Down with Spanx!

[Spanx]

Hi Sian, lovely to see you! I did have a great weekend - it was my birthday - so it was lovely, apart from being a year older...! Hope all is well with you!

Well, I've taken the plunge and signed up as a SW consultant... Re-launching a group which is local to me, but which is in a bit of a sorry state. Visited last night to meet the C and check the venue out and there were only 6 paying members - and only 1 who stayed for Image Therapy... Looks like I'm going to have my work cut out for me!

Brave move - but you will turn it round.....all the luck in the world xxx so excited for you xxx

Thanks Elle! Only 4 members there last night and one of those was a visitor, so definitely lots to do... can't wait, but still got 5 weeks to do training and promotion before I take over.

3 November Belle, although I'm already going to help out every week to get some practice in and meet the members!

Well I'm off to SW HQ tomorrow for my consultant training - feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the information and stuff I need to take! I've passed my three diplomas online, so I'm officially a SW expert...

Had a good week on plan, partly due to the fact I have to take a food diary with me tomorrow!

Bit cross that SW decided to close my group down until I relaunch. I can't blame the covering consultant, as who wants to go and cover a group where only four people turn up and no one stays for Image Therapy, but it does mean that I'm pretty much launching a new group, which is not what I said I wanted.

How annoying they closed the group but i am sure the relaunch will go well babe xxx

The last month has been a complete whirlwind! Slimming World has officially taken over my life - and not always in a good way. I've relaunched my group and attended 3 days of training, plus one whole day of a district meeting, delivered 3,000 leaflets, stood outside supermarkets with free magazines, accosted people in the street etc etc. Sadly I didn't get many new members, but the ones that did come are lovely and had good losses in their first week.

Due to the stress I've comfort eaten quite a lot, but managed to stay in my target range - phew!

Ok, so I've had a bit of a weird week! I sent an editorial to my local newspaper supporting SW's ShowHeart campaign... They said they'd like to run the story, sent a photographer to take some pics and this happened:

Then they asked if they could syndicate it - and this happened!
