Hey all.
At work, i have gotten very close to a mummy who does WW, we weigh on the same day and she is lovley, we always text and let each other know how we get on..
However, a few weeks ago she told me about a system they have in her class.. which has made her feel so uncomfortable, she skips class when she fears a gain, and will no longer stay to the class, she just weighs and goes.
When you weigh in, there is a jar.. and in this jar goes some stones, Everyone who has lost weight, gets a certain amount of stones in accordance to how many lbs they'v lost.. at the scales they are awarded these stones and pop them in a jar. Which im sure is fab if you have lost weight.. having everyone else know you'v done well, without having to say anything. However, those who havnt lost.. get nothing.. and so just as obvious for those who have lost weight, its also very obvious about those who havn't.
This concerns me slightly.. In a positive way, i could see it being very encorouging.. if everyone lost weight every single week.. but my friend has expressed that a few members feel its just so much added extra pressure, and they hate the rest of the group watching as they drop these stones in or not..
i was just wandering, why do you think they do this? and does anyone have anything else simalar in thier group??
