to be wary about an overweight WW leader?

There's a Weight Watchers meeting not for from me and at time that could suit me. The woman who leads it lives in the area and seems very nice. I know her only very loosely through various neighbourhood events.

Thing is she's quite overweight, quite significantly rather than just a few pounds. From memory, I think she's previously had a dramatic weight loss but it seems as if she's gained it back. It's none of my business and as a serial dieter myself I wouldn't ordinarily judge another woman's body shape. But it doesn't really inspire confidence that she practices what she preaches.

AIBU to think this is probably a bad idea?

I go to weightwatchers and the coach is still on her own ww journey. So far she’s lost about 50 odd lbs. She certainly practices what she preaches.

Dunno. I had a guy at WW who was overweight but he had lost about 15 stone!

That's a really good point, thanks. I hadn't considered that.

Dont go, weight watchers is supposed to be a supportive place.
