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.

In this episode, Sandra speaks with Lucy, who joined Slimpod after a moment of realisation when she no longer recognised herself in the mirror and felt completely out of control.
