It's so tragic. Why is she clinging on to this bull. She hasn't lost any weight has she since 2017? 🤣 you're right a big mac is less than 500 cals!
Her last weigh in was august 2020.
Funny that back then her portions were a bit more sensible.
At some point she decided becoming a very slightly more popular SW hun was more important than weightloss

She's an absolutely obnoxious bint. Calling people Karens for calling out the calorific portions she serves up and claims to lose weight with. Like you say, she hasn't lost any weight in a long long time. There's a lot of gullible people who follow SW on Instagram who will lap up her bull.
There's no honesty from her, just a walking discount code. She can stick her chicken boobs up her a too. It wasn't funny the first time she said it.
As you can probably tell, I'm not her biggest fan.

I've been a slimming world member now since 2019, and to say I have a love/hate relationship with it would be an understatement. My mrs used to show me all these people that had lost LOADS of weight with slimming world, Jack Towers, Big beggy ben, Mr snares, not forgetting Harry Pickard and his fabled 8 stone loss 😄

"I wished I could do that" I thought. I had a serious health scare in 2019, long story short, I was rushed to hospital and told straight "lose weight or you will be dead soon" my blood pressure was 220/200.

within days I'd joined slimming world for what felt like the 528th time. I used to blag it, eat tit on weigh days after getting weighed, take the absolute piss out of the plan (like those I mentioned above that still do 😉)

But this time, I wanted to do it by the book, after all, my life was at stake now and it was very serious. I saw Ben, snares, even jack towers and thought "I want to be them"

I was 2.5lb away from being 27st when I joined. I was addicted to food, I'd eat a multipack of 26 packets of walkers to myself A DAY, washed down with full sugar coke, I'd go mental if the kids threw anything away and I'd honestly get stuff they'd thrown away from the bin and eat that too...

I lost a stone in my first week, I'd lost 1 and a half stones by week 3

fast forward 3 years, and I've had all sorts of tit from slimming world. They accused me of being a bully and pulled a feature they had planned on me, I've had a slimming world consultant take personal photographs of mine of my children and plaster them all over social media without my permission and their response to it was pretty much "if you dont want it to happen you could always set your profile to private"

I strongly believe unless you are a kiss a, or you have a look about you they like to promote, they dont want to know..

"Slimming world is for men too" is a recent campaign they ran.. well, this particular member got to target a while back, 12st award and I was voted man of the year in my group all on the same day...I tagged sw in my social media posts and all the rest of it but it was met with silence. I maintained my 12st loss for 3 months before deciding to change my target again, and I've just got my 13st award and got to target again, and was again ignored by sw..If I sound like a bitter witch, I guess i am but I think it's justified.

Can I ask how you dealt with the addiction element and prevented yourself from reverting as it sounds like you lost a lot quite quickly yet you have kept it off. Are you still eating the SW way and following the plan to the T or are you calorie counting or perhaps just eating healthy? Thanks

I went absolutely cold turkey on everything, and yeah, I still follow it to the T. It is possible to keep it off, I'm proof of that. I do not for the life of me understand why people work hard to lose a considerable amount of weight and then just pile it back on, thats not sw fault, that can only be the fault of the person in question.

I've not gone hungry, and I certainly dont starve myself.

I haven't gained all of mine back, but I have gained some.
But it's simply because I've never dealt with my issues around food.
I don't blame SW for that. But it certainly didn't help. It just ended up making everything worse. But again, because I hadn't dealt with those issues.
If anything, I'd blame consultants for making it worse.
Calling out weight gains infront of everyone. Telling people not to exercise. Making you feel bad for only losing 1lb. Ect ect

Yes this is my issue I lost a reasonable amount and gain it all back and it was my fault yet I want to lose it again but don’t feel like my food addiction has got any better and I don’t know that will power alone will work. I’m interested in how to deal with my issues and maybe it is professional help.

Whatever the size of loss or re gain the individual let it happen but as you say consultants and ‘the business’ do not help nor does the general lack of dealing with the non food related issues as per of the plan.

oh I agree, theres loads of it I don't agree with. I honestly believe a consultant should not be heavier than their members. It makes an absolute mockery of everything sw is meant to exist for.

I keep being told "you should be a consultant with the weight you've lost"

Not a chance.

What balls that letter is. Would they be able to use Kim Kardashians or Tom Cruises image to promote slimmingworld because they share it on insta and don't have private accounts? No I think not they'd be sued.
They're only blaming you because they know they can and nothing will happen.

They're such an mlm is unreal. They're no different to avon ladies that used to say 'oh you've bought 5 lipsticks you're such an expert you should try selling too'
Same as juice +, or fm fragrances.
Its actually interesting I followed a few consultants on ig who stopped and went onto other mlms one to younique and one to fm

Its a tit letter and to spell reinforce incorrectly twice in a business letter is awful. Spellchecker is your friend!

I’m just curious , I do have a large account , I’m not following SW but Used to before I switched
Many of my photos do have hashtags that include either business , company’s or venues and they are often being shared on their own insta stories due to me being a public account

what’s the difference from using slimming world hashtags where you are putting your own personal photos out there for thousands and thousands to see who also follow that hashtag to having a company re-share it onto their own insta stories

No one cares you have a 'large account'.
The difference is consent.

Always found those jd seasonings fakeaway boxes cringe. Like those that used to put quorn nuggets in empty mcnugget boxes or put their stirfry in a foil tray.
Also that burger the size of it will have more cals than most mcdonalds
Surely once they’ve finished faffing about styling their food like that, it’ll be stone cold by the time they eat it. They try too hard.

I hate the term “fakeaway.” I’ll eat a takeaway as a treat so I don’t have to cook. Some of the ones you see on IG or FB where there’s endless pretend boxes or foil trays must take HOURS to make and that’s not a treat to me, especially when, with the best will in the world, it’s unlikely to taste like the real thing.

If you aren’t comfortable with a regram then I would knock it onto a private account
in my case it wasnt a regram, it was taken from my instagram and posted on to this particular consultants facebook page...that is not ok.

There's a regram then someone using photos of you and your kids to promote their business.
Would you be cool with someone using photos of your kids to try and make money?
Before you say 'HaVe a PrIvAtE aCcOuNt ThO'
You would hope that someone working for a large company would have the respect not to post a photo without consent esp where kids are concerned.

Ok fair enough but was the particular post talking about the success of SW and how much you had lost and that you had done well on it

if it was then it falls under commercial communication enabling anyone affiliated to the company to use it to show off the success

if it was just a random pic with no mention of slimming world or your weight loss then yea they would be in the wrong

Instagram could we reuse it as when you sign up you enter an agreement to share ownership of photos with them not SW.

It is different if one the account is set up as a business account or if you are advertising their business hence why I asked if the poster was celebrating the success of how slimming world worked for them
