Podcasts about Slimming World

  As we head towards December, today's episode leans into something many of us are feeling right now: that pull toward more — more deals, more shopping, more pressure, more to-do lists. And yet, beneath all of that, what most of us actually want is much simpler… we want ease. In this episode, I'm talking about the emotional side of Black Friday season, why clutter and chaos in our surroundings often mirror what's happening in our minds, and how easy it is to slip into old habits when life feels heavy. I'm also sharing some very personal updates about my dad's health, the anger I've had to process, and the steps I've taken to protect my own wellbeing during an incredibly stressful few weeks. I've created something new to support anyone who feels mentally overloaded, unfocused, stuck, or simply tired of carrying everything alone: Ease Your Mind — a gentle, simple introduction to hypnosis, with the first three modules completely free. https://www.claireoldhamwest.com/Ease-your-mind It's designed to help you switch off, calm the noise, settle your emotions and finally feel that sense of mental space you've been craving. If you've ever said: “My head's not in it.” “I want to lose weight but I can't focus.” “Stress keeps throwing me off track.” “I don't sleep well and the cravings hit hard.” …this episode is for you. Get the first 3 modules of “Ease Your Mind” mini-course now for FREE https://www.claireoldhamwest.com/Ease-your-mind  

After a nasty fall in the garden and a looming operation with added risk due to weight, sleep apnoea and breathing issues, Stephen made a decision. With a nudge from his wife, he walked into our local Slimming World group at 25st 4lb—and everything started to shift. In this chat we cover the real stuff: losing identity after giving up rugby, the stop–start attempts, the “still think fat” moments even as the clothes sizes drop, and the power of a room that claps for your wins (and your wobbles). This is a first for Slimming Stories, I met Stephen at my local Slimming World Group that Wray Annabel had inherited from Sue Redfern, both amazing Slimming World Consultants. Stephen talks about the support he's felt and why weekly accountability beat “I'll do it myself” plans. If you've tried to get back on plan before, drifted, and need a simple proof that consistency + community works. If you've ever felt “I still look the same” while everyone else notices your progress—this one's for you. Timestamps: 00:01:10 The fall that changed everything: shattered shoulder & surgery risks 00:02:20 Sleep apnoea, anaesthetic concerns & his wife's life-saving nudge 00:03:30 Walking into Slimming World for the first time 00:04:15 Starting weight: 25st 4lb — and why it didn't scare him 00:05:10 Early mobility struggles & realising things had to change 00:06:00 Past attempts, shift work & why accountability finally clicked 00:07:15 The moment group support made the journey “stick” 00:08:30 Seeing change vs feeling change — the “still think fat” phase 00:09:40 Clothes sizes dropping: 3XL to 2XL and the mind catching up 00:10:30 All-or-nothing beginnings: no Syns, full focus 00:11:45 Learning balance: reintroducing treats without spiralling 00:12:40 Rugby days, injuries & losing a big part of his identity 00:14:00 Life after sport: stoma, mini-stroke & stepping away for good 00:15:30 Food habits during care work & long days with no meals 00:16:45 The power of routine & regular eating 00:17:30 The Slimming World spark: stickers, shinies & friendly competition 00:18:45 First gains on the scales — and bouncing back stronger 00:20:00 Breaking the old “I've blown it, so I'll binge” pattern 00:21:10 New rules: sad = apple, happy = strawberries 00:22:00 Weight loss milestones month by month 00:23:15 Hitting target in 41 weeks — with holidays included 00:24:10 The freedom of staying in control & losing the fear Wrays Slimming World Groups Mansfield: If you are local to Mansfield and would be interested in attending one of Wrays Slimming World Classes feel free to contact Wray on the following link. https://www.facebook.com/groups/704401220014053

  In today's episode, I'm joined by Lisa Taylor from Ontario, Canada. Lisa reached her late 30s feeling low on energy, unhappy in her marriage, and stuck in a life that didn't feel like her own. At 226 lbs, she decided something had to change. Lisa joined Weight Watchers with a close friend, made herself accountable, and started running while still playing competitive softball. She went on to lose around 60 lbs and nine dress sizes, and promised herself she'd never go back over 200 lbs. But the biggest shifts weren't just on the scales. As the weight came off, Lisa realised she'd been living by expectations she'd absorbed growing up — keeping herself small, people-pleasing, and pushing down her own needs. She began unpacking years of emotions, finding her confidence, and building a life that actually feels aligned. Lisa shares how she and her husband separated kindly, how she now supports other women on their journeys, and how she's navigating menopause, body changes and midlife with far more acceptance. She's gained a sense of peace she didn't know she was missing.

