Slimming world

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

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.

I used to follow her years ago when I first started SW ... was she called “yourgirlEm” or something like that? She kind of dressed in men’s suits for work?

A couple of years ago I saw her on The Funny Fat One’s vlog, she had organised an event, I think it was about body positivity and Em was one of the speakers. She had put all her weight back on then!

Oh god I remember that. All the SW clique were there weren’t they!

Oh god I feel like one of the influencers changing plan every few minutes but I’m no longer doing my sw plan as something in my house broke and I need to fix it which is expensive so going to have to keep my bill down and just calorie count . I can never keep my shopping bill to a decent amount on sw costs a fortune

The most I've gained from 1 week off plan was 5lb, I lost over half the week after. 2st 7lb on in one week is ridiculous.

I honestly didn't even think that was possible in a week. I see some tit has said easy on easy off. Not seen that quote in a while

It’s always a temptation when you feel like you are loosing control to go back to a ‘plan’ but like you said: recognise the parts of the plan which are actually good nutritional advice and forget all the other silly rules that go alongside it (the way they turn it into a product to sell) it’s the idea it breeds of bein ‘on vs off’ plan which is dangerous, especially to those of us with a certain psychology

Honestly, read the book, it’s great!

I've just ordered it!

You can put your own cals in. Click the barchart/pie chart on top right. Scroll down and tick set my own goal at the bottom

Fantastic, thank you!

Same, blocked her in the end

I remember years ago but think she deactivated a few year ago tbf

name began with E and think she was Scottish

she had a massive following she lost a lot of weight maybe 10 stone and regained and lost it all again then I think had kids.

pretty sure she lived on ‘camp Fire stew’

hope she’s doing ok

Buzzing this morning, despite what I said yesterday I’m actually 3lb down from last week and got my Club 10! I’m thanking this thread and our mini revolution against the beige

Now to celebrate with a bowl of 10 melted chocolate bunnies topped with a jar of Biscoff for breakfast, a large Big Mac meal and 20 chicken nuggets for lunch and a £40 Domino’s order for tea followed by an Easter egg filled with random shite jokes!

Well done!!!

I have to admit I am a total baked oats (not overnight, god no, so claggy!!) fan for breakfast, but I am not a piss taker when on plan. Nor do I melt a square of chocolate to dip fruit in, I just eat the bar of chocolate that I want whilst incorporating it into my days.

When it works and you go back to basics it works, but as with any plan you’ve also got to have your head in the right space as well, and clearly some of these folk are taking the mick!

One thing that does irk me and always has done though is how mashing or blending fruit makes it synnable? I could understand if they were to tell me it’s because mashing or blending releases sugars in the fruit, but to tell me it’s because I’m likely to consume more and affect my loses. Usually by a consultant with no nutritional training at all.

Fruit is high in a natural sugar called fructose, which is fine until you realise this by blending, mashing or cooking ... Fructose is a high energy sugar which passes across the cell wall of the small intestine far too fast. The absorption of fructose in this speedy way causes a blood sugar level spike (you get lots of energy in one boost) the problem is it depletes quickly too and causes a blood sugar dip, thus making you feel hungry again, so you eat. Whilst you eat your pancreas detects a dip in blood sugar and releases a hormone called 'glucagon' ... Glucagon then travels to the liver to unlock another hormone called glycogen which converts to glucose in the blood thus giving you energy. The problem with this happening is you have already consumed new calories and your body works to break those down and the new glucose is then stored as fat on the body for the next blood sugar dip, thus resulting in over indulgence of calories.

Also with fruit being a high carbohydrate food, the chewing action of the mouth and the release of glucose and fructose stimulates an enzyme called salivary amylase, this enzyme starts to break down long molecules of sugar into simpler forms of sugar (thus carbohydrate digestion starts in the mouth) also the detection of sugar molecules in the mouth causes a signal to be sent to the brain ' and so your appetite cut off kicks in once your body has sufficient nutrients, when you blend or mash, the fruit leaves the mouth to quickly and thus the appetite suppressant action of the salivary amylase does not kick in, and so you can potentially over indulge in calories.

