This is not a diet podcast. This is the only podcast that is honest about the struggles of trying to get to target weight. Let serial dieters Katy, Jo and Victoria take you behind closed doors in the village halls and church rooms where they've spent so many of their evenings. Learn the slimming club commandments, take notes of the excuse of the week and find out who is crowned slimmer of the week.
