A friend of mine said a few weeks ago that she was interested in coming to SW with me, but said there was no point joining before January, as she wanted to enjoy Christmas. I convinced her that if she joined straight away she could have a stone and a half off before Christmas, and then if she wanted to enjoy Christmas and take a bit of a gain, she would still be lighter than she had been to start off with. I'm pleased to say she took my advice, and is already a stone and a half down with another 3 weigh ins before the big day. I'm so proud of her!
Also....joining in January, alongside 500 other new members who are perhaps only doing it as a New Year's Resolution because they think they ought to, is no fun. Join pre-Christmas and get to know your group in a more intimate setting than that post-Christmas chaos!
Good luck xxx
