please do videos regardless of your weight loss because it makes me feel normal! I joined slimming world after watching your videos, I've lost 11.5lbs so far and have 2 stone to go. You keep me so motivated - do not feel bad for the bad weeks, they are there to learn from. Go easy on yourself!
Don’t beat yourself up you are human! It’s actually so refreshing to see someone having the same struggles as so many of us! Your beautiful girl don’t forget that. Love your videos and your gorgeous family xx
I love how you just explained how now you have a more colourful and vivid life and are therefore having a slower weight loss. I have been doing slimming world since jan and started off amazing but that has come to a halt now that I’m mentally in the best place I’ve been in years. I’m too busy enjoying socialising, being spontaneous and generally saying yes to things rather than no. I haven’t lost any weight in months and not really put on either but I don’t feel guilty for it as I’m enjoying the here and now! I also agree it’s easier to stick too in the cooler months. Thanks for your honesty xx
Please don’t be so hard on yourself Charlotte,you are not useless you are a beautiful mother with 3 gorgeous children.it is difficult when you have a young family and life gets in the way.up to now I have lost over 2 stones but it has taken me about 18 months and I think if you lose it slowly you have more chance of keeping it off long term.take the pressure off yourself and aim just to lose a pound or less every week.I know it knocks your confidence when clothes don’t fit but you will get there trust me ! Wishing you the best of luck x
You can do this!! I have just joined slimming world and have my first weigh in on Monday. My husband and kids are eating a chinese takeaway and I am making myself some spicy chicken. It's all about choices you are in control even when you don't feel like it. You have had a stressful week and Stanley is so young you shouldn't put too much pressure on yourself. You motivated me to join. Everyone has bad days we can do this and have the freedom to wear shorts in the summer lol. Sending you positive thoughts and hugs xxxx
I hate how hard you are on yourself, but love how real you are. We all go through the same phases every so often! Glad you are sticking with it rather than throwing in the towel when it gets hard! Your fab and inspiring even when your not truely feeling it!
What a honest video! We all get these days, weeks, months where we can’t loose as much weight as we like and just makes us feel useless you look fab carry on with what your doing! You will get to your goal x
OMG Charlotte you are anything but a let down - I love love how real and true your videos and journey is! You are awesome and always will inspire me no matter what!
You're doing so well, try not to let it get you down. You're doing it slowly & it will come off. It's good you're enjoying yourself with friends as that's what keeps you sane when you're a mum! Keep going, you'll get there. Lots of love xxx
Charlotte, you WILL get there. You’re just having a moment. Try not to beat yourself up too much. You really have quite a lot on your plate so it’s no wonder that you are feeling this way. I did want to comment on a possible helpful tip for Stanley’s reflux. Not sure if it applies, but here goes. When my babies were young, I literally put a brick under each leg of the top of their crib so that they slept at a tilted angle. It really helped w/ ear infections & it could possibly help w/ reflux. If nothing else, it might make him a little more comfortable while he is lying down. It’s just a thought I had while watching so I thought I would mention it. Hang in there. We are all rooting for you & sending you good vibes!
You’re not a let down. Honesty is more admirable and inspiring to me than some phony facade put on for TH-cam. I hope you start to feel better and feel more positive. Take each day as it comes and be kind with yourself ♥️♥️♥️ I’m very insecure as well and I completely relate with this.
Charlotte don't beat yourself up. You're doing great, life is for living and enjoying the moment and you seem to have a good handle on all aspects of your busy life. And when it all gets too much enjoy your "dream moments of prosecco hot tub and sunshine" ❤
Haha I was singing the HSM song too! You're not a big useless letdown, you're real and down-to-earth and we can all identify with the ups and downs of a weightloss journey. Keep going and keep making these fab videos. Px
Well done for filming even when you’re not feeling positive at this point in your journey. As you said, you will get there. It sounds like you’ve got a LOT on and you need to cut yourself some slack. Learning to balance social time with your goals is all part of the process and I think because you’re doing a long term plan that’s more sustainable it will take time to rebuild habits that work for you. You can absolutely do this but getting down on yourself when comparing to others or even your past successes can really disturb that all important mindset that you talked about. Sending you lots of love xx
Charlotte you are NOT a let down ! We all struggle with one thing or another but it’s the way we deal with our issues that make us who we are. You are a lovely person and you will get to where you want to be. Don’t be so hard on yourself 😚 x
I’m so right here with you! Couldn’t agree more with what you said here! Just can’t get into at all this year! Good luck hopefully we will both be able to get our legs out soon 😊
Yu are not a let down! Stop giving yourself a hard time and beating yourself up! I know exactly how you feel but life is for enjoying, your allowed off days, just sweep it under the carpet and start a fresh the following day 😌 If you stress yourself out about it, it'll make it 10x harder!! Keep hoping girl, you got this 💪🙌😍
Life happens sometimes don't beat yourself up, I think you are doing amazing and you help me. Getting your head in the game is the hardest part but you / we are only human just take each day at a time x
Hi Charlotte, don't be so hard on yourself. You are a busy working mum and you are putting pressure on yourself to be a certain way. Just make a few healthy tweaks and you will get the weight loss you want. Keep up the vlogs I enjoy watching themxx
I started slimming world about 6weeks after you started the 1st time and lost 4stone in a year currently i am 6 stone down it takes time, its a healthy lifestyle for life and every half a pound counts...its off and thats what matters weight fluctuates. by the way i think your doing great im loving the meal plan videos and wpuld love to see a few 'what i eat in a day' videos. xxx
