I’d rather have something more tangible long term, shape wear can almost work miracles 
I wonder if she got the sofas she was on the beg for?

Personally I would not use joint money on something like this..... I am very overweight and some friends have had gastric band/bypass/sleeve etc and tried to encourage me to do the same.... the main things have stopped me..... 1. I'm scared if they put me under to do the surgery I would die (dramatic I know!!) 2. It was me that allowed myself to get this big..... how can I justify spending money that could go on my family and other things because I can't control what I put in my mouth...... I am trying to lose weight and when I do I will have an overhang too but I will have to live with that..... 3. I have seen friends re-gain the weight - I did it myself years ago on Lighter Life - lost 7 stone and it cost quite a lot of money but over the years I've regained it and am ashamed I wasted all that money ...... as a big person I know exactly what I need to do - as does Jen .... it's getting into the right mind set to do it....
on a side note I thought they lived with her mum because her she was her mum's carer..... ?
Are you sure you’re not me?? We could be twins with this bio - I’m scared of dying under general too.
Laughing at the scared comment...... just the thought of it terrifies me !! I've never had GA... or been in hospital for any kind of operation - only having my kids and they were fortunately straight forward deliveries - no c-section etc !
Had a couple of ops, the emergency one I was crying at the anaesthetist not to let me die. I’m a bit scared of it and picking up coronavirus!
She’s back...
What’s she been posting? Deleted the gram!
maybe she’s back was a bit strong haha! She posted this story but no foodie posts or weigh in!

Should/could have just posted a late weigh in post instead of that waffle. She is definitely trying to distract from it all
Saint Jen - the only person to have children that stops her uploading a 3 second post saying she’s gained weight
She says this, but then once said she would never leave the home she’s in as she lives with her mum so they renovated that instead. Who knows what the truth is with this one
I know! she also had her husband and mum there, she’s just deflecting!
Do people find that they’ve regained with slimming world? My mums work friend lost 7st on slimming world was featured in the magazine and has regained 8 1/2 stone back! She’s now working on a calorie defect diet and trying to stay sane! She said it’s hard to come to terms with not being able to not count pasta portions!

I personally haven’t regained all the weight. I lost 5 stone with slimming world, and since having my second baby I am 1 stone heavier now. So I haven’t put it all back on and could easily lost this pesky stone if I put my mind to it. You just have to be sensible and not over eat just because the plan allows it. I also used to have a ‘treat plate’ every evening and it definitely worked for me.
I lost around 2 stone and kept most of it off however lockdown is challenging and I’m an emotional eater! I actually have to talk myself down from grabbing a chocolate bar when something happens!
I also gained it all back - but I followed the insta mobs and tweaked everything so I actually are more on SW. Once you stop following nob heads and do the plan it works and stays off, however I follow it 90%, I’d rather cook with oil, eat less pasta, not tweak etc which is a healthy diet. I tried calorie counting but ended up eating tit calories instead of healthy calories
guilty of this too! If you break slimming world down it really is just trying to moderate snacking by limiting your calories spent on them and trying to help you not cut everything out I think some consultants and definitely the twats online go too far to try draw people in with the word free!I also gained it all back - but I followed the insta mobs and tweaked everything so I actually are more on SW.

It is very difficult in lockdown! I easily could have lost this stone in the past 3 months but I’ve found it hard not to snack. Thankfully I’ve maintained as opposed to gaining
Good on you! So hard and McDonald’s reopened and I made an excuse to get oneIt is very difficult in lockdown! I easily could have lost this stone in the past 3 months but I’ve found it hard not to snack. Thankfully I’ve maintained as opposed to gaining
I lost a good chunk then gained it all back because I couldn’t see a way to socialise and enjoy going out while remaining “on plan” so I’d go “off plan” and go on a bleeping spree of food devastation because I had it in my head that it was the only time I’d be doing this in a while and I’d overeat absolute nonsense. This was a cycle on repeat for a good while and eventually I had the lightbulb that it wasn’t working for me because of how I was approaching it. I lost weight but plateaued.
Calorie counting, portion control and some decent training will always work best for me cause I can be social without depriving myself. Slimming world is decent to an extent because done right it concentrates on filling yourself up with on healthier foods but it’s easy to take liberties on it and overeat carbs you don’t need and then the whole on plan/off plan mentality can be destructive. Just my opinion but seen so many folk in my old group go through it too and a lot of them are still paying £4.50 a week for the privilege.
