I love that you say don’t rely on motivation
The bit about want vs commitment was soooo true for me, thanks for this much needed kick up the arse! X
Hi Nikki. I have just finished my first week doing SW and I lost 3 1/2lbs. This is amazing for me as I am disabled and not very mobile... i can walk with a stick but don't have the stamina to do exercises per say. I decided that, at 50yrs old, I am going to take control over ALL aspects of my life. I have type 2 diabetes and within the week my sugar levels have come down from an average of 13.... to 8!!!!! I am so chuffed with myself.. I feel almost invincible, like I can do anything I put my mind to. I think the key to success, at least for me, is chasing away my food demons and taking back control. Loving your channel ( I am a new subscriber) Take care my lovely. xxxx
+Lisa Fenn that's fantastic Lisa. Really well done you xxxx
This has come at such a perfect time, i done so well was on the road to my target, then this rebel inside of me took over, I’m a stone away from where I was. I am angry at myself for letting it happen. Thank you Nikki, this has made so much sense xxx💕
Thank you Nikki. I so needed this video. Have been playing around with the plan for weeks. I am going to turn it around. Thank you and keep healthy and well with your pregnancy xx
Nikki all those tips are so fabulous ! I also use my fitness pal & enter all at the end of a day , It works for me as I feel empowered ,then scrolling down hitting the button nutrition it's like shop closed !! The graph appears of calories consumed & protein fats carbs plus water consumption , Xxx
Thanks so much I love your videos they help so much. Just come home after a really busy day at work and poured a really large glass of fizz - now going onto the diet cokes! Really needed this video tonight thanks so much! Loved the visualisation tips! When I think about what keeps me going, it’s starting the day right with a good, easy breakfast of speed food and a bit of my healthy extra A! Once I’ve started the day the slimming world way I find it easy to continue the day like it! Keep going everyone - we can reach our goals!!! Happy weekend!! Xxx
Hi Nikki, loved this video. I always ask successful slimmers how they keep their motivation high. Your tip on not relying on motivation was a real thunderbolt moment for me. I’ve been unsuccessfully relying on motivation for about 25 years now. Not relying on motivation and sticking to the lifestyle change might seem obvious to others but it is an absolute game changer for me!!!! Thank you so much. Oh and massive congratulations on your baby news so pleased for you and Chris 👶🏼👶🏼
Hello Nicky, I’ve just subscribed , I first joined slimming world in Feb 2015, 15 months before my wedding and lost nearly 2 stones. I’d lost 4 st by Feb 2018, but I was diagnosed with Adrenal Insufficiency and prescribed steroids for life. Over 10 months, I gained over 4.5 stones, my endocrine consultant was no help at all, he said I’d have to rake weight gain as a side event of steroids and I’m alive so be grateful🙀.
I emailed S.W. Who were so supportive. I rejoined last jan and I’m nearly at the end of a year of food optimising, and over 3.5st lighter, well on my way to target.
I’m sticking a bit at the moment, and your 2 questions about the importance we put on our weight loss, and how invested we are at the moment have given me motivation, so here’s to hitting my target soon.
Good luck with your journey, you will do it 👍🏻
Thanks that really helped alot. What you said about not always having the motivation I really needed to hear. I start doubting myself when I lose the motivation for a week here and there, I always wondered if the people with big weight losses suffered with lack of motivation at times too. Xx
Great video Nikki! I've been following Slimming World at home in Canada and I've been struggling with consistency. This has given me some great tips and a much needed kick up the butt!
