)
When it comes to reaching a weight-loss goal, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. While every journey is unique, hearing from people who have successfully achieved their goals can provide inspiration, motivation, and practical ideas you can apply to your own path.
We're hearing directly from members who have reached their goals and maintained healthy habits along the way. From staying consistent during busy weeks to finding ways to enjoy favourite foods in moderation, they share the strategies, mindset shifts, and everyday routines that helped them succeed.
Whether you're just getting started or looking for fresh motivation, these real-life tips and experiences show that sustainable progress is built through small, manageable changes that add up over time.
1. Get excited about dinner:
‘I write a recipe blog which means I am often creating new recipes,’ says Janey, who lost 3st. ‘Basically, I am always excited about dinner!’ Our tip? Add a new meal to your weekly repertoire. Discover thousands of recipe ideas in the WW app and find your next favourite dish.
2. Track what you eat:
‘It's the most basic tip, but it's what worked for me. There are so many ways you can track in the WW app to make it easier, and it can actually be a lot of fun,' says Franca who's lost 3st 13lb.
3. Be more active:
'I was never into exercise, but I have found a love for the gym, which I never thought I would say. Plus, you can track fitness in the app. I now love Body Pump and I track my class so I know how many Points I’ve earned, which I can use for treats. And my fitness has improved so much. I feel like I can I can do so much more with my daughter, like playing football with her,' says Emily who's lost 7st.
4. Don't skip breakfast!:
‘I have eaten a bowl of porridge every morning since joining WW,’ says Claire, who lost 1st 5lb. ‘Porridge played a big part in my journey and keeping me at goal because it helps me to feel full until lunch.’ I add different flavours such as cinnamon or nutmeg, or add kiwi fruit and pineapple for a tropical twist.
5. Keep kitchen scales in sight:
'Even when you know your recipes backwards, you might still come across food items that need to be weighed. My kitchen scales are permanently out where I can see them,’ says Norma, who lost 1st.
6. Plan your weekly meals:
'Every week, I'll plan my evening meals, and make sure I add the ingredients to my food shop. Not only does it save me a lot of time, and money as I don't waste anything, but my kids also know exactly what's for dinner!' says Claire who lost 2st 3lb.
7. Write yourself a letter:
‘When I got to goal, having lost 8st 3lb, I wrote myself a letter including all the reasons why I felt so much happier and healthier,’ says Katy. ‘I keep the letter in my bedside cabinet and if I have a wobble I pick it up and read it.’ You can try this at any point in your journey to motivate yourself.
8. Trust the process:
Don’t underestimate the good habits you’re learning on your weight loss journey. ‘Even tiny things, such as asking for dressing on the side in a restaurant or offering to take a healthy dessert if you’re going to a friend’s for dinner, can make the difference,’ says Tanya who lost 4st.
