Debbie's World she's lost over 15st. I follow her on Instagram too.

AliceBbw · 17/05/2019 09:36

Kate SW is a massive inspiration. Lost over 11 st. She's honest and she never gives up. Life hasn't been kind to her and she doesn**'t gloss over it. She also has some handy budgeting tips. She does lives on the gram every Thursday with Sarah SW and they never fail to leave you laughing and feeling positive.Sarah SW is good to. Not a fan of Fopaholic , Trim Tan or Jane Gammons . But they might float your boat.

I no longer follow SW but I used to follow Trim with Tan a lot when I followed Slimming World. She has fallen off the wagon quite a lot and gained some of the weight again. She's a lovely lady but most of these people keep throwing codes at you so that they can get commission (Skinny Coffee, JD Seasonings, SpicenTice). I've tried all of those except skinny coffee and I will say that it really isn't all that's cracked up to be! Trim with Tan's OLDER content from 2016-2017 are very good though. So I recommend TwT older contents. Gemma's Journey is good, too.

I’m not a fan of fopperholic

TSG1980 · 17/05/2019 13:28

The girl from Friday Finds is good but is now sponsored by a tshirt company and posts a lot of stuff that not your do with Slimming World. The Budget Slimmers got on my nerves they would bang on about how poor they were then act shocked when viewers sent them food. The Livingstones are ace but she never posts any more. Kate SW is another good one but she can look almost anorexic her face is so gaunt and palet in some videos. It's hard to believe she could have 6st left to lose more like 6lb if anything. Debbie's World is good but she had a haircut cut that made her look like Grayson Perry and I had to stop watching. My favourite is Ninking Ryan she's lost 3st in 3 months and has kept it off for years. She looks fab.

AliceBbw · 17/05/2019 19:36

I don't find Nikki Ryan relatable at all. Because of that I don't find her a SW inspiration. I do like how honest she is as a mum about things like letting her baby twins watch a lot of youtube and feeding them processed food. Let's be honest girls being a mum sometimes means putting the TV on so you can wash up and wee in privacy . Don't get me started on these SW YT mums and their kids . Feeding them like they are on a diet, never putting them to bed, not teaching them how to talk properly, ignoring them to film and the worst bit getting people to send their kids birthday and xmas presents coz they are on a budget .

Everythingmagnolia · 17/05/2019 19:42

I agree that Fopperholic is totally unrelatable. I used to enjoy Jane Gammons but she gained all her weight back and hasn't lost it again so she isn't inspiring although I do relate to her more.

There doesn't seem to be many good SW channels lately

AliceBbw · 18/05/2019 23:59

OMG she's gained it all back? WOW!

FFSeverynameisused · 19/05/2019 08:47

do not like fopperholic either. She's too false and smug. Agree she is not relatable.

I like Jack Towers, just for his story, although I don't agree with the skin surgery begging and haven't donated.

RuRuMaMa · 19/05/2019 16:28

Wasn't Towers on the news doing promotional thing for his go fund me?

I miss the inbuilt social media you get with WW.
I have looked at all your recommendations. A lot of them seem to not really be on it at all. Found a lady called A Snowy Journey with all the lols Grin but she is doing the opposite to me and leaving SW for WW.

All the others either were never on plan or didnt have a lot to lose. Debbies World and Jane Day have lost the kind of weight im lookibg to lose but they are about 20 years older than me so not relatable at all. Kate SW hasays lost what I need to lose but she's putting it all back on and that's made me feel like I am never going to lose it and keep it off.
HELP!

AliceBbw · 19/05/2019 21:52

How old are Jane and Debbie then?

I think Kate SW gaining it back because she has depression. Don't let someone on YT emotional eating putterly you off joining Slimming World.

Groovee · 19/05/2019 23:18

Debbie is younger than me. Think late 30's. Not to sure of her exact age. She's on Mumsnet.

RuRuMaMa · 20/05/2019 02:39

Debbie from Debbies World is never in her 30's Shock😄 is she?
I didn't know she had kids but I haven't watched much of her channel. How do you know she's on Mumsnet?

OP posts:
RuRuMaMa · 20/05/2019 02:43

Didn't know Kate SW was suffering with depression. That's kinda really sad. Here baby girl is just about the sweetest ever! Sad😯 Confused

RuRuMaMa · 20/05/2019 02:45

Sorry, I have only been watching these YT's for a couple of days.

OP posts:
Groovee · 20/05/2019 07:27

She doesn't but there are lots of boards on mumsnet that people use without having children.

TSG1980 · 20/05/2019 22:18

Who's Jane Day?

KnittingForMittens · 20/05/2019 22:48

Jane Day is also a SW vlogger on YouTube. She has lost a lot of weight and does one weekly video which is about 25-30 min long. I find her very interesting and she is against people who follow SW, advertising products to make money lol.

RuRuMaMa · 21/05/2019 00:07

I found Jane Day patronizing. Sorry (not sorry)

TSG1980 · 26/05/2019 19:41

Is Jane Gammons pregnant?

KnittingForMittens · 26/05/2019 22:35

@TSG1980 not that I know of? What signs has she been giving away?

TSG1980 · 27/05/2019 16:35

Long scarf covering what might be a bump and other things but could be wrong.

TSG1980 · 07/06/2019 22:50

Anyone sick of them all doing charity shop hauls. Lying about their weight and being generally stupid. Jayne Gammons has been stealing pebbles off the beach front for her tacky patio and then lying about it makes me sick.