My search function keeps playing up and I was trying to see if ZoeyLou_sw had been mentioned on here? I really enjoyed following her but her account has been quiet since August and I really hope she’s okay!

Ooh just realised she hasn’t been on for ages has she! Hope she’s ok. I used to make some of her recipes and get loads of ideas from her when I did sw, she was one of the more likeable accounts!

 

[Dragondog]

Desperate Dan
I’m blocked on all my accounts so hard to have a look at her. Anyone knows a way round this please tell me

She blocked all my accounts too but I’ve got a snooper account that’s private to keep an eye.. the selfie on her story last night.. I mean that’s worth creating an account right there I had to make a new email though which sucks

 

[Robbie09]

I am thinking of changing to just being an online member or trying to find a different group. I text my consultant my weight on Thursday and said that my 12 week countdown must be up soon, and that I’ll pay same again if she lets me know when it’s up. Haven’t heard anything back and I’m just thinking, what exactly am I paying you for

That’s just rude and annoying.
I hope it doesn’t stop you getting to where you want and if you changed to online or lost app benefits then loads of useful, helpful accounts on Instagram can help you

 

[lesleybanks]

Aw well fair enough we are all entitled to our own opinions! I find her pictures and the filter she uses so annoying and it’s all over my explore page it pisses me right off if I see another malteaser bunny or an edible star on top of porridge I’m going to scream

Omg i’ve been wanting to speak to someone about this girl for ages lmao
she does look smaller obviously since losing 30 odd pounds but it’s suspiciously slow considering how active she is and she claims she’s in a very consistent cal deficit. she also posted her measurements a couple months ago and i noticed she said her waist was 29 inches or so and i just do not believe that. she also said her arms were a certain size which i noticed were only an inch or so larger than my own and i’m about 4 stone lighter than her! where on earth is she measuring lol? correct me if i’m wrong but she’s 12-13 stone, i don’t believe her waist or arms are that small and she also posts about her gymwear which is clearly suffocating her, too small but in denial

 

[Shamrockgirl]

Hi everyone new here, came across this thread and just wanted to say I agree with you all. I really dislike jane gammons, I dont even know if shes still doing it. I would of watch her you tube channel but she annoyed me so much by not getting or making a point. And also watching her crunch on camera I've been searching my someone to follow who isnt annoying but dont think they exist

 

[Northeast1988]

Not SW itself, I am a member just the clowns that give it a bad name!

Sorry quoted wrong person

Haha I get the drift
I’m on SW but yea I get it
I can’t stand some of the big known ones

 

[Shielder2021]

She is tragic

Same comparison photos about 5 times a week.

She literally has nothing else in her life but losing weight and staying thin. I pity her.

I guess you have to do something to keep your husband who has a wandering eye happy.... I mean if my husband had been sacked from his job for being inappropriate with young women I may feel the same

Aha i had a nosey at her...
I remember her shes changed her name many many times was her name hall???
Still the many many before and after pics omg

 

[eSsExBiRd]

If I wanted to watch fat girls dancing and pretending they’re ok I’d go to a strip club

ambs_andcals had done absolutely amazing, no way is she a fat girl

 

[Dragondog]

She’s a bad slag too I heard

 

[Gossislife]

Just started sw it’s good so far and wanted to start eating normally after decades of ww-the plan has been changed for the worst and got annoyed that they cut the in person meetings for when we go back to normal to the bone while paying celebrities to pretend they are doing it. I like that you can’t ‘save’ syns so the next day is a new start rather than the next week. Fascinated with Boothy and her dinners with both chips and rice, and this weekend she added a nann in as well. I find the influencers who have sw in their name but calorie count instead really annoying, I don’t get why sw does not clamp down on this as it can’t be good publicity as it really says that sw is good, until it isn’t!

Pretty sure Boothy just does it so she can get her commission on the JD Seasonings. Saw them being pushed this weekend with a RIP-off 'Easter special'. Also, she does alot of 'steps' from her new Apple watch, so when she claims she doesn't exercise it's a blatant lie.
