    I pay my subs, I pay petrol money to get there often trying to break my neck via the supermarket and other engagements and I'm more than happy to help others on here.

    Not been on for a while, so thought I'd catch up. Everyone seems to be doing amazingly well and even those that are alittle disappointed with their loses should be proud of themselves for sticking with it. Those just starting out, trust me, this plan really does work. Well I had WI on Thursday and managed to lose another 3lbs taking me to 2 st 11lbs lost since mid April and I'm absolutely over the moon with that. Unbelievably I've still had hardly any comments about my weight loss even though even I can see the difference now, and some of my clothes are too big to wear anymore. I've still got roughly another 2 stone to lose though so may be I'll get some comments soon. Keep up the good work everybody, I'm off to the comping board now to see whats been going on over there whilst I've been AWOL, might see some of you there.

    Hey join the 2 stone 11 club!! :T:rotfl:

    Hear, hear. It's all about helping each other. In fact, I went to WI this morning, did not stay for Image Therapy as I had the kids with me and forgot to ask for the password. So if anyone could PM it to me please that'd be fab!!! :rotfl:

    Just half a pound off for me this week but have now lost 2 stone 11.5lb so heading in the right direction.

    Penny whilst I understand your sentiments,I don't think they are entirely fair.I for one would happily pay my weekly fees if there was a consultant in my area worth the money!I have tried both the classes in my local area and I'm sorry but they were both absolutely hopeless!Disinterested,uninspirational and frankly, boring.I attended 3 meetings at each class (I joined twice approx 2 1/2 years apart and when I checked the website they were both still there) and when I left/didn't return neither of them even bothered to contact me - which I've since been told they should?!I think if you're are lucky enough to have a great consultant you're blessed but if you're not then you can end up feeling ripped off and unsupported,whether you can afford the fees or not.This is the reason many people don't go to their local class.

    I,for one,don't miss my 'ANNE DIAMOND' lookalike,soundalike and excusealike.This particular woman was a very large lady,which is fine,however she had been with SW for about 10 years!Sorry but when she used to go on about the way the 'plan' USED to be,and have 2/3/4 lb gains herself each of the weeks I was there,I used to go home feeling stupid!Never in the history of the world has a woman retained so much water,apparently.She must have been building a dam in her bladder!

    The other consultant had clearly lost a lot of weight,she had the photos to prove it,however she seemed extremely miserable about it and only appeared to own one pair of trousers,and they were obviously 'before' trousers!Several members asked me jokingly what I thought of her before and after pics,and what I thought of her 'now' pics!And her trousers!She would whisper about this,that and the other whilst the louder members of the group shouted over her,and the woman next to me (whom I knew from the pub I worked in) asked me how many flexi days I could get away with and still lose weight?!I knew just from what she drank in the pub she was having at least 4 a week herself!I was astonished when I walked in and saw her there,I never would have guessed she was trying to lose weight.

    So I'm sorry but,no,I won't be going to class again unless the consultants in my area change!

    Kelly - your post made me laugh about your lady with the big trousers.:rotfl: :rotfl: It reminds me of years ago when I went to SW (but only needed to lose a stone then and did so quickly) the counsellor used to always call Quiche "QWISH" and we would be tiddling ourselves every time she said it. We used to direct questions to her so she HAD to say the word. She also used to wear sandals and her feet were always filthy!!:eek: :eek:

    Going back to your reply - it wasn't just me who said that about the password - I did say there was much discussion about it at group last week.
    Not that it matters much because if some don't feel it's right to pass on the Password, there will always be people who will.

    I just thought I'd add that to the pot because several people asked for it and it was therefore topical. It was just an observation, same as people comment on whether they prefer Red to Green days or how many syns they can function on etc. and, indeed, what they think of their Counsellor!;)
