A moan about tasters!

Getting back to Target
Think I've been to about half a dozen tasters, and in that time I've only not cooked for one - well, I did, got up early, made a beef casserole in the slow cooker, came home from work to package it, and it wasn't cooked enough - no way to take it in, and had 20mins to get to class (15min drive ) so couldn't prepare anything else
We get a good turnout, it's quite a large class, but yes, there are some that never participate
As for SOTW again, there are some that never bother, even though our C reminds us every other week

Numbers are dwindling in my class i've noticed the last 2 weeks - c always reads our weight losses as a group compared to her other group held on a wed morning. Losses are normally in the 100's per week, the last 2 weeks have been 60's and 50's. I've not even noticed more being weighed and just not staying to class. I wonder what's going on

Cold weather and dark nights at a guess. People don't want to be out. Half term this week tends to make numbers drop too

I used to always take food along to taster nights but don't want to sound horrible but I never really liked to try some of the foods because some of the members were just abit gross lol!!
i can't say it politely even though I tried but that's just how I felt lol xx

I find it's the same for the Slimmer of the Week basket.
I take something everyweek and always try to make sure it is free or low syns (not just something left in the cupboard) yet quite a lot of my group don't bring anything at all but are still happy to take it all if they get SOTW.

I always find in the SOTW bag that all the fruit is rank and needs to be thrown away haha. Although when i won last week there was some decent stuff in.
I always take a sachet of porridge for SOTW.
My sister won SOTW in her class last week and there was a bar of chocolate in there that was a year out of date haha. I do think its wrong that there was a bar of chocolate in there in the first place though lol.

We've got taster at our group tonight. I can't stay for the whole thing as I'm off to the football, but I love contributing and spent a few hours last night making a few different things. I've made coleslaw, roasted red pepper hummus, garlic "mayo", chunky salsa, mini bite-size burgers and vegetable crudites - all of which are Syn free! Hope my group enjoy them

The numbers have drastically reduced at our group actually in the last 4 weeks, no idea what’s going on – people losing 4lb are leaving straight away too :/
Admittedly I get my bloke to meet me after weight in, he always did but now as it’s dark when I leave I prefer not to be walking 15mins in the dark alone – I wouldn’t have thought it would bother the drivers so much tho!

Ours always has fruit in, i dont have much fresh looking fruit left, does it just have to be SS/SF?
I need to buy bits for the taster anyway, ill chuck in a few peppers or something!

I think the problem when its cold and dark isn't only the walking or driving home on your own thing, its also when its cold and dark people just want to be at home locked up and warm. Also maybe some of the drivers aren't that confident driving in the dark, I know I wouldn't be if I hadn't forced myself to do it for my running club.
