The leader herself was fabulous but in all honesty, I quit going to the in person meetings after about 5 weeks because there were an overwhelming number of women in the group who were eaten up with fat shame and it was so triggery that I had to stop going.
I think if you find a good group that it can work!
The triggery part itself wasnt that bad but I was super frustrated hearing things like "I need to lose 20 pounds or my husband won't have sex with me again!" or "I don't want to be one of those beached whale women in my bathing suit".
I would check a lot of the comments and try to offer up suggestions for being more positive as did one other woman in the class (who also quit going for the same reason) but it was just a hinderance to my process.
The online program is self-driven and pretty insular but I actually love that. It has helped me to learn accountability to myself.
