Anyone up for a slimming world WhatsApp group?

I’ve been piling on the weight over the last 6 months due to injury and crappy eating over Xmas but I’m ready to get back on the wagon now 💪 Going to do Slimming World but am time and money poor so will just be following the rules by myself.

Would love a WhatsApp group for accountability and sharing tips/recipes if anyone else is up for it?

I will 🙌
I’ve been at sw since September but I lose weight very slowly and then regain it very quickly- at Christmas I regained 8lbs, only just got that off, only for bloody Easter to come and there is another 3-5lbs gain that will take me weeks to get off. Well, not this time! I am on a mission now, 1lb a week for 8 weeks puts me pretty much at target but I know that while that sounds doable, for me it’s quite challenging and I need my head in the game!

The food holidays are so hard aren’t they 🙈 I lost a good stone and a half between jan and may last year and then came off the wagon. Wasn’t too bad til I had the injury in jan but have been awful since.

We need more people to make a group!

Me!

DailyFailstinks · 02/04/2024 22:38

I’d like to join please! I’m a SW member online - don’t like the groups but need something to keep me motivated.

User478 · 02/04/2024 22:41

Yes, but I have 3 Easter eggs (untouched so far!) that I don't want to chuck out. I suppose I could break them into 6 syn portions (although, does anyone else find that they munch so much when portioning out that they might as well have eaten the lot all at once anyway?!)

Twinstudy · 02/04/2024 22:41

Yes please 😁 just booked a holiday for September and I'm hoping that will give me some inspiration but I do need something to hold me accountable or I just cheat myself

QueenConsort · 02/04/2024 22:55

I'll join

BatFor · 02/04/2024 22:56

Ah lovely, I’ve set up a group and given it a super cheesy name so will pm you all the link now 😁🥗

SW has been scientifically proven not to work.80% of people go back and leave more than 15 times..
90% end up with an eating disorder.
Ask your GP to refer you to your practice nutritionist.

imperialqueen · 03/04/2024 00:55

@BatFor could I please join too, if I am not too late? Thanks very much. I did well on slimming world between Nov and Jan but I have been awful since February, would love a group for more accountability.

Can you link some studies that show 90% of people end up with an eating disorder? Because that sounds like bullshit.
95% of all diets fail, no need to single out SW.

Bet they're a disciple of RebelFit, where a bloke has somehow gained cult status by telling women that the main reason they're fat is from eating mullerlites and the only way to "recover" is by joining his Facebook group for £69.99 per 3 months.

Have sent the link to everyone who requested it 👍

Hi, could I join? Was going to actually join the group last week but decided to have a last ditch attempt at doing it myself at home. Would be nice to have some accountability for my actions 🤦‍♀️

🤣 As if every surgery has a nutritionist!

hottchocolatte · 03/04/2024 07:52

I'm need something like this but never tried SW

Summer5676 · 03/04/2024 08:14

Please can you add me too @BatFor . Thank you.

I really need the accountability of a group.

Porkydorky · 03/04/2024 10:23

@BatFor If it’s not too late would you mind adding me too? I’m in dire need of accountability but can’t make it to a group. Thanks

Tereseta · 14/04/2024 19:46

@BatFor could I join if not too late! Joined on Saturday and it's been a while since last in group, need some inspiration!

Hello. If it’s not too late, would you mind adding me too? Thank you. 🙂

Amdone123 · 22/05/2024 12:56

Can I join if it's not too late ?
I am on a group here and it's very supportive but more the merrier and I actually like the SW plan.

Noshowlomo · 22/05/2024 13:03

Can I please join as well ☺️
