There was a kezza someone who's gained some back but still much smaller than she started and is now a general account rather than sw but think she lost lots of followers.Can anyone name any slimming world instagrammers that aren’t as big or bigger than when they started
The only one I can think of is Chloe Phillips who I unfollowed because she became extremely irritating.
I was there through the rise and fall of Sarah Linney and actually still follow her I find her more sufferable now she’s bigger and off SW. I remember the days of her posing with a burger for reaching a certain follower number but making a point of saying she didn’t actually eat it she just wanted the photoit was bizarre.

She still follows SW religiously.
Tryingtodoitallsw has also kept her 6 stone off for nearly 2 year I believe.
She does SW alongside calorie counting.
tit the bed, that Bavington woman is only 33?! I thought she was early 40s, easily. Shocked dot com.
She ages like an onion sat in the sun that one
Does anyone follow natashas slimmergram? Her drunk stories are simply the best
This week in the slimming world group we’ve got our first man who has joined the group and he works in the building trade. Gave his own backstory of eating fried breakfasts everyday until he was actually physically sick of them, diagnosed with high colesterol in late 20’s and was 23 stone. He’s now 19 stone and joined slimming world. He told the group how much he loved swapping the cooked breakfasts for natural yogurt and granola and so forth. What did the consult tell him. Follow the slimming world menu online and fall in love with cooked breakfasts again with a slimming world breakfast with fry light. It got a few eye rolls and he replied that he got to the point of being sick of cooked breakfasts and the consultant was arguing about granola. It’s probably scared him away.
I don’t follow slimming world anymore but I was previously a member to lose weight for my wedding. I didn’t have a huge amount of weight to lose, I’ve always been within a healthy weight I just feel happier being at a lower weight because I’ve got a small frame.
I had around 1 and a half stone to lose which was the lowest weight slimming world would allow me to get to based on my BMI.
One of the main issues I had with eating was binging, and I feel like SW promoted this. At the time I thought it was amazing because I could eat huge portions until I was uncomfortably full!!
I did get to my target but looking back it was so unhealthy. ‘Body magic’ wasn’t promoted at all so I did zero exercise, I also had zero energy. I would get upset if I was invited to a lunch out or a meal or event due to the anxiety of accidentally being ‘off plan’ or losing control. I didn’t take weighed cheese out in my bag but I probably would have if I’d thought about it.
I remember going on holiday with my mum a few months before my wedding and her getting really worried about me as I would not eat a ‘normal’ meal, I was so obsessed with sticking to SW or I thought the weight would all come back on.
After my wedding I started eating more normally and of course gained some weight back. I just couldn’t face the prospect of living like that my whole life!
Years later I am back at my ‘target’ without SW, finally got into a good place with my eating habits and I eat a balanced diet, enjoy going out for meals and don’t worry about the ‘syns’. I do regular exercise and weight training not for body bloody magic but for my health.
Im the same weight as I was on SW but look a million times healthier, I’ve got some muscle definition, on SW I was skin and bone and looking back I looked so gaunt!

One week in group they asked me what i'd been doing to lose 3lb that week. I said 'i've been walking more...not far though only a mile and half a day abouts but its up a steep hill'
The consultant looked at me like I had 5 heads and said 'its a lot more than I do' murmurs of agreement went through the group.
'For the plan to work you don't need to do that much walking but if you choose too with the amount you're doing you're working towards body magic gold award'
Before that I honestly didn't think a mile and half a day would even earn bronze let alone gold.
Anyway after that when it got to me in group consultant would just say another xlb down again this week, no problems I take it? You know what you're doing?' And basically skip over me.
She would then spend 10 mins talking to Sharon, Sue or Sandra about how the secret to their 1 lb loss was eating a cheesecake made with hifi bars, quark and options every night.
Wow I didn’t even know there was such thing as body magic awards that’s how well they promote it!!
I never went down the quark route or any of the weird SW ‘cheat’ recipes either.
My group was basically a load of people who never lost any weight coming in to list all the takeaways and junk food they’d eaten. Maybe one week they’d lose a pound because they’d had their fish without any batter then the next week they’d gain back 2
It just doesn’t work long term because you’re not in enough of a calorie deficit to be able to have proper meals of plan. Having to have batterless fish with mushy peas (no chips) is no way to live

Are they less calories??
Usually yes but thats because GF stuff tends to be smaller so less g = less calories. They are higher in fibre sometimes.
How true. So glad I can see SW for what it is now!
Are slimming world taking the piss with 6 sausages for £3.50!!!!
I feel sorry for people still brainwashed by it to be wasting their money on that tit!
And they taste like rit
I remember their main selling point against rivals like WW was that they didn't use ready meals and push their own products .... ha ha ha that aged well
Anything to make money, Slimming world meals that I have tried have all been disappointing. It also contradicts their promotion of preparing your meals from scratch.
They are all disgustingI remember their main selling point against rivals like WW was that they didn't use ready meals and push their own products .... ha ha ha that aged well
Especially the pasta ones
I tried the gravy aswell & that was like dishwater
I quickly figured out it was nicer to have bisto than that rit
Lot less calories in the Bisto too.
