When I did SW years ago I was the group's poster child. Lost 3-6lb every week because I was basically living on SP days and only eating carrot sticks and eggs. I got to target, won the slinky awards, etc, but I was never allowed to be put forward for the magazine or national finals because...my BMI was too high. I was 11.5st and I'm 5ft 9. You could see my ribs and my spine. But no, SW basically told me I was too large to compete.

wow that’s unreal that you were told your BMI was too high it must have only been 23. Just crazy.

I think the BMI think is way out dated now. It’s ridiculously low.
I know the lowest I could be and I would look anorexic that thin.

I went back to SW last year with a free voucher from a magazine, started filling out the form while chatting with another new member about how many times we had signed up before 🙈 by which point i hadnt actually met the consultant yet, looked up to see a large lady scoffing a hifi bar behind the tables and thought to myself surely thats not her...joined the queue to get weighed etc during which the same lady shoved in another hifi bar complaining about how she was starving... she then introduced herself as the consultant! I was astonished! Needless to say i didnt go back and i never will!

My BMI was between 24 and 25. But they were like "no, it needs to be comfortably in the healthy BMI range" - it was like a big carrot they were dangling in front of me to encourage me to lose weight. I was a size 8-10 and in hindsight I had an extreme eating disorder.

That’s crazy! I was reading the magazine this week and there was a girl, same height as me 5’6 who was 13 stone something having lost quite a bit, haven’t got it to hand but I want to say it was at least 10 stone.

This was about 5 years ago. I lost 7st overall in a year. It wasn't so much the magazine that bothered me, because I bet everyone and their nan tries to get a story in there, but the fact that I was only allowed to win the group award and not go to regional or national finals because of it, actual joke

Here’s the one I was on about, she’s 5’4 sorry. She’s done incredibly well but that’s definitely still not a healthy weight, although I’m guessing she will have a lot of excess skin.

ETA it says in the headline she’s lost 15 stone then it says she’s lost 13 stone 9? 🤪

So I’m off on my hols tomorrow. Staying at the airport and eating at the hotel, it’s standard microwave fayre but I’ve looked at the menu and I’m thinking I’ll go for garlic prawns then sea bass with veg. So pretty healthy, funny thing is, if I was in SW ‘off plan’ mode, I’d defo be having the most unhealthy things on the menu I could find to make the most of it like pâté then pie and chips and probs then a dessert, but because I’m just choosing what I think actually sounds nice I’ve naturally chosen the healthy options 😂😂

Came on tattle to see if anyone is discussing these SW influencers! Does SW pay them to do it and have SW in their Instagram name?

Does anyone follow
ellie_sw21 ? She looks great, I think she’s lost over 8 stone, but she went on holiday and gained 19 pounds!! The food she was posting was horrific - not just the all inclusive but she said she was eating huge bars of Milka every day, going to the local bakery. It was like watching a starving dog suddenly being fed again. It was honestly shocking to watch but she kept boasting and boasting about being ‘off plan’ and ‘back on plan next week’. SW seems to breed such an unhealthy attitude towards food

I’ve just come home from an all-inclusive holiday and gained 4lbs.I had a huge cooked breakfast, lunch, dinner and the odd icecream and gained 4lb so I dread to think what she was doing. 19 lbs !!!!

Nah they don’t get paid but some of them flog/indorse products with discount codes etc

For me what annoys me the most are the ones that aren’t even close to target anymore but still have the following and chat tit about getting back ‘on it’ etc

Like the guy in the photos above. I’ve seen him around. He’s a bit annoying but at least he’s staying within target range and has stabilised.

that icountsynsnotcalories is another example of that. Phenomenal weight loss and then maintenance after that. People should be respecting those that get to target and stay there without under-eating and/or doing 17 hours of exercise a day like a psycho.

..and don’t get me started on the overweight consultants!!!

I don’t think it’s actually the fault of the slimming world ‘plan’. I think it’s gross misinterpretation of the ‘rules’ / overly restricted eating from taking it to the extremes and basically undiagnosed binge / purge mentality.

If ED is present that needs to be handled properly first and separately

Just my opinion.

yeah, he has done amazing hasnt he! 😉

I honestly think sw need to keep their consultants in check... how a big man can be allowed to stand in a room telling people what they need to do to lose weight whilst being vastly overweight is something I will never accept or understand.

I think you are the person I mentioned who has lost 13 stone and has kept it off, why do slimming world not ever feature you or at least mention your loss in an article if you don’t like your photo taken.

I was so angry when I was told about swrosssmith getting slimming world food hampers while our group never got our meal deposits back from the consultant.

In an update, she has agreed to give us all our deposits back, she said the money was already paid to the member of the social also known as the groups food bank. We’re still so angry about it. We haven’t been told a time as when but this all happened a few hours ago.

I like it when I hear from my old consultant either by text or in the post and it’s always ‘why don’t you come back, you did so well’ it always makes me laugh cos I’m like how do you know I’m still large and not a size 4 whipping up and down the catwalk for Vogue 😂😂

Holiday diet going well so far anyway we got so smashed on Spanish vodka measures last night we didn’t have any tea 🤦‍♀️😂
