What really irritates me is the ego that some of the slimming world Instagram accounts show there is no need to behave the way they do. I was shown an account of a woman who won woman of the year of mrs slinky and her name is Tasmin who seems very decent, down to earth. Slimming world need more people like that also I can’t find the man of the year or mr sleek for the year anyone know who that is?
She’s great. There was no Mr Sleek publicly announced this year. No idea what happened with it. We only had our group Man Of The Year a few weeks ago, so the main award must still be in the pipeline.

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

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.

"I've lost 30lbs I think I Know What I'm Doing"

I've lost just over 9 stone, and i still don't have a bleeping clue what I'm doing 😂😂

Same! Not 9 stone but 3 (well done BTW, amazing achievement!)

I can tell you one thing though, I didn't lose it by having baked oats covered in chocolate and chocolatey mug cakes every single day! In fact if anything it is eating like that that made me gain the weight in the first place.

Baffled at people who expect to lose significant amounts of weight (and more importantly keep it off) by not changing how and what they eat.

I have so much respect for anyone who makes changes to their diet and lifestyle whether that leads to weight loss or not, but these "influencers" who are disingenuous, mislead and use smoke and mirrors can get in the bin.

And their smugness at somehow hacking the system, whether that system be calorie counting, SW, WW whatever makes me absolutely rage. Just be honest!

Eat more veg, watch your portion sizes, drink more water, don't eat chocolate every single day, go for a walk every now and again. That's all it really comes down to, I reckon, regardless of the name of the diet!

Sorry will get off my soapbox now. Feels good to get it out though 🤣

nicola_gets_slim her and her husband are couple of the year. Why does she dye her hair such an awful colour. She looks different now on her Instagram. I don’t know if she is even thinner now with having weight loss surgery or if it’s photoshopping.

It sounds like she is using a Fitbit or something and taking the calories burned on the watch like it's fact. It's absolutely common knowledge that they are just an estimate and they've been measured to be WAY off. I'm quite active and I walk well over 10k steps just to get to work and back, and even on a day where I've been to the gym and gone to work I'd struggle to see over 2200 on the Fitbit.

I am just convinced that these people are no longer interested in the weight loss and it's just all about that sponsor money on Instagram, without having any guilt over the fact that they are influencing other people to eat like them and buy their crappy products, who will then wonder why they've not lost weight.

I saw her mentioned earlier, but has anyone noticed that Skinny Schedule seems to have stopped posting? I hope she’s okay. She mentioned a health scare a while ago.

On the main SW post about it there was someone who kept commenting about her having surgery, but I'm guessing they were removed PDQ!

ETA, wow still there! Assumed that would have been swiftly removed!
Wow. I'm surprised they didn't remove it
