Wow, I still can’t believe it! I was honoured to be named Best Business Woman in Health at the Best Business Women Awards last week – and to say I’m stunned would be an understatement.
Me? Winning such an incredible award? Honestly, I’m still wrapping my head around it, it is truly bonkers
The moment after I won, you can see my disbelief in just how hard I was gripping the award! 😂 I couldn’t and still can’t believe it!
As I stood there receiving the award, I was filled with gratitude. This recognition isn’t just for me – it belongs to all of us, the amazing Slimpod community. Each and every one of you has been such an important part of this journey, and I’m so thankful.
Slimpod started almost 15 years ago with a mission to help people change their relationship with food and live happier, healthier lives. But like anyone building something from the ground up, I faced countless challenges and moments of self-doubt.
There were times when fear of failure felt overwhelming, but I pushed through, always anchored by my ‘why’ – the lives I wanted to change.
Thirty seconds later, we pose for a formal picture – and I still can’t believe it!
What kept me going during those hard times was this incredible community. Watching Slimpodders transform their lives, seeing the joy and confidence return as they reached their goals, has been my biggest motivation. Your stories of success – big and small – have been my guiding light.
Whether it’s dropping a dress size, feeling in control around food for the first time, or simply feeling happier and healthier, these moments inspire me every single day.
This award feels like a celebration of everything we’ve achieved together. It’s a testament to the power of self-belief and perseverance, and a reminder that when we support each other, amazing things happen.
I couldn’t have done this without all of you – thank you for believing in me, in Slimpod, and in yourselves.
Our Award, we will have to figure out a way for a 300,000-person timeshare for it!
Now I’d love to hear from you – what’s something you’ve achieved recently that makes you feel proud or even a bit bonkers? It could be big or small, but I’m sure it’s something that’s special.
Share something you’re proud of in the comments below and tag me @sandraroycroftdavis on Instagram so we can celebrate together!
Love, Sandra x

Brilliant Sandra and very well deserved! That’s definitely one of your Wins x
Congratulations Sandra 👏
It’s my 7th week and I already have stopped eating supper stopped fizzy drinks and have learned to stop eating when I’m full . I’m really optimistic that I will see the new me soon in smaller clothes and loosing inches !!
I have suffered with AFib for a number of years and 6 months ago I was asked to take part in the Super Rehab Study which involved regular monitoring, exercise and nutrition. I was contacted by a Nutritionist who hadn’t heard of Slimpod but wanted me to follow their food regime, I declined saying I was happy on my Slimpod journey. Yesterday I completed a 10 week twice weekly gym session with a PT and was delighted to be told that since the start of the trial I had lost just over half a stone (I don’t weigh at home) and 2cm from my waist. My AFib is much improved and I’m sure my determination not to be derailed from Slimpod is the key. Thank you and Congratulations on the award, very well deserved
You might feel it’s a bit bonkers Sandra but I’m sure I’m not the only Slimpodder to think “of course you deserve it!” Enjoy this award as recognition of your hard work and determination to create something that has benefited so many people in so many ways. You really DO deserve it!
@AnneMoore really well said! Hear! Hear!
So awesome!! Well done Sandra! It’s Friday and we survived a wonderfully busy week.
A very well deserved award Sandra for all your hard work
I love this, just goes to show we all are in good hands. #sandracroftdavis 😘
Congratulations Sandra. A very proud moment to cherish & well deserved. I’m proud to be a Slipodder for the past 10 weeks & stuck at it. You’ve done so much for so many 👏🍾 Thank you
@sandraroycroftdavis – I have recently had a stroke in the middle of my Slimpod journey so I am behind with watching the videos etc, was in hospital 10 days but have come out determined to continue on the journey and have restarted listening to the Slimpods each night and will soon be able to concentrate on watching the videos and catching up with them again hopefully
I am SO sorry this has happened to you! Your attitude is wonderful! Sending you very warm wishes for a good and fast recovery.
