They make it sound so lucrative though. It's like a cult. They used to harass me over and over to go to info evening to become a consultant. It was relentless and that was back in the early 00s

The money isn't great and its a lot more work than they tell you, you have to eat breathe and sleep sw and then that never good enough
They make out consultants all one big team and happy family but truly they all out for what they can get money wise
After covid and the prices went up (well you can charge what you want but sw will take £3 per person) it was all about numbers and money and that's not why I joined I joined to help people
But in the end sw gave me some serious issues with food and my self worth
Happy to answer any thing any one ever wanted to know about being a consultant

I hope you’re doing better now!
I am doing a little better thank you for askingI hope you’re doing better now!
Only left last year
Have struggled with my mental health tho not one member of my so called sw team or management has reached out and asked how I am
They all care when your bending over backwards for them and covering all the groups they can't get a consultant for but then once your not your dead to them lol
I just glad finally saw the light
Tho it scares me that there are still people that eat breathe sw and from there Instagram you can tell they have some kind of eating disorder
Even our district manager was calorie counting says a lot about the plan really
My group was recently ran by my areas person who scouts for consultants as my consultant was off ill...
genuine conversation...
Her: "My word, you're the one who has lost 13st aren't you? you'd be an amazing consultant, have you ever considered becoming one?"
Me: "Yes, and the simple answer is, I couldn't do it because I cannot be doing with all the excuses people use and, I probably should have led with this point, I don't like people either"
IF and its a bleeping MASSIVE IF I ever was to do it, it'd be like a bleeping concentration camp.

That's why I cannot stand people such as Fopperholic (Foperbollox to me) she lies and lies about her lifestyle, all while chirping about syns and free food
I've said on here before someone needs to go undercover into the main office to expose them! Toxic as hell
"tesco messed up my shopping order, and I went mad at the delivery driver so I had a binge and ate everything in sight" is my new fave excuse...it's straight from the snares bible of excuses.That's why I cannot stand people such as Fopperholic (Foperbollox to me) she lies and lies about her lifestyle, all while chirping about syns and free food

Can't poo or water retention is main ones use to get
And we where always told of some one had gained weight make sure they know its going to be syns why they have gained weight
Not the 6 tonne of pasta or the fact our weight goes up and down day to day
Also they are always trying to fill groups because if they have a group with a relief consultant or have to close a group the managers / td lose their bonuses
Also now any one can cover a group when normal consultant is off it doesn't have to be a trained consultant

Consultants are supposed to text you or keep you updated. Some people receive birthday cards. With the consultant we have now. She has never text any of us. I wasn’t able to make group once due to illness. I text her and rang her and I never got a response. I was charged double the following week. I even pay back fees when I am on holiday and I was told this week that I shouldn’t be charged for those. Im really angry about it, I was going to text her but she never replies anyway.
So one of the consultant clique or the weigh in lady? I used to be on the scales - I could have given a good sesh 3 years ago.
Can we please hear some more excuses 
They sound hilarious!
They sound hilarious!
Yeah, when you're on holiday you technically "book" holiday so you don't have to pay
I see snares is back posting on his sw insta if you want to see some inspiring posts
What exactly are consultants trained in???? Reading a script? Because nutrition definately isnt it. I've been to 3 different groups in my time and all consultants were over weight. None of them grasped weight fluctuations (which occur daily by the way so thay monday morning you "gained" a pound you probably didnt) they dont know anything about exercise for health (the amount that said about muscle weighing more then large....FFS barbara no it doesnt 1lb of large is the same as 1lb of muscle, so then tell you to stop exercising if you gain although it could be water retention from training). Ridiculing you if you gained. In my opinion it should just be a how did you get on this last week type question and not mentioning loss or gain then maybe the gainer wouldnt feel guilty and perhaps turn to a binge. They deffo dont teach you how to fix any behaviours to food. Synning foods making them seem bad is just plain stupid, I get it encourages less nutritious foods to be consumed but it also says avocados are the devil when they are not.
The whole bloody thing is messed up and I'm so glad people are opening their eyes to this food cult thing that's going on. Am I denying it works if you do the plan 100% (but also dont pig out on free foods just cause they are free) no? But all it's doing is putting you in a calorie deficit. You can be in a deficit and have consumed 50 sins in my opinion. So that's where I think mindful eating and possibly calorie counting is best

I was once told I need to use my syns else I will even gain.Can we please hear some more excuses
Your trained in the slimming world plan and how to deliver it
I used to be a weigh lady and I feel so ashamed of some of the tit I would tell people when they had a gain … “you’ve not been eating enough!” “You did go to the gym this week didn’t you, that’s probably it” “do you need to toilet?” “It’s a blip, you’ll have a huge loss next week”.
I had a really lovely consultant and our group was the ideal SW group, everything they wish all their groups could be, I lost 3 stone, got all the awards, became part of the team and the weigh lady, we were also supportive when someone was going through a bad time and I honestly loved it, was like an emotional support group. Her success became her downfall really, one session became two, became three and eventually five on the same day and it just lost what had made it so special.
What really did for me though was being the weigh lady, seeing people be either deliriously happy or so utterly crushed by a scale number and their week being ruled by it, they’d come in happy and feeling good, step on the scale and not get the result they expected and bam, their week was ruined. Just devastating to keep seeing and knowing that no one was being real with them, no one explaining how weight loss isn’t large loss and that hormones, age and so many things effect the number on the scale.
Saw so much disordered eating that always rang warning bells and then when I started following a few of the no nonsense fitness guys and they were laying into SW that I saw the light and realised just how bad it was, for it to survive it needs a massive overhaul. I learned some good stuff, don’t get me wrong, I’ll never buy tinned soup again because making soup is so easy, I made much more effort to cook and I still love the cottage cheese quiche, but never again will I make Pimms with balsamic vinegar or eat an entire cake made from cous cous or that bloody awful syn free cake
Anyone remember Weight Loss witch?
