Weight Watchers Weigh-in

[Hollie-x]

I have everything I need to be able to do WeightWatchers as a family friend used to do it before they moved to CA. But I was thinking of actually going to the meetings with my Mum, she doesn't need to but for moral support I guess, but I was just wondering (if any of you guys know) whether they weigh you infront of everyone? I mean, I'm not morbidly obese or w.e they call it now or anything but I'm so body concious. I know they have to weigh you to keep track of weight loss but do they tell the others how much you weigh or anything?

Sorry if i've rambled!

When my mum went to slimming world yonks ago they weighed everybody at the start of the meeting. Everybody sat down and talked for a bit whilst others were getting weighed. The weighing bit was all confidential so nobody knew their weight unless somebody hit a target and got a sticker or certificate.

Remember, you're all there to achieve the same goal. I'm sure there will be people that are bigger than you attending.

I went once with my mum to a WW weigh in and I was shocked by the woman.. she weighed all of 8 stone (skinny little thing) and gave out to my mother like a teacher would a child cause she put on 1lb... I thought you were suppose to be encouraged not yelled at.
My mum switched WW and she found one she like where she is encouraged and not yelled at.

Thanks

I'm not too worried about my weight, I think (going off some charts) I'm about right for my height - i'm slightly tall at 5ft8"! - but I still wanna lose some.

That's awful!
That's one of the reasons that people end up with eating disorders, people like her telling you off for something like that!

i go to sw and the group is so friendly and if you don't do so well the group and class lady are so nice

At the weight watchers I went to... you went in queued up and was weighed... only you, the person weighing and the person holding the meetings will know your weight... no-one else will know.

Slimming World is the same ... Imo I prefer Slimming World... it's more lenient (sp?) on the foods you can eat and how much

[sindydoll]

how many points are you allowed at weight watchers per day?

[Hollie-x]

Thanks for that Kirsty ; ]

It depends on your weight ;]