Don't feel useless. You're human like everybody else. I've been up and down with my weight loss on sw for the last while and it does come down to mind set. I know the plan, know it works, what to do egg but just can't get my head in the right spsce. You're videos help keep me going though. Stay positive xx
Well done for being so honest. I had my second baby just after you in April and I am really struggling but have shifted first half stone with Sw. Tomorrow is another day xxx
Don’t worry Charlotte, you’re not annoying! Everyone has on and off weeks. Take some time for yourself for some self care even if it’s only a nice hot bath. Chin up and keep going. You got this xxx
This is my 3rd attempt at slimming world after baby 2 and it’s the first time I feel ‘ready’, I was my own worst enemy the first 2 times and watching your videos has motivated me to do this but still enjoy life at the same time and I will get there eventually! Some of my favourite quick meals are just a roasted chicken breast with syn free gravy and chips/veg, pizza chicken (when you split the breast and put your toppings on it) and Cajun quorn pasta -fry some garlic with Cajun spice, throw in quorn and whatever veg, add passata and a stock pot and then mix it with your cooked pasta! X
Your doing great, everyone has good and bad weeks and life happens, you look bloody amazing and don’t be too hard on yourself, I’ve had several bad weeks where I feel unmotivated but as long as you get back on it when you can you’ll be fine ❤️
I'd like the fact that you are real and you do videos like this. I feel like I'm a normal mum too now and not some psycho so insecure all the time about how my body looks. Chin up Hun your beautiful!!! Xx
You are doing an awesome job. You are not useless.. You have 3 kids and its fair enough if you dont always feel like dieting!!! My youngest is 2 weeks younger than Stan and i just feel like eating biscuits most of the time so its not just you!! You'll get there.. Dont be so hard on yourself xx
awww Charlotte you have so much going on. please try to be kind to urself. u look gorgeous. good luck with your journey. u can do this. . this too shall pass. of course u can do this. just believe in urself.
Stop beating yourself up woman!! You’re planning carefully and you are focused deep down or you’d not have bought all that sw friendly food! I’ve lost almost 7 stone in 16 months following sw and although I’ve been very focused and had a third baby during that time, I do still struggle occasionally! It’s normal! I’ve got another stone until I’m at target, like you, and it’s so much harder to shift the closer your get! It’s not about which route you take, it’s about getting there in the end 😘 xx
I enjoy your videos. I'm just listening to everything you are dealing with and wondering if the pressure of making these videos is facilitating the anxiety and pressure. The stress hormone cortisol also makes weight loss harder. Maybe comsider taking a video/social media break. Focus on your family, you and come back when you have the energy. Xx
*virtual hug* take a breath, and relax. step back and look at everything you currently have in your life going on, you’re not failing in any sense of the word! you’re doing an amazing job! Remember you’re still in recovery from having a baby, with the added stress of already being Mum to 2 and a job to maintain, let alone the household itself! Weight loss will come, slow and steady wins the race as they say - also when you’re stressed your body naturally holds onto fat reserves, which isn’t helpful! Hope you feel more confident soon, Xx
Hi Charlotte you should not worry you look amazing and you are a mum and not always got your mind on slimming your family comes first just take it one day at a time it is not a race you will know when you are ready to do it l think water is helpful l drink so much a day good luck for next week have a lovely weekend x
Hey there, you are absolutely not being realistic with yourself, because you look amazing!! Ok so there's a stone to go, I have 3 to go, one down. To keep me on track I bought a very pretty food diary off Amazon and am also logging my calories on MyFitnessPal, and am trying to keep within my syns and under my calorie goal. It's really helping! Hope that helps x
You are doing great. You have a v young baby and 2 others. Don’t call yourself useless. Having friends and going out is great but I know it gets in the way sometimes. Hang in there you are so close
Hi Charlotte, please don't try the Cambridge Diet. All that will happen is that you will lose lots of weight and get to your target quickly but as soon as you start eating normally again it will all go back on plus more on top and you really will feel bad. Keep going on Slimming World, even if it takes longer to loose the weight this time. I always struggle during the Summer months to lose weight as I seem to be out and about more then. Sending you big hugs x
georgia weatherstone what have they said about doing it while pregnant? I’m 14 weeks pregnant n struggling to stick to plan, no longer at my group cuz I don’t see the point in paying to go while pregnant x
Don’t be too hard on yourself! You have 3 children. Everyone’s journey is different! For Stanley have you tried thickening powder for his milk? Can get carobel powder which you add to the bottles. Or there is reflux milks. I use reflux milk for ruby 👍🏻xx
Hi Charlotte, your honesty really is inspiring to me....never mind your weight loss! Be you, be real and the weight loss will come. You're doing amazingly well and sometimes the plan doesn't always work 100% as we all slip a little of track. Just stay motivated and know you'll get your end result soon! Nat xx
Stop apologising lovely, your only human and are doing a fab job of being a mum and sometimes life’s not easy! I’m struggling too this is my second time doing it I’m getting married in May and really want to feel good about myself but I’m not finding it easy right now compared to the first time round it’s nice to know I’m not the only one. We can do this!
I know exactly how you feel! I've tried calorie counting with the 'my fitness pal' app an it's working but it's slow and my friend has done the keto diet and she's dropped nearly two stone in the same time it's taken me to lose half of one but I just don't really like meat that much and I think i would really struggle with it. I've done slimming world before too years ago when it was red day/green day and i loved it but I have tried it since and it just couldn't get used to the extra easy stuff and ended up putting weight on! I'm just going to persevere until my holidays and then maybe try something else.
