To Gerard and the team,
Thank you so much for the amazing experience and journey (so far). So many things have fallen into place for me since starting this programme.

I am (just over) 2 stone down with another 6-10 pounds to go to my ‘Beyond my wildest dreams- ever’ goal. It has been over 25 years since I was the weight I am now but had put on over 1.5 stone in the last 2 years! … Supported by my ‘sh1tty’ stories!
But the last 10 weeks have shown me how to get over myself and get the job done!

Due to medical issues, I wasn’t able to partake in the walking with any level of consistency or confidence but I did what I could. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. I have a scheduled spine operation shortly, and I have no doubt the lost weight will help towards my recovery from that. So 🤞 I hope to be back on the road to a full recovery within 4-6 months. And now I know that I can keep the weight off, and if I do gain some weight I know how to get back on track again. So a very big thank you all for that.

My daughter is getting married next Autumn. So my plan is to recover from the op, do as I am told for rehab/ physio, and then come back to my second bout of BodySlims in April 2025 to get myself fit and raring to go for the big event - ready to bop the night away and leave those young ones for dead 😜.

Between now and then - I wish you all the very best. Enjoy life - believe me it is too short to waste. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Aladin here, from Canada.

i started this journey firmly in the superbad category. So now round two is over, and round three is booked for September. Two stone or so to go to reach 100 lbs by Christmas!

I want to tell you a story, if I may.

I went to the doctor yesterday. He said, “I have a requisition here to put you on insulin injections this visit, because the pills I had you on weren't getting the job done. But I have your last two blood tests here, so…” He tore up the requisition, and continued, “and stop wasting money on those jabby blood test strips, you don’t need those any more, either. As far as I’m concerned, you no longer have diabetes.” Six months ago I was on 4 metformin and 2 glicazide per day.

I also no longer have a couple of other things:

1. I no longer have Sleep Apnea - the “Darth Vader” sleeping machine is packed up and donated.

2. I no longer have High blood pressure - it’s normal now, from dangerously high levels just six months ago.

3. I no longer have “x”s on my shirts - I started this program two rounds ago with three of ‘em - XXXL. Today, I tried on a large and bought it!

4. And lastly, I no longer have clothes. There aren’t any left. There will be a lot of well-dressed large diabetics once they distribute all the clothes I gave them.

I've said before that "Body Slims" is a misnomer. The slim(mer) body is almost a side effect of the program, it’s real value is in the head. Ger really knows what he’s doing and his words resonate in the head months after he says them.

At 60 I was waiting to die. At 61 this summer, I’m more alive than I can ever remember being. I cannot recommend this program enough!

It's worth noting that it doesn't use supplements or any surprise (and expensive) add-ons. Listen to Ger and do what he says. It's simple (though not always easy!)

So, thanks from the bottom of my healthier and rejuvenated heart.

Over the last two years, I completed five BodySlims programmes. The first three were for weight loss and I reached my “Dare to Dream” goal weight (to be in the healthy BMI range) in July 2023, a year to the day from signing up. In 2024, I went on to do two more programmes, establishing great maintenance habits and improving my fitness.

In total, I lost 70 lbs (or 32 kg) going from a UK size 18 to a size 10, and I feel brilliant.

By getting to goal, the clock has been turned back decades. Each day I am incredibly grateful to have recovered from all sorts of health niggles, to be fitter than before, and have my energy and confidence back.

Through Ger’s awesome seminars I learnt about mental health, habits, goals, consistency and so much more. I threw myself into each programme 100% and did everything recommended to the best of my ability. Ger’s no-nonsense advice resonated, and his phrases have stuck.

Having kept the weight off for a year, I feel confident and competent in both the recommended maintenance plans. I also do the Sam and Sean exercises most days. As Ger says, we get to pick how we want to look and feel predicated on the action we take.

I thoroughly recommend this programme and I'm so thankful that I've resolved my weightloss issues after years and years of struggling.

This is the most incredible weight loss program I have ever been on. I am currently at 160 pounds and a normal BMI for the first time in a decade! When I did the first round of BodySlims in September 2023, I averaged 2 pounds a week of weight loss... 4 times more than doing it on my own! In total, I lost 60 pounds in a year through 3 cycles of BodySlims. I thought I knew how to lose weight having done so many different programs, read all the books, and even have a PhD in Public Health. BodySlims took it to a whole new and brilliant level. I feel amazing.

Additionally, I've had multiple people sign up based on seeing my results. This includes my husband who lost 30 pounds with one round in January 2024. He will be joining me again for the September 2024 program so that we can continue our weight loss journeys and hit our Dare to Dream weights. 

