Lost way after leader quit

[cpts]

This is a bit of a AIBU...or am I just looking for excuses?

My SW leader left her role earlier in the year - since then my group has had multiple people coming in. Now we have a dedicated leader who is also some kind of area manager so we have a different person every few months still. So still trying to settle with this.

The thing I'm really struggling with is that every week a different member is doing the weigh-ins. So feel quite uncomfortable that other members know my weight and so many of them. I know I'm probably deluded thinking people don't know I weigh a gazillion stone. Maybe this is what it is like in other groups and we were spoiled before with the way the old leader did things.

Any thoughts from other SW members? Is this just the way it is and I need to accept if I want to continue?

Is there another group you could switch to? I used to go to a Saturday morning group which kept changing consultant. We would get a new enthusiastic one then after a couple of months they'd leave, we would get fill ins and then another new keen one who soon left. I changed group and find I'm much more motivated and attend regularly.

Re being weighed by lots of different people, unless it's a very small group, I would think they weigh you and forget it, on to the next one. We all attend for the same reason, it wouldn't bother me.

I would definitely switch to different group maybe try a few I think it really makes a difference with a brilliant group leader.

Thanks @Wilma55 and@Riverbananacarrot for replying. It's a bit heartbreaking as have built good bonds with members.

I know members will forget as soon as you've walked away but it just isn't comfortable and I imagine it would be the same for them.

And you will make good bonds with a different group

Ive been a member for a year now and I did the first 6 months in a mid week and the last 6 in a saturday morning one and I have to say both groups are great and even now if something comes up and I have to pop into the midweek group, Im welcomed and remembered

I always think of the consultant as the conductor, she kind of keeps the meeting to a script but its the members that really run the group so for me a different consultant doesnt phase me at all. Also who does the weigh in, doesnt matter either. My consultant will always say "suki, a target member, you faced the scales today' when Ive gained and I will imediately say yep, 2lb on or whatever it is. None of us in either group I attend are shy about what we have to loose or what we have scoffed in a weight gain week , and everyone has those. We have a giggle and make merry and loose the guilt , which is a great support, knowing you arent the only one not looked at a book for weeks or the only one that snuck in the peanut butter sandwich and not syned it :)

For me its all about the group, we have some great laughs and really support each other