Everyone struggles. I am 8wpp and feel so insecure about my body, after our vacation (starts tomorrow) I am ready to focus on losing. I lost 40lbs a few years ago and managed to keep it off until I started focusing on keeping a pregnancy. Now I am back to where I was before I lost the weight. I try to eat a really filling breakfast like eggs and veggies and a protein, a big salad for lunch with fruit on the side, snack on nuts/rice cakes/hummus/guacamole/etc. dinner we do a protein chicken or fish usually, a veggie and either a starch or a grain. Dessert I have a popsicle. I still will drink occasionally but that will probably be way less than before since I have a newborn. I also was a big runner before pregnancy but have lost ALL stamina and tone so I will be starting with couch 2 5k again and working on that.
I’m so happy the kids’ appointments went well, nothing worse than mummy stress! I’m only half way through the video so far but I wanted to stop and say that you are absolutely gorgeous, Charlotte! Honestly, your makeup is so fresh and glowy and your hair is really cute today and I am loving this whole look! You’re a super beautiful woman, a great mother and you will succeed in whatever you set your mind to! Weight loss is hard! I’ve done the yo-yo thing for years, lost 20kg here and here and finally got gastric sleeve and lost 46kg (about 100lbs) 3 years ago. I’m pregnant with my fourth baby now and I’m struggling more than ever with the weight gain and my changing body. I know I can get back to where I was again but the thought of this massive weight loss challenge I’m going to have ahead of me is daunting! As you know, weight loss isn’t linear and it can go up and down but we just need to keep plodding along. I believe in you! Sending love to you and your beautiful family x
Charlotte thanks for sharing this video with us all! I‘m struggling big time too, feel useless and think Why can everyone else loose weight except me! Now I feel a lot less alone
You can do it!! Your already doing great! You inspire me to keep going. Im 11 weeks postpartum and 3 weeks into my slimming world journey. Always look forward to your videos. 😊
Please don’t ever feel a let down! You are very real. I have been doing slimming world for a few months now. The first month i stuck to it really well, was really motivated and now it’s really hard getting the last bit off and to be honest I’m just craving loads of carbs and take aways all the time 😩 x
you are far from a let down my lovely you are amazing inside an out and beautiful I would love you as my friend keep your head held high your kicking ass xxx
Awww big hugs huni and I'm certain that you can do it but you have a lot to deal with so yes you do need to stop giving yourself a hard time but I do know that's easier said than done.You really do look fab hun .xx
Even though your not motivated at the moment you defo motivate me every day to keep trying it sounds mad I think in the morning I wonder what charlotte eating! X
oh sweetheart you made my heart hurt ! you are gorgeous both as a person and physically! please don't give yourself such a hard time. look what your body has done - made 3 beautiful babies! one so recently! you will get where you want to and we're all here for you xxx
You're doing a healthy plan, it takes time. More dramatic diets are quick but not sustainable. In the long run you will hit target and keep it off, as you've developed healthy eating habits. Everyone told me 9 months to make a baby, at least 9 months to lose the baby weight. In fact I only really started losing weight after 9 months.
Love your hair in this! Totally feeling spice girls vibes haha You look great, you have an amazing personality and doting mum.. you don't need to be an inspiration weight wise all the time; I think most of us value your honesty much more! You have a huge load of stress and demands and keep enjoying this time with friends and family, you will feel better soon I'm sure. I don't know personally but can this be a bit hormonal rubbishness? Chin up buttercup, you are still doing great and we all go through this type of thing. Its normal :)
I know exactly how u feel charlotte. I have been exactly the same with SW. Just cant do it. Dont know why. I go on holiday in 7 weeks. But, ive just decided that im not going to get into a flap, im going to NOT diet, im going to have a treat if i bloody want it!!😀 im fed up starting and stopping! My will power is s__t!! Your a lovely girl! Soooo pretty. We will do it Charlotte. We will. Cmon. Lets do this. Lets get our heads on, you keep doing ur vlogs, on any subject u like, i will keep watching, coz when i see you, i see me...u say, how i feel. Lets do this. Xxx
Love the way you come across. I am struggling too and we can do this together you have inspired me so many times I hope we can both get into gear. I have only seven pounds to go but am yoyoing and it has really taken my wind out of my sails. Hope we both have a positive and productive week. I hope you are feeling better about yourself really soon. xx
Don’t feel bad or a let down! It’s actually helpful in a way to see that not everyone finds it easy. If you only showed us the good bits I’d be thinking I was a failure for not getting amazing results with SW. I joined years ago when I was 17 and lost 3 stones over 2 years, but it’s gone back on and now I’m back, though in my first week I’ve only lost 0.5lbs. I did have one meal out but apart from that thought I’d been ok, so was pretty disappointed because being on it 100% is really hard for me and I’m just not the kind of person that loves eating fruit and veg. Plus I just want to be able to shove junk in my mouth and get away with it, but I’m not. I’m desperate to be even halfway to where I was before but tying to stick with it for long enough to see results is really hard. But we’ve just got to stick with it. I think you look lovely and you have a much more hectic life than me so hats off to you. Keep going and I’ll try to do the same xx
Sending you hugs Charlotte! I don't know anyone that's not struggling with their weight this summer. Must be something in the air. Please go easy on yourself, life is very hard with 3 young kids. There's no 'me' time, I've been there xxx
You've motivated me to start meal planning and cooking slimming world healthy stuff! I'm 3 months post partum now and have been following you all through my pregnancy. Great to see how well you and Stanley are doing! Also Aptamil anti reflux has been a godsend for sorting out my baby's reflux 👍
Hey your a true mamma dnt feel bad bless the kids have you tried propping Stanley matress up try to feed him small amounts more often ive been advised to ween my baby because if reflux it breaks my heart when i breastfeed or express then she vomits😂
Please don't feel disappointed in yourself, you're a parent of 3 this time around, less time to plan/prep etc. You've done it before and can do it again!x
I’m on a low carb way of eating I’ve found out carbs are the worst for me I’ve lost 9kg so far but I do have cheat days because it’s not a diet it’s my way of eating and I may put on but I take it off again it’s up and down but in the end down more than up just slower but I’m happy with that
I don’t really have any advice but I would like to say, don’t be so hard on yourself. I love your videos regardless of whether you have lost or gained and losing weight is hard work. As mums sometimes other stuff just comes first and it is definitely a mental game. Be kind to yourself- we are always so hard on ourselves but we wouldn’t be that hard on our loved ones.
