There'll be no hiding from her slimmer self as she was being put onto one of the boards a few years ago when i did SW

She's getting one over on her mate Fopperhollic who's only a TWIN mum and not a premature twin mum

Look at the size of the portions and the “how did she gain that much wait” questions are answered. The mince, chips and veg one could’ve fed two people.

That's a huge amount of food...too much if you're doing a calorie deficit diet, but clearly not if you're doing SW!

I'd like to campaign for the thread title to remain forever. It genuinely makes me laugh every single time I see it. I'd like to think that she's done it before and she'll do it again, but will hopefully be a little more humble this time.

Buts it's the magical free food of slimming world. I dont even want to try and work out the calories in the plate of dinner.

Did she ever show the photo with Ariel after losing weight? Thats when I followed her last. She was going back to show her amazing loss off

No she didn't lose the weight so had babies instead so they had to cancel the holiday. Extreme way to carry on your Miss Slinky lies Jen

The portion size is ridiculous. She’s only little height wise so there’s no need. She’s just a pig.

can someone who’s done this SW crap explain what a free food is?? So you can eat 14lbs worth of potatoes and pretend it’s calorie free??

Basically all lean meat & fish, potatoes, pasta and rice, etc are "free foods." Meaning "syn" free. However, you are supposed to fill at least 1/3 of your plate with "speed" foods (fruit or vegetables). The theory is that replacing the 1/3 of free food with speed food makes you lose weight. And it really does work if you stick to it. BUT the problem is that most people don't. The message of SW is actually to have everything in moderation but for people with disordered eating it's too easy to just binge on potatoes, etc, because they're "free."

Oh god. That doesn’t sound feasible long term at all. I’d always wondered why my friends and family who are on SW eat mountains of potatoes and pasta accompanied by a few leaves...never made sense to me thanks for explaining

It does work, but you’re supposed to have say a salad with like 4 new potatoes, not a bowl of new potatoes with one spinach leaf

It does work I lost a significant amount of weight on sw but it's not sustainable. It gets you to cut out all fats from your diet including healthy fats. There is no reality between their syns and calories. Half an avocado is like 14 syns and yet a plate of plate of pasta would be free or a Muller light that has so much sugar would be 1 syn.

Half an avocado isn’t 14 syns at all it’s 1 syn per 10g, the problem with avocado is people see the “average one is 14 syns” in the book but don’t have the sense to realise that’s not a measured amount, once you remove the flesh and stone it’s significantly lower in syns.

Most people I know who do slimming world seem to loose weight then put it back on when they go off plan. I think it’s hard to stick to long term. I struggled with the restrictions on bread/cheese and having to syn things like flour so didn’t last long on it.

Yeah, I’ve seen people say it works but losing loads of weight then putting it back on again (as 99% of the seem to do) isn’t really “working” :/ I’ve been tempted to try it but I feel like it would teach me bad habits. People like JSG put me right off. She’s not a success story by any means
