Richard Watts - Weightcare's SLIMMER OF THE YEAR 2007!
Super Slimmer Richard lost 10stone in less than a year
I have always loved football and a small group of us decided to form a 5 aside football team. Even though I was overweight I always considered myself to be reasonably fit (or so I thought). When the team shirts were given out mine was the largest possible but even that didn't fit!!

Sue Everitt - SLIMMER OF THE YEAR 2007 2nd PRIZE WINNER
Sue's success has led to a new career
I joined Weightcare after a very embarrassing incident at a football match. As I went to go through the turnstiles I got stuck - people were very rude and were calling me names and I started to cry, I was so upset and ashamed.

George Walton - TOP 10 SLIMMER 2008
George Inspires Others
My story begins in mid 2007, when I was classed by my GP as obese - which to someone who has been fit for a large part of their life became the reality of what I had become and I was shocked....

Sue Williams
Slimmer of the Year 2009 - 3rd PRIZE!
I had been overweight almost all my life. I was a fat child and a fat teenager and can remember dreading PE at school. I was always the one that came last in the races and the one that was last to be picked for team games. When all the other teens were out socialising I sat at home eating!

Becky Smith - TOP 10 SLIMMER 2008

David Lapper
David is totally transformed
I have been a big chap for a long time. Even at school I was the largest in the class. Carrying my excess weight caused me to get out of breath, tired and cranky all the time. When the creaks in my hips became worse I went to the doctors and I had to have a hip replacement.

Suzanne Jones
Slimmer of the Year 2009 - FINALIST
The waist was expanding, the face was getting rounder and the hips were wider and painful. What do I do? DIET!! That’s easier said than done, I can’t say no to a chocolate éclair, but I had to do something.

Hayley Maxfield
Hayley now looks forward to the future
Did I have a weight problem? I told myself no, but deep down inside I knew I did. Every time I bought new clothes I had to buy the next size up, but I kept telling myself I looked OK.

June Parker - TOP 10 SLIMMER 2008
June Is Healthy, Mobile & Feels Fantastic
I’ve been overweight all my life. As a child my brothers and school friends called me fatty. If photographs were ever being taken I was the one standing behind a tree with my head popping round it or I would put someone in front of me to try and hide my body....

Sam Cassidy
SLimmer of the Year 2009 - FINALIST & Winner of the Highest Weight Loss Award!
From the age of about 4 I started to become a chubby child. Throughout school I had to put up with the name calling and bullying that goes with being a bigger girl. All of my friends were thinner than me, so I have always felt uncomfortable and “different” around them; especially changing for PE, it was so embarrassing.

Blanche Briers
Blanche has a new lease of life
I have always been overweight, even as a young child I was bullied and endured lots of awful name calling because of my size. Growing up being fat isn't easy, it always prevented me from living life to the full.

Lorraine Palmer
Slimmer of the Year 2009 - FINALIST
One of the main reasons I chose to slim was after gaining around 3 stones during my pregnancy. After my daughter was born I still ate as if I was eating for two and so the baby weight didn’t disappear and I was still 3 stones heavier.

Louise Wakeford-Davy - TOP 10 SLIMMER 2008
Louise Feels On Top Of The World
For my 40th birthday we took family and friends out for a meal. I wanted something really nice to wear which I eventually found about a week before our night out. It was a lovely blouse which I did think I looked good in – well as good as you can look in a size 26....

Colin Rex
Colin... no longer an XXL
Three years ago I met my fiance Kate and moved to Market Harborough. Our relationship was great but both of us were very concerned about my weight as we didn't want my health to suffer. Kate and her Mum suggested I join Weightcare. However, as a man, I felt too embarrassed to go, but followed the Unit Slimming Plan from home.

Sue Wilkes - TOP 10 SLIMMER 2008
Sue Has Taken Years Off The Way She Thinks & Feels
As a young child aged six or seven I suffered with a weight problem. My friends could eat whatever they wanted – sweets, crisps, cakes, chocolate – but I couldn’t, my weight would just pile on. This would then affect me playing sports at school: I was very self conscious in the changing rooms and did everything to avoid the showers.....

Jackie Freer
Slimmer of the Year 2009 - FINALIST
At work there was a mirror on the wall on the exit to the ladies loo. I got to the stage that I could not look in the mirror because I had grown so large I could not believe the fat woman staring back at me was actually me.

Julie Morrissey
Embarrassment is a thing of the past
It was after an embarrassing incident at a camping and activity weekend that I realised I had to do something about my weight problem. I made a desperate leap for the only large sleeping bag on offer and grabbed it as though I had won the lottery with everyone looking at me. I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me.

Lucy Kendrick - TOP 10 SLIMMER 2008
Lucy Has Gone From Frumpy Mum To Glam Mum
I was 14 and a half stones and feeling miserable. I had just had my daughter and I was convinced that although I had ‘pigged out’ throughout my pregnancy I would be fine as soon as I had given birth. No such luck!! I had never been so big in my life and I hated every minute of it.....

I have always battled with my weight. 25 years ago I thought that I was finally winning the battle after losing a lot of weight. This boosted my confidence and I went on to meet and marry my husband and then have a lovely daughter. Over the years my weight gradually increased and with this my confidence fell, I was once again losing the battle.....

Stacey Gandy
Slimmer of the Year 2009 - SPECIAL AWARD WINNER
For as long as I can remember I have had a weight problem.
I have been bullied throughout my life because of my weight. The kids would pinch my cheeks and call me “chubby cheeks” and “fat pants”. I used to go home in tears. The way I was treated completely destroyed any confidence I had.
