Hi everyone. I have been going to SW for 5 weeks now and I must say I am very disappointed with the actual meetings. I wondered whether all SW meetings have a similar format?
We have a rather large group at the moment (around 36 members I thought when I did a quick head count) and after we have all been weighed the consultant goes through her PDA, calls out individual names and says their weight loss/gain. We clap and she has a quick chat with them.
It takes around 45 mins to get through everyone and, to be honest, I find this really boring! In addition I am quite a shy person and I REALLY hate having to speak in front of the group. I spend the whole time wondering if it is me next and getting all worked up about it, so it doesn't inspire me or make me feel integrated into the group.
At other groups (not SW) I have been to in the past the consultant has just given out awards, not talked individually and publically to everyone, and has then spent 20 mins or so presenting a good recipe or giving some tips or something useful. If I don't stay it seems so pointless to pay someone almost £5 just to weigh me every week.
Is this what happens everywhere? Or am I just unlucky?
