I remember my first week - was hell on earth. I wasnt using the app correctly so thought I was over syns by lunchtime and really limiting what I was eating ( my friend killed himself at the same time of my first meeting so I forgot what was explained and was all over the show ) . Got myself to another meeting mid week , explained what was happening, and the consultant sat down with me, went through everything again, and made sure I understood how to use the app
Never been hungry since :)
This is why, even. though I had never had a good word for SW previously , Im adamant it works - because of the support
The support is fantastic , get the right consultant who runs a good group , you are elected.
We have two in my area, I use both but the one I call home is just great. We have such a laugh, we have a lot of socials, both on and off plan - weekly walks, bi monthly meals , drinks etc. We invite group members if we are having big birthdays , we have a private FB group, we become friends
As a target member of nearly 2 years, I still go near on every week , for the support and to support others starting out.
When they see the photos of me the day I walked in the door, hear how I struggled with losing just small amounts each week, and still got and maintain target , they know they too can do it
