Oh my gosh I’m glad I’ve found this thread. There are so many accounts who have disappeared. If anyone can give any info I’d be so interested, they just disappear off the face of the earth I always wonder what they’re doing now.

Oh yes I remember all of them. There were a few others who have also been mentioned on here - Zoeylou, JSG and Ylimesalad. Wonder what happened to all of them? And Itsyourgirlems, I really liked her - I’m sure she commented on threads on here ages ago explaining why she left.

I’m not sure why mrsmummywright_sw and mrdaddywright_sw actually left instagram, but I’m pretty sure that she isn’t a consultant anymore. I know that they had a baby girl not too long ago as well. I really liked them and they always seemed very genuine.

I was told they left Instagram & Slimming World because they lost a baby. It's lovely to hear they now have a baby girl and not reactivated their accounts to blag #gifted baby stuff.

it’s scary how her whole life resolves around food and sugar. All she does is write stuff about chocolate this chocolate that. It’s not healthy she’s obsessed
I didn’t actually realise how bad this was until you pointed it out, she has a problem. I know her Instagram is based on what she eats but it’s getting beyond a joke, she’s absolutely obsessed with food. Never seen a grown woman get so worked up over some bloomin caramel spread!

I have no idea how she’s acquired so many followers compared to other accounts who have undergone massive transformations and eat a much more healthy and interesting variety of foods, not just oats topped with a million different types of chocolate or chicken nuggets, loaded fries, wraps & burgers that look like a teenage boy’s staple diet 🤣 What’s she going to do when she has a real job and doesn’t have the time to fool about making baked oats and trawling round ten different Marks and Spencer’s to find the latest Insta hun food craze?

I also can’t stand the flogging of slender porridge, what kind of porridge is worth £20 a bag? It’s not even that high in protein, just have a yogurt or summat man!

I reckon she has all those followers because everyone wants the easiest option. They don't want to put the work in or cut out the foods they love, or the massive portions, which is 9 times out of 10 what made them gain weight in the first place and they just want a "hack". No one wants to change their habits, or look at the reasons behind their eating habits, and to me that is what is key to changing your lifestyle and in turn, keeping the weight off. She may claim to have lost over 2 stone, but really? I'm not convinced. Nothing more than smoke and mirrors.

I was curious about the slim type porridge so looked at the nutrition and I couldn't see much difference between that and my £1 bag of lidl porridge!

You’re spot on. I think even a large serving of that protein porridge is only about 12g protein, so if I had a large serving of my Aldi porridge I wouldn’t be far off that, my milk in my tea would probably get me the extra few grams! It’s all nonsense.

i bought the protein world slender porridge and I kid you not it’s not even nice 🤣 I got the chocolate one and I MUCH prefer my Aldi original oats 10 sachets for £1 with some Lidl chocolate spread on top. Amazing 👍🏼

What happened to that elderly chap who used to do Slimming World? The one that Harold Prickhard was fawning all over? Then Harold started copying and wheeling out his nan for likes...

From what I can remember his daughter or someone pushed his account hard to blow it up?

David Cyril. His account is still going by the looks of it but I never followed him as it makes me really uncomfortable people using the old and vulnerable for likes and freebies which I can’t help feel is why that account was set up

There was deffo something "off" about the whole thing I agree. From what I can remember the family were really rude about it when questioned too

Wow I just looked and they've even got him a blue tick 🧐😠 would an 80yr old man be interested in that nonsense?? I doubt it!! Deffo being orchestrated

i don’t even think he lost much weight

I remember someone sent him a free soup maker and his daughters were making him film videos making soup to “entertain” his followers

princess planning is another one ALLLL over “cute old people” or anything like that like a bad rash. But won’t follow her actual customers.

out of curiousity, I loaded up a planner and all the inserts I would need and it tallied up to a £100. She’s a absolute fraud.

Does anybody follow _stephygee_ and lydsjourney2target they are both accounts I love although Steph has put up some storys this morning about being an influencer and how disappointed she is because a company gifting her a facial have let her down- not a good look!

I really like Lyds she’s inspiring and done really well but feel like Steph is just all about ADs and being a influencer now. Most of her posts are ads

Does anyone know what happened to the lady called Rachel? The one with the mum who was always rude about her weight. Her posts always made me laugh
