How to lose weight well: Believe in your dreams and you will achieve
HOW to lose weight well is everyone’s goal and one of the key parts of our Slimpod programme is about personal empowerment – giving people back control over their food and lifestyle choices. We base a lot of our system on positive psychology and we encourage people to share their wins.
When you share good things you feel good and you inspire others!
So I thought I’d share some of my big wins this week because I’m very proud of them! I hope they’ll inspire you too!
For many years my dream has been to make a difference to the health of the staff working our National Health Service.
The people who work so hard to keep us healthy and alive are the least able to keep themselves healthy because their working environment makes it so difficult.
It’s not been an easy ride – and I had to really believe in my dream!
However, nearly two years ago it happened and I began working with the Chief Executive and staff at Tameside Hospital in Manchester to help staff lose weight and be healthier.
I’ve loved every minute of it and together we’ve been making a big difference.
A year ago the restaurant became the first hospital restaurant in the UK to go sugar free and it made the news!
Last June the producers of Channel 4’s How to Lose Weight Well asked if they could feature us on their programme. Well! That was a bit of a no-brainer!!
We spent a day filming and we enjoyed every minute of our time with Dr Xand!!
Here’s me being interviewed by Dr Xand for How To Lose Weight Well…
Throughout the 12 weeks the staff had to record their video updates in a Whatsapp group and it was so wonderful getting to know these wonderful people. Their eating habits changed and it was SO lovely to witness the joy and happiness.
The programme was broadcast on Monday evening and I was very nervous about what would make it on to the screen because we weren’t told in advance.
I must admit I was a little disappointed with how little time they gave to the results because we gave them loads of footage. Lovely Dawn, who was featured, felt they could’ve shown more too but I know there’s a limit to how much can be crushed into the show and I’m SO very grateful to Channel 4 for the opportunity.
In case you missed it here’s some pictures and you can see it on the Channel 4 site. It’s in the second half of episode two.
And here’s the real stars of How To Lose Weight Well, some of our lovely Tameside hospital staff…
The TV publicity has attracted tons of people to Slimpod so a very warm welcome if you joined us after watching the programme.
If you didn’t watch the show, here’s where you can see it.
Slimpod’s always in the national press, it seems, and this week saw us pop up in three places.
The Daily Mirror did a lovely piece on how we’ve helped the staff at a hospital to be healthier and happier. You can read the Mirror article here.
The low calorie healthy eating hospital
Then our lovely nurse Laurabeth Ives, who’s lost an amazing amount of weight with Slimpod and looks just sensational, was featured in the Daily Mirror and two other national newspapers.
As a result, I’m so proud that several hospitals have been in touch about the work we’re doing at Tameside and a lot of NHS staff have become part of the community. It warms my heart so much.
So there’s my Win Of The Week! I hope it’s helped inspire you to believe in your goals – because when you believe, you achieve! That’s how to lose weight well.
Tell me more about your dreams and goals by dropping me a comment below.

Boot Camp 2: How to eat to lose fat, by Dale the Medicinal Chef
HI THERE, Boot Campers! I’m so happy you’re taking part in the four week challenge! Following on from last week and the work we did creating our Goalmaps, in week 2 we get down to business! The food!!
Obviously Slimpod motivates us to automatically make healthier food choices, which is key, but I know there’s a lot of confusion about what food is best to help you lose fat.
So this week I thought I’d bring in some expert advice and the Medicinal Chef, Dale Pinnock, is here to help you get a step closer to achieving those goals you created!
Dale has written 14 books and appeared on TV many times so he knows a thing or two about healthy eating!
I asked Dale to join me to help you with your mission towards lasting weight loss and here’s the video:
The link to Dale’s programme is here and if you insert the code SLIMPOD you’ll get a 15 per cent discount.
So let’s put Dale’s advice into practice over the next few weeks and build some healthy habits!
Use food to our advantage, whether it’s for weight loss, wellbeing or general health. Remember you are what you eat.
How to eat to lose fat
So for the next three weeks I would like you to focus on loving your body – and I mean really loving it!
Imagine it’s your most prized possession, something you worship and care about.
You could even imagine your body is a six-month-old baby – how careful would you be about what went in its mouth?
Healthy eating means cutting refined carbs!
Here’s the task! For the next 21 days, I’d really like you consciously be aware of the refined carbs and processed food you’re eating and gently cut them down.
This means cake, biscuits, white bread, chocolate, white pasta and anything that you know in your heart is not worthy of going into your mouth!
Slimpod will be nudging you towards the healthier choices but there’s so much food that looks healthy but really isn’t nutritious or good for you at all!
There’s SO much hidden sugar in processed foods so aim to avoid them. I’m not asking you to give them up completely, all I’m doing is asking you to be a bit more aware of what you’re putting in your shopping trolley and then in your mouth!
I bet you’ll be amazed how easily you can do this and imagine how much good you’ll be doing your body.
Remember, we’re not dieting here. We’re just making a few good changes to your daily eating habits.
One of the main action points for this week is to make sure you eat protein twice a day. Lean meat, fish and eggs are packed with healthy protein.
This is the only thing I’m going to insist on.
So just to recap: It’s really simple. Cut down on the refined carbs! That means less processed food. And pump up the protein!
You’ll naturally be losing interest in most of the sweet stuff and snacks but sometimes we’re fooled by the marketers and we fall prey to the 3 for 2 offers – so beware!!
If you don’t buy them they won’t get into your mouth!
I’m hoping you’ve taken your measurements last week, but if you haven’t do it now!
If you have a tight pair of trousers or a skirt then in three weeks it should be easier to get into.
So there you go! Your Slimpod will support you with your healthy eating and I’d love you to write down your daily wins below or if you’re a member of the Slimpod Community share them with us there.
Here’s to your success!

The art of goal-setting made easy when you’re losing weight
IN my first blog about Boot Camp on Monday I said I had an amazing goal-setting expert to help you create goals that will serve you through 2019 and help you succeed. Brian Mayne is great friend, mentor and a world leader in personal development.
He works with corporates and celebrities worldwide, helping them achieve great things in their lives. In the video below Brian takes you through the process of creating a goal map by using his system – and it’s free!
Brian explains how his unique and exciting goal-setting system works and shows you how easy it is to create your own goal map that you can use to help visualise your goals and help you to lose weight.
Brian and his Goalmapping system helped to change my life many years ago and I still use it all the time so I’m sharing the magic of goal-setting with you today. He explains everything in this video which I’m sure will inspire you and capture your imagination they it did for me when I first met BRian many years ago.
I would REALLY encourage you to spend a few minutes creating your own goal map. Please do take a picture of it and post below or in Slimpod Club if you’re a member of our private group on Facebook. I’d love to see them!
Look out for next Monday’s blog which will star another one of my expert friends, the Medicinal Chef Dale Pinnock.
We’re about to record another video together and in this next one, Dale will be giving you tips on how to eat to lose that excess fat for the last time!
Enjoy!
