Anyone in the 9s want to be in the 8's ??

It's really rubbish, especially so close to you getting sorted as well :( so sorry, I want to say something to make you feel better but really don't know what to say (probably isn't much) we're all here for you to talk to though...

It really does make you wonder how others manage, would be very interesting to see numbers of how many consultants sign up and how many have successful groups and make some money out of it.
 
Well I worked it out. Having a 50 member group would take 250. Take away 30 for the hall hire is 220. Then slimming world take half that leaves me with say 100. 20% of that gets reinvested into slimming world on stock etc, so it leaves me with 80 pound. Then the tax man will take 22% of that. Which leaves me with very little for 10-15 hours a week plus the extra promoting and advertising. Plus the 50 pound per night to stay in derby 3 times a year for training which is unpaid as is the monthly Sunday meetings and weekly phone call meetings. I just do not get it!! Such a shame I really wanted to do it. I'm so deflated I don't even want to diet for myself anymore x

Something else to consider is how many of your group of 50 then end up being target members and obviously you want them but don't get anything for them... it does sound really crap.
I can understand why you feel so bad and don't even want to do it for yourself anymore, but I do think you should try not to go off track, or the other option is have a week or so off and get back on it when you do feel motivated to diet for yourself... I don't think anyone would blame you for that

I think that sounds like a good plan
 
Hey ladies. Soooo much to read up on so ill try and catch up!!

Debtin, jannyH takes the tea and has the same effects as me. Although mine have slowed down now. Dunno y. Maybe cause my weigh is low now.

Rosie that deffo doesn't sound worth it that a lot of money to lose :(

I feel so stupid and horrible!!!! :(
I made chicken and noddles with spring onion (tiny bit) and filled 1/3 of my plate with tinned sweet corn thinking it was superfree!!! I've just realised its only free so I've had barely any superfree on my plate :((
 
I wouldn't worry about that I just ate a tin of Chinese duck with plum sauce and half a pot of celebrations lol. But yeah peas and sweet corn and corn on the cob are all green foods x
 
I wouldn't worry about it with it being a one off Charlene, I used to have fish chips and mushy pea's as a meal sometimes and it never effected my losses (I don't anymore as I got worried about the superfree issue) but even my consultant has said once in a while a meal without superfree won't harm you. Lots of people barely eat superfree and still loose (although I wouldn't suggest that)

Just think if you weren't doing slimming world you would have considered sweetcorn as a healthy addition to a meal
 
Sorry to here all about your news Rosie. It all sounds a bit dodgy to me to be honest. Basically SW are getting the Consultants time, money & effort for doing nada & the C's doing all the work...its not even the minimum wage! I think if people do that job its for the love & don't need the money! How come all the managers get such a hefty wage then?

Oh I feel its tad short for me and kinda pushes my boobs in. I have nearly ten years on you tho so am sure you will look great. Not sure it would be worth the return...shame as I was going to wear on Xmas day :( maybe try it tom with black tights..thick one x
 
Oh no :( sorry Deb, hope mine's okay... should probably try it on but I always forget until times like now where I'm too comfy to mess about getting changed.
Hopefully you'll feel better in thick tights in it... although don't know what you could do about the boob situation (I don't really have any anymore :() would it look okay with leggins if you don't like it with tights?
 
Yet again charlene I feel bloated with the tea. Quite like the taste now. Maybe it doesn't have same effect on everyone...will probably continue til box is done. Hopefully it does speed up metabolism.

Now I know am not best person to offer sw tips etc but I never add superfree "just for"..its got to be part of my meal. Maybe that's where Iam going wrong but if I make a chicken breast and rice I will eat what's on my plate regardless of how much superfsee I have eaten. It won't encourage me to eat less of the free food if that makes sense. It would however fill me up for longer so that's where I am going wrong. I would never eat fruit after a meal just to have super free either...only if I was still hungry.
Don't worry, you have had fab losses...don't go by my method, just explaining what I do x
 
I would have just done it for the love of slimming world not even for the money. But seeing as I need to pay money up front I don't want to lose money as their is no gaurentee u will be a success x

Am not sure...feel as tho round the belt area it sticks out a little makin me feel bigger than I am if that makes sense? Will try again tom but it would prob do for holiday but not sure. Good value tho. I should have bought medium to large. X
 
That's a shame Deb, would it look better with a bigger belt on (to cover the bit that comes out)


I can't stop eating today, think its this cold, yesterday I struggled to eat and now I can't stop. So far sticking to plan but do worry I might struggle to loose as I've eaten a stupid amount of free food today
