Welcome to the podcast that teaches you. There's no shame in a gain. If your Slimming World

leader is sat in your blocked list and you've got no clue how she got there. We don't know.

She's just there. You are one of us. Hi. I am Joe. And with me is Victoria. Hi. Did you ever ghost? I think you were queen of ghosting your Slimming Club leader, won't you? Oh yeah. I loved it. Oh yeah. Loved ignoring. Loved blocking. Love deleting. Leaving groups. Oh yeah. I had no shame. Never turned up again. to one that you'd ghosted? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I must have done because I think where I used to live, there were only a handful that sort of fit in with the time that I went. But they're never going to turn you down, are they? They're never going to say, oh no, you ghosted me, You can't come in. So it was never an issue, but it did give me a bit of a power trip.

Producer Paul will know all about this when he joins Slimming World next year after Christmas. That's exciting. Hi, Paul. Won't need it. 2025 is my year. Oh. Okay.

You're still going with that, are you?

Yeah. Do you still think it is? You've not had a relapse since we last year.

Well, really, my slimming group leader is my wife and I've had to have word with her this morning. Locked her. I saw her on the scales this morning. Oh, no. Is that time? Yeah, it's the hardest time. It is hard. I agree.

Are you still doing your soup thing?

Make one meal soup, moms.

I am with a couple of quite significant days off.

Okay.

I will discuss in a bit. No doubt we will hear all about that.

So before we start this episode, I would like to make an announcement.

As this episode goes out, depending on when you weigh, there is eight or nine weigh-ins to Christmas.

No way.

Yes.

And I am putting it out that, are you where you wanted to be this year?

Because we've still got eight

slash nine way ins to go how are we feeling i was doing my spreadsheet uh for my diet groups and

it's on my screen each group has their own page and i put their um information in their weight losses

gains whatever and yesterday or the day of recording this yesterday um was the first time that I'd seen week 52 on the same screen a whole year of our diet groups was on the one screen because I think again as this goes out the last was week 41 or something so I can see and I absolutely blew my mind to see week 52 and I've had I've got so many groups I've literally been with me since week one yeah it's exactly I exciting. I just, I just can't believe it.

I just can't believe it that we're actually at the end of the year. It's terrifying.
