Absolutely brilliant. I loved your rant massively. I left slimming world last week as I no longer wanted to be in a cult and I told the leader this. All those fat people and nobody is allowed to use the word fat. I've just been to the supermarket and bought olive oil and proper bread that you cannot see through if you hold it up to the light. I will shortly be in the pub with mates with a large glass of wine and not give. Shit. You have made me feel so much better. Thanks.
I've tried them all, Slimming World, Weight Watchers etc, ha ha, here's a poem I wrote about it: (there's also a video on my TH-cam channel Mrs Yorkshire) The Fat Club It must have been the menopause or maybe her big bones She was partial to Snickers, she’d outgrown her knickers She’d put on a couple of stones She’d tried every fad diet going, had even considered cocaine But what a disaster, it made her eat faster Her waistband was starting to strain So off to the fat club went Mary to downsize her burgeoning butt To curb her indulges and banish the bulges She’d turned into Jabba the Hutt Preparing herself for the weigh in, she made sure she’d been to the loo That thin, flimsy dress made her lighter I guess And thank goodness she’d just had a poo The lady in charge had a food plan, it seemed to involve lots of greens Making chips with Fry Light it was all pretty shite Oh she’d never get into her jeans Poor Susan had been to a wedding, she’d put on two pounds in a week She’d had a bad day but they clapped anyway It was rapidly looking quite bleak To cap it all off there was Janet, she’d managed to gain half a stone She’d been on the booze, just come back from a cruise And acquired a suspected gallstone So Janet went off to the doctors, he had good and bad news to give He said with a shrug, “it’s a flesh eating bug - But you’ve got 50 years left to live!” Carol Ellis, March 2017
Tbf I used to be fat and lost all my weight at slimming world and now live a much better life for it so while it may seem bat-shit crazy it worked for me and others I know
The biggest issue is that it's not sustainable at all, everyone I know who's done it will always put it all back on. There is no silver bullet for weight loss, just exercise more and monitor what you're eating and reduce accordingly, my fitness pal is helpful.
Oh yeah (remembering) they did a skit on it as well.....seriously though checkout the League of Gentleman's sketches on it....harsh would be an understatement!!
Lloyd Naylor I can't profess to be an expert on The League of Gentlemen, but I have watched quite a lot of it and I can't find anything about a weight loss club even when I Google it. Are you thinking of the Job Centre sketch? Where she's obsessed with pens
Russell you are absolutely brilliant And so true I know 2 women who used to go to slimming world yes lost weight But within a short time put all the weight back on again Why because they went back to eating the same rubbish before they went to slimming world And I agree all these slimming places a complete rip off
They recruit in supermarkets. I was approached by them and felt insulted as I had a BMI of 24 at the time. I felt very insulted. They would have probably tried to recruit me if I weighed a stone less than I did then and was a dress size smaller.
My mum used to go and it was in this bit of a church hall and there was a stage and behind the stage was religious props, there was even a Jesus statue back there.I know because I hid there and read. It is a cult.
As a slimming world member who has literally just searched “slimming world conspiracies”.... yeah i know, don’t ask! I am now in agony from laughing so hard 😂😂😂
I have a good and simple way to lose weight eat less and move more. I walk a lot and not only does it make me lose weight it is good for your mental health thanks
Ok, watched your video. I began Slimming World fresh and new on January 1st. Had lost 5 stones, sadly gained it all back but 7 lbs. thinking I could handle this issue with intuitive type eating. No, that did not work for me. Not at all! So from January 1st to February 1st, lost an incredible 19.2 lbs. Call it water retention, whatever you please, this is no cult. Weight Watchers by the way does not work. I either maintain or gain on it. I’m American from Florida. We Southern people eat both healthy and not healthy. Slimming World either works for you or not but I don’t eat your Jaffa Cakes, Walker’s crisps or Cadbury Chocolates. I don’t eat sweets, junk food or fast food. I eat the foods on the lists and my Syns are condiments and a little more healthy A or B type choice looking at the quantity and the Syn numbers. I think that as much as it is helping my UK Cousins, it should be here in the United States saving lives and I believe in their science more because it is working very well for me. I also don’t overeat. My portions are sensible. I don’t push the sodium and sugar such as I don’t eat baked beans knowing it is too salty and sugary for my body to handle.
Well ... sorry totally disagree.. I have lost 5 stone and NOBODY!! sounds you out for eating anything you shouldn’t have.. and my leader is a very slim lady.. So you are wrong!!

