Thread: Who stays for class .. do u find it helps with weight loss

For me it's quite simple I stay to group I'm more likely to have a good week. I don't and I will have a bad week! I love going to class

Yes I always stay to group, regardless of what the result is. Apart from being motivational, I like the social side too

The only thing I have to add, which may explain why some people do not stay is that having been a member for over a year now, Image Therapy does become a bit "samey"

However, it is fair to say that these same people who "weigh and run" because they DON'T like the same old, same old, are the ones who struggle with weightloss as presumably they can't handle sticking to the plan week after week?

Might be something in it

I do sw from home n lost
More since leaving - I hated class

"When you have a good week, your class needs you! When you have a bad week, you need your class!"

If I remember rightly SW have done research and people who stay to class tend to lose more than those who weigh and run ... reason enough for staying I would think

Honestly, I think it entirely depends on the group and the consultant - the first group I ever joined was amazing, really lively and friendly and the consultant was brill. She had lost over 10st herself, looked amazing and was really passionate about helping us. It was motivating, so inspiring and I went every week and stayed for the whole thing. Since then I have been to two or three other groups. While there was nothing particularly 'wrong' with them, I never found them as helpful as that first one. I'd stay for class, but didn't feel I was getting a lot out of it. Also, i found when I was going to class, if I moussed one because of work or something, that would trigger a fall off the wagon. I'm doing it at home this time.

I love class, I love my C and love the other members, I love being inspirational to others and love when I need inspiration from them.

Stay to class wins everytime for me x

I stay for most of image therapy - it's between 5.30 and 6.30, but I have to leave at 6.15 to get a bus home, so I've time to grab tea before I go to my chorus (go striaght to SW from work on the bus, and then am at chorus til 10) I do find it interesting, and it's nice to chat to the other members and get their hints and tips - especially as there are a few target members in the group!

I'm part of the social team at my group, I love the interaction with everybody, and I love helping people if they've had a bad week because motivating them, motivates me to stay on track.
Everybody is really friendly and my consultant is fabulous. The amount of times I've looked up syn values for other members, and told new members they shouldn't be having things like flavoured water etc. it is an amazing feeling helping other people! & by doing that it helps me keep on track too
