Wow Marcia I’m shocked at your consultant!! That statement could have lead you down a dangerous road of negativity around food! I still enjoy SW and am at target however I’ve always eaten seeded bread and count it as a B choice. Life is too short to eat things you don’t really want. We are educated women and want to live a full life not to worry about how many syns or too many A or B choices we have had today. Excited for you and will be supporting you all the way 💪💞
Thanks my love. The thing is she is very dedicated to her role but I really don’t think she realised what she did …. Or did she? Either way it was a wake up call for me. Luckily I’ve never had a negative relationship with food but this could have been different for someone else. Glad you are still at target hun. Sounds like you’ve got it just right for you and your life ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I appreciate your support xxxxx
Hi Maracia I know where your coming from I’m getting fed up with it me and my husband go out for coffee once a week as he works and he does like to get us a muffin and I get so cross as I can’t have it and life’s to short xx
It really is babe. I mean life without a cake …. Is that even a life?? You should never feel negative about a muffin. I hope you find something that works for you hunny. I’m going to be brutally honest about my new journey so I hope this will help. keep the faith my darling. Life is just too short xxx
You've lost STONES of weight...reached target, and earned the right to eat a teacake if you want to 💕 Imagine that consultant messaging you, what an absolute cheek!
Thanks lovely. It got worse. She then took screen shots of my social media when I was on a night out and sent a text to her friend slagging me off but she sent the message to me by mistake - I reported her to slimming world HQ … so shocking xx
That’s exactly how I feel, I’m in my 70’s and refuse to stop having a toasted tea cake or a cake or chocolate. It’s taken me 18 months to lose 2 stone and I still go to group because I absolutely know if I stop going I’ll put it all back on again. And more. It’s great that you can eat so much on the plan but God, at my age I’m not doing without the things I love. I’d be as miserable as sin. Life’s too short. Sue.
That’s a really good loss my love - well done. You sound like you have your lifestyle sorted just as thought be. Life really is too short hunny. You’ve just got to eat the cake and be happy. Thankyou so much for taking the time to comment. I hope you come back to see how I get on. I’d love to hear how you are doing xxx
@@ladymawa I’ll definitely be back to see how you are doing, I enjoy all your videos - and your accent lol. I’m originally from Leeds. It’ll be a gain when I get weighed tomorrow, I broke open a child’s selection box I’d bought 😂 I will replace it and not eat the next 😇 xx
So glad you’ll be back - love Leeds - only 20 minutes away. Oh hun …. I feel your pain …. A few years ago I had the same thing with a chocolate orange - but I kept replacing and eating, replacing and eating - 6 times🤣🤣🤦🏼♀️ The temptation is real 🤣🤣♥️ Good luck hunny xxxxx
I wish you all the best on your new journey ,you sound very positive and ready to change your lifestyle.I left SW and did the NHS 12 week calorie plan for a month or two then i slipped up.I recently got a TKR so i cant ecercise but i still love counting the calories and im losing the lbs.I need too write everything down to track better but i can have what i want ,most of it being healthy.Looking forward to your vlogs.xx.
You should definitely do what is best for you! Only you know what that is. I'm proud of you for taking your health seriously! I'm looking forward to seeing your new journey!❤❤❤
It’s great to see how happy and positive you are about your new journey. I’m sure you will do really well and enjoy having a much less restricted choice of food. I’ve been doing Nutracheck and I love it! I’ve lost 2 stone 😊 I really enjoy scanning my food and logging it. It’s so easy. I also have upped my protein intake as it really helps with feeling more satiated. Good luck and keep us updated xx
Well done my love on such a brilliant weight loss! I’m going to use mfp to scan my food in and see where I’m at. Thankyou for supporting me - I really appreciate it. Good luck with the rest of your journey xxx
I too stepped away from SW for similar reasons....whilst I'm grateful for the weight I did lose, I know I couldn't continue feeling restricted. Currently working on the right journey for me & looking forward to seeing your new journey!😊❤ xx
Makes sense,used to love slimming world but not any more too restrictive,loved the green and red days fell out of love with diet,like you going to sort my own plan doing lot of research but want to enjoy foods I like
Wow that consultant is way out of order. What my consultant says is if you decide to eat something just be aware that you may not get the results you hope for. He says its your journey, I am not here to tell you what to eat, I am only here to advise and support you. I would never allow someone to chastise me like I'm a child. I love SW because I need structure personally but I agree that to have a teacake for your lunch isn't any different than eating a jacket potato with beans and cheese. You have to do what is right for you and I support you all the way my lovely. We are all trying to reach the same goal and if that takes a different route then it doesn't mean we can't still support each other. Although you aren't doing SW and I am doesn't stop us sharing our journey's together. I am sure you can achieve what you want and I wish you all the best lovely Marcia. Kind regards Angeline ❤️🌹❤️ xx
Thankyou so much hun. There are many positives to SW and the group support can be very special indeed. I have made some lovely friends over the years. I hope you continue to enjoy your group and Thankyou for supporting me on my journey xxx
To add scales don’t always show weight loss, measure your self . I now focus on moving more and eat lots of veg and protein for nutrition. Xxxxx Do what’s right for you marcea. You look fab anyway . ❤❤❤❤❤
This is the reason why I stopped SW years ago , it depressed me . I would be so restricted all week and only lose half a pound which in turn depressed me , and I would then have a blow out . I now eat in moderation, eat what I want when I’m out , and enjoy life . Jo wicks calls the scales the sad step which is so true . Life is too short . BTW I’m slimmer than I was on slimming world .
