170: Attitude of Gratitude
"We have the power to do whatever we set our minds to..." these are the wise words of Margaret Miles-Bramwell, Slimming World's founder and chairman.

Anna and Clare reflect on Margaret's post and consider just how much of an impact a positive mindset has when it comes to helping us lose weight. Presented by Clare Freeman and Anna Mangan.