The program has been incredibly flexible and easy to adapt to different circumstances. We travel full time with no steady home base. We’ve done the program across 3 continents, sometimes not having a kitchen, and having to figure out availability of supplies in various countries. The program itself is simple in that you have a calorie limit and walk an hour a day, both of which can be accomplished anywhere. However, the real brilliance of the program is how it shifted our mindset and our habits around eating.

I am so grateful for Bodyslims and the incredible work they do. It has changed our lives.

Hi Ger & Carla, thanks so much for a great inspiring 10 weeks I needed something or someone to help me on my weight loss journey. I am now back to my happy weight which I am so delighted with,
Thanks so much for everything,
Edel Morgan Adare

A big thank you to Gerard and all the team for keeping a good eye on us over the last ten weeks !
My daughter and I did bodyslims together and we had good fun. I celebrated my 80th birthday y'day
And felt marvellous !! I don't have a photo for you but I appreciate all the back-up and encouragement
from you and the team over the ten weeks.

This works! Its like magic if you follow plan and not some version.
I have done them all and this is the only one i recommend. Looks at head, diet and exercise not just one aspect. Best money i ever spent!

Did 2 rounds of this and it worked a treat. The habits it teaches you really stick and have helped me to maintain my weight loss in addition to losing the weight to begin with. Unlike with other weight loss programmes I didn’t feel like I was going around in circles, losing one week, gaining the next; or worse, losing weight, and then regaining some or all of what I’d already lost, stuck in a cycle of yo yo dieting.

Programme is based on science and psychology and usefully relies on some core AA principles which apply to all areas of life. I also found the programme motivational in terms of applying the learning to other areas of life. It is also very confidence building.

Excellent and clear program. Has improved my health and self-confidence.

Wihouf a doubt, the best weightloss program for getting your head right, which then makes the rest of it easy.

It makes absolute sense and if you 100% commit to it, you will gave phenomenal success.

Have read some of the bad reviews on here and my guess is that those individuals didn't fully commit and didn't get Gerards sense of humour.

The diet side of it is balanced and nutritious, so for people to say it's unhealthy is not true. They say he shames people, no he doesn't, he points out why people have failed in the past. In fact he motivates people to show they are with the effort, and effort will bring them their results.

My sister and many of my friends have done the program and all had exceptional results. Put in the work, stick to the plan and you too will.

I am forever grateful to the bodyslims team and have signed up again for Sept 24 program as I didn't quiet hit my dare to dream but will on my second cycle xx

Look, I lost wait with Bodyslims and it can work. But I wouldn't really recommend it. The program is 3 things. 1- calorie counting, pretty much everyone I know who did it was on 1200 calories, which is insanely low! 2- you are required to walk 1 hour every single day 3- there's a short morning and evening video from Ger, and a weekly seminar on Wednesdays.

The diet: 1200 calories is so ridiculously low, it's not necessary to go that low to lose weight for the majority of people, there's no diet plan or help, just, eat this many calories. There is a 3 for 2 diet, which basically gives you a couple basic options per meal, but it's nothing to write home about and will get you to only about 900 calories per day.
The walking: an hour walk is great and enjoyable but also for most people not sustainable.
The videos and talks: so first of all, they reuse the seminar videos on every program, there is a rotation of 3 program videos that are reused, the company is very successful, the least they could do is rerecord the videos. The seminars are incredible long 2-3 hours per week, they could re record these and make them shorter.
There is definitely some GOOD information in the seminars, but it's about 5% max 10% of the seminars, the rest is nonsense rambling from a man who's never struggled with his weight. I find him totally not genuine or likeable. The seminars are based on Alcoholics Anonymous, mindfulness meditation, some basic psychology, but nothing you won't find elsewhere.

If you are interested, go to YouTube, check Gers long seminar videos, watch them, if they resonate with you, try the program, but don't expect any miracles. If you are unable to stick to strict calorie counting and walking, the program won't work.
I did 3 programs because we did them with friends together.

If you can stick to strict calorie counting and walking daily, I'd recommend doing that for 10 weeks while reading some good books about weight loss, habits, trauma and habits etc.

Lost 5 stone over 2 programmes and have gone on to maintain that myself for 5 months now and have progressed my exercise routine to include weights, cardio etc all due to the change in mindset and intervention of this programme. Yes it's hard hitting, bluntly realistic and challenges your perceptions of yourself at times but it's also a step by step guide to successfully lose weight, change your mindset and live a full life. If you're easily "annoyed" by anecdotes and length of seminars or are easily offended and can't laugh at yourself then perhaps this programme is not for you.... Letting those "reasons" stand in the way of a happier life suggests to me a whinger looking for excuses. Don't listen to the whingers. If you're ready to be guided to a successful intervention surrender and win!! It feels amazing on the other side!!!

