I personally don't like sw classes. I love ww classes, I find them much more fun, friendly and informative. But thats just my own personal experiences of course. I had an awful experience of sw. I joined first a couple of years ago and stopped going because I was pregnant and because you never really got to speak to the leader, she kept forgetting I was preg and when I gained she called it out and each time asked me 'what went wrong'. Obviously for the first bit I was keeping the preg to myself (tho I HAD told her) so I couldn't answer in front of the whole class, which really annoyed me. Then a couple of months ago I decided to rejoin (a different class) as I have dabbled a bit with sw off on on to maintain my weightloss. However I was the only new member that week, and during the class a few members went into a pretty major rant about the leader sitting talking to me whilst they waited on class starting. They said they wouldn't be able to stay to the end because she did that, and they felt that she should have made me wait til after class and then talk to me then, especially since I was the only newbie. To be honest I was so embarrassed, and it made me feel so unwelcome, I never went back.
