Losing weight is one thing. Keeping it off is where most people come unstuck. Ava joined Slimpod in 2020 after decades of Weight Watchers, Slimming World and "I'll start on Monday". Six years on, she's still at her goal weight. In this catch-up, we talk about what's changed. Ava was the person who ate dessert before the meal, who binged all weekend and went "very good" from Monday to Thursday. She was sceptical about listening to something nine minutes a day and thought, "How can that work?" But with a 10-day free trial, she figured there was nothing to lose. What changed wasn't a new set of rules. Her thinking around food shifted, sweets and chocolate gradually gave way to fruit, and she stopped feeling controlled by sugar. In this episode we talk about: Why the Monday-start cycle keeps so many people stuckWhy weight maintenance is a different challenge from weight lossHow Ava eats now, including her "graze bowl", without feeling like she's on a permanent dietWhy enjoying your food and your lifestyle makes maintenance easierWhat diet fatigue feels like after years of trying everythingI'm Sandra Roycroft-Davis, behavioural change specialist and creator of Slimpod. I've spent more than 15 years helping people change the automatic habits behind everyday food choices, because I want people to keep the weight off in a fairly effortless way. Ava is a perfect example of why. 🎧 Try Slimpod FREE for 10 days:https://thinkingslimmer.com/gold-free...📘 Download my FREE weight loss ebook:https://thinkingslimmer.com/get-free-... #WeightMaintenance #SugarCravings #Slimpod #YoYoDieting

Lose it. Put it back on. Start again. Sound familiar? Johanna had done that more times than she can count. A year ago she found Slimpod. Today she's gone from a size 16 to a 10-12, and she's kept it off. Here's the interesting bit. Johanna already knew what to eat. Most of us do. What changed was what felt natural to do. She stopped planning the next meal while eating the current one, the sweets and crisps stopped catching her eye, and "I've blown it" became "I'll start fresh tomorrow." That's the bit most diets miss. They tell you what to do. Slimpod's nine-minute audio is designed to help change what you instinctively want to do, by working on the automatic patterns behind everyday choices. Over time, many people find healthier choices get easier and more natural, and that's what makes them stick. In this conversation, we talk about: What food noise actually feels like, and what happened when it went quiet The supermarket moment after day one Why being kind to yourself gets you further than beating yourself up Heavy weights, dog walks and why consistency beats going all out The goal map and Johanna's three daily wins Want to see what it could do for you?

What happens when you know exactly how to eat healthily… but still can’t switch off the food noise? For Lisa, the biggest change wasn’t about willpower. After starting Slimpod, she says the constant food noise quietened down, evening snacking stopped, and making healthier choices began to feel natural rather than something she had to constantly control. In this episode of The Weight’s Over, Sandra Roycroft-Davis talks with Lisa about her lifelong relationship with food, emotional eating and ingrained habits. Lisa had already studied diet and nutrition, eating psychology and mindful nutrition. She understood food and had the tools, yet she still experienced times when she felt out of control around eating. She shares how things began to change after discovering Slimpod, including: • How her food noise quietened down• Why controlling food used to require so much effort• How evening snacking naturally stopped• The difference between knowing what to eat and changing ingrained habits• Why she now feels more relaxed and in control around food• Her thoughts on food freedom, healthy choices and weight loss injections If you’ve ever wondered why knowing what to eat isn’t always enough to change your eating habits, Lisa’s story offers a fascinating real-life perspective.