This program works. You have to do the work for 10 weeks, no excuses.

I did the Sept 2023 program. I hadn't a lot to lose but managed to lose 18lbs. Signed up for the April 2024 program and lost 7lbs. The seminars were nearly the exact same but seemed longer. I stuck with it but didn't enjoy it as much and got bored listening to the lengthy talks. Bodyslims works if you're prepared to set aside the time and effort. I'm commuting to and from work 3 hrs a day and in a stressful job and I'd have to try and fit my 1hrs walk in at either 5am or 9pm at night. I've managed to keep the weight off with everything I've learned but it takes a lot of discipline to stay under 1200kcal a day. The App needs to be updated and the seminars need to be shorter. People need to take accountability though and stop making excuses, we all have things going on in our lives, if you really want to lose the weight and you follow the program, then yes it works and is great and I've learned so much from it

After trying everything possible to lose weight I gave BodySlims a try and finally found RESULTS. Affordable and very positive. The reviews on the website are real people and I will be posting mine once I reach my desired weight. I have lost 65 lbs so far. I 100% HIGHLY recommend this program!!

Could not rate this programme highly enough !!! Lost 3 stone 10 lbs gradually over two sessions I. Preparation for my sons wedding this October ! I am now in maintenance and doing great . Feel amazing , have got my confidence back and am sure that I won’t go back to my former ways . Ger and his team will be the answer to all your prayers IF you are prepared to listen to the process . It’s not rocket science - but I have tried everything else and this WORKS! At 56 I am ready to start living my life again and am so excited thanks to BodySlims .

I have been working with BodySlims to help me loose weight, the surprising thing is, it helped me in so many more ways.
Getting me fitter with walking, valuing myself and reconnecting with myself. Great bunch of people the team really do care. Gerard & Sharon are amazing. The online support groups really push you forward 😊Thank you so much on helping me achieve so much for myself, and the family benefited too. 😊👏👏

EDIT: As other reviews have mentioned, there is a cultish Facebook support group of people doing the program, and they have recently seen the recent negative reviews, including mine, and rallied people to leave positive ones to inflate the score here, so keep that in mind when you see more positive than negative reviews calling people like me who leave negative reviews 'whingers' in their glowing reviews. Some of them have seen my review and assumed I didn't finish or follow the program correctly, which is untrue. I made sincere efforts to follow the program and did complete the 10 weeks. I was able to lose some weight, but it wasn't worth it and I still do not recommend BS.

I did the January program, and I would warn people off it based on the reason that this is not as healthy a program for your mental well-being as it purports itself to be. The program starts out encouraging in the first few weeks, then quickly moves into shame-based motivation, which is proven to have the opposite effect on those trying to lose weight. Some examples from the January program: If you're fine with things like being told to look at your (overweight) body naked in the mirror for motivation, being made fun of in 1.5hr rambling seminars (by a man who has never known the struggle of being overweight himself) as a greedy fat person who gorges yourself on donuts which is why it is your fault you are fat and need their program (obviously reasons for overweight are more complex than this), catchphrases that sound like the unhealthy things your boomer mom would say on a diet such as 'nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels,' and having the rug pulled under you in week 8 to go on an even more restrictive diet than what they already have you doing on such low calories, then maybe this is the program for you, but for me, it was more harmful than helpful. I would especially warn anyone away from this program who has a history of experiencing trauma and emotional abuse. You can eat 1400 calories and walk 1hr a day without paying Gerard to shame you one minute and tell you he's proud of you the next.

The guy is obnoxious. His 'seminars' are hard to watch, they are full of gaslighting and weird insults. And of course if you don't get his humour, you're the one with the problem!! Watch his talks on YouTube - he is even rude to the audience! It sets a horrible tone for the program.

I did the BodySlims 10 week programme twice since January 2024 and can honestly say that it has changed my life. I am confident that I will be able to keep my weight loss of over 40 lbs and maintain my new healthy weight because of the simple measures I was given to keep it off.
BodySlims is based only on science and the only exercise required is a one hour walk each day. The calorie allowance is well in the recommended calorie intake by the WHO and if you stick to nutritious foods, take out alcohol and sugars, you will feel full and energized throughout the programme.
I can highly recommend this weight loss programme as I was obese (bmi of 30.6) when I started and am now in the healthy weight range (bmi of 23.5) and it only took me less than 6 month. Every morning I feel grateful and still sometimes can't believe this is the real new me.
