As & when you reach your stages (these are based on number of paying members) you get some leaflets for free. You can have posters...

They will ask you about your journey so far and why you love Slimming World. Few questions about what you do now for work / family life & how that will fit in with SW. It's very informal, just be yourself. Good luck xx

Absolutely love reading this thread every few days and hearing the excitment from all of you "newbies"!!! I can't believe how quickly the time has gone as it was 5 months ago I was in the same place as most of you - just looking into the possibility / attending interview etc. I've now been in...

Congrats - all sounds like it's slotting into place nicely for you :)

And so you should be!!!! Huge well done, that is fantastic xx

Advanced good luck for your interview! xxx

Good luck with your interview - do you have a date yet? xx

Good luck! Really take your time to plan it out and put as much effort into it as you can, it is worth it xx

Congratulations!! 27 new is fantastic on night one, especially when you're working & have kiddies too! :)

Really well, thank you. They are really great bunch, most of them them are very new to slimming world and are really helping each other. Numbers dropped a little bit these last 2 weeks, not sure if it's due to half term or weather or what, so just need to contact a few of them and get them back...

Congratulations! That is brilliant news, well done. Do let us know if you decide to go for it x

Days 3&4 training tomorrow & Saturday! Looking forward to meeting up with everyone again. Be nice to catch up and find out how everyone is getting on xx

Congrats to all you "newbies" getting through your interviews and looking forward to training dates - such an exciting time for you. I've taken my 2nd group this week and absolutely loving it! I am on a high from the minute I get there til well past bed time haha!! I'm thoroughly enjoying...

Training in 2 days time - eek!!!! Really looking forward to it. Leaflets have arrived and been sorted into bundles of 100. Adverts have been sorted, hoping to get my editorial into the village news - not a high profile newspaper but it's better than nothing! FB page set up ready. Have my list...

Have a great first day - can't wait to hear all about it xxx

Hi Emma, I drew up a spreadsheet with 5 boxes across, one for name and the other 4 for a tick with the date of the week completed and have one spreadsheet for each colour award xx

Lovely to see you again Carol, How lucky are you having time to read that lot??!! Mine will have to stay in the boot of the car until tomorrow evening as I help at 2 groups straight after work tonight!! xxx

Good for you, I'm pleased you've got this opportunity now. I think you will be great and by the time the group opens you will be that bit nearer to target too. I keep getting little doubts creep in, but on the whole I think it will fine! I've bought a cash box for the shop but haven't found a...

Lol!! Yes I imagine we will get through lots of these (well we hope so!) xxx

Hope your pretraining goes ahead, wretched weather!! I'm going up to Birmingham tomorrow - so hope it isn't too bad! Pretraining for me on Sunday, seems such a long time since the opps event and my interview! xxx

Hi Yvonne, yes the last bit is always the hardest isn't it! My last half a stone took months to shift!! Went just out of target range last week, been back to basics this week so hopefully will be back in it again!! xx

Well done on your 4&half stone loss xxx

Congratulations Dougal xxx

You are doing really well with this, I'm increasing my exercise at the moment - doing Davina's dvd Intense. Hope to build up to these dvd's eventually :)

Lol, me too! Making notes of things that I keep thinking 'oh I'll do that' or "I want one of those"! How long is your editiorial - I need to cut out a lot of the waffle! Think it's a bit repetitive too :(

Thank you so much for all the tips and advice, it is really appreciated. You sound like a fantastic consultant, I hope your numbers pick up soon xxx

Huge well done on the loss and getting your 3st award! That is fantastic. I'm really pleased for you that your group were happy for you - what a relief!!! xxx

Brilliant - thank you. Not great pictures, but best I can find at the mo xx

Dougal & Doelani, How do you get your before & after pictures side by side?? Many thanks

Well done you too - it's lovely getting into a smaller size isn't it?! I've always bought my work trousers from Dorothy Perkins, when I started slimming world my trousers were an 18 - I'm now in an 8. ( A 10 in Jeans - but I can live with that!!)

Blooming eck!! What a difference - wow!! You must be so pleased with yourself. What a great inspiration you will be to your members xxxx Not sure if we have a home bargains round here?? Will have to check. I've managed to get a few bits already hope to get a better idea of what I will need on...

Thank you Dougal - Hope you feel better soon xx

Hi Doelani, thank you so much - feel a bit thick sometimes when it comes to these "new fangled" things!! Feeling a lot more positive today, had a good chat with a couple of friends at group last night xxx

Hi Doelani, how are you finding the SW consultants stuff on facebook? I'm quite new to this social networking stuff! Do you just type in Slimming World Consultants into the search bar and then pick one to look at?? Thank you xxx

This will be my start date too! xx

Thanks guys, appreciate you taking the time to tell me your experiences, I need to have a good think before Sunday!!

Thank you Jaylou, I appreciate your honesty and filling in some blanks for me, I really need to hear views like yours as my TD and the other consultants I know are all very happy and haven't got a bad word to say about the role! I'm going into this with my eyes open, I will give it 100% and if...

