Literally this!! Anybody that can have gluten shouldn't be stockpiling as it is hugely unfair on everyone that can't consume Gluten and very irritating. All on the name of saving a couple of syns. 🙄



That does sound good, might have to try a soup maker now! Don't have time to faff about making them because of work so would be useful! Happy to not go all out on a ridiculously expensive one 😉

Spices - literally have a cupboard full of normal supermarket spices. Not going to be conned into spending 30 quid or whatever it is on something that is identical just so some Instagrammer can get paid 😂
https://www.bmstores.co.uk/products/morphy-richards-soup-maker-317014 This is the one I've got - it doesn't have the sauté feature that the expensive ones have but it's still good - does three large bowls of soup at once so handy for meal planning.

I can honestly say, I've lost almost 10 stone following SW, I've not begged once, used not one bleeping discount code of any description.

My fave memory so far? was it buying 2xl tops instead of 7xl tops? no...

was it buying 42 inch jeans instead of 60 inch? no...

it was asking beggy ben if he has parkinsons after he followed and unfollowed me about 15 times in 10 minutes 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣 and is exactly why I come to this site. Some lockdown entertainment

The problem with SW is that it has been bastardised by social media.

6+ years ago, you’d bang your veg on the plate, follow the plan properly, have a nice loss, then listen to large Susan talk about her all inclusive cruise in class. The meals weren’t pretty, but they were honest and got you where you wanted to be. No fuss, no wannabes, no Beggy Mitchells.

These days, it’s all about tweaks and likes. Tower burgers that are about 7 layers high, porridge with ridiculous cake decorations on, and dickheads with a different comparison picture every day, tagging the tit out of SW in the vain hope that they’re not enough of a hunter to appear in the magazine.

Give me large Susan any day...
It was large Joan in my group 🤣🤣

Tbf there was a lot of 'tweaking' going on before....the obsession with using Smash for anything or cous cous plus all the cake making with gallons of sweetener and egg whites. Oh and making crisps out of lasagne sheets were a big fad too I remember 🤢 Thankfully SW have clamped down on most of these now but some folk still take the piss. The Insta lot is a whole new level of tweak!

I used to love slimming world accounts on Instagram. I think my favourite of the ones I followed were Lifethroughemseyes and Lilandlife. Spanjee. Foppperholic. Chloe Phillips. Mrs mummy wright. There was some girl from Liverpool Nikki something? She had dark hair and was always saying My lubs! Her neighbours cat used to come round and she would claim it as her own 😂

The usual ones really that have already been mentioned on here. But I got so overwhelmed with it all. I now don’t have a clue how to lose weight or eat nomally. I struggle with it
Nicky is halirous at times. She's still on there.

I first joined slimming world in 2008 + let me
Tell you those days were red + green days!!!! This isn’t SW bashing but I’m completely fed up of seeing impressionable people running to the shops recreating these meals and crying because they haven’t lost the weight. Everyone trying to gain the most followers achieve the most ADs become mr or Mrs slinky!! Everyone I’ve followed over the years has put back on their weight and deleted their Instagram because they cannot keep up the persona

One of the fairly large SW accounts I follow has posted an 8lb loss this week - surely that's got to be mostly water? The most I have ever lost in one week is 4lb. Unpopular opinion but I'm really not looking forward to group starting back up, my losses when I used to go were unpredictable at best with it being at 7pm, 4lb loss one week when I'd been very off plan then another I'd gain 1lb having lived off SP meals all week, all dependent on what I had or hadn't eaten or drank that day. Even though I know you're meant to eat/drink normally it's impossible to keep it exactly the same, I'd always eat really light in the morning then have nothing after 12pm and wouldn't drink anything after 3pm. Made the day absolute hell. Might ask if I can just continue to weigh first thing and text my consultant my weight, it would make life so much less stressful 😂 could never be arsed staying for group and listening to the X Factor worthy sob stories justifying putting on 3lb. SHUT UP JANET, WE'RE ALL bleeping HANGRY AND THE CHIPPY SHUTS SOON :ROFLMAO:

Also how big are some of the tablespoons some of these insta accounts have :ROFLMAO: I always weigh out the 15g serving and it's way less than what they're trying to blag as 1 syn worth or whatever

8Ibs in a week is definitely water weight. I'd be booking a doctors appointment if that was all large burn 😂 as with anything, slower loss with abit of a gain here and there is normal, even things like the weather impact fluid retention. It can get quite competitive at these groups which I don't think helps.

Alot of these big accounts DEFINITELY go over their syns! Not what I would class as healthy portions. Cramming on as much free food as possible because they think they can 😂

WOW definitely nothing remotely SW about that!!! Also, not helpful to anybody who is genuinely trying to lose weight, they don't need that shoved in their face 🤢

‘Foodgasmic’ 🥴🤮
Also, anyone noticed how all of the bigger accounts comment on any ADs posted by other accounts in the hope that they will get freebies?! 😂😂😂

It honestly is ridiculous!!! Nothing 'slimming' about it, yet there will be people who genuinely believe these 'influencers' (term used in the lightest possible way) really lost weight eating this way. Bet it's hidden ADs galore on that board 🤣🤣

I know, it’s so sad people will believe it, they will do literally anything to avoid eating wholesome food that will actually make you lose weight. The foods you will have the most successful are the ones that have no advertising or branding whatsoever eg fruit and veg, meat and fish, whole grains. Always half a plate of speed and not as an afterthought, I always put it on my plate first then do the carbs/protein. On the rare occasion there is speed food in sight it’s always a side salad as an extra in the background (swear it’s fake display food they just get out for the photos 😂) or ‘I’ll have an apple for speed later’ which defeats the objective 🤦‍♀️