Well deserved Sandra. You have helped us all so much!
my team were runner up in hospital team of the year in this year’s chairman’s awards, which was fantastic as we’re a small team (sarcoma)
congratulations Sandra, it’s well deserved as you’ve worked so hard for us
Absolutely brilliant you deserve this happy for you 🤩🤩💕
Congratulations Sandra you deserve the award for all your hard work in putting this amazing programme together. 👏
Well done Sandra 👏
I am 3 weeks in and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! The genuine warmth, kindness and effectiveness of this programme are astonishing! A dream come true! I am wearing 2 sizes smaller already! I feel like a new person. The encouragement and support of the community have kept me believing I can do this. The pods and the approach are unique and unbelievably, astonishingly working for me. CONGRATULATIONS on winning this award, Sandra! You couldn’t deserve it more! Thank you and well done! ❤️
Many congratulations Sandra on your well deserved award. You truly are inspirational! I’m so thankful for this programme, changed so many aspects of my life, will be forever grateful.
Well done, Sandra, congratulations🎉🎖🏆.
..I recently passed my driving test, which was a huge win for me.
oh and I followed a workout on YouTube today! Planning to keep that up💪
Congratulations Sandra – very well deserved! I’m just finishing week 9. Since starting Slimpod I have had my first solo art exhibition and residency, sold a house, and enjoyed a lovely weekend away with family. (Also had a couple of unexpected stressful events). I continued with my pods the whole time and took everything in my stride. I’m convinced Slimpod helped. Thank you and congratulations again.
Hi Sandra
Congratulations 👏 you deserve the award. I’m two dress sizes down and I couldn’t have done it with out you. Slimpod has changed my focus on food and it’s amazing. Enjoy darling, you are the best ❤️❤️
I stopped biting my nails as well as lose weight!
just fabulous.huge congratulations
Congratulations Sandra! A well deserved award!
Thanks to Slimpod I have cut out all sweet treats, desserts etc from my diet. Everything I put in my mouth now is healthy unprocessed food – no crisps, fizzy drinks, chocolate, sweets or unhealthy desserts! Having been diagnosed as pre diabetic I am now winning with the changes to my diet.
It’s not bonkers to me that you have won this award. You thoroughly deserve it. You have changed my life – I am no longer a food addict and can enjoy life to the full. Words cannot express my gratitude to you and your team. Very well done 👏
Congratulations Sandra, what a well deserved win!! 🏆
I’ve just done a 5 mile bike ride up hills and down, and am close to completing the 100 mile October challenge walk for Devon & Somerset Air Ambulance – both things I couldn’t/wouldn’t have contemplated 9 weeks ago!! Thank you 🤩👏😘
Congratulations to you for the achievement and program you have created. I am on my second day and am looking forward to the changes it brings. In listening to the Slimpod on day one I became aware of my cynical part, and I’m looking forward to working through that in order to have success.
Hi Sandra
Well done 👏 So well deserved. My Slimpod adventure continues. It’s made me look at food totally differently. I have dropped a dress size….2 stone…although I very rarely weigh myself these days. Sorry but the urge to sometimes takes over although I know I’m still dropping weight because of clothes, being able to put my socks and shoes on without puffing 🤣. My “diet head” is definitely a thing of the past for me and I am truly grateful to you Slimpod and Trevor 😉 I’m an 80% /20% girl now. I am not making myself feel guilty if I eat what I want but am aware of all the other Slimpod nuggets. My weight is coming off slowly but that’s how it came on so am happy with that. Good health is the most important thing for us all.
Well done again and enjoy your celebrations. You really do deserve it Sandra.
It’s a two way thing, you’ve given us a lifeline with Slimpod (and a whole education in how to live a healthier and fulfilled life) and you’ve been given the credit and recognition you rightly deserve. Congratulations 🥂
More to come I reckon!
Absolutely rightly deserved! The time, effort and devotion that you give us all has shone back on you! Well done!!
I am feeling amazing and in control for the very first time in my life. I joined slimpod on 1st May this year and have lost 2 stone but more importantly I am slimmer all over. I am getting into clothes I bought 10 years ago and looking in the mirror saying wow 👌 you look good. Thanks to you Sandra. Well done you really fo deserve this recognition. Without my daily inspiration email I know I couldn’t do this.
Absolutely Well done!!!! You are amazing. I’m only on day 3 and looking forward to my journey with your help. Well deserved. xx
