Hi Jodi
My experience with ww classes was I joined last year and just couldnt get on with it - didnt take to the leader and the meeting just felt strange after sw so I packed it in and tried to go it alone. After some personal difficulties and lots of binging not to mention a hugh weight gain I rejoined sw.
Only managed to go for 3 weeks before the class clapping got me down, then left and again tried to go it alone. To get to the end before you drop off - I rejoined ww again last night and came home feeling really positive. Same class as before and same leader as before but what a difference. I am not sure if it is because my attitude is more positive or what but I really enjoyed the class. I dont seem to be able to do it alone and need the class support even if it is just for now.
Maybe give the class another try it could have been an off week we all get them.
Good luck anyway with whatever you choose to do.

I have been going to meeting but only staying to get weighed since beginning of jan. I have monthly pass so all the stuff that gets spoken about in meetings gets emailed to you anyway. At meeting i get the "your week" mag, get weighed, buy my sweeties and toddle off home. I just think it helps getting weighed by the leader, getting your silver 7 stickers, your ten percent keyring etc. But I cant bear the thought of staying for the actual meeting part!! Plus I go straight from working all day so just wanna get home and cook tea! But I do find the expectation of being weighed keeps me on the straight and narrow, lost 2 stone in 10 weeks so it does work!xx
Hi Ive spent many years going to meetings,sadly the 2 local ones arent great(ww) so I go it alone......I had in my ww metting last year the leader praising the lady who kept losng 3-4 lbs a week but did no exercise she just lost quick,I was sticking to plan going to the gym 3 times a week aqua fit twice a week and losing 1-2 lbs a week,the thing was the leader kept saying to us '' if you all worked as hard as ::::::: you would lose as much???? Im sorry thats what put me off and as they say a healthy loss is 1-2 lbs a week?
I lost my ww stuff and got mine from ebay and do it alone,its great here and someone lways comes along to help
Only you can know what will suit you but if you saved your £5.50 a week by target yo'd have funds to buy all those lovely new clothes???xx

I did a test today, I weighed on hard floor then carpet,there was a 3st difference!
Reliable scales are a must. When I decided to do SW on my own I invested in a set of scales that cost £30. Seemed like a lot at the time but it's 6 weeks worth of meetings that you won't be attending . They're flippin brill scales, my Dad says that that particular brand make the scales that butchers use to weight their meat so they should be accurate with a great lump like me! Cheeky sod!

Interested in this cos at the meeting Monday my class leader said that ww are now checking up on people who lose weight quickly - more than 2lbs a week after the first 3 weeks. Anyone who does has to get a letter from their doctor that they are fit to carry on with the plan. Interesting cos the slimmer of the week at sw used to put me off for the way it encouraged big weight losses.

My scales were £30 too, it just shows that you need to be consistent with where you weigh! Mine weigh 1lb heavier than the SW one so I no they are good enough!

Unforunately some group leaders, SW and WW ones do have their favourites.
