Ding dong. The door bell rang at Richard Rawle’s house. To Richard’s surprise, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing, Clive Winn, was at his door step carrying a check for $10,000 with his name on it! With eyes wide-opened and a big smile, Richard was happy to receive the reward for his weight loss success of 60 pounds!
“I can’t say enough good about Slim. In 90 days, I was able to lose 38 pounds and in 180 days I lost a total of 60 pounds,” Richard said.
Ten years ago, Richard was in the best shape of his life. At the age of 30, he lifted weights and could slam dunk a basketball. Unfortunately, Richard started having health issues. Breaking his ankle was the beginning of his weight gain. He then fell while horseback riding breaking several ribs and even puncturing his lung.
After these injuries, Richard started to feel depressed and discouraged about his sedentary life and the binge eating episodes began.
“I was slowly eating myself to death. It was the only pleasure I had left in my life. I’d just eat, eat and eat more.”
At 322 pounds, his uncontrollable overeating was a huge problem in his life and he felt hopeless. Everything was about to change when Unicity’s Chairman and CEO Stewart Hughes introduced Bios Life Slim™ to Richard.
“I saw my good friend Stewart Hughes. He had energy and he looked great. I wanted that as well. I saw that it was a possibility because he was proof that it worked.”
He added, “I now have control over my eating and health, when for years I felt completely helpless. I also have lots of energy and my cravings are slim to none. My overall health has improved; my blood pressure has come down to the point where I no longer have to take blood pressure medication.”
“I wish I’d known about Bios Life Slim™ sooner because I wouldn’t have gone all those years being depressed, feeling bad about myself and in poor health.”
Richard and his family are pleased with his transformation, especially his wife, Kirsten. She said, “Richard hasn’t been able to play basketball for so long because of his health. It’s amazing to see him to be able to play ball again and be alive. It’s so neat to see the kids have a chance to see him play like he used to.”
Richard adds, “First of all, I have hope. I have the energy to be actively involved with my children in sports. I’m a better example to my kids of how to live a healthier lifestyle. I eat healthy and yet I don’t limit myself in what I eat, just how much I eat. Bios Life Slim has completely changed my life. It works for me, the worst of binge eaters, so it will work for you also.”

The Get Slim Challenge crew is more than creative when it comes to surprising the 180-day winners. Craig Lott was the lucky one to be surprised during his Bible study group held at a Chinese restaurant in Jackson, Mississippi. Looking at his $10,000 check, Craig put his head down, his hands were pressed over his eyes and he was shaking his head in disbelief. Being a 180-day challenge winner was a dream come true to him.
“Slim has helped me to lose the weight and I feel great! At age 50, I look better than my 23 year-old son,” Craig said while he was flexing his strong arm muscles.
Before Slim, Craig suffered from back pain and after having back surgery he started to gain weight. One day, he ruptured his intervertebral disc and was rushed to the hospital. To his surprise, his doctor also diagnosed him with high blood pressure and advised him to lose his “gut.”
As a truck driver, Craig spends most of his time sitting down and he would eat anything “quick and on the go” while he was on the road. Although he was going to the gym on a regular basis, he wasn’t seeing any results and was ready for a change.
 “Just as I was about to give up, a good friend of mine asked me to try Bios Life Slim™. Not only have I lost a lot of fat in my stomach area but my back feels a lot better,” he said. “My doctor told me that I would never be able to run or jog again, but look at me now full of energy and I can jog four to five miles a day!”
He added, “Before Slim, I felt lazy, tired, and shy due to the lack of confidence. Slim lowered my blood pressure, decreased my back pain. I also feel more confident about myself around people and I even look better than some of the young guys at the gym. My wife and I have been together for 26 years and Slim has put the spark back into our lives too.”
Craig said, “I believe my story will inspire someone else my age who suffers with weight and health problems. I want them to know that you can lose weight and be healthy at any age. I can’t hardly believe that I just turned the big 50 and I look and feel as when I left the army at age 24. If Slim did it for me, it can do it for you.”

