Slimming world

[Sandy8765]

Im very upset ive lost 2 stone at slimming world over many months as i struggle to lose weight..this morning ive been fat shamed at the group infront of everyone..at the moment due to allergy IBS im not eating any potatoes wheat dairy or carbs and last week lost 4.5 pounds and this week ate exactly the same and i mean exactly the same...she told me id lost half a pound and i said that cant be right anyway it came to the bit in the group and infront of everyone said id put on half a pound, i said no you said id lost half a pound, with that she shoved her ipad under my nose and said see here is the evidence!! Then started saying i needed to look at what id eaten this week....i was upset and furious and just got up and left and she came after me still telling me i needed to look at what id eaten...i said i know what i ate exactly the same as the week b4, she clearly doesnt believe me!! Im very upset i actually feel abused and fat shamed in front of a group of people...im very overweight and i feel shamed

Isn’t this what slimming world is, they weigh you and if you’ve put on weight they say it and tell you to look at what you ate and if you loose they congratulate you?

Sack off Slimming World OP. It's cult. Most people who do SW or WW put all the weight back on and need the meetings again and again.

Can you do SW online only and not go to the meetings?

2 stone is bloody amazing btw and not easy to do. (I had a similar weight loss last year and it's a right old slog).

@Pizzadreams have you ever seen the Little Britain Fat Fighters sketch? That is basically SW in a nutshell.

Slimming world is absolute nonsense, PP is spot on, it's a cult.

You can't eat unlimited pasta and sugar free yoghurts full of other shit, it's insane.

Calorie counting or fasting much more effective, IMO.

You don't need them OP, don't stand for it

Agree.

Op, maybe public weighing isn’t for you. Could you have been upset as you expected another big loss and were disappointed? Is it because she told the group you’d gained half a pound and you didn’t want people to know?

I’d also sack it off. If you need that discipline maybe speak to her before the class and tell her you don’t ever want people to know if you’ve lost or gained?

LEAVE SLIMMING WORLD NOW!!

All it does is create a very unhealthy relationship with food. Branding certain foods as syns is absolutely ridiculous. The reason you may not have lost weight this week could be down to any number of things nothing to do with what you ate.

Weight loss should be looked at over a longer period of time than a week. You should also be looking at other things like how your clothes feel on you or take pictures and compare. Don't just focus solely on the number on a scale.

Try and look at the fitness chef on Instagram, get one of his books instead of paying for slimming World.

2stone loss is amazing, you should be very proud of yourself. Ignore that stupid woman, shame on her. Also remember that not of these consultants are qualified in anyway in nutrition or anything similar.

Yep yep yep

Jesus. A pound is literally the difference between taking a shit before the session and not.

Please don't take it to heart. The only person who embarrassed themselves is that twat at slimming world that's trying to shame you for half a pound.

Is it worth staying there OP? Are they making you feel awful regularly?

Yes i know its all a load of rubbish but going to the meetings does really work for me

It is yes if your age 20 and lose weight easily but if your older and find it hard to lose they are not intetested

Totally agree and i dont agree with eating treats it should be about healthy eating

It was her attitude that she wasnt listening to me..i ate exactly the same to the letter lost 4.5 pounds and then this week put on half a pound its not possible

If you like the meetings, this is part of the meetings, to get you to realise you’ve put on weight and get moaned at. That’s what it’s is, you have to take the rough with smooth.

It’s not for me, but that’s what the meetings are.

Yes totally agree

I have lost weight successfully with SW. I have never had that experience with a group lead. If the weekly weigh is the bit that works, you can attend another group, and you don’t to give a reason. You pays your money and takes your choice.,

Exactly!! Usually shes good i just felt she had it in for me as soon as i arrived

i ate exactly the same to the letter lost 4.5 pounds and then this week put on half a pound its not possible

It is possible. It may not be half a pound of fat, but it is certainly possible for the scales to say you are half a pound heavier. Your weight fluctuates so much each day, this is the kind of thing they should be explaining to you

It’s absolutely possible, water weight can send the scales up and down. All sounds abit odd storming out of a class because you were advised to check what you’d eaten.

Perhaps it’s the salt content of the food you’ve eaten.

It doesn’t sound like these sessions are good for you if they evoke this reaction when things don’t go your way.

I'm sorry about your experience. Public weigh-ins work for a lot of people; I don't think I could do it!

However I just wanted to say, cutting carbs last week will have been mostly a water weight loss, as carbs help you retain liquid (I did keto for a year).

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, only that, you wouldn't expect to lose 4.5lbs again this week. It would be more of a 4.5lbs first week, then .5-2lbs per week after or whatever.
