Slimpod

Is there anyone else out there who does Slimpod? I have been doing it since 1st Sept and have lost 10lbs. I fully expext this to drastically slow down, but having done calorie counting, slimming world etc in the past I cannot quite believe how easy it is.
I would love to hear from anyone who is much further down the line from me. How is it going?

@ClaudiaWinklepanda - definitely try the sugarpod. I’m one of those who it didn’t particularly work for, although once I’m more settled back into things I’ll give it another go!

That's great! It gives hope to my sugar-addled podgy self. You mentioned upthread that the sugar pod isn't suitable for everyone, what was your experience of it?

I wouldn’t say it was as extreme as some people on the Facebook group who made out like it ruined everything for them, at the time I just felt like it wasn’t particularly doing anything but I think I possibly was doing better without it and have knocked it off the playlist for now.

I found that I didn’t particularly need the sugarpod as I’d cut down on sweet snacks just from listening to the Slimpod. It may be because by not restricting anything I didn’t particularly want it. I’d tried to give up sugar previously but ended up craving it constantly.

I did the free trial.

But it didn’t work at all for me.

I was refunded though.

Is anyone still around on here? I've just started the free trial.

@Babana123 how are you doing?

I'm still doing good thanks Treacle. By some miracle I am managing to keep the weight off. I am still in my size 10/12 trousers which I am overjoyed about.

Good luck with it all xx

I just wish I could get in to the habit of listening to the pods, I find the music really annoying.

That's brilliant! I hope to have success like yours!

I’m still around! Still a bit on and off with it - it’s definitely not the miracle I thought it was to start with, but it’s kept me from spiralling completely out of control at least!

This week I’ve not had any chocolate/ sugary treats and our meals are always pretty healthy anyway so I’m feeling much more ‘in the zone’ again.

Ahhh I'm glad it's helping even if it's not what you first thought.

I'm feeling unsure. I'm only on day... 4? I think, but I feel like maybe I should be trying more to control diet as well as listening. I dunno.
Hard to trust the process I guess!

JacketPotatoFoodOfTheGods · 18/05/2024 05:37

I'm going to try the 10 day free trial. Anyone thinking about this & want to give it a go together?

TwoBigNoisyBoys · 27/06/2024 09:56

@JacketPotatoFoodOfTheGods just found this thread as I’m signing up today. Did you sign up in the end?

SpinningOutWaitingForYa · 22/09/2024 19:18

This has been popping up on my Facebook so I thought I'd have a search on MN!

How are you all getting on?

I've been contemplating mounjaro but the side effects scare me.

JacketPotatoFoodOfTheGods · 22/09/2024 19:42

@SpinningOutWaitingForYa yes I did. It's not been unhelpful. I found the positive affirmation type thing you listen to at night very easy to fall asleep to but her videos annoyed me. So I got fed up of it and stopped.
But maybe if I was less easily irritated it might have worked better!

JacketPotatoFoodOfTheGods · 22/09/2024 19:45

Also contemplated mountjaro but reading up on those threads, it's apparent that you really need to make big lifestyle changes too. I.e. exercise more eat less... which frankly I want to do anyway.

And I do worry about the long term side effects. Also no one really saying that they've come off them yet and remained slim... it just feels wrong to me somehow.

Sorry @TwoBigNoisyBoys that answer was aimed at you. Did you sign up?
