Slimming World #2

[MamaD]

I went back to slimming world with my daughter. The groups were all spread out, face masks on and it wasn’t great. The consultant looked as though she did not want to be there. I am not sure if we will go back or not. The good part was there were no posters of the Instagram celebrities on the wall in suits and ball gowns.

I joined SW, caught COVID a week later (not at the meeting) and I’d paid for a countdown. My consultant text me asking how I was as wasn’t at weigh in, she was like ‘send me your weight’ and then congratulated me on my 9lb loss even though I explained I hadn’t followed SW and had COVID. She never even text back safe to say, I won’t be going back!

I see SlimmingWorldBoy has put up a video talking about his weight gain. I always thought he seemed decent enough.

He does gain big but he is, from what I've seen always honest. He was also honest about needing to take a job in Morrisons when the pandemic hit. Deffo can't knock him for that

I have just restarted Slimming World a month or so ago after CC as I find it more structured for me personally, I don’t use stupid tweeks & don’t overeat food just because SW say there free. I make sensible choices for my meals & snacks & actually find it less stressful then CC & I am loosing weight.

Nice timing. In our last zoom yesterday this was one of the key messages emphasised in a ‘back to basics’ chat that’s supposed to be mirrored in every group.

The consultant said that they had heard from people having a chicken balls and chips Chinese takeaway ‘but then had 2 apples for speed’ as if it was going to cancel it out! Some people are just thick though.

This doesn't surprise me at all. Some SW members really think the foods classified as "speed" are a form of metabolism amphetamine. They believe eating them will speed up their metabolism, and like you said, cancel out other foods.

this is swgoldenzoe, magazine cover star, consultant... is it my eyes or is she on tip toes and her feet not full on the scales properly?

There’s an account that keeps popping up on my page, she only has 3000 followers so I can’t mention her but her meals look soo disordered and disgusting!
She had a baby only a few weeks ago and was literally back on slimming world the next day, I thought it was quite sad that she felt that disordered she had to go straight back on it

 

[Grumpyscotslady]

2st in 5 weeks?! How is that even possible!

More bullshit this morning from aaron snares...

"lockdown did me dirty and I gained 4 stone"

no...you did yourself dirty... YOU AND YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR HOLE.

grow up and fucking own it you walking talking fucking vagina.

I just noticed with Gemma when she does a workout she puts the watch on 'other' rather than a HIIT workout. The 'other' option says it can't recognise calories realistically. If I put my watch on other and sat down and watched TV it would say I have burnt 300 calories in 45 mins
If I do a 45 min HIIT workout on my watch and select HIIT I would probably do about 300 cals. She isn't even slightly overestimating her calories she is massively !

 

[Freckledredhead]

Thefunnymummydoesslimmingworld is having another tantrum because she's got covid and has to isolate with her daughter. People on IG who have lost their children would love nothing more than to have them back and she's complaining that she's only got her daughter to be with and can't see her new man. Seriously. What a total fucking brat. You only need to sit in your fucking house and chill. Some people live in refuges or poky tiny bedsits on top of tower blocks. She's a spoilt selfish fucking idiot.

I’ve seen it all now. Onion pack out mince….

Having done all the plans including calorie counting lots of times, there is nothing about SW that wrecks a relationship with food. That’s entirely on the person doing it and whatever version they think they’re following.

I calorie counted and always ended up starving as I always left myself with way too few calories at the end of the day having used my ‘freedom’ to make stupid choices. That wasn’t the fault of calorie counting though. That was mine alone.

If you think it was insulting, sorry, but that’s my experience. My disordered eating dated from well before my time using any diet. Hence me needing a diet in the first place.


I can disagree with the first part. I don’t even log my syns anymore, so that’s even less time.

That said, I’m 100% on board with the baked oats and biscoff hate. That’s why I’m here.

Completely agree. No part of the plan tells you to starve all day before weigh in, treat night after etc. I hate CC and find it time consuming and stressful. Been there, done them all and SW proved the best for me!

"

That saying gives me irrational rage

hearing "back to basics" makes me want to commit mass genocide.

I like SW & not one for bashing it as it worked for me … but I’ve just heard fresh pasta (not filled) is now free … this does confuse me because calorie wise has anything changed
As much as I like the plan I can’t get my head around changes like this

Just recently gone back to SlimmingWorld. Personally, it’s the easiest way I find to lose weight and keep it off. I lost weight when I was in my 20s, kept it off for 10 years until I had my 1st baby. I’m back again now to lose my 2nd lot of baby weight (only a stone).

I think if you follow it by the book it’s great, but if you copy what the sw insta wankers do it makes it so much harder.

I stick to my free foods and hexa’s then use my syns for 1 or 2 nice things a day rather than a few here and there. Just find it easy to keep track of things that way.

I have to be honest, the only time I have successfully lost weight is on SW. with calorie counting I will find a way to eat 1700 calories of shit before lunchtime and then complain I’m hungry the rest of the day and give up

SW made me eat healthy foods which wouldn’t get a second glance were I CC, however appreciate that is my mindset rather than a problem with CC!

I don’t like Instagram cult culture of either anymore tbh, some people post good healthy SW meals but others just seem to try and find ways to twist it so you can eat unhealthy junk still

Also the main thing I used to find HILARIOUS was when people would be like ‘oh just eating a chocolate bar for 5 syns and an Apple for speed’

WTF? Consultants should explain better that speed with every meal means to REPLACE some of the food on your plate. Not that just adding speed to your meal without taking anything away will equal weight loss. Obviously thats just adding calories?

I love the idea of slimming world, it given me precious time with my daughter and the other group members were lovely and I left the group with lots of ideas. The parts of slimmingworld that are irritating are these egotistic members in a Instagram Cult of Slimming world. The slimming world consultant is a big fan of the Instagram cult followers.

You can do 30k steps a day, if you’re eating pie sandwiches it’s not going to make a difference
