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.

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?

Before joining TRINITY, Rebecca tried everything— Slimming World, SlimFast, even liquid-only diets — but nothing seemed to move the scales. In this episode, she shares how she lost 3 stone, dropped 5 dress sizes, and rebuilt her confidence from the ground up. Fit Over 40 Program: www.fit40info.com

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.

EP148: Nick's Weight Loss Story: From Roadside Habits to Slimming World Icon In this episode, I chat with Nick, a down-to-earth guy from Surrey who made a powerful transformation - not just in weight, but in mindset, habits, and lifestyle. As a long-time manager for the RAC, Nick's days were often spent on the road, eating at petrol stations and fast food chains, living a life that eventually caught up with him. What followed was a major wake-up call: sleep apnoea, asthma, sky-high cholesterol, and pre-diabetes. But what makes Nick's story so relatable is how he didn't do it alone - he tackled it with a group of close mates who all joined Slimming World together, creating a support system that made the process not just manageable, but even enjoyable. Nick shares the power of community, the reality of setbacks, and what it really takes to build a lifestyle that lasts. Now, with 6 stone lost and a national Slimming World Icon title under his belt, he's living proof that it's never too late to change - and that men should absolutely be part of the conversation around weight loss and wellbeing. Key Highlights: The real cost of “grab and go” living – How a career on the road contributed to poor health. From denial to decision – The moment Nick knew he had to change. The power of a support system – How joining Slimming World with 4 friends created lasting accountability. No more “bad days” – Learning to live with balance instead of guilt. From member to icon – How Nick's journey led him to becoming the national Slimming World Icon. Support the podcast!

EP147: Breaking Free from Diet Cycles: Kian's Journey to Strength, Balance, and Self-Belief In this episode, I sit down with Kian, a mum of two from Cumbria, who shares her incredibly raw and powerful journey through weight struggles, emotional healing, and building strength - both mentally and physically. Kian opens up about her early struggles with body image, the unhealthy relationship she developed with food during difficult times, and the lessons she learned from years of trying to diet through Slimming World. She candidly talks about leaving a toxic marriage, rebuilding her life, finding love again, and, ultimately, finding herself. We talk about the impact of grief, binge eating, falling into the all-or-nothing mindset, and how Kian has transformed her approach to food, fitness, and wellbeing by focusing on strength over scales. Her journey into hiking, cold dips, pole fitness, and working with an amazing coach (shoutout to Ashlee!) shows that true health is about so much more than a number on the scale -it's about living a vibrant, strong, and fulfilling life. Key Highlights: Breaking free from toxic diet culture – Moving from “good” vs “bad” food rules to true food freedom. Finding strength after grief – How Kian's life changed after caring for her mum through terminal cancer. Mindset shifts – Letting go of perfectionism, focusing on non-negotiables, and making health sustainable. Building habits that stick – Why early morning routines, pole fitness, and setting appointments for yourself matter. Choosing long-term health over quick fixes - The reality behind gastric surgery, jabs, and chasing fast results.

Send me a message - text me! Today I had a surprising realisation over breakfast. It turns out, I still love overnight oats. I first discovered them during my Slimming World days. So why am I still eating them now, years after letting go of food rules and diet plans? Because I actually enjoy them, and I think that's worth talking about a little bit.This episode explores how we can reclaim foods from our dieting past, how some meals still serve us, and how others (like pasta salad!) might be worth revisiting in a whole new way. If you've ever questioned why you eat what you eat, or avoided something that reminds you of old diet habits, this one's for you.What You'll Hear:Why it's okay to enjoy a food you discovered while dietingHow to tell if a food is serving you now, or just sticking around from habitFoods we avoid because they trigger diet culture memoriesReclaiming and reinventing old meals on your own termsHow to tune into satisfaction instead of rulesLet's Chat!Do you still eat foods from your dieting days?
