Slimming World #2

[Damocles]

I have just talked my daughter out of joining teamrh because of their terrible online reviews. We are both very disillusioned with slimming world now. My daughter said Instagram is flooded with the Snowdon climb.

Here is an idea for a challenging climb, they should climb the ego of Ben Green(big Ben to big ego Ben) that might take A few months

It's Always the same usual suspects that do these climbs, They do it to boost their own egos, nothing more.

lets have a look at a few of them

nicola_gets_slim = had weight loss surgery before she joined sw and now passes off her 12 stone loss as "only slimming world"

snaresylad_sw = A man that can gain half a stone in 2 days, calorie count on days he goes over his syns and blame boris johnson for him being a greedy large pig.

erika_slimmingworld = an absolute horrendacunt of a human being.

nothing inspirational about that.

a motley crew

Didn't realise nicola_gets_slim had surgery but now you say I can see it, her face is very gaunt, you quite often see that with WLS patients who have lost a lot (from my limited knowledge of watching my 600lb life )

She reminds me of a parrot that's been flushed down the bog with that bedraggled orange hair
She's got a thread on here, there are people from her town who know her who are adamant she had the surgery

 

[Moonflower]

Wow, that thread is something! 12 stone in 12 months not wanting to take away anyone's effort to lose weight but at least be honest about it!

Another one from Donna....
Just put this ridiculous breakfast through nutracheck and it was a whopping 1100 calories!!! No wonder she gained a stone the absolute pig that she is. Also the caption made me laugh. Apparently counting calories and calling people out for misleading thousands of people makes you a “Karen”.

It’s obscene that amount of food! I’m surprised she didn’t use a spice kit though for another undisclosed ad

Even anyone who isn’t on a diet surely doesn’t eat 2 eggs, 2 waffles and 3 sausages along with all that other stuff! That’s pure greed. And you’re totally right, it’s misleading lots of people who might not know much about nutrition and think they can eat like that all the time and lose weight.

Hang on does she eat BOTH plates???

 

[Lords_Alive]

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

What the duck is that on top? If that’s mayonnaise, I might actually vomit…

I agree the portion size is pretty crazy, but can you post the maths of that?

If you ate that the morning of climbing bloody Snowden, you could get probably away with that, apart from throwing up halfway up to the top . Otherwise I’m over 6ft and would struggle to eat that.

 

[eSsExBiRd]

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 tit like this. I even had no ads/sponsorship in my bio. I got sick of it in the end, the constant a licking, Princess Planning water bottles, “rubs” and constant Follow Friday’s I deleted the account.

I just put it into my nutracheck out of curiosity and it came up nearly 1000 cals that's without any oil or half a bottle of frylite used to cook it too

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.

I bet that's not all that was being rubbed I'm glad they made a decent amount of money but I agree it was so over the top

 

[chickennuggssss]

There she goes again with a mug cake they are awful!

(Gemmabslimming)

I’m not sure if I can see any difference in her at the moment? She doesn’t seem to be loosing much??

Claims she lost 3lb from her latest workout challenge. Not that exercise is about weight loss but that seems pretty low when she claims to be in a calorie deficit too. I suspect she's not being honest about her calories or isn't eating in a deficit.

Finally unfollowed skinnyschedule, got no time for her anti-vax tit.

I think its disgusting she had WLS and passing it off as SW. What a bleeping fraud

If they are open about it, there is not a problem. A lady with whom I worked with at the hospital, had a gastric band and she lost a lot of weight in a short space of time. She was very upfront. After a while, people can regain the majority of their former weight as their body adjusts. The lady at work joined slimming world after gaining a lot of weight back but has spoke about her experience at her group. After years of gaining she lost 3 stone with Slimming world and seemed happy.

I suspected Big Ben to Slim Ben to be a weight loss surgery case. He is quite deceitful and arrogant. He would never admit to having surgery and it wouldn’t surprise me. The pattern of big losses followed by a big gain seem identical to cases seen. Ben shows plenty of evidence to support the surgery theory.

Nicola looks to have had the same from the looks of it, nothing wrong with doing it. However this looks like a vanity case with no honesty. It’s sad that she has to lie.

Exactly! Just be honest.

I'm convinced her (and all the other similar instagram slimmers) are just bullshitting what they eat. Her breakfasts will have half a biscoff, half a crunchie, half a freddo - Where's the other half, are you saying you just throw everything else away and waste all that food or are you eating it eventually and just not counting it? One slice of garlic bread out of a whole fresh packet, did you just bin the other 7 slices aye?

100% she's either eating things and not counting them, or she's not counting liquid calories (alcohol, milks, full large drinks). I'd put money on it.

Someone mentioned earlier that she was doing 500 calorie + workouts and still not losing weight. For the last decade I've stayed within 10lbs of my 'normal' bodyweight, both sides, and I regularly run 6+ miles on a work night after being on my feet all day (I burn roughly 125 calories a mile running, depending on speed and effort). I ran every single day in January both this year and last year, never lost more than about 3lbs each time (ran over 120 miles in the month). Because I was eating more calories than I was burning.

You (the collective you!) can hate calorie counting all you want, you can refuse to do it and follow SW/WW/Atkins/the Cambridge Diet/whatever, but at the end of the day if your metabolism does not burn more calories than you take in, you will not lose weight. That goes for every single living organism that has a metabolism. Metabolism can be affected by drugs, medical conditions, psychological conditions but it will still always stay true to that rule.

Just looked at her stories - a few things I've noticed. 1) She considers her Apple watch to be gospel to telling her how many steps, calories she's burnt, how much she's moved. Without a chest HR strap, the calorie burn is pretty inaccurate (it is on all wrist based HR monitors) and should be treated with a pinch of salt as to how much accurate it is especially if you're only working with a small deficit. 2) Her portion sizes look about right, but I'm willing to bet she's not measuring absolutely everything she's putting into her mouth during the day. She also seems to gravitate towards carb dense, high calorie foods in lower amounts rather than 'volume' eating which can lead to people just feeling dissatisfied quite soon after a meal. Obviously that's not a rule for everyone but some people (myself included) feel worse if they eat small amounts of a calorie dense food, rather than the equivalent amount of a calorie light food.
