We have arrived in Texas
Well yesterday we arrived in Texas and at last I am allowed to tell eveyone why my colleague & I are here.
Its such a relief to be able to say we have brought SLIMMING WORLD to the USA....(have had to keep low profile during visa application cause of the competition).
I am based slightly N West of Dallas/Ft Worth airport and my collegue is East about 20 miles away. We have been over several times and have our venues secured for a late August start.
We are on L1 visas.
Have rented a house and got a school appointment for 17yr old (who missed 1 year since leaving Florida) for next Wednesday.
Off we go again....

I don't know, but there's been a whole stack of ladies specific and gym/fitness places closing down in my area...partly because people don't care and now they just don't have the spare cash to splash out on the indulgence.

Re: We have arrived in Texas
Hi, the UK is in recession but Slimming World are 17% up on last year. A group opened last week (after the kids broke up for school hols) asnd had 61 new members on the 1st night. In Southern Ireland in the week after Easter a new group was opened with 174 new members. People want a sensible eating plan that the whole family can follow. It is more about changing eating habits not restricting foods or depriving yourself. We are the U|K's leading weight loss organisation ( yes number 1) Weight watchers is number 2 in the UK. I believe we will be very successful as it is not a gimmick and people can shop in their regular stores not having to buy dehydrated meals or shakes or tiny frozen portions. have a look at the website....
