Miss Slinky nominations.......admit it over here.....worst competition name ever!

[calzone]

And yes, despite my horror at the name of the award, I was nominated.

Which is flattering but reminds me of cheesy beauty pageants.......

Who has been nominated on Mumsnet? Confess all.

I was nominated but messaged my consultant person to decline. Nooooo way was I going through that! :o

I was nominated! But didn't win lol

Congrats calzone

We need a sash emoticon

I do fall downstairs a lot.......

Congratulations! I was not nominated

I just knew that I was going to win last year, as I'd just reached target, losing nearly 5 stone. I seriously considered not going that week I was so about the whole slinky thing.

I did go though and my sash now hangs proudly from my kitchen door.

I have a sash too.

I got nominated, I feel chuffed, I joined the group on my own and didn't know anyone there. I think it's really lovely that the group nominated me, they're a friendly bunch. I'm going to take along my fat pants to next week's group .

Is it the time of year for this award then? Never heard it mentioned at club before.

Yes it should have been done this week

None of the winners got a sash this year in the groups I know of. Perhaps they stopped them?

The consultant has to buy the sashes in, some choose not to...but they should still run the competition.

I agree - it's a terrible name. But I find all the SW competitions totally cringeworthy - Woman and Man of the Year, Target member of the year, Miss Slinky.

In my group the Miss Slinky winner plays rugby and is built like a rugby player. She's a lovely person and is doing really well with her weight loss - she has lost a few stone already in the time it has taken me to lose just over a stone, but slinky is the last thing she is .

I have won a Miss Slinky award too . It was a nice surprise and I have a lovely sash and certificate

I don't like the competitions although perhaps that's just down to my group. The same people always get nominated so it's always the same few who win everything. It ends up as a bit of a popularity contest in my opinion, as it comes down to how well your group know/like you so they nominate/vote for you, rather than it being due to what you've actually achieved.

Sorry, don't mean to take anything away from those who have won, as I said I think it's down to my group rather than the competitions themselves!