What if sustainable weight loss had less to do with following the perfect diet and more to do with changing the way you think about food? In this episode, we hear an incredibly honest Slimpod success story from a member who lost around 20kg over the course of a year without following a restrictive diet. When she joined Slimpod, she was at her heaviest weight and dealing with an incredibly stressful period of life as a full-time carer for her son. She was also struggling with lymphedema and had been unable to exercise. Food had gradually become a way of rewarding and comforting herself. She didn't think of herself as an emotional eater until Slimpod helped her recognise the everyday ways emotional eating had become part of her life. Then something started to change. Rather than constantly thinking about food, calories and what she "shouldn't" eat, she began making different choices almost automatically. Portions became smaller, snacking became less frequent, and she found herself walking away from food she didn't really want without feeling deprived. Most importantly, she learned that weight loss doesn't have to be all-or-nothing. When life changed again, she didn't give up, she adapted. She found new ways to exercise, continued prioritising her health and learned to say no to food when she genuinely didn't want it. This is a powerful conversation about emotional eating, sustainable weight loss, mindset, self-care, and changing your relationship with food rather than going on another diet. How emotional eating can show up in everyday life, not just during obvious moments of crisis Why food can become a reward when you're stressed, overwhelmed, or caring for others How changing your mindset can naturally change your food choices Why sustainable weight loss doesn't require perfection How to keep going when life throws unexpected challenges at you The importance of prioritising yourself and your own health How to overcome FOMO around food and become comfortable saying "no" Why smaller portions and more mindful choices can become effortless How exercise became something to enjoy rather than another all-or-nothing challenge Why creating lasting change is about learning to adapt rather than starting again every Monday One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that sustainable weight loss isn't about being on a diet forever. It's about developing a different relationship with food and building habits that can fit around real life. If you've ever felt that diets work for a while but aren't something you can realistically maintain, this episode is a reminder that lasting change can happen when you stop trying to be perfect and start changing the way you think.

Lydia shares how the motivation to move went from hit-and-miss to waking up excited to exercise every single day.

In this deeply honest episode, Sandra Roycroft-Davis talks with Rebecca, who turned to weight loss injections after back surgery and years of emotional eating, only to find the weight returned the moment she stopped. Rebecca opens up about a relationship with food that goes right back to childhood, secret eating, and using food for comfort through both the hard times and the happy ones. After trying Mounjaro and Wegovy, Rebecca discovered Slimpod, came off the injections a few weeks in, and finally started feeling better in herself. She shares how Slimpod is helping her understand her emotional eating rather than just silencing her appetite, why she's given up the scales, and how she's found her people in our community.

What if your cravings could just fade away, no willpower required? In this episode, Sandra Roycroft-Davis chats with Sharon, who's gone from a size 20 to a size 12 in her first year with Slimpod.

Within days of starting, that pull faded, and there's now a box of chocolates sitting untouched in her cupboard since Christmas! Sharon shares how her "diet head" disappeared, why she enjoys a slice of cake without guilt, and how she finally feels comfortable in her own body after 20 years of yo-yo dieting. She also opens up about why she chose Slimpod over weight-loss injections, and why she's so glad she did.

What if you could lose weight, keep it off, and finally quieten the constant food noise in your head, all without dieting? In this episode, Sandra Roycroft-Davis chats with Lisa, who went from a size 16 to a size 8 in around six months with Slimpod, and has kept it off for a year and a half without even trying. After 20 years of yo-yo dieting, Lisa knew every group, every points system and every up-and-down emotion that comes with the scales. She'd celebrate a loss with a bar of chocolate and commiserate a gain with one too, and found herself sneaking downstairs in the night for Kit Kats. Then she found Slimpod, threw her scales out on day one, picked up the ribbon method instead, and everything began to change. In this warm, honest conversation, Lisa shares how her food noise faded within the first 12 weeks, why chocolate stopped being the enemy, how she went from being terrified of exercise to running three times a week, and how healthy eating became effortless rather than a daily battle. If you've ever felt trapped on the diet rollercoaster, Lisa's story is proof there's a kinder, more lasting way. What you'll learn in this episode: Why dieting keeps you stuck on an emotional rollercoaster, and what to do instead. What "food noise" really is and how it can quieten on its own. Why ditching the scales and using the ribbon method can transform your progress. How your relationship with food changes from the inside out. Why exercise becomes something you want to do, not something you dread. Lisa's biggest tip for anyone who feels like they're wobbling.Contact us: Email: ⁠[email protected] Instagram: @‌Sandraroycroftdavis Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thinkingslimmer.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Hit subscribe for more inspiring real-life transformations Leave a review or share this with someone; sharing helps others experience life-changing results!
