I do SW and have lost 13 stone at my most (currently lost 10st 7lbs and working on the rest but not too bothered about the weight to be honest, more about the body now).Favourite is davidcyril_sw
My wife and I are both doing slimming world currently. I’ve got about 4 stone I want to lose. Slimming world groups are good but on Instagram some of the accounts are cringe worthy. My wife likes that Harry Pickard and I can’t stand him. Why does weight loss turn some people into tossers? I followed that Dan Sully guy because his photo is everywhere on our group but he is mega cringe and seems a bit of a sleaze. As a man, I want to follow normal people I hate all this gifted stuff and people think they are celebrities. Vidlerjon seems ok too I I Follow him too
10 stone7 just wow I couldn’timagine how good you must feel now after thatI do SW and have lost 13 stone at my most (currently lost 10st 7lbs and working on the rest but not too bothered about the weight to be honest, more about the body now).
I wouldn't be following any of those instagram accounts to be honest! I think a lot are kidding themselves that a syn free meal is good for them but they post it and a lot of people see it and think it's all good to do as this person has lost x stone and they're doing it. They key SW for me is to stick to what I like to eat but to make it all fresh. Plenty of water and exercise on top of that when you can fit it in. Try not to eat too many "syn free" fry ups. Having 4 fried eggs, a tin of baked beans, 3 SW sausages, bacon minus the fat and then some fried tomatoes is syn free but it's still going to destroy you!
Harry has his own thread. Very enlightening lolFavourite is davidcyril_sw

I totally agree, I lost 3 stone and tracked using photos on Instagram. It was also handy to look back on for meal ideas for the weeks I did really well with losses.I prefer small accounts rather than the big ones full of adsor begging. I have an insta account and just like to post my meals because in my head I think if I don’t post my dinner then I haven’t eaten well
I’ve lost nearly a stone and a half so far. And I’ve done slimming world loads of times, and always gave up. I genuinely think having an Instagram account has helped me! X
yes defo! When I’m doing the meal plan and I get stuck I’m like ooh I’ll like on my insta!I totally agree, I lost 3 stone and tracked using photos on Instagram. It was also handy to look back on for meal ideas for the weeks I did really well with losses.
And you too! Slower losses are more sustainable and much better to maintain. That 3 stone took me 6 months and it flew but some weeks I was only losing 0.5lbs. The vast majority of that was 1lb a week. I had just had a baby and keeping a visual food diary helped me too on days where my brain was like jelly and couldnt think up meal plans after a sleepless night I would recreate a "good" week. Lifesaver!!yes defo! When I’m doing the meal plan and I get stuck I’m like ooh I’ll like on my insta!I seem to be losing no more than 2lb a week at the mo which I know is still good but it’s coming off soooo slowly! Well done on your loss! X
I’m the same I have to use my account as a visual food and exercise logI prefer small accounts rather than the big ones full of adsor begging. I have an insta account and just like to post my meals because in my head I think if I don’t post my dinner then I haven’t eaten well

yes! I’m honest on my insta account and yesterday I had a McDonald’s (instantly regretted it after) but instead of posting a picture of it I just wrote that I’d had it.. I don’t understand why they post pictures because that makes me want it!I go to the gym and I feel like I’ve got bigger breasts than Katie Price. I’ve been pushing myself so hard that I’m actually 2 stone down now. Does anyone else dislike it when your starving hungry and someone you follow on a weight loss account shoves a picture of a Chinese Indian or pizza up. It tortures me. I know it’s best to be honest about things but I don’t find it helpful. Anyone else found that?
I don't follow most because of this! I've just taken a pic of my dinner today, it's pretty bloody big and it's something like 0.5syns of firecracker sauce to dip my wedges in. I never eat any fancy meals like you see on instagram because I can't be arsed to spend an hour or so making a "fakeaway" only to be disappointed that it's nothing like the takeaway I used to love!I go to the gym and I feel like I’ve got bigger breasts than Katie Price.

I doubt I'd get any followers posting meals like this with the lack of care in presentation, the mountainous size of it and the fact it has no cheese grated over it but I've pretty much had it 5 nights a week for a year and lost 13 stone sticking to small variations of it!
