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.

This cracked me up and is exactly why I come to this site. Some lockdown entertainment

It was Fat 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 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

can anyone remember the username of i think her name might have been georgie or gerogia? she was quite friendly with harry prickard and suddenly disappeared a couple years ago?
 
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 FUCKING HANGRY AND THE CHIPPY SHUTS SOON

Also how big are some of the tablespoons some of these insta accounts have 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 fat 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

Putting #slimmingworld and #swmeals etc for stuff like this really annoys me too, nothing slimming world about it! Totally misleading

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