wow you look absolutely stunning in this video i love ur makeup💜 dont be too hard on yourself ur doing amazing considerin how much you have on and stuff 🎀 xxx
I can relate to this sooooo much! 10 months after my 3rd being born and I just cannot motivate myself 😩 hate my body now even though I’m not huge I just hate dressing myself! I need to loose around a stone too but I’m just not there! Love you Charlotte :) xx
How you feel about your body doesn’t say anything about your personality- you’re not useless. Is there anything you can do to improve your confidence until you get to target? Maybe try some hypnosis ones on YT (there used to be a Paul McKenna) one that I’d listen to if I was feeling low. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other in terms of SW until you’re feeling more motivated. Maybe you’re just missing the support of your weekly meetings but I would say you’re pressuring yourself to try and motivate yourself and that’s making you feel crap. I used to have body dysmorphia and would have panic attacks and run out of rooms and honestly it’s not much better now, but everything they teach you is how your own mindset isn’t affected by external factors, e.g. if you’re insecure about something then changing that won’t make that low self worth go away, which is why people end up having lots of surgery because they think it’ll make them happier but it doesn’t. I guess what I’m trying to say is maybe work on you’re own feelings so you can feel more positive until you get to target. Your feelings about you feeling fat are your perception which only you can control which is the frustrating thing but maybe hypnosis videos may work or maybe it’s just a low spell. Hope you feel better soon.
Charlotte your not a useless let down you have had a lot of stress with children’s hospital appointments and you have to live life and enjoy yourself as well. Life is for living. Don’t know go to a social event. It’s been the best summer ever this year and you have to enjoy. I can see a difference in you. Your red dress and yellow dress look fab on you. I left a recipe for no carb lasagna on your last video where you did a food shop. xx
Hi Charlotte you are such a star and you make us all feel in it together it's perfectly normal to have ups and downs! I love following Emma at the starving bridesmaid on Facebook she is a real star like yourself following slimming world xx
Don’t feel useless because you haven’t lost a lot or missed a week. That’s completely realistic to SO many people. You’ll get there! Sending lots of love xx
I think it’s good when you show that you haven’t had a good week / month whatever because we all have them , I personally wouldn’t want to keep watching if you was perfect all the time because that would make me feel bad when I have a bad day/ week ! ♥️
please dont say your useless ,your only human like most of us on here ,we are not all perfect and can only do our best , look how far you have come and all the people you help on here , especially me , i have lost 17 lbs so far , so keep motivated and look forward to a loss next week :)
is there any other slimming world youtubers that people recommend ? I've recently started slimming world and am now delving into the slimming community of youtube!
It’s taken me 22 weeks! BUT I got my 1 stone award last week and my club 10 this week! I’m really nervous about going on holiday though now as I don’t want to undo all of my hard work :/ xx
Hi Charlotte its OK I fill just like you hun I am 5dsys over due but I have a thord told problem and yh you have your ups and downs you can try a chicken fried rice hun I have a cook up for hethay eating I can send you one
Charlotte, you need to give yourself a break!!!! Please remind yourself you have just had baby 3. It doesn't come off as easy 3rd time round and your only 4months post partum. I guarantee you when little Stanley is 6 months your body will change. My baby 3 is 17months and it is hard. The deep deprivation gets you even if you don't feel it when you are in it. You look great and I really would love you to let yourself off a bit. Much love.xxxxx
Oooo you silly sausage ... I watch you because your real huni... you struggle sometimes and so do I .. two weeks ago I wanted to give up ... couldn’t do it ...couldn’t focus on the plan .. I upset myself by beating myself up.... had a week chocolate binge then ..... pop ... Something happened and I woke up wanting to eat the sw way again...I’ll send the little fairy over to you sweet pea 🧚♀️......please don’t beat yourself up... your stunning / beautiful ... and a Wonderful mommy 💕...go with the flow at the moment and sw fairy will be with you shortly xx 🤣
Hi Charlotte, don't give yourself a hard time. You are doing amazing, I love watching your videos as I get lot from them, you are my inspiration. If you want to check out on my channel I made Greek salad this week, it is quick and easy and great for this hot weather we are having right now. Like you said Slimming World is easily adapted into your life so don't look at other diet it will work for you this time as well. Have a great week xxx
hi Charlotte you are doing brilliantly you eyes sparkle you have 3 fantastic kids are wonderful husband you look stunning in all your clothes ypu never stop being a mum is a full time job keep going love love your videos
please do videos regardless of your weight loss because it makes me feel normal! I joined slimming world after watching your videos, I've lost 11.5lbs so far and have 2 stone to go. You keep me so motivated - do not feel bad for the bad weeks, they are there to learn from. Go easy on yourself!
so agree we need to see he up's and downs! I am vlogging my journey and it can be up and down and people need to be able to relate!! xx
Don’t beat yourself up you are human! It’s actually so refreshing to see someone having the same struggles as so many of us! Your beautiful girl don’t forget that. Love your videos and your gorgeous family xx

Please don’t be so hard on yourself Charlotte,you are not useless you are a beautiful mother with 3 gorgeous children.it is difficult when you have a young family and life gets in the way.up to now I have lost over 2 stones but it has taken me about 18 months and I think if you lose it slowly you have more chance of keeping it off long term.take the pressure off yourself and aim just to lose a pound or less every week.I know it knocks your confidence when clothes don’t fit but you will get there trust me ! Wishing you the best of luck x
You can do this!! I have just joined slimming world and have my first weigh in on Monday. My husband and kids are eating a chinese takeaway and I am making myself some spicy chicken. It's all about choices you are in control even when you don't feel like it. You have had a stressful week and Stanley is so young you shouldn't put too much pressure on yourself. You motivated me to join. Everyone has bad days we can do this and have the freedom to wear shorts in the summer lol. Sending you positive thoughts and hugs xxxx
I hate how hard you are on yourself, but love how real you are. We all go through the same phases every so often! Glad you are sticking with it rather than throwing in the towel when it gets hard!
