When James started Slimpod, he had no idea just how much his life was about to change.
He didn’t set out to follow a strict plan. He didn’t overhaul his life overnight. What he did do was press play on a pod—and listen.
“I was sceptical at first,” he admits. “But something started to shift. I began walking more, moving more… and without even trying, I found myself eating differently. My portion sizes dropped, my snacking changed—it all felt really natural.”
This is where things began.
From yo-yo dieting to real change
Like many, James had tried everything before: Slimming World, Weight Watchers, calorie counting. “They worked and didn’t work at the same time,” he says. “You lose weight, then put it back on. There’s no real change—just rules.”
With Slimpod, there were no rules. No counting, no guilt. Just daily listening, small shifts, and real behaviour change rooted in neuroscience. And it worked.
But then life happened. James started struggling a little and old habits started to whisper again.
James didn’t panic. Instead, he added another tool to his belt—Monjaro.
Watch his story below!
A powerful combination
By the time he started the injections, James already had a strong foundation in place. Slimpod had laid the groundwork. “My doctor was very clear,” he says. “You can take Monjaro—but if you don’t change your lifestyle, the weight will come back.”
That lifestyle change? It was already in motion.
“I’ve lost another four stone since starting Monjaro. But I’m doing it with Slimpod—because that’s what’s helped me shift my thinking. It’s not just about weight loss. It’s about learning who I am and what I need.”
The holiday that changed everything
There’s one moment James will never forget. “I went on holiday recently, and for the first time ever, I felt confident lying by the pool,” he says. “Usually, I’d be hiding under towels, feeling self-conscious. This time, I just enjoyed it.”
That’s the bit that matters most.
Not the numbers. Not the scales. But that feeling of freedom. Of peace with food, with your body, and with yourself.
From fear to confidence
James now feels confident that when the injections stop, his progress won’t. “Slimpod has changed how I think about food. That won’t go away,” he says.
“I used to be terrified that I’d always be a yo-yo dieter. But now? I feel in control. I feel normal.”
And that’s exactly what Slimpod is designed to do—put you back in the driver’s seat.
The power of community
James’ journey has now come full circle.
Inspired by how much Slimpod has helped him alongside the injections, he’s even created a supportive group specifically for others navigating both.
It’s a gentle, non-judgemental space where people can share, learn, and grow together—just as he has.
“I wanted others to know they don’t have to do this alone,” he says. “You can take control, and you can feel proud of who you’re becoming.”
James’ story isn’t about doing it perfectly. It’s about doing it differently.
And for him, that’s made all the difference.
