Does anyone here follow gemmab_slimming? I’m just totally confused. She says she’s been calorie counting and exercising for over a year now, but she looks bigger than when she started? Her body has not changed one bit or face? - totally confused.

I thought this too when she was trying on her gym gear, she looks like she's gained weight. She's so active too 🤷‍♀️

to be fair she uses my fitness pal to count her calories. With my fitness pal you can actually adjust calories yourself and add things that aren’t even true that’s why I hate it. So she’s probs adding stuff thinking it’s like 40 cals and it’s actually 200. That’s where I think she’s going wrong 🤷🏽‍♀️

I love MFP! But know a lot of people aren't keen. Yes I think you are right,i did see something the other day, where she reckoned it was 10g of something and the plate was covered in it. Those calories can easily add up if you aren't tracking accurately.

I really like tryingtodoitallsw videos she's been doing. She has a really sensible attitude, very refreshing.

If you have to point out which is the ‘before’ picture on a Transformation Tuesday picture, then you know you’re doing rit.

Does anyone follow slim along with kazza. She lost a lot of weight on SW and also a fair bit since switching to CC. Any thoughts?
 
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.

I think she has her calories set to high anyway, she doesn’t lose much weight at all. She’s quite short and eats 1900/2000 calories a day, even just reducing that by another 100/150 I think could help her.
I know she bangs on about slow and steady, but for someone always in a deficit and never losing surely she needs to realise something needs adjusting?

exactly that!
I wish I had guts To tell her or ask her why she doesn’t lose weight I’d always in a deficit as she says but knowing her shed probably out me on her stories to all her minions 😂

If she’s not losing and has no underlining health issues or meds that cause weight gain then she isn’t in a deficit. I have seen so many calorie counting accounts on mega high calories. I’m all for slow and steady, however the first few weeks should see a bigger loss than 1-2lbs. This helps motivation. Also the TDEE calculators aren’t always accurate so whilst they may put someone on 2000cals a day, based on their age, height, weight this may not be the actual weightloss calories required. If after 2 weeks someone hasn’t lost weight, they should adjust their calories by 50/100 cals a day. If they are using MFP they will need to double check the entries as they are so inaccurate!

This!! ☝🏻☝🏻 It seems really weird to me that she hasn’t dropped it at all 🤔 I’d have sacked it off way before now if I were her 😂

Yep! I was so sick of PT’s with no training giving me advice, I signed up for a years online course in nutrition and weight management consultancy. There are many ways to lose weight (all have a calorie deficit at the core). Calorie counting is 100% not for everyone. People should be counting calories for 12-16weeks. Just as counting syns, points isn’t for life, neither is calorie counting. If she has a PT/Coach and isn’t losing and they aren’t trying to switch things up then she needs a new coach.
