    Really? I don't know any consultants pushing people to do SP, especially newbies! And I know a lot of consultants, having been one! Consultants are pushing EE, and being told to do so, EE is in its 6th year now, so it's all the majority of members know.

    but potatoes, for example, don't have a syn value as they are free. You can have then as an optional free food, but this defeats the object of SP. I honestly think if you want carbs, then don't do SP, just stick to EE.

    You are allowed syns, yes, but I'm not sure where synned yoghurt/sausages/other foods would fit in. A day free natural yoghurt is not an S or P so eorkd to be allowed. A half syn yoghurt has a large element of free food in it, hence the low syn. I guess it's allowed but I'm not doing it that...

    weight loss has slowed right down a stone from target :(

    Syns are as much a part of the plan as free, super free and healthy extras and there is no need to cut them out, nor should you have to reduce your portion size. All of this is overthinking the plans. Go right back to basics, are you weighing and measuring healthy extras, do you check all syns...

    I went for the big one. You get all the books to sell in the shop which you would have to pay up front for, Money back for adverts, all the visuals - although if a consultant is leaving you can often buy these from them. I have no regrets. If you can afford it then go for it.

    Spending £4.95 to get weighed is personal choice. Get your money's worth, stay to group, ask questions, share recipes - that is what image therapy is for, there is not, or shouldn't be, another format. Give yourself that hour a week, your weight loss will benefit :-)

    Portion Control Plates

    Because its not a rule and its not exact. It would cause obsession. Third super free can be recipe ingredients not just on the side and you don't have to have it, but its a recommendation and the more you have the more you will lose. Lines on plates dictate portion sizes and we don't :-)
  173. jaylou

    Portion Control Plates

    Don't get these plates. SW don't like them and certainly don't advocate using them. Don't worry about your portion size, eat to satisfy your appetite and try to eat a third super free with each meal.

    The system logs you as missed on your consultants group but once you attend another, and that consultant does the computer stuff, it will show as you've attended another group. i do ask my members to let me know if they plan to attend another group, only so I don't chase them as missing!

    Men and syns

    the extra syns aren't broadcast. Confidentiality. Imagine if you were over 16 or 20 stone and the consultant announced you could have extra syns, you'd be pretty cross. I tell my members at the scales, or by text later on.

    Group certificates?

    It's not the cost which is the issue I don't think. They don't cost much but some groups are struggling and every bit counts. The lower losses are in packs of 10, the rest are mixed.

    No you can't buy them. Why don't you have a word with your consultant. There may be a good reason why she doesn't give them out. Dont focus on the certificate to motivate you, focus on the awards on your book :-)
  203. jaylou

    DELETE PLEASE

    Its a bit more than this. It's about the misconceptions creeping in, things like "I've been to the gym ten times and only lost a pound"or "I didn't go to the gym and that's why I haven't lost weight" the message is true and clear - foid optimising will get the weight off, body magic is good...

    You get the Derbyshire for £52 through SW and breakfast is included. Personal choice but I always stay at the Derbyshire.

    Last weigh in at group tomorrow

    There are very good reasons why we weigh in at strict times. Believe it or not, the queue isn't a problem. The queue creates atmosphere, chat, the buzz a good group wants. Weighing in early so people can go home goes against what SW want. We can't run a group without people staying, we want...

    It's the frustration for me....you support and support and support more, people don't come to group, don't respond to texts etc, its quite sad but it's also human nature. I have about 70 members but rarely get 50 through due to holidays, sickness, work, non attendance.....then you need to...

    1. if you don't get 25 on night 1, SW will say you haven't done enough. Simple. That's their answer. If you don't get enough you don't get support, you get pushed to do even more. 2. Depends where you live I guess 3. Even on day 1 or 2 of training you can leave and get your money back. 4...

    I don't like the underhanded tactics either but it's business and I guess that's the way of the world. We all want to make money. Who is your C Hun?

    A diary of a slimming world consultant

    They want a group for every 4000 pop, not on every street. However, the village for my group has only 1700 houses so I have to do the outlying village, but then they overlap with other areas! They put you where they want but due to the turnover of consultants you are very likely to get an...

    A diary of a slimming world consultant

    I made mine back within a couple of months. One of my groups is okay but still not as good as they would like. I doubt anyone would tell the real truth. Consultants get a cash bonus for recruiting a new consultant!!! This is the most honest info around. When I was thinking about it I could...

    They are harsh. It's push push push. I love it but won't do this forever!! Unless you don't work I don't think you can make a living at this, there's not though time to fully promote or support.

    Absolutely. They aim to have a group per 4000 pop! Groups pop up everywhere.

    A diary of a slimming world consultant

    I absolutely agree with this. We buy a business, I'm not in it to make a fortune, but 12 hours a week to make a loss or a tenner just isn't what I set out to do. Those who do it purely to help are amazing and get a lot of admiration from me, but this is a business at the end of the day and if...

    Last weigh in at group tomorrow

    Okay, groups have a set start time which must be adhered to, 30 mins for weigh in and up to an hour for image therapy, depending on group size. Each to their own but I love group, I love the sharing of ideas and the support and inspiration you get from the group. Good luck on your own. I am...

    If I were you I would wait. I really think its a little early in your weight loss journey. Protect your own weight loss and get as close to target as you can. Being a consultant can be quite detrimental to your weight loss. There are male consultants and they do inspire men to join too, which...

    Raffle prizes!

    we were told raffle prizes had to be food optimising or body magic related so there shouldn't be any beauty products in a raffle prize. Not sure the fellas would appreciate them! The raffle should/could be used for food talk. I change the raffle every week and its either a recipe ingredients...

    Caravans - Static & Touring

    We have a folding camper. It has a cooker, hot and cold running water, fridge and best of all, a loo :-) from parking up we can be set up in 30 mins. I wouldn't have a caravan or a tent. I love being able to hitch up and go somewhere, although the best campsites book up quick for school hols!!

    Exactly!!! I don't know why this has always, and continues, to be over complicated!!!

    Am I allowed to...

    Right, here's the deal...... No where in the book does it say the words must, rule, will or have to have a third super free!!! You do not have to have salad or fruit before or after a meal if you don't have super free. You do not have to reduce the amount of food to make way for the super...

    I'm doing okay, some weeks are great, some weeks it's an uphill struggle. New members are coming in but keeping members is hard - why don't people respond??? Common courtesy!!!! It's a tough decision to become a consultant, but a tougher one to leave. X

    A diary of a slimming world consultant

    Oh bless you Hun, you started not long before me. I won't give up, not yet, but I can see now why there is such a high turnover of consultants. I often think a hundred quid is great for a couple of hours work, but its not a couple of hours!!! Oh and I rarely earned that, I've had a good few...