I used to measure myself and I’ve been forgetting, must do it again. I have a bit of a blow out after group, I look forward to that. I don’t get any exercise which is silly but I eat lots of veg - most days. It does tend to rule our lives doesn’t it. When my countdown ends I might take a break.
The sad step …. Actually so true, never thought of that. So pleased you are happy now and have found your way to live your best life. This is so inspiring ♥️♥️♥️
I've just found you and so looking forward to seeing how you do. I'm an ex S.W. and felt same way. I'm I my 70s and just want to be healthy. So good luck x
Like your video on the truth that you said. I want to build muscle and lose fat . slimming world is not going to make that happen me building muscle and losing fat to what it says on the scales for a success in the group every week
👏🏼👏🏼 this is why i will never do slimming world again. They have people running these classes who have zero knowledge on nutrition. Not being mean but alot of the time they cant manage their own weight. Because they cant impart nutritional knowledge yes people may very well get to target, but not learn anything so it goes back on. This means the circle starts again and youre paying them again. Im a big fan of 80% nutritonally dense 20% shite, do your steps. Theres no such thing as naughty food its either nutrient dense or not. We need fat to be able to absorb certain minerals.. sorry for this being long i can bang on all day 😂😂
Thanks hun …. To be honest I’ve felt like this for a while. It’s not sat right with me for years really and I don’t know why I even went back. Sometimes you just need a comment about a blumming toasted teacake to make you see the light lol. I know exactly what I need to do, I’m not daft, just been in a rut and now I’m free. I totally agree with everything you’ve said ♥️. Keep banging on - I love it. Thanks for taking the time to comment. …. I feel so liberated xxxxx
Hubby lost 6 stone (from 18 stone to 12ish) through low carbing (kept it off for 4 years). No calorie counting - weight lifting and walking. Never hungry. Eats loads of meat and eggs. Still has loads of beer on weekends. He thinks SW is a load of rubbish. You look fab anyway - life is for living!❤
I got to target about 17 months ago and haven’t been at that weight hardly since. I just keep paying up every week and getting nowhere. I’ve had one text from my consultant in that time saying did I want some help but the next week at weigh in she said nothing, it made me feel that that text was probably automated. Want to eat unprocessed food now but it’s difficult fitting syns to food that is full fat and has no additives in it. I’m getting towards giving up SW.
I refuse to join any diet club to tell me what I already know. I've devised my own plan, which is working for me. I eat minimal carbs all day but eat my normal evening meal. There are no puds or sweets during the week but weekends I take off. Puds, sweets if I want them. But as I'm getting used to not having them in the week. I'm not looking for them at the weekend. I'm trying to think, pre 1980. We only started getting fat when fast food hit the streets. Avoid processed food, but keep them for treats if you must. I don't feel like I'm missing out.
