128: Why Kindness Is Key
Compassion, love and kindness are things many of us are quick to offer others, but honestly - when was the last time you were truly kind to yourself? Weight loss isn't just about the food on our plate and the number on the scales - it's also about forming a better relationship with ourselves. In this episode of Slimming World Podcast, Anna and Clare explore what self-compassion really means. More resources on LifelineOnline's article: 'Why kindness is key to weight loss' and Dr Kristin Neff's website, self-compassion.org Plus #PantsGate continues...with a bit of poetry!

127: Inching Closer To Target
Making sure you view your big picture progress is important. It's not just all about what's happening on the scales. It's great to look at the wider progress you're making, especially when it comes to developing new habits and noticing the way your body is changing - either by inch loss or clothes sizes. Anna and Clare have some fun in reflecting on their full 'report card'. Contains some silliness about tea trolleys, guinea pigs and basketballs. By the way, how did you get on with your April steps challenge? We'd love to know! Share with us your totals via tiny.cc/swpodsteps Presented by Clare Freeman and Anna Mangan.

123: Step Yourself Fit With Body Magic!
Anna and Clare launch their April step challenge: to walk 150,000 steps over the month. On average it works out 5,000 steps a day. Anybody can enter, any level of fitness or from any starting base. And if it's a little easy for you, then why not challenge yourself further - can you add some different terrain? Big hills? Carrying a full rucksack? As the days get lighter and the temperature becomes a little warmer - let's join together and get back to basics with our Body Magic! Presented by Clare Freeman and Anna Mangan.

122: Do You Really Know What You're Eating?
Did you know the environment, who we're with, what size bowl we choose plus many other factors affect how much and what we eat? Clare and Anna geek out on some research about the 200 daily decisions we supposedly make about food...of which most of the time we have no clue we're even doing! Time to get the microscope out, pause with a bit of mindfulness and become more conscious on why we do what we do. Could it be that a handful of micro bad decisions are sabotaging your weight loss without you even realising? Presented by Clare Freeman and Anna Mangan. Produced by ASFB Productions.
