Real people, real results
Meet some of our super Slimpodders. Theyโre losing weight โ so can you!
Lost 12 Stone
Weโre very proud that the clinically-proven Slimpod programme helped Tameside hospital in Manchester to win a coveted NHS award for its contribution to the health and wellness of its staff.
The weight loss project was a huge success. Staff lost weight but even more importantly theyโre feeling healthier and happier. Even better, the Tameside staff were featured on Channel 4โs How To Lose Weight Well series in January 2019.
Weโve now set up health and wellbeing projects with Fairfield Hospital, Manchester, the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham and the Millgate Healthcare Practice in Denton, Manchester.
My uniformโs dropped 2 sizes
Iโve tried to lose weight many times but always piled it back on. Working long shifts as I do thereโs a tendency to eat convenience food or wait until I get home and then pig out. My vices are bread and wine. Since Slimpod Iโve not wanted so much bread and have noticed Iโm drinking less too! Itโs been effortless.
โIโm planning my meals and now take healthier options into work with me. And Iโm going to the gym after work as I find I have more energy than ever โ even after a 12-hour shift! In 13 weeks since I began Slimpod Iโve lost 20 pounds, and by the end of March next year I want to be three stone lighter and I know I can do it because itโs so easy!
โ Iโve already dropped a dress size and a half and Iโm wearing a smaller uniform and soon will have to replace it with an even smaller one. My colleagues have been very supportive and even a couple of patients have commented how good Iโm looking.โ

Now Iโm eating healthily!
Look at the size of my old uniform! My problem was cake and chocolate and lots of it. I could be giving advice to my patients about healthy eating with my pockets stuffed with chocolate bars. I wasnโt sure if Slimpod would be for me but when I lost interest in chocolate during the first few days of listening I couldnโt believe it.ย
โI was more motivated, keener to exercise and generally feeling great. My job can be stressful but very rewarding and I feel that Iโm now practising what I preach. I feel really happy! ย Iโve lost 21 lbs and now Iโm a size 10 โ and did it all without willpower! I feel Iโve reached my optimum weight and I know maintaining it will be easy.

Smaller portions, no snacking
Since I married my hubby in Antigua last year Iโve put on three stones. I work 10-hour days so I always bring food into work. Trouble is I was always snacking too โ until Slimpod that is. Now Iโve cut down on my portions โ Iโve done it without really thinking about it.
โIโve lost 16 lbs but just as important as the weight loss I feel more relaxed and happier in myself. I recently went for another job at the hospital โ Normally Iโd have got stressed and anxious, but I was relaxed โ and got the job. Iโm wearing clothes I thought Iโd never get back in to. My hubby is happy for me and heโs even started to eat healthier and exercise more and now heโs lost a stone too. I want to lose more, and I will. Thereโs no way I would give this up.

People praise my new shape
Turning 60 was an important time in my life. It made me take stock of what I really wanted for myself and I wanted to feel less bloated, more motivated and I really wanted to lose weight. I volunteered for the Slimpod project not really knowing what to expect, but it couldnโt have been easier. In fact, Iโm amazed at just how easy itโs been.
โIn three months Iโve lost 24 lbs and Iโve dropped two dress sizes โ Iโm now a comfortable 14. Iโm eating better and I have a lot more energy for my job and my grandchildren. Lots of people have complimented me on my new shape, which has boosted my self-confidence no end. Although Paul and I have been married for 26 years weโve started having date nights โ and we walk to the restaurant.

Five sizes down in 5 months
“I joined the Slimpod trial to improve my health after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2013. I made small changes like taking the stairs and cutting down on snacking and eventually dropped five sizes in trousers and two sizes in tops over five months. I’m now exercising regularly, happier, and have more confidence. My doctor may take me off medication by February because my blood sugar levels have improved. I’m confident the weight will stay off because my lifestyle has changed.”

My snacking habitโs gone!
โMy weight has yoyo-ed up and down over many years by as much as six stone. Safe to say I was sceptical. How could listening to something for nine minutes help you lose weight? It sounded too good to be true. I was wrong. Itโs had such a dramatic effect. Three days in I couldnโt eat a full meal, which isnโt like me. My snacking habit has gone and my sweet tooth has disappeared. Iโve lost three stone so far. Itโs been so easy!โ

People just love us on Trustpilot
โAfter years of obsessing with my weight and trying every diet under the sun I came across Slimpod and can honestly say itโs the only thing thatโs changed my relationship with food for the better.โ
โThe futureโs bright now: After listening to the Slimpod just once, I stopped snacking between meals! I have lost weight and I’m confident that the weight will stay off this time. Simply amazing!”
“All of a sudden Iโm eating less. Iโm giving my partner food. Slimpod is a life changer and a life saver. Iโm a 59 year old man and Iโve dieted all my life. Now I have a new relationship with food.โ
