Slimming World

I put yes because I believe that this is the best and kindest way to loose weight. If it wasn’t for the consultant I would still be going. I reached my target and was given the badge etc, the next week I was told that I had to pay as I needed to loose another four pounds. Being the coward that I am I didn’t query this so went along with it. Some other members told me that I should stand up to her and ask her why. I then found out by another member that my bmi comes up when I get weighed. I text my consultant who sent a very nasty text back saying she didn’t say anything about my bmi I didn’t take this further as I didn’t want my friend to get into trouble. I had to go to the doctors for a check up and the nurse who is a member of slimming world was very cross on my behalf and said I was to take it further and it wasn’t up to this consultant to change my target. After a couple of other instances I decided to leave. I didn’t want to take this further as it would evolve dragging some friends into it.

I have been with SW for about 7 months being successful by following the science plan.

More recently I developed a medical condition so asked my group leader about foods to support it- I was met with a turse any foods without the F symbol might be ok! really! well hey I did my science and no not all without the F symbol are ok at all.... I then asked about the weeks I have in credit ( as I couldn't go to group as too unwell.....x2 messages later still no response

Is it all about the money and bums on seats ???? caring isn't there for sure

I joined some weeks back and had to miss a week because if sickness when i went the following week they asked for 2 weeks money, not wishing to cause a scene i paid but on checking the terms and conditions i was unable to find this in there.

i have asked SW for clarification but as yet i have not had a reply.

the following week i asked about this and was told that i am allowed 6 weeks holiday a year and that i have to inform them of these, i think not i am not telling a stranger when my house is empty, might as well put a sign on the door telling all and sundry.

needless to say i have not been back paying £4.65 to get weighed is too expensive.

be careful with your online subscription mine ran out i did NOT renew my subscription as i can manage my diet by myself but slimming world have taken no stolen money out of my account without my permission disgusting

My husband and I were morbidly obese and after trying every fad diet you could think of, we went to ask our GP for help. She steered us to Slimming World and we have had excellent results. I have lost 3 stones in 5 months and my hubby 5. We get weighed discretely every week, no one ever knows your weight. If we lose we get a big clap from everyone and if we gain, tremendous support. The body imaging talk is our favourite. Lots of tips, lots of laughs, lots of encouragement.

I feel that each group is as good as its leader. So if you have a bad one, don't give up, look for a better group. Heck! Where else would you learn to make syn free chips(fries)

On two separate occasions I joined Slimming World both of them ended in failure. The first time I joined I had a leader that was very rude to me by saying that members complained about my two children being noisy and untidy albeit they were babies at the time, I walked out in disgust vowing never to return. Second occasion I tried a different meting but found that hard to get to but the leader I had was very nice, I went to a different SW meeting one in my area, and one of the weighers took great pleasure in humiliating me in front of everybody in a quite a rude way by saying I had put on a lot of weight, walked out in disgust vowing never to return to SW again after that nasty experience.

Totally unethical company to work for, I'd joined the company some 6 months prior to my heart attack.

The day I came out of my angiogram surgery, my line manager called me to say 'we accept your verbal resignation' which is a lie, as I'd not resigned.

Having been with them less than 2 years my rights were reduced to a point I had no choice but to accept it.

I urge you all to avoid this companies products and services as a stand against their unethical behaviours.

When I asked for new food diaries after two weeks I was amazed at how hard it was to obtain one, they go on about how important it is to keep a dairy but when you need one they just don't want to give you one. I thought our weekly payments were towards these, but it appears not.

It's basically a nutritional plan commercially marketed trying to lock you in. I was disappointed, took me courage to go along to the group in the first place , friendly enough leader but explanation of how it all worked in terms of membership was non existent. Lovely group ... but weekly talks were patronising and sometimes infantile and a thinly veiled telling off when people had got terms etc. wrong. I have not got a lot of weight to loose so there was a bit of the why are you here vibe and no guidance as to what my target should be. When I asked for explanation as to why you shouldn't weigh yourself between session or one week I had put on a pound (despite working out hard and probably amassing muscle weight) answers given were unscientific and not credible I.e are you eating grapes? Benefits were I did loose weight and ditched my stress eating habit but I have lost more weight since bailing out of slimming world. I also detest referring to any food as sins despite the spelling variation. Loving my fitness pal app as it looks at your overall nutrition and exercise as an individual and doesn't make you do quizzes where you get extra points for mentioning you would take cutlery to a picnic!
