Just had a no wonder she hardly loses when she eats the way she does

Makes me howl when someone sees ONE comment about them and goes off on one... you’re literally a line in the middle of someone else’s thread hun.

My friend hits 20k by 8am but she’s a picker for Asda and had her shifts changed since covid to 2-8am and she walks to work.

Yeah tbh my husband moved onto nights instead of being furloughed at his place and he’ll do 10k from 10 till midnight and then 20-25k steps from midnight till 6am, so he’s doing 30-35k steps a shift loading vans with stock, he’s never done so many steps a day in his life he’s lost a stone since lockdown started and loving the fact

To be fair, I can do a 10k run and get about 12k steps in! I’ve done a 15k run and got 18k steps in.

If she's eating what she's posting and running or walking 15k that's even more worrying. I devour breki after walking 5k,she has such small portions

Any recommendations on who to follow on Instagram please
Pref with no ads/begging for collabs so smaller followings
Went through at least 4 dozen accounts today for inspiration and all seem to be Spicentist or jd seasoning ho’s and nothing much else

eatingwith0livia - she’s a small account, just a normal girl using Instagram to post her meals. No ads. Rarely off plan and if she is she doesn’t plaster it all over Instagram. She comes across very genuine.

Yeah I’ve always had a close eye on her. She has done fab and looks amazing.

I’m having a sw account clear out and looking for other small accounts who basically just use the account to track their meals. I think when you join slimming world and you see all these big accounts you’re like oh wow I can eat that and lose weight.. it just isn’t normal though. Its not until you actually understand the plan that you realise their eating habits aren’t normal and they won’t maintain it for the long run. These small accounts are much more relatable.

Grooveeslimmingjourney she tends to keep it food or transformation photos. She’s lost and maintained her weight until lockdown.

She said in her post she’s stopped slimming world. I genuinely think she needs professional help as has a lot of issues and clearly cannot see that eating banana and cucumber for breakfast will not make her gain weight. It’s so sad to see and I honestly hope she gets the support she needs

Reading your comments. It's so true about SW and eating disorders. I would say that since I first attempted it back in 2014, I'm no heavier than I was then, but I've fluctuated. I definitely have an issue with binge eating now, as a result. I'll be what I'd consider as being good for a few days and then treat day/off-plan day arrives, which is usually post weigh-in, and I will eat everything I've missed eating until I feel physically sick. Then starts the cycle of guilt, feeling awful about myself, then back around we go again until the next week. I think most Slimming Worlders do this. How is this healthy? They don't address how to battle this mentally. Just 'Have a Freddo and syn it, you wont feel guilty then!"
When I'm gearing myself up for a binge, a Freddo isn't going to cut it. I will polish off slabs of chocolate in one sitting! Addressing that is the vital bit.
Plus telling us we can eat endless amounts of Free Foods. So we're just going to breeze right over how that promotes overeating, are we?
I want out. I've been looking for some decent, reliable resources as I'd love to try navigating nutrition off my own back as it's something that interests me. Even considering courses. But would want a reputable course. Not a scam one with no real qualification at the end. Any recommendations?

Recommend the Nutracheck app, it's cal counting but very straight forward, I'm new to it. It's free for 7 days, if you like it it's like 40 quid for the year - a lot cheaper than sw and there's discussion forums etc. This isn't an ad, I just feel down the exact hole you've described. Cheat day, dry for breki, chocolate being grazed on all day, my shopping trolley for a cheat day would look like I was having a family party.

Going by cals as opposed to sw is one of the best things I've done, sw gave me serious binge eating issues and restriction issues. Now I eat what I want but am more conscious of portion size vs cals

Excuse the spelling errors fry for breki not dry..

It’s frankly quite worrying. However, I also think it’s a bit attention seeking as she surely knows a banana and some cucumber are next to nothing calorie wise, so why post pictures of them? I’m starting to think she wants the reactions from posting ridiculously tiny portions!
