Slimming & Health

As a 24 year old who constantly struggles with her weight, it is not very cool to be seen in the newsagent buying slimming magazines! Slimming, however is different. It's glossy, and has young as well as older people on the cover. I never have to try to hide it under a more trendy magazine. Slimming is packed full of diet advice, menu plans, health advice and beauty tips, the list is endless. Slimming is the only magazine of its type that I have read which realises that people like to eat chocolate and junk food. In the May 2001 issue it includes the sweet tooth diet for those of us who just have to have something sweet every day. The title which appealed to ...  Read the complete review

Whoopee!! What a feeling of deja vu! I went to get some more of my summery clothes out and lo and behold, had that same feeling as last year! Yep, they're a little too tight, well a lot tight to be honest. And you know I did do an op on losing weight last year and guess what? I did do so, quite a bit actually, but over the past few months some has crept back on, see, I lay my soul open for you lot, give you all a peek!

Of course I could do what Alan, the other half does, which is eat only ...  Read the complete review

As someone who struggles incessantly with my weight and has a wardrobe full of garments I will 'get back into' *one* day, I buy Slimming every couple of months (each time I start a new diet). This magazine is full of great features, real life slimming stories, calorie counts, recipes, psychology articles, readers letters etc. Full to the brim with incentive to slim. What are most useful are the real life success stories, which provide plenty of before and after photos so you can actually see how the people have shrunk, along with their slimming stories. All very well but *I* don't seem to be able to do it now I'm 40!!! I used to be able ...  Read the complete review

I used to be a member of slimming clubs and i achieved my goal weight. I felt and looked amazing, the diet was easy and my "teacher" very supporting. Then i became pregnant and the weight piled on again. I had to leave the club because they didnt accept pregnant women at that time. Now i have had another baby and felt ready to rejoin but was shocked to find that only a handful of clubs have been allowed to run. The majority have been shut down. So i resulted in buying the magazine. Infact i have subscribed with emagazines.com. Its not as easy as going along to class but having such a good magazine to help and support me, im finding encouragement ...  Read the complete review
