I'm just not getting much motivation from listening to the same questions to different people every week. Then some people just love the sound of their own voices!! Thankfully I haven't had a gain but I feel for the people who are red in face when the consultant tells all how much of a gain they had. Is there really any need for us all to know what each other did at the scales? As I said I like the SW program but prefer the WW meetings.

One of the groups I visited had a brilliant consultant, but had no idea about keeping things on track and maintaining the flow. Funny you should mention the mobiles, if my consultant sees someone concentrating on it instead of listening, she finds a question to ask as if by magic all of a sudden all the other mobiles vanish Would you feel at all comfy mentioning it to your consultant ? they can only improve by feedback as you're likely not the only person feeling it. At the end of the day you are paying for a service and the consultant wants to keep their numbers up. Just a though

I also follow her snapchat and she comes across as verrry sensitive and not at all thick skinned. Someone messaged her on it and told her she was being rude (in fairness she wasnt really, just said she wouldnt be repeating herself) and she had a mini meltdown on it, came on snapchat with tears in her eyes expalining why she was so upset, and went on and on about it like some huge drama. When she finally showed the "mean" message, it was something so minor I was honestly a bit amazed it was enough to upset a grown woman. I think I need to find a new class ultimately, but something in my schedule will have to give first! For now, just skipping the meetings seems like my best option.

I'd love to go to a different class but between work and my other committments, its the only one I can realistically make on a regular basis. I did go to my only other viable alternative once and it was just as packed and although the consultant was maybe a stronger character, there were so many people in the room clearly having a great time that the whole thing was just a bit rowdy (and therefore time consuming.)

I do SW online but I'm tempted to pop into a meeting to buy some. I loved the mint ones and now that I'm seeing the bars all over FB and Instagram I'm longing for them!

I follow on Facebook an English SW group. I've found that page more inspiring and great for tips more than any meeting I've been to. Also this clapping business, drives me insane. A lady who put up 2.5lbs shared where she went wrong. Then we clapped her after for sharing. My eyes were rolling big time!!

Like the consultant will go around everybody " hey mr eircomsucks bad week , what needs to change" etc , i think they should disclose their weekly weights Rant over
Winnie21 wrote: » I agree. My consultant has a lot of weight to lose and since I started sw she doesn't look like she's lost a pound. I think they should be weighing in too as part of the class and they should be discussing their own journey. It's really not motivating. I don't understand really how these people are representatives for sw yet are really terrible advertisements for it.