Love this Nikki! Just reminding me where I want to be and why I’m doing this, also loving the visualisation....thank you xx 😘❤️
I absolutely loved this video! You are so right about everything. I rely on motivation way too much, my want is a 10, but my commitment is maybe a 2. I'm going to re-watch this regularly I think and start making little changes. Thank you so much x
Thank you so much for this video! I've had a terrible 2 weeks and haven't gone to group! I wasn't going to go again today, but watching this has made me realise how important my slimming journey is to me! Thank you and off to group I go :)
I love your videos and this one has given me the push I needed to be more motivated...I have lost 1st 13lb so far and because I have dropped two dress sizes and people are saying I look good I seemed to have hit a plateau where I'm hovering and unable to hit 2st! (My goal is another stone on top of that) now I know I can do it and watching your blog has inspired me along my slimming world journey, thank you Nikki, and keep doing what your doing 💐
Loved this video Nikki, and all of your videos actually! You speak such sense and explain things so well so Thank you! You have motivated me to get back to being consistent in order to reach my goal!! Xxx
I always enjoy watching your videos infact I love it when I get the notification you've posted a new one! I've only got around 10 lbs to lose but it's not always easy. However this week I've done 3 SP days, and it's given me a little boost. I'll be ready for summer! I love your dress sense too, you've inspired me on a few occasions! So, thank you and congratulations on your pregnancy news xx
I loved this especially the 1 to 10 about how much you are committed and how important your weigh loss is to you 💟
This was brilliant, thank you. Just what I needed! I recently got my 4 stone award and have been struggling with motivation but am so determined to keep going! X
Nikki you have no idea how amazing you are! What brilliant advice. 💖💖
Great video, no wonder you’re so successful in your job! So many great ideas to start thinking differently and to get in a different mindset. Thank you for posting this 😊
Fantastic video Nikki. I found it really inspiring. I totally agree with your comments re visualisation. I tried it years ago and the outcome turned out to be exactly the same. I am going to become an online member so will think of you as my leader when I watch your videos.
Nikki, you are just fab! This came at just the right time. Stressful day in work and I was all too ready to reach for the chocolates I was saving as a gift! I'd earned them, right? Then, like a magical fairy, this video fluttered into my subs box and reminded me that, actually, what I had earned was the feelings of self confidence, the way I feel in my office wear and the joy when able to buy a size smaller. They're of far greater value to me than the chocolates. So back in the bag they went and instead I'm having a lovely bubble bath, popping on some cheesy tunes and a facepack and slipping into my new PJ's for dessert! You're brilliant and I can completely see how you've soared in your SW career.
My tips would be.
It's never about can't. You can have everything. Cake? I can have it McDonald's? Yes, I can have it. Extra large glass of red? I definitely can have it. I just *choose* not to. The choice is mine. I have the power to make a decision, I have the power to make a choice. There's no I can't help myself or I can't have things. I can and I *choose* not to. I think once you realise you have that ability it becomes a lot easier to say no.
Hope this helps anyone else! xx
Lelly Talks exactly!!!! Will screen shot this what you’ve wrote 👍🏻your bang on! Thank yu xx
Fab video!! Consistency for me is about not giving up! Like your post said, be like a stamp and stick at it till you get there...but more than that, stick with it once you get there too! The worst mistake I made was getting to target, seeing slimming world as a short term thing, quitting group and now I’m back where I started. You have to have control and going to group helps you keep that. No slim person eats what they want in unlimited amounts and stays slim and neither can we! Xx
Nikki your videos are fab! This one is definitely really helpful! I use visualisation but in a different way, I write everything down. If I have to write it down I’m less likely to eat it but also seeing what I’ve ate in a day helps me to reflect on where I’ve done well or could have been better! Can’t wait to see the next video! X
Great video and just what I needed to watch! I joined SW in 2015 got to target in 6 months, i had a baby 7 months ago and gained 4 stone during my pregnancy 😣 I'm 10lbs away from getting back to target and find I'm struggling to stay motivated so this has given me a boost and i've already prepped brekkie for the morning and just started cooking a very speedy spag bol for dinner tonight! So thank you lovely xx
Day one of slimming world yesterday. Got a half marathon to run in May and need to lose 1 1/2 stone. Your videos are such a big help. The visualisation tool seems a great one to have and am definitely going to try that. Thanks for your encouragement x
Thanks Nikki. I’ve listened to this video several times and I think choice power and visualisation is what pops out for me. Xk
thank you Nikki, what a motivating video. it makes me wonder how amazing your groups are. x
Nikki your an inspiration !!! I loved the tip' s & they are all really helpful.The one where on a scale of 1 to 10 where do you see yourself & how important it is to you, really helped me to see , that I can do more to help me get to target . Thanks so much , your fab xx
Great video thank you! Visualisation and ‘getting on with it’ re motivation was really useful. Keep them coming Nikki 😘❤️ xxx
Great video. All of it rings true with me.
