You asked us some more questions, we answered! And there were so many, this became our longest episode yet...

Another apology: this episode contains a terrible welsh impersonation, some coughing and childish references to dogging.

As always, continue to send Anna and Clare your comments and questions on email [email protected] or via Instagram @slimmingworldpodcast

Love to all our listeners whether rocking the Slimming World plan on your own, online or in group. We believe in you!

Everyone talks about before and after, but no one mentions the stuff in-between. Why? Isn't that where all the growth is and lessons are really learnt?

If you feel like you're wavering in your weight loss journey right now, then this could be the antidote you need.

Pop on your trainers, grab your headphones and take a 30 minute walk with Clare as she discusses the importance of loving the journey, not just the destination. Relevant whether you're new to Slimming World, or near target.

Questions and ponderings can be sent to us on [email protected] or at Insta @slimmingworldpodcast, where you'll also find pictures of Clare's walk too!

On the weeks when the weight loss doesn't happen, how do you measure your success? 

We've all had those moments. Where we've worked our arses off, and the scales don't seem to reflect it. So how do you learn to think big picture and notice all the small things that are great but don't get shiny stickers and certificates at Slimming World?

Whether losing inches, tightening watch straps or losing your knickers (as in Anna's case!), make sure you learn to celebrate all the tiny successes that ensue along your journey.

Presented by Anna Mangan and Clare Freeman. Produced by ASFB Productions.
