Lost 4 Stone and Kept It Off for 6 Years: Ava's Story

Losing weight is one thing. Keeping it off is where most people come unstuck.

Ava joined Slimpod in 2020 after decades of Weight Watchers, Slimming World and "I'll start on Monday". Six years on, she's still at her goal weight. In this catch-up, we talk about what's changed.

Ava was the person who ate dessert before the meal, who binged all weekend and went "very good" from Monday to Thursday. She was sceptical about listening to something nine minutes a day and thought, "How can that work?" But with a 10-day free trial, she figured there was nothing to lose.

What changed wasn't a new set of rules. Her thinking around food shifted, sweets and chocolate gradually gave way to fruit, and she stopped feeling controlled by sugar.

In this episode we talk about:

• Why the Monday-start cycle keeps so many people stuck
• Why weight maintenance is a different challenge from weight loss
• How Ava eats now, including her "graze bowl", without feeling like she's on a permanent diet
• Why enjoying your food and your lifestyle makes maintenance easier
• What diet fatigue feels like after years of trying everything

I'm Sandra Roycroft-Davis, behavioural change specialist and creator of Slimpod. I've spent more than 15 years helping people change the automatic habits behind everyday food choices, because I want people to keep the weight off in a fairly effortless way. Ava is a perfect example of why.