Also I've been at target since April and would love more videos on maintaining too. Despite maintaining target, I sometimes still struggle with overeating, feeling guilty over food and getting the balance right. Thank you Nikki
This video is inspiring... I’ve put on quite a lot of weight and watching this has definitely given me the get up and go I need... I liked the visualization part... and the behavior one, learning to say no! This will be my biggest challenge. Thanks xx
Hi Nikki I loved this video and as I put on 2lbs this morning in group, this was exactly what I needed to hear. Thankyou!!💕⭐️💗
Thank you so much Nikki, this has helped so much, especially about waking up and being positive instead of thinking the day wont go well, it was all really helpful, so last night i made some sw quiche to keep in the fridge at work for breakrfast, sorted out the days food and got salmon out of the freezer for tea, one day at a time :) thank you lovely x
Thank you so much Nikki you really explain thing really well i wish you were my consultant x Love all your videos xx
I loved it when you said ‘if you’re not motivated, do it anyway’. I’m gonna tell myself that, whenever I feel I’m losing motivation. I’m gonna do it anyway!!! Xx
Just do it! If nothing changes, then nothing changes! Spring is here sort of, this video has put the spring back in me! Jx
Great video Nikki. In this moment I could move back to the Midlands just so I could just attend your class you are so encouraging and makes so much sense but I love living in Cornwall too much lol xx
Wow I love the idea of visualization !! Going to give that a go tomorrow xxx
Good morning Nikki.. I'm a Slimming World consultant in my 2nd year and just wanted to say thank you. Your video really set light bulbs going off with me and loved it so much I shared it & spoke about it with my groups and the result has been so motivating so thank you!!! X x
Loved this video 💕 it’s just what I needed to regroup my thoughts and get back on with the journey 💕
Great tips. My motivation is to do this for my kids as well as myself, to be a good influence to them and hopefully set them up with healthy eating habits for life. 6 weeks in and it's working already, when my 2 year old sees me eating my bits of fruit, she wants some too and she actually eats it all whereas before she would just take a bite then leave it. I felt like a hypocrite before pushing fruit on them when I didn't touch it myself (I love fruit but would always choose a biscuit over an apple before - not now). The whole family is enjoying healthy meals packed with veggies. Definitely a way of life I want to keep.
Your rocking this right now! No wonder your so good at your career xx
Loved this 👌🏼🙌🏼 and I'd love to hear a video all about eating out tips xxx
Hey Nikki, loved this video. Loved the visualisation part !!
Sooo this was such a nice and motivating video. It was straight talking, matter of fact and non regimental. I left feeling positive on moving forward 👌🏽💪🏽💜
Really like mini goal setting eg. to food optimise for today. I get overwhelmed by big goals and loose my motivation. Will be watching again and hitting down notes 😊
Thank you so much. I think I was stuck in a rut of gaining, then feeling like I can’t do it, then feeling like why bother if i cant do it. I left this video feeling like I can! 3 days till weigh in, going to be hard to turn it around as I’ve had a ‘social’ weekend but i know i can. Those two questions were the biggest help. I’m a 10 and a 2, need to change it around if i want the result x
Hi Nikki I’m a BIG believer in the law of attraction! I’ve just done my stay at home weigh in and I’ve gained a couple of pounds and am thinking what can I do to get back on track and your video has just popped up! I can’t tell you how much this has been just what I needed today! The best tip for me is the visualisation tip. Before I got weighed me and the hubby were thinking of, would you believe, having a Chinese takeaway and wine tonight! After seeing this, I’m definitely going to do a fakeaway Chinese instead lol 😂 Thank you sooo much for all your very inspirational videos, they really do help. Sending a virtual hug 🤗 xx
Thanks for watching and for a lovely comment. Means a lot xx
I found what you said about motivation was so right. My motivation is high at a 10 but my commitment at the moment is about 6-7 so I need to work on my commitment. 😊
Hey Nikki great video, brill topic. My favourite tip from your list is SW is a lifestyle not a diet. That's how I try to work it or else I'd give it up. My rules I set myself are - I must attend Group EVERY Week AND stay to class. If life takes over and I can't make my usual class I must attend another one at another time/on another day but I must attend a class every week. I must lose something EVERY Week no matter how small. If I maintain I must lose the following week (I added this one last week because for the first time I put on half a pound last week after maintaining the previous week. I was so upset with myself but don't allow myself to dwell on the negative for too long because I need to get back in the saddle asap). If I maintain more than 1 week in a row I must stop and work out where I'm going wrong (start noting down what passes my lips at the time I'm planning to eat it and not leave it until later because I will forget accidentally on purpose!) Don't ignore gains or make excuses either but be honest with myself. If I go on holiday or attend a celebratory meal out try when possible to apply the Plan guidelines so that any gains are kept to a minimum (This really works for me). Food is to be enjoyed so I don't treat any foodstuff as a treat (I treat myself to nail polish etc, NOT food). If I really want it then I syn it, have it and enjoy it (in that order). If it's not worth the syns then I don't have it. If it's expensive and I still desire it then at least I know how much damage I've done! There's probably a few more but that's mainly it!
