And for the affiliate links!

First time poster in this thread, hello. I've done SW a few times but nowadays I'm very vocal about how it's a con and relies on people failing. Some of the tripe that the consultants used to come out with in my group was just dangerous. I got cancer in lockdown and during my treatment needed to be weighed every day - I actually fell back into old SW habits (didn't have too much to eat beforehand, nipped to the loo even if didn't need it, wore light clothes) and I'm angry at myself that I was secretly pleases watching those numbers go down rather than focusing on what was important!

I didn't realise there was a such a massive SW IG cult, and these threads have been really eye opening! Some of the stuff about "unofficially" losing weight but gaining on a different group's scales (must be the calibration) is brilliant 😂

I hope the cancer has now gone and you are doing well.

I’m wholly expecting Slimming World to be sold off to an American company in the near future as it must be a cash cow. Does anyone know how much profit they actually make? Would be interesting. Unless they are already owned by one? Does that Margaret still own it?

They tried rolling it out in the states about 15 years ago. There were some in person groups near Texas (I think) it was mainly online though. They could have English muffins as a Hex B was a controversial thing I remember. Not long after WW started adopting their plan that was really similar to the SW one.

Does Beckscross have her own thread? Does anyone else follow?
Don’t generally mind her from a sw perspective, she tends to eat more of the ready meal style stuff but is quite good at sticking to the plan. But my god, she must do a clothing haul of oversized jumpers and hoodies three times a week. I don’t know where she gets the money, and am convinced she can’t wash any of her clothes, just disposes and buys new because NO ONE needs that much stuff.

Yes they did I remember that. I'm sure there are sw groups all over Europe. I think you can use the app abroad too

I went to group this morning and lost 3 pounds. I was feeling very good until the consultant told us all about the Slimming World Oscars? Have any of you ever heard of it? The thought of the sort of people who attend that make me want to projectile vomit. Put me down for 4 pounds loss next due to excess vomiting.