I know. I totally agree my love. I have a lot of knowledge around nutrition particularly with my job prior to retiring. I’m feeling so good that I’ve finally let go of SW and can just apply what I already know. It sounds like you are in a great place with your lifestyle. I also agree full about the fast food culture. Hope you continue to enjoy your journey. Thankyou so much for taking the time to comment - much appreciated xx
I've always thought that as soon as you restrict something in your diet then that becomes pretty much all you can focus on (a bit like not needing the loo until you pass the sign that says next services in 10 miles, and then suddenly you're bursting!) Also, I have always wondered about SW and how the weigh-ins work if you are losing weight (fat & size) but gaining muscle mass, because as far as I know muscle mass weighs more, so you might be gaining in all the right ways and never know, and still punishing yourself by eating even less as a result! I'm trying to keep a food diary for the rest of this year mostly to find out what and how much I'm eating, and then if it turns out I'm doing fine on the amount of calories but I'm just eating too much crap, then I can look to make swaps in some places and for the things I can't do without trying to work in some more exercise to counter things. You're quite right that in the end it all boils down to spending more calories than you take in. xx
I love your comments ♥️ I completely agree with everything. Hope your food diary goes well. It’s a good way to touch base and reconnect with what you are eating on the day to day. I’m completely done with SW now. I’m looking forward to a healthier mindset. Have a lovely week xxx
Hi Marcia, she really should know better in her line of work. I don’t blame you at all for leaving. You do you as they say. You are not a stupid woman do it your way think healthy but happy. Take carexx
Thanks love. I actually feel liberated. I’m not mad about the comment - it was actually helpful because it finally made me realise that slimming world really is not for me at all. I’ll never go back xxx
Have you all watched Lauren Slims , she is smashing SW. The thing is a jacket with tuna & sweetcorn with fill you up more than a teacake , a teacake is yummy but sugar & empty carbs . A good eay to do SW is to not have treats everyday & save syns for a treat like a teacake. A lot of TH-camrs are leaving SW now & trying new things. I hope it works for you , will be interesting to see how it goes. Good luck ❤
Hiya Yes I have seen her videos - she’s doing so well. I completely understand about what to eat with SW but my point is that the plan does not allow you to go out and have a coffee and cake if you want- that for me is just not real life. I didn’t want a jacket potato that day, I wanted something in Costa. I think SW does work but at a personal cost which is why so many people are leaving (not just TH-camrs). I’m really excited to be able to have the freedom to have seeded bread if I want and to feel less restricted over all. I’ll be sure to keep you all updated with my progress. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment hun - thanks xx
@@ladymawa Oh yes I so understand & you do what suits you. I understand that part, the times we have chased around trying to find a jacket with beans out lol to stick on plan which seems ridiculous doesn't it. Will follow you to see if it could work for me, I'm stuck between SW & over eaten, it's a difficult place 🌹
It really is hard my darling. I’m just looking for a new way to get to where I want to be. I think that flexibility within choosing what to eat is the way forward. I’ll try to document my journey (good and bad, pros and cons) as I go. Good luck to you sweetie … ♥️
This is exactly why i came away from SW too, i felt too restricted, there has been time in the last 6 months Ive thought about going back and then remember all the food and drink ( mainly cocktails and gin) i’m ‘not allowed’ and changed my mind again 😂
Well I joined Zoe personalised nutrition, purely for health and not weight loss, but have lost a stone over about 6 months. It’s been a huge surprise but I never feel hungry. I have almost cut out ultra processed foods and eat in a completely different way to suit my body given my fat and sugar responses. I’m very happy and feel really good but it’s not for everyone and it probably wouldn’t suit you. I’m also looking at weight training reluctantly. I don’t love it but at my age and with osteoporosis need it. I do around 15,000 steps a day. Lots of yoga. What your consultant said was awful. Very intrusive. What on earth also is wrong with seeded bread? I’m just eating what suits my body and supports my health, but Zoe says no food is forbidden, just eat better choices the rest of the time to balance it out.
That’s brilliant hun …. Congratulations on your weight loss and improved health. I bet you will start to enjoy your weights …. Do let me know how you get on. I’m excited to start my new journey xxx
I meant to say though …. You can’t have hot chocolate AND a cake/toasted teacake and stay within your daily syns. That’s my point. Good luck though with your journey my love. I used to do the same re synning hot chocolate/lattes etc xx
Ah it’s ok. I really don’t mind because it was just what I needed to hear. It helped me make the decision that I’d been dithering over for a while xxx thanks for the love xxxx

Well done to you ,some consultant belittle you, good luck to you be happy x
Thankyou so much hunny. Feeling really good about my decision xxx

Really rude About the tea cake under pressure tell her to go away ❤
Ah it’s ok. I really don’t mind because it was just what I needed to hear. It helped me make the decision that I’d been dithering over for a while xxx thanks for the love xxxx
U look too young wow u look amazing ❤
Thankyou so much - that’s really lovely of you xx
Sounds like a shocking SW consultant. Everything in moderation. Love a hot cross bun or toasted teacake!
She was quite something. She had huge groups though but does tend to shame people. I’m glad I’ve stepped away. Xxx
