The Results Are In: The 1:1 Diet Slimmer Award Winners for 2024

Phew - what a night. Our team have just rocked back to the office after a fabulous night celebrating our amazing slimmers. From inspiring stories - to big moves on the dancefloor, it’s time to debrief. So, grab a cuppa and let’s get to it…

What are The Slimmer Awards?

The Slimmer Awards take place every year, and are an opportunity for us to celebrate the amazing successes of Slimmers and Consultants. 

But last night was extra special because, in honour of our 40th year, we marked the occasion by teaming up with one of the UK’s most famous magazines: Woman’s Own. Not only were they on our awards judging panel, they also asked their readers to vote for this year’s Transformation of the Year category.

When & Where did it take Place?

This year’s Slimmer Awards took place on 5th October 2024. As for location, it wouldn’t have been a celebration without a luxury destination, and that’s why we chose the stunning, lakeside Rutland Hall Hotel. With breathtaking views, opulent accommodations and delectable dining it was perfect.

This Year’s Categories 

This year there’s something for everyone.. 

Woman of the Year

This award is for the woman who’s done it all. Think huge transformation, a life-changing weight loss, and a healthier attitude to food. Not only that, she’s discovered a new zest of life, becoming an inspiration and icon to all those who want to follow in her footsteps. 

Man of the Year

This award is for the man who’s not only lost a life-changing amount of weight, but who’s also discovered a new passion for life, becoming an inspiration and guide to all who’ve followed his journey. From big physical transformation to a new and healthier approach to food, this is our man of the moment. 

Maintainer of the Year

For the ones who’ve lost the weight and kept it off for more than two years.  A story of how you’ve proven time, and time again, that you’ve not only transformed the way you look but the way you live your life too. This award goes to those who recognise that The 1:1 Diet is a lifestyle change, and that only through motivation and dedication you’ll make a transformation that lasts a lifetime. 

Transformation of the Year (Woman’s Own Reader Voted)

This award goes to the person who’s truly overhauled their life. It could be that they’ve found love since losing weight, and are now planning the wedding of their dreams. Or maybe their newly discovered confidence landed them an amazing job, doing something they could’ve only ever imagined before The 1:1 Diet. It’s an award that’s all about celebrating life’s big, and sometimes small, wins. 

The Wellbeing Award

This award is for the person who’s not only changed the way they look, but also embraced wellness and transformed their health. Maybe they’ve been able to reverse your type-2 diabetes, and feel healthier than they have in years. Or is it a more personal story, one where they’ve been able to successfully grow their family after years of fertility issues? Whatever your journey, it’s time to celebrate how much they’ve achieved. 

International Slimmer of the Year Award

This was our chance to look at what our amazing slimmers, from around the world, have achieved. International nominees have already won the category in their own country and now come together to find out who will be the overall International winner.

The winners

Ok, let’s cut to the chase and tell you who won their category!

Woman of the Year - Winner: Marv Young

It all started with a thoughtful gift: a necklace she couldn’t fit around her neck. Living with multiple sclerosis (MS) and menopausal symptoms, Marv knew she had to make a change. Within two weeks of starting The 1:1 Diet, Marv had lost one stone - going on to lose a further six - transforming her relationship with food, enhancing her health and wellbeing, and owning her new moniker the ‘Style Queen’. 

Man of the Year - Winner: Dave Taylor

Struggling with hip and back pain, and reduced mobility, Dave decided to take action and try The 1:1 Diet. Committed and determined, Dave managed to lose a whopping 10 stone in just 8 months. Now confident in his new body, he can wear clothes he enjoys and hardly recognises himself. Not only that, he’s managed to greatly reduce the amount of medicine he needed for high blood pressure and cholesterol. 

Wellbeing Award - Winner: Olivia Hyman

Finding everyday life a struggle, Olivia knew it was time to change. After being recommended The 1:1 Diet by her brother-in-law, Olivia decided to give it ago - and has now lost nearly eight stone! And it’s not just the weight loss, she’s now able to walk with the aid of a rollator for longer lengths of time, and can easily get in and out of her wheelchair - life is now filled with happiness and something Olivia enjoys.  

Transformation Award - Winner: Donna McCaulsky

Too scared to sleep, struggling with various health issues and a dangerously high BMI - Donna knew it was time to make a change. The 1:1 Diet has helped Donna regain control. Now 10 stone lighter, her symptoms have subsided, and she's living a vibrant, healthy life, motivated by a desire to transform her health and embrace wellness.

Maintainer Award - Winner: Lindsay Yates

After her dad was diagnosed with cancer, Lindsay promised him that she’d lose the weight and join him on the Race For Life. In just one week she’d lost 9lbs, and despite a few ups and downs, she went on to reach her target. Lindsay can proudly say that she’s maintained her weightloss for over 7 years, and with her dad now in remission, she’s not about to lose sight of her goal. 

International Award - Winner: David Ludín

David’s story started off tragically, with himself begging for food and eventually bingeing when he did get it. After successfully launching his own business, he decided to make a New Year’s resolution of losing weight and so started his journey with The 1:1 Diet. Thanks to the diet, he’s now regained his vitality and self-esteem, living a healthy and happy life with his family.