Is anyone having second thoughts???? I really want to do this, I know I would be good and I really want to help people succeed with their weightlosses. But is there going to be too much to do?? I know there will be a lot of promotional work, delivering leaflets on sundays, putting up posters in...

Encouraging people to sign up to work towards their awards, explaining how much activity a weeks they need to do. speak to them when they bring their fit logs in, tick their names off the list when they've completed a week. issue awards and write out certificates for the consultant to hand out...

Thank you carol, will have a look x

Where are you going to get your boxes to keep certificates in from?

You look fabulous doelani, Well done xxx

Sounds like everyone is keeping busy! I'm off to wilkinsons in a bit to see if I can get a few bits from the list, s-o-w basket etc. I'll leaving the refreshment side til nearer the time and when I've sussed out what the venue has already. Must make a start on the editorial later too! I'm not...

Awaywiththefairies, thank you very much for the tips, they are really helpful hope weeks 5,6 &7 went a little bit smoother?!

thanks carol, that's a good idea. Will definitely ask my TD about doing that xx

I had my pack today too but half of it was missing! No contracts, data protection info or franchise starter pack options! have told my TD she is sorting it!

Same questions here too!!! The group I'm taking over isn't the one I normally attend so they will be strangers, not sure if that's better or not?

Wooohooo!!!!! Congratulations - about time that they let you know!!! Will you still be going for training now even though there isn't a group ready for you yet??

Have you heard yet?? xxx

Had a good day yesterday, completely on plan, was very pleased. Today hasn't been too bad so far, but then consumed 16 syns worth of my niece's discarded lunch :sign0007: No more syns today, extra exercise later on and make a plan for the weekend, weigh in Monday and I really want a loss xx

Good luck - hope it all goes well, I'm sure it will. When do we do the on line exams?? xxx

Hannah, you are a super star!!!! I can't decide which option to go for, so this will really help me to see the difference, thank you xxx

This is the same for me, my TD is temping at the group I'm going to have and she told them they were getting a new consultant before she told me I'd been accepted!! Lol

Thank goodness for that!!! Congratulations Doelani, I'm so pleased for you xxx See you at training xxx

Thank you Carol!! It's so exciting isn't it?! xx

Love your mid morning snack - might have me one of those in a bit :eat:

Thanks for that. I've been running the body magic table for a while now and I've done the shop, looking forward to learning these new bits xx

Thank you everyone, very excited but scared at the same time! I'm going to my TD's group tonight to observe and hopefully talk some things through when I'm there. Apart from visiting some other groups and then learning the till and weigh in at my normal group, I don't think there is much else...

Thank you Kim, much appreciated xxx

Set target at 9 stone, and got down to 8 13 but have since snuck back up to 9 3. Really trying hard this week, writing everything down, having a few days on each plan, so hopefully will have a loss this week as I really want to be back below target ASAP! Hope everyone has a lovely day :)

It must be sooo frustrating - arrrggghhh . You poor ladies, I've everything crossed that you hear something today Laura xxx

Thank you Dougal, It's all getting very exciting now :D How lovely to have someone ask for your advice - what a great confidence booster! I will sad to leave my group too as I've made some lovely friends there, but don't think I'll have the time to run my own group and attend another?? but could...

Fingers crossed for you hun Laura xxx

Hi Carol, I got accepted too!!!!!!!!! Can't believe it, was so convinced they would say no, lol!! Pre-training 24th and Derby training 12th&13th too xx

Bless you - definately the right decision to make. I'm glad they were nice about it xxxxx

Hi Carol, I thought my interview went well, I was so nervous going in, but once I started chatting I couldn't shut up!! They didn't really give anything away, so I'm hoping I came across in the right way. Good luck, I know that Thursday & Friday are going to go so slowly!! Laura xxx

Rosie, I am so sorry to hear you giving it up, but can totally understand your reasons why. You gave it a damn good go and thanks to your wonderful thread you have inspired a lot of us to give it a try. I wish you all the best for everything you do in the future Laura xxxx ps. love the profile...

Doelani, I do hope you hear something soon - how frustrating for you xxx

Well done and fingers crossed :fingerscrossed: you'll hear very shortly. Hope you don't have to wait too long to get a group where you want it xxxx

Thank you very much Hannah, that is brilliant, really helpful to have an idea of what we are facing!! Hopefully we'll know by the end of the week then?! How exciting! Good luck Carol!!! Are you meeting with Sandy & Michelle? That's who mine is with, so shouldn't be too scary?! Fingers crossed...

I hope you hear something soon Deolani, I would rather know either way sooner rather than later. But no news is often good news?! Fingers crossed, although I'm sure you won't need it xxx

What sort of questions? If you dont mind me asking?! Is it just things like "Why do you want to be a SW consultant?" etc Thanks Hannah xx

My interview is at 5:00pm! Can't believe how nervous I am!! I really want this, I know that I would be good at it and I'm more than willing to put in the hard work to make it happen - just hope that comes across. Good luck for your interview I'm sure you'll do great xxxx

Were we at the same meeting on Sunday?? I have my interview on Tuesday too :eek: !! Laura xx