The syns are mental. I mentioned this to a girl at work and she flipped at me because she’s part of the cult. 😆
Love this man. He makes me feel human again. I want and get funny looks and feels nice to have someone the same 😘😘😘
I agree russ I'm in slimming world its cliquey and a cult joined last march no body talks to me thinking of leaving
"You dirty bitch Debbie"! lolz
Russell is so hilarious, it's a crime he doesn't have more subscribers to his channel.
Wow, just checked FB, your vids have got so much more views on there. You & Rob Beckett must be the funniest men in the country!
I lost it at 1:07 😂😂😂 it reminded me of my morbidly obese PE teacher 😂😂😂
I wonder if the 32 dislikes are 32 members of the cult..🤔😂😂
I've tried them all, Slimming World, Weight Watchers etc, ha ha, here's a poem I wrote about it: (there's also a video on my TH-cam channel Mrs Yorkshire)
The Fat Club
It must have been the menopause or maybe her big bones
She was partial to Snickers, she’d outgrown her knickers
She’d put on a couple of stones
She’d tried every fad diet going, had even considered cocaine
But what a disaster, it made her eat faster
Her waistband was starting to strain
So off to the fat club went Mary to downsize her burgeoning butt
To curb her indulges and banish the bulges
She’d turned into Jabba the Hutt
Preparing herself for the weigh in, she made sure she’d been to the loo
That thin, flimsy dress made her lighter I guess
And thank goodness she’d just had a poo
The lady in charge had a food plan, it seemed to involve lots of greens
Making chips with Fry Light it was all pretty shite
Oh she’d never get into her jeans
Poor Susan had been to a wedding, she’d put on two pounds in a week
She’d had a bad day but they clapped anyway
It was rapidly looking quite bleak
To cap it all off there was Janet, she’d managed to gain half a stone
She’d been on the booze, just come back from a cruise
And acquired a suspected gallstone
So Janet went off to the doctors, he had good and bad news to give
He said with a shrug, “it’s a flesh eating bug -
But you’ve got 50 years left to live!”

I went tonight. There was a kit kat easter egg on display with a sticker that said 67 syns...... I'll take 2 lol
"mathematically pointless" lol Great vid Russell!
omg, i am laughing so much that a little bit of wee came out hahahahahahahahaha
Tbf I used to be fat and lost all my weight at slimming world and now live a much better life for it so while it may seem bat-shit crazy it worked for me and others I know
Did you manage to keep it off?
This was friggin hilarious lol, wise words at the end :)
Slimming world can f**k off.... hahhhaha! Love it mate!
I'm in slimming world but I find this hilarious 😂😂😂
The biggest issue is that it's not sustainable at all, everyone I know who's done it will always put it all back on.
There is no silver bullet for weight loss, just exercise more and monitor what you're eating and reduce accordingly, my fitness pal is helpful.
I went with my mum for support once and they have syn free food, which they claimed you can eat as much of as you'd like. big mistake.
You are bloody brilliant 😂😂😂
Brilliant as always Russ :)
Have you ever seen The League of Gentlemen slimming world stuff? Bloody classic👍
Lloyd Naylor Do you not mean Little Britain?
Oh yeah (remembering) they did a skit on it as well.....seriously though checkout the League of Gentleman's sketches on it....harsh would be an understatement!!
Lloyd Naylor I can't profess to be an expert on The League of Gentlemen, but I have watched quite a lot of it and I can't find anything about a weight loss club even when I Google it. Are you thinking of the Job Centre sketch? Where she's obsessed with pens
I think you're right!!! Oops ..what the hell was I thinking....DOH!!
lol please excuse my muppetry :)
I only went once to slimming World.
When someone lost weight every one would start clapping like demented Seals.
Russell you are absolutely brilliant
And so true
I know 2 women who used to go to slimming world yes lost weight
But within a short time put all the weight back on again
Why because they went back to eating the same rubbish before they went to slimming world
And I agree all these slimming places a complete rip off
Being overweight myself I probably laughed way too much at this. Funny shit lol
This actually made me piss myself laughing 😂 Bin bag full of snickers. Hahaha!!!
They recruit in supermarkets. I was approached by them and felt insulted as I had a BMI of 24 at the time. I felt very insulted. They would have probably tried to recruit me if I weighed a stone less than I did then and was a dress size smaller.
Bin bag of snickers?! Lol
Wise words indeed.

My mum used to go and it was in this bit of a church hall and there was a stage and behind the stage was religious props, there was even a Jesus statue back there.I know because I hid there and read. It is a cult.

As a slimming world member who has literally just searched “slimming world conspiracies”.... yeah i know, don’t ask!

Get your point, but after 25 years of being fat and miserable, the SW plan was the only thing that got me slim.