We meet Dr Ibrahim  an NHS doctor who has been open about his lifelong struggle with weight and his decision to start the Mounjaro (GLP-1) jab. In this episode, he shares what it's really like to be both a doctor and a patient using the medication — the stigma, the questions he's asked most often, and how he approaches safety and long-term use with honesty and care. We talk about the realities behind the “golden dose,” the risks of unverified syringes sold online, and what patients should understand about side effects like pancreatitis and gallstones. Dr Ibrahim also explains why every weight-loss journey needs a plan for maintenance, how microdosing works in theory versus practice, and how he's rebuilt a healthier mindset through running, patience, and consistency. It's a clear-headed, compassionate look at the medical and emotional sides of GLP-1 treatment — perfect for anyone considering Mounjaro or wanting to hear from a doctor who truly understands it from experience.

EP166: Becoming Hannah Again: Reclaiming Identity, Health & Happiness In this week's episode of the Weight Loss Warrior Podcast, I'm joined by Hannah from Cheltenham - a mum of two who's transformed her life, her mindset, and her confidence after years of putting everyone else first. Hannah's journey is powerful, emotional, and full of honesty. After struggling with weight since childhood, living with chronic pain, and caring for her children, she hit a breaking point during lockdown. Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and physically drained, she made a decision that changed everything: she joined Slimming World with her mum - and this time, she never looked back. Since then, she's lost over 7½ stone, rediscovered her love for cooking, and regained her identity - no longer just “mummy,” but Hannah again. In this inspiring episode, we talk about:

In this episode, I'm joined by Claire Buckley, who opens up about her lifelong struggle with food, emotional eating, and the constant “food noise” that shaped so much of her life. Claire talks about how she first realised her relationship with food felt different from those around her, the frustration of seeking help through traditional weight loss groups, and the deeper emotional cycle that kept her feeling stuck. She shares honestly about panic attacks, shame, and the sense of failure that came with every new attempt — and how finding the right support, along with her experience using Mounjaro, has helped her quiet the noise and begin to rebuild trust with herself. It's a powerful, relatable conversation about self-awareness, compassion, and what it really means to find peace with food.

We all think that to get into shape is doing more exercise, but it is actually more than that. It is about what we eat, drink and of course how we exercise.

In this episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Clare O'Connell - a proud mum of two and multi-award-winning Slimming World consultant - to talk about her incredible transformation journey. Clare lost 8 stone, but what really struck me was how open and real she was about everything that came before it. From her 20s marked by grief and emotional eating, to finding the courage to make a change - not through one single “aha” moment, but through multiple small wake-up calls that built over time. We talk about what it's really like trying to lose weight while being a parent, how group support helped her believe in herself, and how she's teaching her kids to have a positive relationship with food. Clare's honesty is exactly what so many people need to hear - because her story proves that long-term change is about resilience, not perfection. In this episode, we discuss: Clare's turning point and how her journey really began Emotional eating, grief, and how it shaped her early adult life Creating a new identity after weight loss How she's raising her kids with a healthier outlook on food The importance of group support and community Building self-belief one decision at a time Follow Clare on Instagram: @clareoconnell_sw Enjoyed this episode?

EP153: How Elsie found her confidence after weight loss This weeks special guest is Elsie from Stratford upon Avon and she is here to share her secrets to losing 2.5 Stone and feeling much healthier and happier for it. We discuss how being overweight had left Elsie actively trying to avoid social events and wanting to live like a hermit, worried that everyone would be passing judgement and commenting on her appearance. I hear how Elsie's decision to join Slimming World helped her to find focus and find a love for cooking real, tasty home cooked food. It was powerful to hear the energy in Elsie's voice as she spoke about the benefits and positive outcomes she has enjoyed having lost weight, and her journey will be inspiring to anyone with a similar goal.

EP149 - Clare's Story: From Denial to Empowerment and 6 Stone Lost In this week's episode, I sit down with Clare from Essex - an inspiring guest who shares her powerful story of reclaiming her health, confidence, and identity. After a lifetime of struggling with her weight, Clare hit a turning point in her late 40s that made her say: “Enough is enough.” We talk about the personal wake-up calls that changed everything - from the loss of family members to a stark passport photo - and how she used that moment to finally take control. Clare opens up about overcoming years of yo-yo dieting, the importance of mindset shifts, and how her Slimming World group became a lifeline of support. Now 6 stone lighter, feeling stronger, and about to become a Slimming World consultant herself, Clare is determined to pay it forward and help others in her community find hope and lasting change too. Key Highlights: A lifetime of struggle - How early diet culture and emotional eating impacted Clare's confidence. The turning point - A mix of grief and a confronting passport photo set her journey in motion. Real-life challenges - From food intolerances to holiday temptations, and how she handled them. Why community matters - How her Slimming World group gave her the support to succeed. Becoming a consultant - Why Clare is stepping into a leadership role to help others do the same.