Hi Nikki. Really liked this video. The best part for me is asking yourself what level of commitment you have. You can really want your weight loss but if your not willing to be committed then it won’t happen xx
Great video, thank you for sharing. I am still in weight loss mode, and these tips probably don’t apply for anyone maintaining, but
1. I have set myself (non-food) rewards - I’m coming up to my 3 stone award and you’d better believe I’m off to the shops after that!
2. Before having children I was a size I really liked, and so occasionally I try on my “before” clothes from different weight stages. I recently just fit into 4 pairs of jeans that I thought I would never see again. Fitting into “old” clothes is a great motivator and can help when the scales aren’t showing the losses you’d like but your body is.
Next up, some research on visualization

Loved this, trigger foods and the words and actions really hit home x. Xx
Thank you for your advice Nikki! You are amazing 😊 I was feeling a bit down this morning after not seeing much progress but now I’m back on truck feeling all pumped up!
+Strange8Room yes👏👏👏💪💪💪you can do it xx
Great video. Super tips and so inspirational. Keep the videos coming. Xx
Wow! I know this sounds creepy but you have hit the nail on the head for me. I want to lose weight, I feel miserable and a right mess to look at. But I’m putting off joining because I don’t want to be accountable. I keep kidding myself that I can do it alone and I just can’t. I would love to come to one of your groups but I live in Leeds. Thank you so much Nikki I think I will join again ❤️
Thank you, Nikki, for making this invaluable video. I found the visualisation and motivation points the most useful, as these are my weak points for self-sabotage. But I found the whole video useful. I've thought a lot about why I am not consistent with my weight loss when I am consistent with everything else. For example, when I decided to stop smoking, cold turkey, seven years ago, I just did it. Where I seem to go wrong with weight loss is that it's so open to other people's input. Weight loss is a deeply personal, intimate, process concerning personal decision one makes about their body. I find it so annoying when people pass comments like, "You've lost enough weight but now you NEED to stop." It feels like invasion of privacy. I feel like wearing a sign on my forehead that says "DO NOT COMMENT ON MY WEIGHT. MY WEIGHT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS." I am not someone who feels comfortable with having any attention on me that weight loss just makes me want to comfort eat to stop the invasive and controlling comments.
Another thing that affects me is staying to group at SW because of consultants' behaviour. Obv. you are professional and one in a million and I am, therefore, so thankful for this medium of support. But the consultants that work in my area are massively overweight and quite bitchy. Staying to group does not motivate me to do better. It only commits me to an unhealthy influence and an unhealthy relationship in my life. This motivates me to self-sabotage as I leave group unhappy and having to carry their issues on my shoulders. Further, obese consultants cannot share vital information about consistency because they do not have it. I find that there is a LOT of unproffessionalism in the pool of SW consultants because they lack the personal skills to be worthy of a "consultant" title; that is, someone who is committed to practice what they preach and can leave their personal dislike of a member, at the door. SW head office have a total hands-off approach to this common problem and leave it to customers to resolve.
