Hi everyone. I'm on day 10 of LL and, to be honest, am contemplating a switch to CD. I was looking forward to the group work as I'd heard about LL from a friend who lost 10 stone and found the counselling side invaluable.
Thing is, my experience so far hasn't been great. The meetings seem to be a bit chaotic. Just lots of chatting etc while people are being weighed (which is good in itself but goes on too long) then a DVD while the LLC fusses in and out making up foodpack orders - all the while switching off her mobile that keeps ringing. By the time we actually start the formal part of the session with her it's about 90 minutes gone - things are rushed and I feel frustrated. Also, although there are nice folk in my group, a lot of them they talk and laugh through parts of the DVD and I miss big bits of it.
Have studied Psychology, read Dr Phil's Weight Solution etc so not much of it is new to me. I thought that the difference this time might be the group dynamics, but am feeling disappointed.
Next week we don't even have a meeting - can just pop in the next day for a weigh in - and it's still costing the same £66.
Anyone made the switch to CD happily - or have any other thoughts?
