what a load of b****ks, (sorry for the little swear word;)):o, i go to weightwatchers, the newcomers have to be weighed by the group leader, so she can sort them out, after that you can get weighed on any scales you like:rolleyes:

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

depends which WW you go to;)

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

wouldnt know pipinfort, only been to the one:)

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

What difference does the scales make? Surely they'd all read the same weight? Or is there something more visual about being weighed on one set than the other?

Does everyone get to know how much you have lost/gained? Or is it private?

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(

thats what you`d think.........mmmmmmmm....:confused:

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

[quote=pipinfort;511734]So they make the newcomers feel like the weigh more than they do? Surely they would all realise that somethings wrong when they go home and their own scales read differently?

WW and SW should get those machines that you put 20p in to weigh yourself :p

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

[quote=blazey;511741]
yep the wife weighed the same on 2 other sets of scales!! but heavier o the WW ones. the 20p ones sound a good idea.

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

well iv never had any different readings, on WW or my own.

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

WW first use a scale that makes you look really heavy say add 30 pounds then slowly alter so you loose some then you gain some so you are always with them.

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

dont be daft!!, why would your own scales say the same?...they rigged them too...lol

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

The flipping cheats :cursing:
Enough to put me off ever using them

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

im with WW and im happy with it, it really does work;)

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

It worked for me too in the late 60s but there is no excuse for cheating.
Are they so short of customers that they have to decieve the ones they have to keep them:eek:

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

what do ya mean cheat?...... i think someones having you on margaret

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

wow lol ive started a major discussion lol i was a w w member up for over 2 yrs, and i was just sticking all the time and p.off with it..........
so had a break for a bit with my opperation on my mind, them joined slimming world end of oct once ide recovered, and never looked back since !! went back to night and to my surprise i have only put on 3 pound over xmas & new year which is brill for me as ive eaten and drank loads lol !! were as with w w last year had put on 8 pound !!!!
So im well proud of myself.

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

It was said that newcomers were weighed on scales that recorded their weight heavier than it really was, so that after the first week, when using the normal scale, they would be convinced that a WW diet was wonderful- that is cheating to me

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

it was said by me and was exactly that.:D

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

great...stick with it.:D:D:D:D

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

WW does work - cheating just reduces their credibility for people who don't know that

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

and who told you that:rolleyes:

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

any plan WILL WORK YOU JUST GOT TO BE MOTIVATED ENOUGH AND STICK TO IT

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

Starving, ill health and stress work too - not recommended

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

exactly howarth, its working for me, that is all that matters;)

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

I think i'd be a bit suspicious if my scales at home read 30 pounds lighter than the ones at WW.

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

also can i just say, that its best NOT to get weighed on any other scales, just use the same ones each week, cus lets face thats wot we pay our memebership fee for !!!! good luck all xx

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

What if they rig the scales you always use at the meets? How do you know which are rigged and which aren't? If you fear they might be rigged cant you just say, well actually i'd like to try those other ones to see if they read any better? And if they read different surely they'd have alot of explaining to do?

Do people speak up about these concerns or are they afraid of the people who organise these groups?

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

There are two sets of scales, you line up and choose whichever scales ya want to be weighed on, i have only ever put on half a pound since joining, people only say they are rigged when they probably have put weight on, due to probably picking and not realising you have gone over on ya points.
if you stick to your diet you WILL lose weight....simple.....its nowt to do with scales being tampered with, as i said before when i weigh myself just before a meeting, they read the same as the ones at Weightwatchers...explain that one.......no you cant:rolleyes:
and before someone says why would you weigh yourself at home and then at WW and pay....well i do it for the motivation thats what the meeting is about, and the fact that someone is keeping an eye on your weight and you would feel a right div if you did put weight on:o.

any more questions:rolleyes:

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

Do you have to be a certain weight to join? To they encourage exercise aswell or just the diet?

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

you have to at least have a stone to loose. they discuss allsorts at the meeting

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

I dont quite understand how it works. Do you stop using the point system once you have reached your target weight or do you have to stick to it to stay at the weight? Or do you just eat healthily?

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

just eat healthy, its up to you I suppose, if you go back to your old eating habits then naturally you will put on weight.
once you have reached your target weight you become a goldmember, free membership for life as long as you stay within 4lb of your target weight.

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

yeh, theres a chart of what your target should be, which depends on age and height

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

Do you have a chart yourself? or is there just the one at the meetings :p i'm curious now.

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

you get one when ya join

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

I need to go there, loose baby weight, i never lost it when i had child, i used to be very slim when i came to england, i need to lose at least stone and half so im gonna have a look at it

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

Keep an eye on the dodgy scales though!!! lol

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

Hi all, well i went back to slimming world on weds and had put 3 pound on, since xmas and new year !! ( better than the 7 pound ide put on last xmas lol ) so i thought that wasnt too bad :o

any way back on the eating plan now :)
Like ive said in my previous post whatever plan you go on, if you stick to it and do a little exercise, then you will loose weight,
and i have done weightwatchers plan for over 5yrs, and it DOES WORK, but i felt i wanted a change, so joined slimming world, which is completly differant eating plan to w w, but never the less STILL WORKS if you stick to it. and ive lost 20Ib so far since end of oct !! :)
take care all xx

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

I've lost a stone and half over the last year - dont know how ive done it either.

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

my wife as just started slimming world after getting fed up with staying the same or working realy hard on weight watchers and only loosing half pounds .if you are a big eater i think slimming world is the best diet no counting points just eat as much food on your chosen day as you want.you have a red day and a green day .one you eat as much meat as you like plus lots of other things like full english breckfast.green day eat pasta potatoes veg quorn meat.as much fruit as you like.i think it is a no excuse diet never should you be hungry on slimmers world diet.you also have a set amount of sins you use daily so you can still have a couple of drinks or a treat

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

im never hungry and im with WW, and i can eat what i want, as long as I stay within my points;)

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

Slimming World is just like WeightWatchers just a quid a week cheaper (thanks Peter Kay for that one.)
Tried going along with Mrs MTB following SW diet. The Free Veg soup was evil - had the keep the windows open permanently :eek:

On a more serious diet note; try roasted veg. Parsnips, Sweet Potato and Shallots, brushed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle on a few herbs and serve with a chop, steak or chicken breast. Keep other meals light and reasonable healthy and the pounds will fly away. Including cutting out sugar I lost 2 stones in 3 months last year. OK so I put 1 of them back on in the winter - back on the wagon now so the summer kit might fit!!!

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

well done you xx
i got weighed tonight, and lost 3 and a half pound !!!
so im hoping for more sponcers for my charties.

Re: Worried going back to slimming world......... :>(
 

And the panic was because??? :rolleyes:
