Slimming World #4

[Damocles]

My group was recently ran by my areas person who scouts for consultants as my consultant was off ill...

genuine conversation...

Her: "My word, you're the one who has lost 13st aren't you? you'd be an amazing consultant, have you ever considered becoming one?"

Me: "Yes, and the simple answer is, I couldn't do it because I cannot be doing with all the excuses people use and, I probably should have led with this point, I don't like people either"


IF and its a fucking MASSIVE IF I ever was to do it, it'd be like a fucking concentration camp.

Also, my old SW card is being put to great use here

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 fat 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

What the hell is this??
Very sexist to assume men are motivated purely by sex.
Could you imagine the uproar if this was phrased and targeted at women?
Its implying if you're bigger you'll be shit at sex or doomed to never get any.
They're really scraping the barrel to get people through the door.

Hi new Tattle member but have to comment, I came across this account a few days ago and the first thought I had was - you are not eating enough. The food pictures your posting is not the amount your consuming a day. To have those loses every week - your in a big deficit . I lost 4 stone a few years back being very strict. I am now sitting at a 5 stone gain. It’s not sustainable and to show a dishonest journey is not fair to others who are following her. I knew as soon as I saw the losses 7 lb one week. 5 lb the second - is nit normal. In a year or two - She will either develop a eating disorder and go too thin or she will disappear from Instagram because she has ballooned. Ive learned from trying to rush a weight loss journey. small changes equals permanent results x

Welcome to Tattle
Theres a few high profile SW'ers that have done the same.
One that will always stick out to me is thefoodieslimmer who lost 16 stone in a year then gained 18 stone back in the 18 months afterwards.
He's no longer on insta he did a disappearing act when we mentioned on here about him blaming 'different scale calibrations' for not getting a loss he wanted

The reason none of it makes sense is because they make money off people wanting to lose weight. If everyone actually lost the weight and kept it off, they’d have no more income

Yeah I know I made a post about Michael Mosley as reply but this thread is getting really de-railed now.
You guys should start a thread about fasting if you wanna discuss it.

Back to topic..surely getting a takeaway would be similar calories to this.
Honestly when people find out lean beef and potatoes are free they think it gives them license to eat half a cow and sacks worths of them.
Also these guys never post weightlosses....

I agree I think SW Insta will die off but SW itself won't go out of business seeing as most group members in my experience seem to think of the weigh ins as a social event and don't actually seem to have any intention of ever hitting their target weight!

100%. been a target member for 3 years - I do a lot of half marathons which definitely helps, I just like the free weigh in. My club shut down and I’ve recently joined a new one, they all pop along on a Saturday morning with Costa’s in hand. The consultants definitely missed out on being popular at school and are using this as their time to relive their youth. Caught mine slagging off a member to another member. Professional.

Oh Donna get a life

How can something be totally cremated but the veg look raw

 

[JustWonderingIf]

I've made a thread for us all to discuss SW recovery and moving on. As this thread is more for bitching.
I hope maybe we can get a community going and support each other x

Hello, new to this thread. Just wondering, of the people on this thread, what is your opinion on SW? I've been a member on and off for years and I'm heavier now than I've ever been. Haven't been to SW since February. In your opinion, does it work? Is it a big money scam? Would you swear by it? Why did you leave?
I also think it's interesting that a few leaders left it and never mentioned it again, would love to know their thoughts on it now looking back.
I'm contemplating rejoining for the umpteenth time but should I just try something else?

It works if you stick to it…for ever and ever and ever! You’ve just said yourself you’re now heavier than ever. Why is that? Is it because when you’re “on plan” you feel restricted?
The only positive I gained from over 3 years of SlimmingWorld was learning how to cook meals from scratch. I recommend just calorie counting using Nutracheck! It’s easy, and you can eat when you want (in moderation of course) x

I’m glad she’s stopped doing SlimmingWorld!

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 !!!!

The comment about milk makes me sad. It's fucking milk, not lard.

An extra 5g of oats can be the difference between a 5lb gain and a 2lb loss.
Remember, its not the 40 mullerlights, 17 mugshots, sack of spuds, bag of pasta, mushy pea gravy, 8 SW iceland quarter pounders and the whole KFC bargain bucket you flexi - synned you had this week that are the difference between a loss and a gain huns!
It's not measuring your healthy extras correctly and them berries you microwaved for 30secs that you failed to syn.
You're not the slimming expert, she is....

Jesus wept, I could never have WLS, I live for food. Just the thought of having a tiny Chinese brings me to tears.

 

[Tubslife]

Omg spill the syn free tea!

Short version is if we decided to not take €4pp and go online and take the government handout instead we had to reinterview for our jobs, even though we were self employed, they had our license and made the decisions. I had a small group and couldnt refuse 350pw for maybe €50 i decided at the very start to support every person for free. I ran free online groups, rang people everyday, sent cards etc. Then they decided 3 weeks in to shut down to charge people and my hand was forced. Almost 5 years running groups.......they push you every week to get members. No number is enough. I reached 70, i was told to get more. I ran groups most weeks at a loss because of their cut. I loved it. I loved my members but they took all the joy out of it. The pressure is immense.

 

[JustWonderingIf]

Would you stop paying to watch Rafael Nadal play tennis or stop flying Virgin Airlines because the owners spend their money on yachts.

If you're a die hard defender or fan of SW this is the wrong thread for you....

Has Harry joined the thick thigh brigade? Is this a weight gain I see before me..