START WEIGHT - 265 pounds
END WEIGHT - 223 pounds
LOST - 42 pounds and 20 inches
After clearing off the tennis court from the day before rain, Jeff Reed was all set to start playing a tennis match with his friend James on a sunny Saturday. With the help of Jeff’s wife, Sharon, the Get Slim Challenge crew was ready to surprise him in action. Senior Vice President of Global Marketing, Clive Winn, had the most dangerous assignment—giving a big $5,000 check while a 90-mile per hour ball was being thrown!
“Before Slim, I was pretty much a couch potato. Now my energy level is so much higher and as you can see, I’m able to play tennis again. I play about twice a week. On the other days, when time allows, I either walk or jog a couple miles,” he said.
As a computer programmer by profession, Jeff spends most of his days sitting down in front of a PC. Sedentary and overweight, Jeff was worried about his health especially since he has a family history of heart attacks and diabetes. Weighing 265 pounds, Jeff knew that he needed to change. The new chapter of his life began when Franchise Owner Walter Wilson introduced him to Slim. He lost 42 pounds in the 180-day Challenge!
“I have learned that Slim is not just a diet product, but a lifestyle change. Slim really works and basically helped me to change my lifestyle—from sitting on the couch every day to enjoying life.”
Bios Life Slim™ not only helped Jeff lose weight but also helped him lower his cholesterol levels. Before Slim, Jeff was on statins—a drug to lower cholesterol levels. Even though his doctor increased his dosage, they weren’t seeing the expected results and Jeff was feeling constantly tired. A recent study conducted by the American Heart Association showed that statins lower energy and cause lethargy. And Jeff was complaining about these side effects.
“I was always tired and I had no energy to do anything, and my cholesterol levels were not going down. Statins were not doing the job. I started to take Slim and I went back to the doctor and since then, my cholesterol levels are down and my doctor has taken me off the statins!”
Jeff said Slim has helped him with his confidence. “My confidence level has soared too. I used to avoid mirrors because I was ashamed of all the weight I had gained. Now it’s fun to see how much weight that I have already lost and to image how I will look once I finally lose all of the weight I want to lose. Even at work, I’m more confident and it shows in how I carry myself and how I interact with people.”
He added, “For the longest time, I have dreaded going back to my home town. People back there remember me as a 140-pound high school athlete, not the 265 pounds couch potato that I had become. It was always embarrassing meeting someone that I had not seen for years and having to deal with their reaction from seeing all of the weight I had gained. But this year, I’m looking forward to going and I plan to be there for the first time in a long time thanks to Slim.”

START WEIGHT - 320 pounds
END WEIGHT - 257 pounds
LOST - 63 pounds and 27.5 inches
At age 59, Debbie Lombard was unhappy and exhausted due to her 320 pounds. She decided it was time for a new beginning as she approaches her big 60th birthday. She then joined the Get Slim Challenge to help achieve her goals. With the help of Bios Life Slim™, Debbie lost 63 pounds and received an early birthday gift—a check for $5,000!
“Slim has really helped me to have more energy and motivation. I’m down 63 pounds and I have lost 27.5 inches! I’m sleeping better at night, I no longer feel tired during the day and my attitude is a lot more upbeat,” she said.
When Debbie Lombard was about to get on the plane, she was concerned with one thing— fitting on the plane seat. Debbie is now proud to say that traveling by plane is fun again!
“I just came back from a trip to Washington D.C. and had a roundtrip flight. It was so cool to be able to fasten my seatbelt in a regular seat without a seatbelt extender! Slim is the fat burner that helps release inches. It’s also been fun getting rid of my big “fat clothes” and shopping for sizes that I have not been able to fit in several years!”
It is never too late to change your life and Get Slim winner Debbie is proof of that. At age 59, she is looking better, feeling better and living a better life.
“I’m quicker to get up and do things instead of sitting in front of the TV or computer all night. Slim gives me extra motivation to continue on losing weight.”
Debbie is aiming for more. She is re-joining the challenge to achieve her ideal weight. Nothing can stop Debbie, especially now that she has her confidence back.
“I plan to continue with the Get Slim Challenge until I get down to my goal BMI (body mass index).My co-workers told me that they have seen a major difference! Slim is a good way to get yourself looking great without a lot of extra effort. I know I’m accomplishing something special here and I plan to be the sexiest 60-year-old you’ve ever seen.”