Your fab and inspiring even when your not truely feeling it!
What a honest video! We all get these days, weeks, months where we can’t loose as much weight as we like and just makes us feel useless you look fab carry on with what your doing! You will get to your goal x
OMG Charlotte you are anything but a let down - I love love how real and true your videos and journey is! You are awesome and always will inspire me no matter what!
You're doing so well, try not to let it get you down. You're doing it slowly & it will come off. It's good you're enjoying yourself with friends as that's what keeps you sane when you're a mum! Keep going, you'll get there. Lots of love xxx
Charlotte, you WILL get there. You’re just having a moment. Try not to beat yourself up too much. You really have quite a lot on your plate so it’s no wonder that you are feeling this way. I did want to comment on a possible helpful tip for Stanley’s reflux. Not sure if it applies, but here goes. When my babies were young, I literally put a brick under each leg of the top of their crib so that they slept at a tilted angle. It really helped w/ ear infections & it could possibly help w/ reflux. If nothing else, it might make him a little more comfortable while he is lying down. It’s just a thought I had while watching so I thought I would mention it. Hang in there. We are all rooting for you & sending you good vibes!
You’re not a let down. Honesty is more admirable and inspiring to me than some phony facade put on for TH-cam. I hope you start to feel better and feel more positive. Take each day as it comes and be kind with yourself ♥️♥️♥️
I’m very insecure as well and I completely relate with this.
Charlotte don't beat yourself up. You're doing great, life is for living and enjoying the moment and you seem to have a good handle on all aspects of your busy life. And when it all gets too much enjoy your "dream moments of prosecco hot tub and sunshine" ❤
Haha I was singing the HSM song too! You're not a big useless letdown, you're real and down-to-earth and we can all identify with the ups and downs of a weightloss journey. Keep going and keep making these fab videos. Px
Well done for filming even when you’re not feeling positive at this point in your journey. As you said, you will get there. It sounds like you’ve got a LOT on and you need to cut yourself some slack.

Charlotte you are NOT a let down ! We all struggle with one thing or another but it’s the way we deal with our issues that make us who we are. You are a lovely person and you will get to where you want to be. Don’t be so hard on yourself 😚 x
I’m so right here with you! Couldn’t agree more with what you said here! Just can’t get into at all this year! Good luck hopefully we will both be able to get our legs out soon 😊
I watch channel mum every week. Your spirit is amazing! Me and my wife are 26 weeks! Thanks so much!
Yu are not a let down! Stop giving yourself a hard time and beating yourself up! I know exactly how you feel but life is for enjoying, your allowed off days, just sweep it under the carpet and start a fresh the following day 😌 If you stress yourself out about it, it'll make it 10x harder!! Keep hoping girl, you got this 💪🙌😍
Life happens sometimes don't beat yourself up, I think you are doing amazing and you help me. Getting your head in the game is the hardest part but you / we are only human just take each day at a time x
Hi Charlotte, don't be so hard on yourself. You are a busy working mum and you are putting pressure on yourself to be a certain way. Just make a few healthy tweaks and you will get the weight loss you want. Keep up the vlogs I enjoy watching themxx
Just keep it up girl! It's all about consistency and as long as your eating healthy and exercising you will see results.
I started slimming world about 6weeks after you started the 1st time and lost 4stone in a year currently i am 6 stone down it takes time, its a healthy lifestyle for life and every half a pound counts...its off and thats what matters weight fluctuates.
by the way i think your doing great im loving the meal plan videos and wpuld love to see a few 'what i eat in a day' videos. xxx
Don't feel useless. You're human like everybody else. I've been up and down with my weight loss on sw for the last while and it does come down to mind set. I know the plan, know it works, what to do egg but just can't get my head in the right spsce. You're videos help keep me going though. Stay positive xx
Well done for being so honest. I had my second baby just after you in April and I am really struggling but have shifted first half stone with Sw. Tomorrow is another day xxx
Don't be hard in yourself your a mum of 3 work full time, you will do this at your own pace :) your an inspiration x
Don’t worry Charlotte, you’re not annoying! Everyone has on and off weeks. Take some time for yourself for some self care even if it’s only a nice hot bath. Chin up and keep going. You got this xxx
This is my 3rd attempt at slimming world after baby 2 and it’s the first time I feel ‘ready’, I was my own worst enemy the first 2 times and watching your videos has motivated me to do this but still enjoy life at the same time and I will get there eventually! Some of my favourite quick meals are just a roasted chicken breast with syn free gravy and chips/veg, pizza chicken (when you split the breast and put your toppings on it) and Cajun quorn pasta -fry some garlic with Cajun spice, throw in quorn and whatever veg, add passata and a stock pot and then mix it with your cooked pasta! X
Your doing great, everyone has good and bad weeks and life happens, you look bloody amazing and don’t be too hard on yourself, I’ve had several bad weeks where I feel unmotivated but as long as you get back on it when you can you’ll be fine ❤️
I'd like the fact that you are real and you do videos like this. I feel like I'm a normal mum too now and not some psycho so insecure all the time about how my body looks. Chin up Hun your beautiful!!! Xx
I'm so motivated to do slimming world after watching videos you got this gorl
Love ur slimming world videos. Can you do more ‘what i eat on a day’ videos? So good for getting ideas. Xx
You are doing an awesome job. You are not useless.. You have 3 kids and its fair enough if you dont always feel like dieting!!! My youngest is 2 weeks younger than Stan and i just feel like eating biscuits most of the time so its not just you!! You'll get there.. Dont be so hard on yourself xx
Your doing really well. Well done❤
awww Charlotte you have so much going on. please try to be kind to urself. u look gorgeous. good luck with your journey. u can do this. . this too shall pass. of course u can do this. just believe in urself.
