don’t expect much. I read the thread and she’s still praising herself for not eating a slice of garlic bread and letting her son wake her at 3.30am for the day She makes watching paint dry entertaining.

Jesus mine would be told to get to bed and sleep

now I want garlic bread

likewise, no way was a letting mine start the day that early! A few nights perseverance and he got it. Now we have to drag him out of bed

To many parents act like a friend not a mum.
A lot on Instagram is all for the pictures and the perfect look.

I did well on SW, when on it! I lost 4 stone in 2011-12 and maintained for a year before 2 close pregnancies and have been up and down since. I'm not sure if SW insta has helped or hindered. Constantly hearing how dreadful and bad it is on there doesn't help though. Julesthelazycook_sw has always been supportive and tries her best, she sticks to from scratch cooking a lot.

I'm now stuck between SW which is just so much easier than tracking everything, and CC which is also good, but the tracking is tiresome and I can just eat whatever which actual doesn't always help me! Oh so hard!!

Imagine having an entire drawer of Skinny whips. It’s like when the huns started idolising Hinch and bought every Zoflora scent

They’re not even ‘that’ nice. I’d rather have a Freddo for the same calories

Do what feels right for you and not what the current fad is. I hated CC, the constant logging, weighing and guessing if I couldn’t find an item was frustrating.

Needs a regular purge. Too many of the big accounts are awful advertisements for it. I don’t mind the occasional sweet treat but if their whole feed is like that I unsubscribe.

I had the same problem with calorie counting. Ended up going to bed hungry all the time as I’d splurged on rubbish and had to have dinner using only 300 calories.

Hard to beat a mint one for the same calories, but the rest can get in the bin.

I love seeing pictures of these super slimming world insta meet ups and they all look like dropped lasagne because whoever posts the photo only makes sure they look decent rest look like a bag of sick

Your friend is prime example of if you want something badly enough you will do anything it takes to make that happen. I'm a mum myself iv been there i know it's stressful but it starts at home you have to do your part.

isn't even the best cider

yes exactly you can support in many way does she think she's out every day drinking when baby arrives?


This girl was the best one over and over.
They haven't called the police they say these things but she's done wrong not me so either way I'm not effected.

Sorry hard, what’s she going to do challenge you to a dance off

There are some good points to slimming world and I lost a lot of weight on it however it does rely on people applying common sense. The free food thing is ridiculous. If you get told you can eat as much pasta, potato etc as you like then some people will take that to the extreme.
I saw a post on intsa yesterday where someone had ham, egg and chips. Not one egg but six eggs, a load of chips and loads of ham with salad in a bowl on the side. You're not going to lose weight by eating like that.
I do feel that Instagram doesn't help. These bigger accounts continue to bastardise the plan and people fall for it. All these people want is followers. Pure attention seekers, nothing else.

6 egg omg can you imagine the farts how could anyone eat 6 eggs plus chips and ham

Her that wrote that message has certified Nice Girl in her bio. I think she needs to remove that part after what she has said

The big accounts are awful adverts for the brand. There was a vegan lady who made lots of nice meals and I can’t remember her name. Vidler John was a nice big account for the men. With slimming world it is bigger the account the bigger the ego gets. There are probably some very nice smaller followed accounts that are worthwhile following. I can’t think of any at the moment.

I do like slimming world as I could go with my daughter when we had things to look forward to. We will probably go again once it re opens.

Can anyone recommend any Asian SW accounts to follow?

Who has the bloody time to set it out like that either.
That Colin the crossiant makes me so cross, it's people and posts like that give sw a bad name in that respect. Would you have ate it before sw i.e not eating healthy..... No ..... Why the hell do it now your healthy eating. Get a grip eat normally!

I showed my husband one of these sweet Croissant breakfasts and he was nearly sick in his own mouth

Silver_mile has southern Asian meals, though I think it's a little different with it being Ramadan though. I've not see any east Asian inspired sw accounts, although they most likely exist!

Exactly, I'm quiet into sw (it has its flaws like most eating plans) and I just don't get the whole chocolate, sweet, rich breakfasts. I have fruit and yogurt/fruit/boiled egg/bacon butty for breakfast. I guess that's why if people looked at my Instagram they would say it's boring. But it works nearly 10st lighter.

It absolutely works if you do it properly and watch your calories. Just because it’s syn free doesn’t mean it’s calorie free!
