I'm guessing they haven't got enough fibre in them to be a healthy extra:(

I've got a good 3 stone to lose before target (only started 3 months ago) so becoming a consultant is not something I'll be undertaking for a while yet. Especially as it seems from the little bit of research I've done that I'd have to save up quite a lot to buy into the franchise. I'd be worried sick that I wouldn't make the money back...

....... now there are just three prizes all of which cost under £1 each (last week for example, celery, strawberries & some microwave pots) - it's no wonder people feel like they're being short changed when the tickets themselves cost £1!

You would make the money back, no problem. The franchise is around £1000 now I believe (gone up a lot since I started) but in a successful group (over about 50 members) you'd draw 50% of what was paid in in fees (not sales of biscuits etc). So 50 members, paying £5 (for round figures) would net you £125 for the night. It doesn't take long at that rate to get your initial outlay back.

However, they don't tell you how many hours you actually end up putting in. I was told that it would just be a few hours a week, but in reality, with the regular leaflet drops (always have to be done on Bank Hol Monday), shopping for raffle prizes, midweek support for members, finding and printing off recipes, attending meetings etc etc, it can be hard to do it properly if you work full time as well, which many Consultants do.

Nevertheless, it's the best job in the world when you see all these butterflies emerging from their cocoons as painfully shy bigger women gradually gain a shape and blossom, it's just brilliant

Incidentally, raffle tickets are supposed to be no more than 50p each - from the Consultants handbook!

Thanks for the advice Consultant, it's definitely going to be something I'll consider once I reach target. I'm hoping to be working part time anyway soon, so the extra hours shouldn't be a problem. I just need to reach that stage where I've got a grand to spare now!

An open question to everyone here; what do you consider to be the best part of your group session/what would you like to see being included alongside the weight results & general discussion?

Beany Sausage sounds lovely. I'll have to give that a go with Quorn sausages.

I think the best part about the Slimming World group I attend is that everybody talks to one another and helps one another along - we're a really close group and I like that. All new members' are welcomed and included.:D

The thing I would like more of is more inspiring receipes (there haven't been any added to the receipe folder since I joined 18 months' ago; despite the fact I've been giving our Consultant new receipes!!) and a basket of packets of food with syn values written on it.

L/T - noodles, mushrooms, onions, tomato, beans, 2 quorn sausages chopped up all fried in frylite, glass diet cola

Thanks for the Chilli recipe, can I use any other beans as we don't like kidney beans if so what would be best?

I use baked beans in chilli as my OH won't eat kidney beans. It always tastes yummy to me!
