, Gerard & all the team have done for me. My weight loss journey started with my first round of Bodyslims in September 2021 & now 3 courses later I have lost 42lbs (3 stone).

I have always had a difficult relationship with food but it was only after the birth of my son in 2011 that I put on a significant amount of weigh. I spent years yoyo dieting with a lot of negative self-talk to top it off. I always said "when I lose weight", "I will start Monday", "I'm going to doing this plan". Each attempt failed with the same excuses, as they always did.

Here are my before and after photos. I started my bodyslims journey on the 18th of January 2023 and completed 2 programmes I am now down 54 pounds near the 4 Stone mark. I dared to dream and my dreams have come true I am now down to a size 8 to 10 and have hit my target weight and more. its so true when you feel great you don't want to let it go.

Hello again Gerard, Sharon and the Bodyslims team! Having previously shown you my progress just 8 weeks into the programme (on the April - July ‘22 programme, when I had lost 16.8lbs) I signed up again this January and I have now lost a total of 29lbs.

Here is my story - I have been overweight nearly all my adult life. August 2021 was the lowest point for me. I was at my heaviest ever and I didn’t realise how unhappy I was. It was my son’s confirmation. I had bought a lovely dress, but it didn’t fit me (it wouldn’t even go over my legs). I had to go to my wardrobe to see what I could wear but nothing fitted me. I remember looking in the mirror that day and saying to myself I will NEVER, EVER feel like this again. I needed to do something; something had to change. I had a friend who was doing body slims and she was doing exceptionally well, she was inspirational, she had mentioned it to me earlier in the year, but I dismissed it. So, then I started looking into Bodyslims and thought what have I got to lose and the answer was nothing (except all this weight).

I've just completed my 3rd Session with BS as you can see I'm a different person today. September 21 was my first sesion, it came at a perfect time for me - I was at my heaviest but also at my lowest mentaly and physically - I needed something to turn my life around - Here I am 9 months later and 80lbs down - still on the journey but reaping the benefits every day.

I signed up for BodySlims and for the 3 weeks before I was going to cancel. I kept telling myself I didn’t have that much to loose, I could do it myself, boy am I glad I didn’t. My journey has been life changing not only for the weight loss but the difference it has made to my mental health and the way I look at food. 23lb down Thank you Ger and BodySlims

After having 7 babies in 12 years I had put on and taken off the same 50lbs over and over. After my 7th baby, I was at my highest weight and I had to do something. I found Bodyslims through “Half of Carla” on YouTube and signed up right away. I am now down 30lbs!! Because of Gerard, I now have the motivation and confidence to lose the rest of this baby weight!

I have battled with my weight for about 15 years and this is the first program that I have committed to 100% and have consistently lost each week. I have learnt so much about myself, this has been such an amazing journey for me not only with the weight loss but also the positive impact on my everyday life. I have signed up for the September course to lose the last 10lbs, add in the exercises and get into the maintenance zone under Ger's watchful eye!

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.

Thanks for the most amazing adventure

I wanted to share my experience doing Bodyslims. Before Bodyslims I felt completely lost as to how to begin to tackle my weight. My friend (aka "my Brian") told me about Bodyslims and I could see she was doing brilliantly! Around the same time my sister also told me about her friend on BS, so i took that as my sign to do it- a glimmer of hope that it might just work for me......and boy did it work!

I’m only half way to my target. But I’d reason to dress up last weekend as I was away. Therefore please see my before & after pics attached. First is from August when I was over 11 stone. The other is from last weekend when I’m just under 10 stone.

I started this journey September 2021 and I dared to dream....over 1 year later.....December 2022....I've maintained my 6 stone loss (84lbs) . How amazing is that!!!! Bodyslims has given me so much it's changed my life in so many ways.

I started at 189 pounds in January and I am now down to 149 pounds against all the odds. During my first program I was recovering from a broken wrist which I sustained from a fall off my bike at speed. My wrist was broken in three place, one of which is not healing. I had to have surgery for one of the other breaks and intensive physio. But my point is; I did the best I could during the first program and I had my arm in a sling while walking to help with the pain. I also had two molar teeth out as I had a cyst in one which was getting bigger and affecting nerves on my face and I got dry socket in the other. Nightmare.

What a fantastic journey I’ve been on since April this year, I’ve just completed my second cycle of Bodyslims and I’m now 33 pounds down and just 10 pounds away from my “Dare to Dream” weight. I’ve gone from 169 pounds to 136 pounds, a big weight loss for a short person, but much more importantly I’ve lost a massive weight off my mind. My mental fitness is the best change from this program, the rest is a bonus! Thanks to Ger, Sharon, Carla and all the team for your amazing work. Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re changing peoples lives and helping them bring their best versions back!
