Hi Donna. I was quite like you when i first went to group, i was nervous about it and quite shy. I needant have worried as everyone was soo welcoming. everyone there has a common goal - to loose weight.
I now look forward to going to class. First everyone gets weighed (No one can see how much you actually weigh, and no one is really interested as they are all thinking about there own weightloss and chatting) this can take a while depending how many people are at your group. then everyone sits around and our consultant goes around each person and talks to them about their loss or gain (this part used to scare me but it sounds worse than it is, its more like a group discussion sharing ideas). you are under no pressure you can say as little or as much as you like! we share alot of recipes, every month or so we will have a taster of new recipes we might have found and a little raffle. not all groups are the same but i think they do follow a similar set up!
Have you had a proper look at the diet? Extra Easy consists of super free foods (fruit and veg), free foods (carbs and protien), Heatlth A (dairy) and B (fibre), and syns for everything else. you have to use at least 5 a day and upto 15. Syns are thought as treats, alot of people use them on chocolate, crisps, eating out, or even just adding things like mayo to meals.
wow i have rambled on alot, not sure if it will make sence, please come back thought if you need further help! x
