The consultant who ripped us off, gave money and food away to the social team members daughter made us aware of free rejoining as if nothing has ever happened. The community group is going well and we are still over £2 cheaper than slimmingworld as we run not for profit.

Mine (from 3 years ago!!!) did too, looking back on my texts with her, she's messaged every 6 months for last 2 years, I've never replied!
I told my last one she was rubbish and SW is a con in front of the group so doubt I’ll be hearing from her. 😂

Interesting trend I noticed near me is that theres only one group on a saturday morning in the big town near me but loads of groups in the outlying villages where the populations are older and probably have members who have been using it as a social club for years.
All the consultants are mostly over 50 too the youngest is the area manager and my old consultant and shes in her 40s.

It has definitely lost all appeal with the under 40s or even I daresay under 50s.

I joined a local one when I moved and it was literally an OAP social club….it felt so wrong as these lonely old dears were paying out every week for company as they sure as hell weren’t following the plan, most of them were putting weight on every week

I blocked mine after she invited me back 3 times. The woman had gained weight each week, over the 12 weeks I attended….witch, how are you gonna tell me how to lose weight when you clearly don’t take your own advice 😄😄

I haven’t heard from either of my old ones in ages. I could tell neither of them liked me as they both used to whizz through the motions with me in group then spend ages listening to war and peace from Tracey who was in tears cos she couldn’t stay away from the biscuit tin at work 😂😂

I do have really bad resting witch face to be fair 😂

My FB timeline is blowing up with SW consultants scrabbling for previous members to return (by dropping the joining fee if you have your old card/membership pack) and defending the current weekly fee as being less than 2 cappuccinos at Costa or fish n chips for one.
I’d rather have the fish and chips tbh

I am in no way defending any of them as individuals and agree the ball is a total farce but the reason a lot of them have put weight back on is because the plan is flawed and not sustainable to stick to all year round.

I know you said you’ve maintained a long time but you really are the 1%, most people don’t and it’s not all to do with not having any will power it’s just because the SW plan isn’t compatible with life long term. I am so happy when I was really slim from doing SW I didn’t self righteously broadcast it to the world like some of them as they must feel embarrassed about putting weight back on, I feel bad enough about it but at least it’s only people I know who remember.

I really do sound like I’m sticking up for SW Insta and I’m not 😂 SW just makes me angry 😂

Damocles has said before himself he never eats out or has takeaways and in 2 years has not had one off plan meal.
Normally people don't stick to plan that ridgidly

Yeah that isn’t a lifestyle for me to be honest I enjoy meals out and occasional takeaway all in moderation and I am happy with gains here and there as long as I can keep a healthy balance.
