Too good to be true? Some impartial opinions on

losing weight with a Thinking Slimmer Slimpod

BLOGGER 'Fish Fingers For Tea' WRITES:

A week ago I paid for and downloaded my Slimpod, half expecting it to be a complete waste of money.  But bloody hell, it’s true. This works.

In a week I've lost 7lbs. Yes. 7lbs. In 7 days.

And don’t get me wrong, I’ve been eating. Whatever I feel like. It’s just my portions are smaller (a lot smaller), my appetite has reduced and I don't snack. There are definite changes to my eating habits and definite weight loss. If this works, and it really does seem to, then the likes of WeightWatchers must be very worried indeed.

 BLOGGER "THE MOIDERER" LOSES 56LBS IN 7 MONTHS

I am losing weight and I am not on a diet. I don’t have to think about it or make any deliberate choices. I just get full quickly when I eat and I don’t feel like snacking very often. When I do snack, 2-3 mouthfuls later I don’t want any more. The other morning I took out a pair of trousers from my wardrobe and put them on. They fitted fine. I found a receipt in the pocket that was from 2003! Start weight: 15st 11 lbs. Weight after 7 months of my Slimpod: 11st 0lbs. Starting size: 20/22. Size after 30 weeks 14.

BLOGGER "MODERN MUMMY" IS 'GOBSMACKED'

 I am gobsmacked with the results. Another 2.5lbs off which brings my 21-day total to 7.5lbs! Pretty amazing, non? Before I started the programme I also took some measurements - of my waist, hips, thigh and upper arm. I re-took those measurements this morning. Bloody hell, are you ready for this?

I have lost half an inch from my waist. In three weeks!
I have lost TWO INCHES from my thigh. TWO INCHES!!!!!
I have lost one and a quarter inches from my upper arm.

 BLOGGER CHERYL'S BODY IS CHANGING SHAPE...

I'm in no rush and it's all happening without me doing anything in particular, even when I haven't got a moment to think about sorting out a healthy meal. And weight loss is only one factor. Even in those weeks when the numbers on the scales didn't budge, I found I could suddenly fit into clothes that didn't fit before. Still can't get my head around that one to be honest, but the proof is there. That's all I need to know to keep a smile on my face !

BLOGGER 'GLOWSTARS' WRITES...

It’s not just changes in what I’m eating that I’ve noticed. I feel slimmer. Dresses I bought in the sales are already hanging off me, making me wish I’d bought a smaller size. The size 16 skirt I bought at the beginning of January is loose, almost to the point of falling down, and a tighter skirt I bought as an investment to slim into now fits perfectly. Of course the thing that has me most excited is that I’m now back down to my pre-pregnancy bra size. I thought it would never happen!

BLOGGER 'MUMMY LION' WRITES:

The massive thing for me is that before I got pregnant I was a size 14, and now I am a size 12. I have put all my too big jeans away and brought out over ten pairs of jeans that I have not worn for many many years, so I am ecstatic about that. It’s incredible how Thinking Slimmer works – in fact I have been discussing it on twitter today.  You can even eat ‘bad’ foods, because you know you will stop when you’ve had enough, so you never overeat.  It’s like magic, it really is. Doing Thinking Slimmer and MuTu has been the easiest way ever to get fit and lose weight.  Really, they are worth every last penny – for the weight loss and especially for putting my child-torn body back together again, in a better shape than it was when I began!

BLOGGER 'SIMPLY HAYLEY' WRITES...

"Will I keep using it? Definitely! I am not a fan of faddy diets and denying yourself foods that you love/like etc just to lose weight. This is a much healthier way to lose weight and fits in easily with your lifestyle."

 TWITTER STAR @COSMICGIRLIE (Jay Mountford) TWEETS...

...and in her brilliant 'Mocha Beanie Mummy' blog Jay writes:

Since I started listening to Thinking Slimmer I’ve gone from a laaaaarge size 14 down to a small size 12. SOME of my size 12 trousers are a little loose. I’ve given every single pair of size 14 trousers away, because, well, permanent builder’s butt is just not pretty.

So anyway, loads of people on Twitter keep asking me “So really, does it work? I mean, really?” Which confuses me because every time I so much as mention Thinking Slimmer, I’m only ever singing their praises. If I rave about it any more, I might have to start asking for commission or something. The short answer: IT WORKS.

Yeah, I’ve lost a stone. I have done little/no exercise because I am lazy. I hate the gym. However, I find myself with FAR more energy than before so I naturally want to move around and do stuff anyway.

BLOGGER 'INSIDE THE WENDY HOUSE' WRITES...

"This is a programme for life, it is permanent and not just a faddy, quick fix scheme! Last night I listened to my Slimpod.  Today I feel really positive. I've had no urge to snack today and didn't even look at the cakes when I was in Tesco.  I also didn't finish Freddy's lunch leftovers which I usually do without even thinking." Three months later: "I want to be able to eat something delicious from time to time, having factored in the calorie content.  I want to enjoy it, relishing the indulgence, but confident in the fact that one will be enough.  I want to live my life without feeling that I can't go out anywhere because I'm afraid of temptation.   This door has finally opened up to me...I am at last free."

BLOGGER SCOTTISH MUM WRITES...

"After just weeks of listening to this little file on my phone every night, I am feeling human again.  As an emotional and stress eater, I really thought that the power of the Slimpod would wear off, and I would struggle as the stress took over.   I find the opposite to be true. I am losing weight weekly. I am finding the increasing confidence that I am beginning to have is taking me back to the days before I lost my way...my life is changing."

BLOGGER Would Like To Be A Yummy Mummy WRITES..

"It really is easy. You just listen to them each night before you go to bed. Nowadays I rarely make it past the first few minutes before I am in the most delicious deep sleep. This has got to be a much healthier way than the constant yo-yo dieting I am used to.  As a Mum to two gorgeous little girls, I want to set a good example to them by eating a healthy balanced diet. Don't just take my word for it though.  You really should try them for yourselves."

 BLOGGER JOLLY JILLYS WRITES...

"Last year I had a gastric band and I thought the future was bright. At first I did lose weight but then it slowed to almost nothing. I felt sad and very embarrassed as I had told people and I felt they thought it had been a waste of time. So although I was not sure about the Slimpod I did as asked and listened every night. Well, I am pleased to say...in the last two weeks I have lost 8 pounds!!  I feel in control again and I will be continuing to listen every night and fingers crossed this time I will get to goal weight. I would say buy a Slimpod and give it a go, it's working for me."
