Great chat Claire. As a SW member for many years, and at target now, I have been to several different groups and I agree that some are so much better than others. We treat our weekly group as our “me" time both socially and as therapy! It’s also fun. Our consultant is a man who has lost 11 stone. He is 100% focused and supportive. Plus really funny. We all love him to bits.
I think it’s great when consultants have had a great weightloss journey too always good to be inspired 🙌🏼 A good group is so important if you don’t get the help and support you need what’s the point
Although I’m not on SW at the minute I enjoy watching these and all your different video’s Claire. At 63, 5’8 and just under 13 stone,I’ve decided to just eat what I want but in moderation and make healthier choices without losing the odd treat. My motivation are videos like yours. I’m part retired but still enjoy all the things I did years ago, food clothes makeup but the menopause middle weight gain is a challenge so not being restricted but not overeating and walking, stretching and moving more are my goals.I’m not on instagram but assuming they are,it was nice to see a glimpse of your sisters💕
You've hit the nail on the head about finding the right group, Claire. Just like you, I adore my group; my consultant is incredible, she makes our meetings so enjoyable, and everyone is incredibly supportive and friendly. I love all your videos too! xx
Great video xx Completely understand about group and must admit that's why I've not gone back. I watch your vids and at the moment I do calorie counting and watching insp on insta is great for keeping motivation xx
Love you’re open honest content, I feel I can really relate. Ive just gone back after being away, for a few weeks, also I love your hoodie. Where is it from? 😘
Love your vlogs Claire, so interesting and inspiring. I help out at our group by doing the weigh ins and love seeing same faces every week and new members too. Can't wait for soup vlog! Xx
Brilliant chat video. I've had the same journey. Loved first group lost 6 stone. Then it finished tried lots of others and not been the same. It's sat am and just sat watching this, I'm 4 stone back on 😢 just goggled found another group and going at 8 this morning. Love your SW videos and you have just motivated me to try again xxx thank you ❤
Such a great vlog, Claire... you would make a great consultant! 😄 I'm paying for SW online (and avoiding opening it up 😩). I'm 5'10, and now almost 17 stone!!! 12 stone was always my happy place. Just listening to your vlog, encouraged me to open the app... I've even tracked breakfast 😃 Have a lovely weekend, from Sarah in Lowestoft 🌊
Thank you so much 😊 I was so happy to hit 4k not gonna lie we were constantly checking 😂 I think the difference is actually when I film on my camera instead of my phone , but I have been using Tropix skin care for a few weeks now and loving that 🙌🏼
Ive joined several groups and always found them a bit overwhelming. There is always one or two people that take over the group or talk over the consultant or in some cases take over the whole group session . It's a shame because I do like the diet .
I love crab sticks too. At group they mentioned a pate recipe where you add 10 crab sticks, tinned mackeral in tomato sauce, a tablespoon of yoghurt and a tablespoon of sweet chilli sauce. Xx
Great chat Claire as usual good tips yes you are right about some groups are very very clicky ive been to a few thats been like that and some consultants have been very rude i do love your LP skirt it looks lovely on you well ill stop waffling Claire hope to catch you soon take care love xxxxx
Hi Clare , it’s so true about finding the best group my group is amazing I’ve lost 6 1/2 stone so far , like you I’ve been to so many that I have left after a few weeks , keep up the videos they are fab🥰🌸🌸👍🏻
Love your content. I just hate when they ask how much are you going to go for next week. (1bs off) Too much pressure. Been on sw 2 weeks. Not lost an ounce. Upped my steps 12-13,000 a day. Made no difference 😢 As an aside, what is that red nail gel polish you have on. Gorgeous ❤
Thanks so much x that’s a lot of steps x have you tried upping the amount of speed food replacing some of your free foods with speed foods can help with weight loss x I’d also maybe hand a food diary for your consultant they can sometimes give you some pointers from that x my nails are gel the brand is Lecente and colour is Carnaby it’s my favourite red ♥️
You look ❤absolutely lovely hun. I have a lot to lose but I’m not stressing as much. I have a plan to lose some weight for my end of October holiday. I think what it is I used to be 9 stone in my 20s at 5.10 and the weights crept up and I’m over 17 stone. I’m ashamed. 😢 I don’t want to be 9 stone, I’ll be happy at 12 stone. Xx
Thank you Claire x don’t be ashamed 😕 there are much more important things then weight but if losing weight makes you more comfortable and happy in yourself then that’s reason to do it 🙌🏼 you are tall like me , 9 stone would make you teeny tiny I think around 12 is a comfortable maintainable weight for 5”10. I can sit at 12 comfortably getting under 12 is where I struggle to lose more. Holidays getting close that’s exciting 😜🛫🏝️
Ok well I’d rather have your beaches and food , seen a lot of Malta on my insta this year it looks lovely and seems to be getting a very popular holiday destination x
Ah best of luck yes motivation is a hard one I’m lacking it right now 🤦🏻♀️ I’m either bang on it or not so great 😬 I don’t really have a middle ground

No that was last day of the month for last entries so Monday . I’m planning on doing a live draw I’ll let you know exactly when this evening x
Ive joined several groups and always found them a bit overwhelming. There is always one or two people that take over the group or talk over the consultant or in some cases take over the whole group session . It's a shame because I do like the diet .
Yes it is a shame when that happens 😕 always worth trying another maybe x
Great vlog, thank you.😊
