Slimming World #2

[ChubClubThug]

I think a good or bad consultant can make or break your slimming world experience. I've done it on and off for over 20 years, when it was red and green days mostly, and I can honestly say I've met about 2 consultants who were any good at the job. The majority of them were thick, brainless, condescending fucktards, who pushed targets (to line their pockets) at any cost. If you can strike gold and find a decent person to guide you, you should have a good experience. When it blew up on instagram and they introduced extra easy it changed for the worse. I think they should vet their consultants a lot more, because a lot of them are about 5 stone over weight themselves and clearly not understanding or following the advice they dish out. But sadly it's all about making money these days. They won't even deal with the the instagram wankers who hijack the plan and deserve to be sued.

I used to attend slimming world but no longer do. I remember overhearing another lady by the scales who couldn’t understand why she had either stayed the same or had a gain that week (can’t remember which one it was). She told the consultant she had upped her “boogie bounce” classes from once to twice a week. The consultant said to go back down to one class a week as her body was in shock!!!! I couldn’t believe what I was hearing!! Absolutely crazy.

"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 fucking 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.

When are people going to realise that having to continually 'draw the line' shows how Slimming Work doesn't work in the long term?

God help, all posing and tagging each other all night. It’s the Struggling Fat Bastards version of the Oscars.

I did SW back in 2012, it was the worst thing I did, I managed to lose about 5 stone but I hardly ate anything just to get my next certificate. We had an evening weigh in so I wouldn’t eat all day and constantly weigh myself before going as I needed the next stone or stone and a half award, I would make myself sit under a towel with a hair dryer just to sweat it out, it was NUTS - totally agree it causes disordered eating, not allowing certain foods unless it’s counted for etc

I'm sorry but sitting under a hairdryer with a towel on your head? How is that slimming worlds fault?

the most ridiculous thing I'll read this year.

Ok that’s quite a lot. Imagine she’s quite uninspiring /dull as a consultant. Sorry hun, but you can’t guilt trip people with a letter saying how much you miss seeing them in group and how you wish they’d come back. People will come back if and when they’re ready to continue their weight loss journey again. Not by a few letters pretending to care

I hate those letters with a passion! I still get them from a certain consultant over 2yrs later I had to block her on WhatsApp! I nearly sent a complaint seeing as she's still retained my data

This Weekend Its The Instagram Wankerthon charity climb where SW Members raise their own profiles whilst pretending to give a fuck about whatever charity has been chosen this year...

the usual suspects, Aaron Snares and his cockwombling friends are all included, they call themselves superheroes.

I Call Them Cunts.

And then uploads stories and say it’s “done me no harm” or “it’s worked for me” but it hasn’t worked for you though has it?

Sorry but the last line of your post I hope you’re making this face

That boothys sw page has done really we and I think her food looks really nice, but it made me so sad to see her taking her soup maker and stuff to Butlins with her family so she could be on plan

To me, you’re not enjoying your life if you’re that worried a few days on holiday will set you back.

 

[Dragondog]

Too hard scanning barcodes to MFP, I’d rather go to the cults app and get spoon fed sins

 

[ChubClubThug]

Can you imagine youre not on Instagram, you happen to go along to your local SW class to join and there are 2 folk sitting there that are being praised as celebs

I can't get over the ego of these people!

you lost a few lbs, you didn't re-write War and Peace or discover radium

This is the thing though with sw. That slice of cake will use 20 syns. Yet they can have bacon, sausage, eggs, potato, beans for free or few syns. Yet the breakfast is 4 times the calories of the cake

And then people wonder why they don't lose

Yeah lol. They're just cherry picking the bits that they want and not really following the plan as intended. Think that's why they had to Syn muller lights because these insta twats were having like 5 at a time


Yes Calorie counting is more flexible, but honestly I can't be arsed with that. To me Slimming World is an ingenious version of calorie counting. Making you choose healthier low calorie foods allowing you to come under your TDEE and lose weight in the process. It also teaches you about the relative "badness" of certain foods and that can still enjoy these foods you like via Syns or one he rare occasion if you need flexi syns. Is it perfect? Heck no , but it does work you just have to want it enough and be in the right mindset.

Harry Prickard version of SW

A normal SW meal, quite the contrast

 

[JustWonderingIf]

Apparently on re-joining SW he had DM's warning him about the long term gaining of weight on SW and how it doesn't work for everyone....
Surely he himself is the biggest advert of that

Also this was his post this time last year...

I think at this point he needs to get away from SW and insta and go to the doctors and get medical help or psychological help for whatever demons he has in his relationship with food.

So that snares has gained nearly 2 stone in a month. Excuse me what the actual fuck??? how is that physically possible?

some of the comments on his post sicken me...

"you got this, you're aaron snares"

who do they think he is?

he's an dishonest, devious, discount code distributing dickhead, thats who he is.

makes me smile how he has gained so much weight, but hasnt posted a single thing of what he's eaten.

he said he hadnt officially weighed since the week after the sw ball and that was a 4.5lb gain, he followed that up with a 7lb gain the week after, both logged on his account, but they werent official weighs now?

it's all smoke and mirrors.

"you're aaron snares"

fuck off.

[theeyeroller]

Gemma B has posted saying she’s lost 5 pounds this month but hadn’t really lost anything the past few months. Fair enough but she couldn’t have been in a deficit for all those months then, which is fine but it’s a bit disingenuous when you’re supposedly a weightloss account flogging overpriced protein porridge and mug cakes to your followers that they don’t need! And she’s been posting constantly as if she was in a deficit. It just annoys me how sneaky all these Instagrammers are. Anything for the swipe ups eh?

 

[ChubClubThug]

The sw gravy out of mushy peas and all sorts is just disgusting and bizarre. Bisto is about 50cals you'd be spending quadruple the cals in an attempt to create "syn free" gravy. Absolute madness!!

 

[Damocles]

fuck me, snares IS piling it back on..he'll be catching his mate beggy ben up soon