If you can, please do not judge me for being so negative. I'm just crying for the right support and I have had bad experiences in response. I am, however, so thankful for you and what it evidently a personal committment to excellence so large that it spans not only multiple groups but to your world-wide audience, as well. I totally see you as SW CEO, one day. Lots of love to you. x x x
+Psychology Contact what a shame you've had this experience. Head office would be upset to hear this as woikd Margaret. When they get complaints the local managers try and work with the consultants and train them. Shame we aren't closer x
Hi Nikki, the point I like best was when you explained how we could use visualisation - I'd heard of it before when at Slimming World, but found it difficult to apply, so that was really helpful to me x thanks so much xx
Thanks for the feedback xx
Great video keep them coming! My tip would be just keep going and you will get to target this healthy eating plan works! 😊
Awesome video... This is really what I needed to keep my focus :) thank you!!!
❤❤❤ especially the want and commitment ❤❤❤ my favourite is ' if nothing changes then nothing changs'😊
thank you nikki!! this really helped me... especially the 1 / 10 questions...
Hi Nikki, wanted to leave a comment, I’m doing well on slimming world, my consultant is also AMAZING I have lost 2stone 9lb so far and prob about half way through my journey. My arthritis been flaring up recently so I was maintaining for a couple of weeks there but with her support I stuck with it and getting my loses again, because I was maintaining I was starting to struggle mentally and I came across your channel. It’s been a god send and it’s like having an extra consultant who I can watch and get remotivated. Thank you ❤️❤️
+Tammy Young so pleased xxx
Tammy Young )
Great video Nikki, I’m a new subscriber and loving your sw and make up videos and hug congratulations on your twins. I’m a sw member myself and I’m always saying I’m on or off plan, so I’ll definitely take away that message and also the flexible syns. I’m also going to try the visualisation as I think that could help me in a lot of aspects in my life and not just sw. Thanks for sharing your tips
+Christine Robinson my pleasure lovely
Incredibly motivating. Thank you xx
Hey Nikki, I loved this video! Especially liked the tip about visualisation! I'm defo going to try that! ✨💕
Olivia I love your videos too! ⭐️ With the help of both you and Nikki’s videos and going to group I have lost 1/2stone in the last three weeks! 💕
Olivia Elise please ask niki to do your body confidence tag
Love this. You’re such a good speaker. I’m going to post a link to it in a group I’m in. Hopefully you’ll get some more subscribers.
+Andrea Lane thank you xxx
Great tips, I use all of them in my journey and lost over 13st so far. I visualise being handed my next award and/or the number I want to see on the scale. I agree JUST DO IT xx
+Debbie on Slimming World omg wow incredible. Well done xxx
I love this! Thanks for posting it, it's really going to help.
I have a couple of tips I us:
1. Is when I really feel like I'm craving something that has a super high syn value, and feel like it's that and no alternative or SW swap will do, I tell myself I can have it "tomorrow". The next day, if I still feel like I really must have it, I have it, although very often, I wont feel like it anymore. I sometimes I can say it again the next day too, most times, I find the "craving" wears off by the next day and if it doesn't, that's fine, I have it, enjoy it, and move on. I feel it helps with those times when it might actually be emotional eating.
2. Is I create a "bubble" around myself. If I know I will have a day ahead of me where I might be faced with making some healthier choices where there might be not so healthy choices there too, I literally lift my arms above my head, close my eyes and create a circle around myself, moving my arms around me like a Tia chi move!! I might look a bit like a nutter when I'm outside the party, in the car about to go in and join my friends, but it works for me - I guess it's very like the visualisation tip. As I "draw" the circle around me, I say out loud "Only the healthy choices will get through". Sometimes I just do it randomly through the day, or before I get out of bed!
Hopefully some of you will find that useful, or at least give you a giggle!!
