Just saw that Slimwithross, think he’s called justross or something now, has signed up to weight watchers. Is nobody going to tell him that it’s basically the same thing as slimming world, except syns are called points? He suffers from BED. Surely the idea of unrestricted foods isn’t a good idea? The worst thing is that he said that NHS recommended it to him. Surely that’s the same NHS which is treating his eating disorder, and they’re recommending yet another damaging plan. 😔

The NHS unfortunately don't take eating disorders seriously when you're not underweight. Especially BED
I suffered with bulimia years ago but because I was overweight, they didn't care. I asked for help and they told me not to worry about it, it may benefit me if I eat healthy alongside it too

I’ve only just found this thread and while I no longer follow any sw profiles on insta, it’s nice to know nothing has changed with them 😂

sorry if she’s been mentioned but there was one that was really popular a few years ago, I think he name was Gemma? She was a twin and lost a few stone and had some sort of bowel issue? I’m sure her handle was swgem or something simple but I can’t seem to find her to see what’s happened to her lately

There are ALOT of married/partnered men in WL Insta sliding into DMs, filthy gits
I can safely say we're not all slimy egotistical wankjobs 😊

Pretty sure JustRoss was doing Munro method at one point as he took over the stories page thing. It is sad to see someones life completely ruled by diets. :(

Lewis his partner seems to have kept the weight off which must be difficult if youre living with someone who is eating a lot and binging.

Can I have some Slimming World advice? So, I’m semi retired but recently I have taken on a bit more work. I also have volunteered more at the crisis line, there are a lot of people struggling with costs of living and deteriorating mental health. I have told my slimming world consultant this information I am unable to attend the other times of group and she has sent me a text to say that I will have to pay for my sessions missed because she has been told she has to be strict by head office. If I can’t attend other groups I have to pay, even though I am working. They were always very flexible in the past.

If youre marked as a 'shift worker' then I think they can waive fees every 2nd week or whatever you cant do or this used to be the case. Id imagine with the pandemic though they need every penny they can get.

Are there no other classes you can attend at all that week? Even if its not your consultant. I dont know at the moment but in my area there used to be classes every single day of the week in multiple locations. I honestly dont know how they all made money. 😬

I was classed as a shift worker before because I was for many years. The group even for January is very quiet.

No other group is within walking distance for me, my husband is working away and my daughter has my car, she has a Citroen ds3 that spends more time in the Citroen garage at the moment. She’s pregnant and they don’t have any available courtesy cars until March.
 
Can I just say thanks to whoever shared Slimming Hurled yesterday, I spent the night scrolling in tears at some of the posts 😭😭 gravy and iceberg lettuce and spaghetti with mushy pea sauce, absolutely hysterical.

I think all you can do is ask to be marked as a shift worker again if they still do it. I imagine they are counting every penny at the moment and maybe being more strict with it. I think SW take a percentage of what your average members are type thing and you as the consultant still need to pay it whether the member attends and pays or not.

Might be wrong here but happy to be corrected by someone more in the know.

Then the comments on the posts finished me off. On the gravy salad one “iS iT jUSt Me?” — Yes. Yes, it is.

Omg forgot another good one - someone proudly declaring they think they are the first person to make BIG MAC BAKED OATS 🤮🤮 complete with burger sauce and sliced pickles as a topping. Yes, the first and last person to make that, I would imagine. The person talking like they needed to apply for a patent for the damn thing as it would be so in demand 🙄 this is why SW has a bad name!
