Did somebody say mrsmummywright was back? I wondered what happened to her and her fella

she was the worst for following/unfollowing to gain followers, she done it to me about 3 times I just never followed her back
Same, blocked her in the end 😂

I have a love hate relationship with slimming world I’m still undecided but sw social media is weird in general.

how do they manage on the Facebook groups to get the food looking so unappealing? honestly some of the concoctions 🤢

Also treat plates used to love the idea but I find it quite problematic now it happens on calorie counting too. Plates full of popcorn ,chocolate , jelly ,crisps meat and all sorts of things. I think it just encourages reliance on junk food and it’s really not a good idea to eat that much rubbish even if it does fit slimming world /calories.
There was a post the other day someone had Birdseye crispy chicken asking for syns , someone suggested taking the breadcrumbs off , what’s the point buying crispy then ? Also not sure it works like that.

😂😂😂 they might aswell just grill a normal fresh chicken breast! Definitely some odd stuff on these Insta/FB pages. Also, people really do seem to carb load with potatos at lunch and dinner which can't be healthy to do every day.

She was so stuck up her own backside it was wild! He wasn't much better. Definitely an air that they were better than everyone else. In person and on insta.

His plates of food were hideous the amounts like 8 sausage 4 eggs 🤣
 
I love the SW plan as I’ve lost weight with it and maintained and I eat healthy and exercise.
I dislike groups and consultants, most members as I do have to attend when not in current situation at least once in every 8 weeks but I do this to keep my access to the app which I love.
I make sure I eat a variety of colour, drink lots of water and move and it annoys me when I see people abusing the plan with all the beige etc.
I eat potatoes, pasta and rice but not in ridiculous amounts.
I’m no saint and will enjoy Easter Sunday but I enjoy being happier and healthier so I know come Easter Monday I’ll be back to my regular eating.

I’m the same looking forward to Easter Sunday, I’ve given up alcohol and chocolate for Lent which are the only things really that cause me to go massively off plan, so I’m looking forward to having a drink and some choc on Easter Sunday and enjoying myself but I will be right back on track Easter Monday. Probably won’t have a loss that week but I’m prepared for that, the important thing is not thinking of the whole week as a write off and just getting straight back into healthy eating.

All these big SW accounts always report huge gains after their #offplan weeks but most of it’s got to be water. It really annoyed me when they all weighed in on Boxing Day, you’re not going to get a true weight if you’ve been stuffing your face the day before, no one puts on half a stone in a day like some of them posted!

Beckcross is so irritating. Everyday is a ‘cosy chilled day’. Her content is boring AF
I follow her too and don’t understand how she makes her money. I know she stopped being a SW consultant, but she’s always posting M&S hauls, clothing hauls etc.

She’s always flogging the lumi on her insta - is it just another MLM scheme or is she genuinely doing well with it as a ‘business’? Don’t really know anything about this or how it works... also I’m still catching up on the thread, so sorry if this has been discussed!

I remember an account years ago I really enjoyed, something like SWfifi, she was from Belfast I think. She disappeared from insta, though.

The complexity of that sort of eating cannot be ironed out by someone who goes on a training course at SW HQ. These people need therapy, not SW.

Its so black and white to these people on plan or off plan. So when they do go 'off plan' its a huge binge and eating everything theyre not 'allowed'

Wow they must be seriously putting the food away then. Even from a week on holiday the most I’ve gained was 3lb and that was eating/drinking whatever I liked! The big gains from holidays always seem to be from those big all inclusive buffet type resorts. When I’m on holiday I just have what I fancy when I’m hungry but we either self cater from a supermarket or go out to a cafe/restaurant. Man, I miss sitting in a spanish bar eating tapas and drinking wine so much 🤣💔
