Slimming World #2

[JustWonderingIf]

How do you gain 18 stone in two years?!?

Funny thing is he posted only healthy meals on his grid over them 2 years.
I think he must have starved himself, heavily restricted and destroyed his metabolism in his initial weightloss. He lost his weight very quickly losing 16.5 stone in only 18 months.
I had a scroll down to see what he ate when in full swing with his weightloss and its easy to see where things are going wrong.
This breakfast is from 2017 when he was losing...

This breakfast is from now..

This spagbol is also from when he was losing...

This spag bol is from now...

The portion difference is massive.
I also suspect hes eating loads of crap he doesn't put on the grid.
Increasing your portions drastically after restricting is never going to be a happy ending.
But yeah 18 stone in 2 years is still fucking crazy.

Nah, she’s fair game. She slams SW but uses their hashtag on all her ads but cleverly hides them in the middle of the comments.

 

[Gossislife]

How can you call anything with a whole camembert in the centre low syn

These people are deluded I actually don't know what they'd do if they just got on with life without their instagram accounts forcing their daily regime on people, like they think they're a Kardashian

 

[MamaD]

His portion sizes are ridiculous! The food should be flat on the plate, not layered on top of each other. He’s missing the point massively! Unfortunately SW doesn’t really teach portion control and the books say things like ‘pile your plate high’ and ‘eat as much of this as you like’

It’s the ‘Slimming World Ball’ in 2 weeks. Lord help us all

Interesting to see how many actually go when they’ve piled the weight back on….!

THIS!!! I cannot stand how people do this and think it’s ok!! Sophie Jude “SW” prime example.

Don't get me started on that one! she stacked on about 2/3 stone... but STILL had the audacity to accept being the poster girl for fat club, way after she'd had her moment of glory and way after she chucked the lard on. I was fuming seeing her mug pop up everywhere! She was not on SW, had NO plans to go back on the diet... now she calorie counts. They only wanted her because she's attractive it really pisses me off how shady they all are

 

[ChampagneBox]

I see Josh Clark has read here and taken the SW out his username…

She may have lost 30lb but that wasn't recent! I honestly cannot fathom HOW she expects to lose weight eating chocolate loaded baked oats and calorie loaded mug cakes every day. She gets really arsey with people when they question her but she is misleading people saying she's losing weight when it is very clear that she isn't.

ah she irritates the shit Out of me honestly!
always says ‘I’ve lost 33lbs so it must work’ yeah Gemma you lost 33lbs LAST year!!!! Not this year!!! So you’re ovb lying

 

[JustWonderingIf]

Whatever happened with them? Where did they go? They were super friendly with Lewis (who does appear to have kept the weight off) then just disappeared?

Both left insta very suddenly after when they were both gaining. He had been getting some heat on here for his portions and she had been also for hiding her gains.
They're both back to their original weights and have gained it all back.
This is from September.

And this is the reason why Gemma-b never loses any weight if she is eating in excess of 2000 cals a day. I am prob a few stone heavier then her, work out 4-5 times a week & do 10k steps per day and after working out my calories to loose weight it is around 1700 a day. She is clearly making it up as she goes along

I lost 6 stone on slimming world! I had my little boy and got really bad PND which resulted in me putting it all back on plus an extra stone. I've tried calorie counting and weight watchers since and I just cant do it! So I'm starting sw again tomorrow because it's the only diet that has worked for me. I actually follow the plan correctly though no biscoff for me!!

I’m a biscoff lover lost all my weight and stayed at target and still continue to have biscoff

 

[rubyred66]

These cnuts are not interested in following the SW plan as it’s actually set out, all they want is likes, spice kits deals and instafame.

I had a fairly large account (8k) and never posted shit like this. I even had no ads/sponsorship in my bio. I got sick of it in the end, the constant arse licking, Princess Planning water bottles, “rubs” and constant Follow Friday’s I deleted the account.

They are the only charity crew that I have seen that promote themselves above the charity they are supposed to care about. The climb was about ego rubbing, Instagram likes and photo opportunities with other self obsessed people. They should have the decency to admit it.

 

[chickennuggssss]

To me, she doesn’t look any slimmer or like she’s lost any weight

 

[FunkyOwl]

I started following a few of these SW insta accounts as I was considering joining online (I’ve changed my mind now). I’m maybe just following the wrong people but it all feels very cliquey and repetitive. Lots of tagging the same people in stories or reposting the same peoples posts to stories and repeat. Also I’ve noticed with quite a few of them that they don’t actually post food pics but it’s all transformation posts or selfies. I like to follow people to look at food

 

[JoeBloggs]

So many SWers will defend it to the death when it is working for them, and then the majority come back down the line admitting how bad it is.

SW fuelled my binge eating and again was the worst thing I did as well.

 

[ChubClubThug]

Does anyone follow boothy_sw_insta? She is on holiday with her family and takes all her kitchen equipment with her. Also everyday saying she cannot wait to get her to eat her own chips??? Seriously enjoy your family time away and stop fussing over bloody slimming world. Its embarrassing

Who takes an actifry to Butlins?

 

[JLXRD]

I feel like Gemma b has her daily calories to lose weight at like 2000 so if she does over estimate I just feel like she has 0 wiggle room before she is at maintenance.

Especially because she seems to take the calories her watch says she burn as gospel when in reality they are probs over estimated.

I do think she looks more toned than in her before pics though.

 

[Cole4343]

Has anyone seen Gemmab.slimming is now doing a personal trainer course?

 

[ChubClubThug]

Id buy a ticket just to watch that

Me too! It would be absolutely brilliant

You wouldn't get near the mothership madge, she'd probably have the men in black spray fry lite in your eyes as soon as you looked at her (syn free pepper spray)

 

[_blahblahblah_]

I do think with SW it all depends on your consultant. Mine is fab - she encourages exercise and is really sensible about what can make you gain or stay the same and doesn’t encourage some of the crazy swaps you see.

It makes me sad that there are some bad consultants out there as I do think SW works (obviously not for everyone) and it seems some are letting the rest down. Agree though that SW do give way too much airtime to some of these influencers who don’t follow it properly and either binge or restrict too much which mess with their results.