Don't be so hard on yourself you are amazing. You look beautiful and are doing a fantastic job x
Stop beating yourself up woman!! You’re planning carefully and you are focused deep down or you’d not have bought all that sw friendly food!
I’ve lost almost 7 stone in 16 months following sw and although I’ve been very focused and had a third baby during that time, I do still struggle occasionally! It’s normal! I’ve got another stone until I’m at target, like you, and it’s so much harder to shift the closer your get!
It’s not about which route you take, it’s about getting there in the end 😘 xx
I enjoy your videos. I'm just listening to everything you are dealing with and wondering if the pressure of making these videos is facilitating the anxiety and pressure. The stress hormone cortisol also makes weight loss harder. Maybe comsider taking a video/social media break. Focus on your family, you and come back when you have the energy. Xx
don't be too hard on yourself! life gets in the way, you will get there.
*virtual hug* take a breath, and relax. step back and look at everything you currently have in your life going on, you’re not failing in any sense of the word! you’re doing an amazing job! Remember you’re still in recovery from having a baby, with the added stress of already being Mum to 2 and a job to maintain, let alone the household itself! Weight loss will come, slow and steady wins the race as they say - also when you’re stressed your body naturally holds onto fat reserves, which isn’t helpful! Hope you feel more confident soon, Xx
I know how you feel! Hope you are feeling better soon.
Hi Charlotte you should not worry you look amazing and you are a mum and not always got your mind on slimming your family comes first just take it one day at a time it is not a race you will know when you are ready to do it l think water is helpful l drink so much a day good luck for next week have a lovely weekend x
Hey there, you are absolutely not being realistic with yourself, because you look amazing!! Ok so there's a stone to go, I have 3 to go, one down. To keep me on track I bought a very pretty food diary off Amazon and am also logging my calories on MyFitnessPal, and am trying to keep within my syns and under my calorie goal. It's really helping! Hope that helps x
You are doing great. You have a v young baby and 2 others. Don’t call yourself useless. Having friends and going out is great but I know it gets in the way sometimes. Hang in there you are so close
Hi Charlotte, please don't try the Cambridge Diet. All that will happen is that you will lose lots of weight and get to your target quickly but as soon as you start eating normally again it will all go back on plus more on top and you really will feel bad. Keep going on Slimming World, even if it takes longer to loose the weight this time. I always struggle during the Summer months to lose weight as I seem to be out and about more then. Sending you big hugs x
Ease up on yourself lovely, you are beautiful inside and out! Xx
I know exactly how you’re feeling! I’ve rejoined today 27 weeks pregnant today. Xx
georgia weatherstone what have they said about doing it while pregnant? I’m 14 weeks pregnant n struggling to stick to plan, no longer at my group cuz I don’t see the point in paying to go while pregnant x
Your doing brilliant hun, everyone has off days xx
Don’t be too hard on yourself! You have 3 children. Everyone’s journey is different! For Stanley have you tried thickening powder for his milk? Can get carobel powder which you add to the bottles. Or there is reflux milks. I use reflux milk for ruby 👍🏻xx
Hi Charlotte, your honesty really is inspiring to me....never mind your weight loss! Be you, be real and the weight loss will come. You're doing amazingly well and sometimes the plan doesn't always work 100% as we all slip a little of track. Just stay motivated and know you'll get your end result soon! Nat xx
Stop apologising lovely, your only human and are doing a fab job of being a mum and sometimes life’s not easy! I’m struggling too this is my second time doing it I’m getting married in May and really want to feel good about myself but I’m not finding it easy right now compared to the first time round it’s nice to know I’m not the only one. We can do this!
Transparency is good! Many of us have up and down weeks.
I know exactly how you feel! I've tried calorie counting with the 'my fitness pal' app an it's working but it's slow and my friend has done the keto diet and she's dropped nearly two stone in the same time it's taken me to lose half of one but I just don't really like meat that much and I think i would really struggle with it. I've done slimming world before too years ago when it was red day/green day and i loved it but I have tried it since and it just couldn't get used to the extra easy stuff and ended up putting weight on! I'm just going to persevere until my holidays and then maybe try something else.
Everyone struggles. I am 8wpp and feel so insecure about my body, after our vacation (starts tomorrow) I am ready to focus on losing. I lost 40lbs a few years ago and managed to keep it off until I started focusing on keeping a pregnancy. Now I am back to where I was before I lost the weight. I try to eat a really filling breakfast like eggs and veggies and a protein, a big salad for lunch with fruit on the side, snack on nuts/rice cakes/hummus/guacamole/etc. dinner we do a protein chicken or fish usually, a veggie and either a starch or a grain. Dessert I have a popsicle. I still will drink occasionally but that will probably be way less than before since I have a newborn. I also was a big runner before pregnancy but have lost ALL stamina and tone so I will be starting with couch 2 5k again and working on that.
