I just love seeing the friendships and the way people engage in the community!
As part of our September Showdown Challenge, we invited you to let loose, move your body to music, and reconnect with that innate joy of simply dancing. No rules. No pressure. Just movement, freedom, and a healthy dose of feel-good tunes.
The response was overwhelming. But one video caught my eye—and not just for the moves. Rosalind, standing tall in a bikini, poolside (then in the pool!), dancing with confidence, courage, and lightness. It was joyful. It was brave. And it reminded us all of what this journey is really about: freedom.
This is why I am pleased to announce that Rosalind is our October Podder of the month!
The courage behind the click
Rosalind shared:
“When I decided to make the dancing pool video for the September Showdown I thought it would be a fun way to have a jump in the pool and do something a bit different. It was only as I went to actually post it in the group that I realised how brave it felt and how far I have come. I am wearing a bikini. My arms are on full display! The me from a year ago would not belive how far I have come, and I am so proud of the progress I have made.”
And yet, here she is—our Podder of the Month—not just for winning the September Showdown (a happy coincidence), but for being brave and putting herself out there in our community!
More than weight loss: Healing from the inside out
Here is what Rosalind shared about her journey:
The power of community
Our Slimpod Club was never just a support group. It’s a lifeline. A place of encouragement, warmth, and celebration. Rosalind’s story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we feel seen, supported, and cheered on by others walking the same path.
From her raw honesty to her joyous video in the September challenge, Rosalind has uplifted so many of us—and we couldn’t be prouder.
A final note from Rosalind
You only get one life, and I am so happy I have found the tools Slimpod can give me to make the most of it. This is just my way of life now, and I can carry on doing this, every day, and be happy to do it one step at a time.
Something exciting is coming...
Community is the heart of Slimpod—and we’re about to take it to the next level. After a year of hard work behind the scenes, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new community platform! Everything will be in one place, more personalised, and even easier to access.
We’ll be rolling it out in phases, so do keep an eye on your inbox for updates. As with any tech change, there may be the odd hiccup — even though we’ve tested everything thoroughly. If that happens, please bear with us — and thank you for your patience!
Once we’re all settled in, there’s a super exciting new challenge coming your way… and trust me, you won’t want to miss it.
You can find out more about the new community here and if you’d like to nominate someone for next month’s Podder of the Month, you can vote here.
Let Rosalind’s story remind you to keep dancing, Podders!

What am absolute delight to listen to Rosalind. Please do pass on how much I admire her wisdom and honesty and changes she’s made to her life.
Also I’m extremely pleased to hear that you are developing a new community via the “website” and not on Facebook, as I hate social media and have in fact deleted my FB account entirely and it’s been so much better for my mental health. I never have used twitter, Instagram etc but felt dragged into using FB. Love your email updates, thank you.
