I really seem to be struggling with Slimming World. I have been a stable 14 stones for nearly 4 years now. Went to first meeting weighed in at 14.0.1/2 stones. I try my best for a week and get on the scales. They are now 14.2.1/2 stones. The woman recording the weight starts congratulating me!!! 'Wonderful weight loss for the first week!!!' I said try reading it again! I have put on two pounds not lost two pounds! She denied this until she came to writing in the book - oh yes you have put on weight! (really felt the personal touch then!).
Then you know you just have the upcoming humiliation of having a room full of strange men and women told that I have put on two pounds! I hate being sugar coated. The leader has just been welcoming the new people 'everyone looses 3 pounds or more in their first week' she gets to me 'not to worry most people put on weight in their first week it takes their body time to get used to it!' Not both of those statements can be true!
I really am starting to dread attending slimming world. It just seems to be so very unprofessional. For example one of the other women also put on a pound so the leader starts clucking about how can we help - woman replies I am a target member! Leader starts staring at her hand held device - oh yes! Sorry could not see that on the screen -well done then!
It really went down hill for me during the first beginner introduction. When she had finished chanting about how wonderful the weight loss was and how I will loose 10 pounds in a few weeks I asked which would be the better color to follow for PCOS. She then said oh well forget what I said earlier. The weight will come off but it will take a long long time. Apparently there is another woman in the group with PCOS who is scrapping 1/2 a pound every few weeks if she is lucky but she cannot tell me who that other woman is for confidentiality reasons. It would be so very useful to speak to another woman with PCOS! She then shrugged and walked off.
I have just given myself a mid week weigh in on my scales at home. They are creeping up to 14.3 stones. I have never been above 14.1 stones!
Sorry this started out as asking for help and turned into a bit of a rant! Am I going to be one of the strange few who actually get to use the money back guarantee!
