you do have to be strict to lose weight - but strict as in burn more calories than you consume. If you go over you will put on, simple. But SW members bash each other while none of them have absolutely any idea how many calories they are consuming in their mountains of pasta, Fage yogurt etc. It’s mad. That’s why they all put on again after losingLong time lurker! I’ve followed her for years! I lost 3 stone with slimming world & I look back I look too ‘skinny’ doesn’t look right! I had a baby & regained all my weight & moreSW gave me such an unhealthy unrealistic view of ‘healthy eating’ I rejoined after my baby & on the Facebook page they all moan & moan & don’t eat that you’ll go over your syns! Bashing each other! I am shocked by how much weight she’s piled on but still talking about using willpower muscle she’s one of those people who can preach but can’t stick to it herself. Our consultant was a size 26 but use to preach about healthy eating!! Couldn’t believe she was a consultant like Jennifer Preaching to us about loosing weight!!! Anyway rant over she needs to ditch the gram 🥱

I joined slimming world back in 2015 and lostUntil I started calorie counting, because of slimming world making me think it was free food, I used to have massive jacket potatoes with a tin of beans and my hex a cheese! What the duck that's like 800 calories!! Slimming world says it's a free meal but I can have buttered white thick toast for breakfast and a nice thick white bread ham sandwich for lunch for the same bleeping calories!! I know what I prefer!! Baked beans for example are ridiculous calories and I'd have a whole tin instead of just half!! You don't need the whole tin, I think slimming world makes you overeat massively. I used to eat a tin of mushy peas waiting for my dinner to cook because i was starving
. Jesus christ!
The daft thing is if you counted the calories of her breakfast and lunch it looks quite low...this is why the whole “syns” thing is ridiculous. BUT also shows she is clearly binging somewhere to have only maintained as she would probably need to eat 3000 cals a day to maintain her weight
She spends syns on healthy foods then shovels them gross 10cal jellies filled of fake tit in her gob 
I don’t pay attention to her much, her stories never seem to show up for me (maybe I’ve muted her accidentally) does she ever talk about or do exercise? That’ll be the key if she needs to lose that much weight...
You never see her. It’s either shots of her food or some other pointless tit with a caption.
I was a SW member on and off for about 7 years and until recently when I learnt about calories I realised how naive I had been! Even now I will mindlessly eat something because in my head it’s “free” and then I have to remind myself it’s still calories. I think it’s one of those things that just gets ingrained in your mind until the penny drops that it’s basically just a company making you rely on them for this weight loss “secret” (syns/free food/healthy extras) when actually weight loss is just common sense - calories in vs calories out.
I lost 3 stone with SW and kept it off until I got pregnant but what I don’t understand is you get 15 syns a day and she’s spent 17.5 just on her 3 meals and that’s not including an snacks or treats she may have. I feel pissed off spending syns on those meals and then looking tit!
Not backing her in any way, but you can up your subs if your still losing at target. She has clearly gained.
I’ve done SW, lost weight but I’ve found it’s messed my view of food. I need to get some normality back.
She'll get 20 syns per day because she's over 16 stone.
Ignore me, I though I was on the MrsBav tread. But yes as @Virgin Media Fan said, over 16 stone and you get more.
I used to eat a punnet of strawberries as a mid morning snack on slimming world. Obviously they’re fruit but a whole punnet? No wonder I only maintained or lost 1/2 a week
What does that mean - you get more syns to eat if you’re heavier?
You do! And men get more too
Yeah so men get 20 anyway, then everyone gets an extra 5 if over 16 stone and another if over 20 stone, from when I was there last year anyway.
Best comment everEat all the chips and pasta you want but don’t you dare eat a medium avocado
it's funny because it's true when I was doing slimming world I thought it was a joke when I heard the avacado syns 
Any diet that tells you it’s better to eat Instant pasta out of a mug than an avocado must have something wrong with it!
Exactly, ultimately all that tit is terrible for your gut.
I love nothing more than asking a SW consultant to explain why an avocado is bad for you and why I can eat 100 disgusting muller lights and only use fry light