+Kat Catters Love it x
Hey Nikki, fellow vlogger here! I am going to try visualisation! I was actually talking about that last week in therapy for a different thing but it works the same. I've had a massive set back with my health but I've still lost 10st! I'm getting back to vlogging my journey soon and I've still so much to learn. Thanks for this video, it's really helped x
+Just Julie SW hey hun. I follow you. You've done amazing. I'm sure you'll get back on track lovely. Xxxx
Thanks Nikki great talk and I’ve found it really helpful xk. Ps visualization is something in going to begin now ❤️
Love your videos! I joined SW about 3 weeks and I’ve lost 11.5lbs! I went to Centre Parcs and all my meals were made from scratch and very speedy! Your videos are so inspirational and I really enjoy watching one every few days to keep me completely up to scratch on what’s going on. Also, congrats on the successful IVF! Would you be able to do a video on eating out in places like Pizza Express please like high street chain restaurants etc? X
+Kellie Dingain Amazing. Well done hun. I already have xx
Even if you arent motivated just do it anyway!!! LOVE IT!!!!!! my fav is "if you are tired of starting fresh then stop giving up" its on the wall at the gym 😀
Hi Nikki. Id really love you to do a video on office lunch ideas which aren't using our HEB and are preferably free. I really struggle with lunches! Thank you. Hope peanut is coming along nicely x
+Sarah H I'm probably out of touch with this as I work from home x
Thanks watching this video has made me think and as from tonight I'm going to turn things around xx
Thanks for this, brilliant video! I particularly liked the part about visualization, something I need to give a proper shot. I've often tried to imagine myself being skinny (though not in a bikini, mind!), no excess skin, no flab, and if anything, that felt so unachievable that it can be the thing that sends me into comfort eating mode. So I've got the feature up on the SW website in a tab as I'm typing this.
What do you advise members who once reached target, or did really well, and then put a lot back on? I got down to 9st 4lbs, which I wasn't happy with because of still having a lot of flab/excess skin after losing almost 8 stone. I put 2 stone back on, and am currently in the process of slimming back down and figuring out what to do when I get back there. Currently 12lbs down since hitting the restart switch at the beginning of the year, but it feels a lot harder because that negative voice is much stronger, it often feels impossible to be happy in my body, and I often feel exhausted with the mental aspect of wanting to be happy in my skin! I started in September 2014, lost 6 stone over a year, went on a year abroad and maintained (as planned), came back and got down to 9st 4lb, then it all got even harder. The thing that kept me motivated is I always felt it was possible to have the body I wanted to badly, even at 17 stone. When I got down to 9st 4lbs, a healthy BMI just over 20, the amount of flab I had was more than a few pounds. I really hope I don't get down to that weight again and feel as hopeless!
Hi Nikki I have just found your vlog s they are great I don't know if you will get this as it's been so long ago, when I am struggling I am going to play them to get me over the bad days Thank you so much x
Love this video 👍
Another great video :) x
thankyou thankyou so so much always an insperation xxx
Helped big time Nikki. Just do it 🤩
So glad xx
Love this 💚
Love This 💕💕
Staying to group is key! X
Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.
You are so lovely and helpful
Fab video - Fopperholic are you going to do the questions and answers one soon you posted about it a while back xx
+Ali Jordan I didn't really get enough questions x
Great post Nicki! Loved the question about the commitment. Spot on👍love your posts and videos.
Thank you for this.....love the visualisation tip x
Don't say to yourself what you wouldn't say to a friend. I would never ever call my friends a fat cow, but that's frequently what i call myself!
I love this
You are great ♥
Hey Nikki great vid, only thing I would say is I’m on slimming world and I’m a man
It felt as if you where talking like only women do slimming world, but still a good vid.
I need you as a consultant in my city! :) ♡
Same here!!
I wish you were my consultant 😍
Can you do an image therapy for us every week Nikki? Even though you're not our local consultant. It would help so many people x
+Trish Ward I wouldn't be able to as it's not live. X
Most helpful: How committed are you?
Amen
Hi Nikki how do u cope with the disappointment of getting on the scales all pumped after a great wk on plan and not slipping at all to find ether u only have lost a very small amount or nothing at all? We always get told well it will show next wk but that doesn't help me and I go into fuck it mode!! I need to understand the small losses and why xx hope this makes sence lol
+Kat Harper it's so annoying. Only happened once on my original journey but had it since when exercising. Look for non scale proud ofs too. Who will.you hurt if you then blow it?!? Yourself. It HAS to show if you know you've been 100%. Sometimes though we think we have but have we.. food diaries or sas logs are fab in these situations x
Nikki Ryan aka fopperholic thank Nikki u r right it's not worth sabotaging yourself, that is something I have to think hard about on the scales next time this should happen. Thanks for replying to me xx
Wine? Friday? That’s where I’m going wrong! I don’t wait till Friday!!! 😡
