Some of my regular readers will know that I do a lot of work with Thinking Slimmer, helping out with social media, blogger outreach, moderating the Slimpod Club Facebook group and all sorts of things.
As lockdown starts to ease and summer beckons, it’s natural that many people’s thoughts will turn to weight loss, and if you feel like you need a bit of a boost then you can get started straight away. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for a ten-day free trial and the giveaway.
But first I would like to share with you some results from a six-week weight loss boot camp which I moderated and ran, using the Slimpod system.
All the participants had to do was set their goals, listen to their pod for 10 minutes every day for six weeks, and record the little changes that happened to them, also sharing their progress in a Facebook group.
There is no set diet or weight loss advice with Slimpod – the pod retunes your subconscious mind so that you automatically eat more healthily, make better choices and move more, in a way which works with your lifestyle. It’s almost uncanny.
Over the course of six weeks, the participants were also encouraged to watch a weekly video from Sandra. Here are the six motivational videos:
Week 1: Put yourself at the top of your to do list
Week 2: Create Daily habits to reach your goal
Week 3: Stop sabotaging your weight loss
Week 4: Four Ways you can cut down on Sugar
Week 5: Proof that stress makes you eat more
Week 6: Three things to do in Week six
So how did people get on?
Quite a lot of people made it to the end of six weeks. They listened every day and noted their little positive habit changes. Many of them commented as they went along how different the process was to a diet, and how liberating it was that no food is forbidden and they were essentially eating “whatever they wanted” – the difference being of course that the Slimpod had subtly changed what they wanted, so they were making healthy choices naturally.
Quite a few of them started exercising again, or ramped up what they were doing. many of them dusted off their step counters and aimed for 10,000 steps a day.
By the end of six
The great bit is that not all of the stories are just about weight loss. One of the things that Slimpod users are encouraged to do is take their mind off the scales, and instead focus on how their clothes feel and how they feel inside. And so many of them feel fabulous as a result of just 6 weeks, with increased body confidence and a sense of having achieved something amazing, which can springboard them to even greater success in the future.

It’s lovely to see the realisation that you can be happy and accept yourself, even before you get to goal. Just knowing that you have changed some habits without willpower or effort is enough to make people smile.

It’s a lovely feeling when you set a six week goal and achieve it!

If you are inspired by these tales of weight loss and increased body confidence, and if you need a post-lockdown confidence boost, then why don’t you try the Slimpod system for free for ten days. Please note you have to put in payment details when you sign up for this, but if you don’t want to continue at the end of 10 days you can cancel with a simple email. You then get a 30-day money-back guarantee so even if you pay your first instalment you can still be refunded within 30 days, no questions asked.