I’m so happy the kids’ appointments went well, nothing worse than mummy stress!
I’m only half way through the video so far but I wanted to stop and say that you are absolutely gorgeous, Charlotte! Honestly, your makeup is so fresh and glowy and your hair is really cute today and I am loving this whole look! You’re a super beautiful woman, a great mother and you will succeed in whatever you set your mind to!
Weight loss is hard! I’ve done the yo-yo thing for years, lost 20kg here and here and finally got gastric sleeve and lost 46kg (about 100lbs) 3 years ago. I’m pregnant with my fourth baby now and I’m struggling more than ever with the weight gain and my changing body. I know I can get back to where I was again but the thought of this massive weight loss challenge I’m going to have ahead of me is daunting! As you know, weight loss isn’t linear and it can go up and down but we just need to keep plodding along. I believe in you!
Sending love to you and your beautiful family x
Charlotte thanks for sharing this video with us all! I‘m struggling big time too, feel useless and think Why can everyone else loose weight except me! Now I feel a lot less alone
You can do it!! Your already doing great! You inspire me to keep going. Im 11 weeks postpartum and 3 weeks into my slimming world journey. Always look forward to your videos. 😊
Stop saying sorry, your doing ur best whilst bringing up 3 beautiful children. Your get there xxx
Please don’t ever feel a let down! You are very real. I have been doing slimming world for a few months now. The first month i stuck to it really well, was really motivated and now it’s really hard getting the last bit off and to be honest I’m just craving loads of carbs and take aways all the time 😩 x
you are far from a let down my lovely you are amazing inside an out and beautiful I would love you as my friend keep your head held high your kicking ass xxx
Don't be hard on yourself your doing great x
Awww big hugs huni and I'm certain that you can do it but you have a lot to deal with so yes you do need to stop giving yourself a hard time but I do know that's easier said than done.You really do look fab hun .xx
I enjoy your TH-cam channels
Even though your not motivated at the moment you defo motivate me every day to keep trying it sounds mad I think in the morning I wonder what charlotte eating! X
oh sweetheart you made my heart hurt ! you are gorgeous both as a person and physically! please don't give yourself such a hard time. look what your body has done - made 3 beautiful babies! one so recently! you will get where you want to and we're all here for you xxx
You're doing a healthy plan, it takes time. More dramatic diets are quick but not sustainable. In the long run you will hit target and keep it off, as you've developed healthy eating habits. Everyone told me 9 months to make a baby, at least 9 months to lose the baby weight. In fact I only really started losing weight after 9 months.
Love your hair in this! Totally feeling spice girls vibes haha
You look great, you have an amazing personality and doting mum.. you don't need to be an inspiration weight wise all the time; I think most of us value your honesty much more!
You have a huge load of stress and demands and keep enjoying this time with friends and family, you will feel better soon I'm sure. I don't know personally but can this be a bit hormonal rubbishness?
Chin up buttercup, you are still doing great and we all go through this type of thing. Its normal :)
I know exactly how u feel charlotte. I have been exactly the same with SW. Just cant do it. Dont know why. I go on holiday in 7 weeks. But, ive just decided that im not going to get into a flap, im going to NOT diet, im going to have a treat if i bloody want it!!😀 im fed up starting and stopping! My will power is s__t!! Your a lovely girl! Soooo pretty. We will do it Charlotte. We will. Cmon. Lets do this. Lets get our heads on, you keep doing ur vlogs, on any subject u like, i will keep watching, coz when i see you, i see me...u say, how i feel. Lets do this. Xxx
Love the way you come across. I am struggling too and we can do this together you have inspired me so many times I hope we can both get into gear. I have only seven pounds to go but am yoyoing and it has really taken my wind out of my sails. Hope we both have a positive and productive week. I hope you are feeling better about yourself really soon. xx
Don’t feel bad or a let down! It’s actually helpful in a way to see that not everyone finds it easy. If you only showed us the good bits I’d be thinking I was a failure for not getting amazing results with SW. I joined years ago when I was 17 and lost 3 stones over 2 years, but it’s gone back on and now I’m back, though in my first week I’ve only lost 0.5lbs. I did have one meal out but apart from that thought I’d been ok, so was pretty disappointed because being on it 100% is really hard for me and I’m just not the kind of person that loves eating fruit and veg. Plus I just want to be able to shove junk in my mouth and get away with it, but I’m not. I’m desperate to be even halfway to where I was before but tying to stick with it for long enough to see results is really hard. But we’ve just got to stick with it. I think you look lovely and you have a much more hectic life than me so hats off to you. Keep going and I’ll try to do the same xx
Sending you hugs Charlotte! I don't know anyone that's not struggling with their weight this summer. Must be something in the air. Please go easy on yourself, life is very hard with 3 young kids. There's no 'me' time, I've been there xxx
Charlotte your videos are my favorite and you are so beautiful! You're doing great :)
You've motivated me to start meal planning and cooking slimming world healthy stuff! I'm 3 months post partum now and have been following you all through my pregnancy. Great to see how well you and Stanley are doing! Also Aptamil anti reflux has been a godsend for sorting out my baby's reflux 👍
You are not useless, you are human and we love you for it. Thank you for being so real and you will get there xxx
Hey your a true mamma dnt feel bad bless the kids have you tried propping Stanley matress up try to feed him small amounts more often ive been advised to ween my baby because if reflux it breaks my heart when i breastfeed or express then she vomits😂
Please don't feel disappointed in yourself, you're a parent of 3 this time around, less time to plan/prep etc. You've done it before and can do it again!x
I’m on a low carb way of eating I’ve found out carbs are the worst for me I’ve lost 9kg so far but I do have cheat days because it’s not a diet it’s my way of eating and I may put on but I take it off again it’s up and down but in the end down more than up just slower but I’m happy with that
You can do this and you are not useless x
Just found your channel, love the videos!
I don’t really have any advice but I would like to say, don’t be so hard on yourself. I love your videos regardless of whether you have lost or gained and losing weight is hard work. As mums sometimes other stuff just comes first and it is definitely a mental game. Be kind to yourself- we are always so hard on ourselves but we wouldn’t be that hard on our loved ones.
wow you look absolutely stunning in this video i love ur makeup💜 dont be too hard on yourself ur doing amazing considerin how much you have on and stuff 🎀 xxx
ps im not feelin it this week either ur not alone💜keep ur chin up im sure u will smash it next week
I can relate to this sooooo much! 10 months after my 3rd being born and I just cannot motivate myself 😩 hate my body now even though I’m not huge I just hate dressing myself! I need to loose around a stone too but I’m just not there! Love you Charlotte :) xx
How you feel about your body doesn’t say anything about your personality- you’re not useless. Is there anything you can do to improve your confidence until you get to target? Maybe try some hypnosis ones on YT (there used to be a Paul McKenna) one that I’d listen to if I was feeling low. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other in terms of SW until you’re feeling more motivated. Maybe you’re just missing the support of your weekly meetings but I would say you’re pressuring yourself to try and motivate yourself and that’s making you feel crap. I used to have body dysmorphia and would have panic attacks and run out of rooms and honestly it’s not much better now, but everything they teach you is how your own mindset isn’t affected by external factors, e.g. if you’re insecure about something then changing that won’t make that low self worth go away, which is why people end up having lots of surgery because they think it’ll make them happier but it doesn’t. I guess what I’m trying to say is maybe work on you’re own feelings so you can feel more positive until you get to target. Your feelings about you feeling fat are your perception which only you can control which is the frustrating thing but maybe hypnosis videos may work or maybe it’s just a low spell. Hope you feel better soon.
Charlotte your not a useless let down you have had a lot of stress with children’s hospital appointments and you have to live life and enjoy yourself as well. Life is for living. Don’t know go to a social event. It’s been the best summer ever this year and you have to enjoy. I can see a difference in you. Your red dress and yellow dress look fab on you. I left a recipe for no carb lasagna on your last video where you did a food shop. xx
Hi Charlotte you are such a star and you make us all feel in it together it's perfectly normal to have ups and downs! I love following Emma at the starving bridesmaid on Facebook she is a real star like yourself following slimming world xx
Don’t feel useless because you haven’t lost a lot or missed a week. That’s completely realistic to SO many people. You’ll get there! Sending lots of love xx
I think it’s good when you show that you haven’t had a good week / month whatever because we all have them , I personally wouldn’t want to keep watching if you was perfect all the time because that would make me feel bad when I have a bad day/ week ! ♥️
Dont feel imbarrassed about ptsd as its resonable for what you went through
Well done on your loss I also lost 1lb this week have a good week x
Mine birthday this Friday after the weekend. Please can I have a shout out
please dont say your useless ,your only human like most of us on here ,we are not all perfect and can only do our best , look how far you have come and all the people you help on here , especially me , i have lost 17 lbs so far , so keep motivated and look forward to a loss next week :)
How could you be a “let down” Being a happy mum is very important. Little steps you’ll get there. Don’t be so hard on yourself xx
is there any other slimming world youtubers that people recommend ? I've recently started slimming world and am now delving into the slimming community of youtube!
Can I jump in and recommend some- katy Jayne SW, Lisa snow, Jane gammons, trim with tan, Gemma’s journey, the livingstones, bayles1986sw 😊
Definitely katiejaynesw she's lost almost 7 stone and has recently become a consultant. wish I lived near her in Hull might motivate me a bit ! X
It’s taken me 22 weeks! BUT I got my 1 stone award last week and my club 10 this week! I’m really nervous about going on holiday though now as I don’t want to undo all of my hard work :/ xx
Just make the best choices along with the best memories and see where you're at the following week. Enjoy your holiday and well done!
Hi Charlotte its OK I fill just like you hun I am 5dsys over due but I have a thord told problem and yh you have your ups and downs you can try a chicken fried rice hun I have a cook up for hethay eating I can send you one
You're not useless, you're human!! No one can be 100% on it all the time. You will find your mojo again don't worry! Xxx
Charlotte, you need to give yourself a break!!!! Please remind yourself you have just had baby 3. It doesn't come off as easy 3rd time round and your only 4months post partum. I guarantee you when little Stanley is 6 months your body will change. My baby 3 is 17months and it is hard. The deep deprivation gets you even if you don't feel it when you are in it. You look great and I really would love you to let yourself off a bit. Much love.xxxxx
Oooo you silly sausage ... I watch you because your real huni... you struggle sometimes and so do I .. two weeks ago I wanted to give up ... couldn’t do it ...couldn’t focus on the plan .. I upset myself by beating myself up.... had a week chocolate binge then ..... pop ... Something happened and I woke up wanting to eat the sw way again...I’ll send the little fairy over to you sweet pea 🧚♀️......please don’t beat yourself up...
your stunning / beautiful ... and a Wonderful mommy 💕...go with the flow at the moment and sw fairy will be with you shortly xx 🤣
Hi Charlotte, don't give yourself a hard time. You are doing amazing, I love watching your videos as I get lot from them, you are my inspiration. If you want to check out on my channel I made Greek salad this week, it is quick and easy and great for this hot weather we are having right now. Like you said Slimming World is easily adapted into your life so don't look at other diet it will work for you this time as well. Have a great week xxx
