I also prefer leaders that aren't extremists. I like a leader that screws up and admits it. I like someone that still drinks occasionally, still indulges in decadent food sometimes, and doesn't work out 24/7. I want someone realistic that still succeeded and gets that weight loss isn't so cut and dry.
I do like the leaders that focus on what worked for people and encourages dialogue. I enjoy recipes, too.
I don't care for the group activities.
Congrats, btw!!

Could not resist the "bravo", as WW is big on handing out the bravo stickers.
Anyway, due to leader leaving, got fast tracked for training! What a whirlwind.
Things are working themselves out. I now have 2 meetings under my belt, with a mentor on hand to help me out. Plus, my group has been super supportive.
The first meeting, I was so nervous.
Tonight went better.
I can do this!
I would like to thank all of you for your comments, and I will keep them in mind as I go forward.
When I joined back in 2006, if anyone would have said, "You will one day, be the leader", I would have told them they were, certifiably "nuttier, than a tree full of squirrels."
For whatever reason, for me it's working. Tonight, I did forget a point, when I remembered it, I admitted, my oops, we covered it and moved on.
So far, this has been an incredible learning experience! From member to leader, in some ways, has been a tough transition, in others, easy.
The easy, is I believe in WW, the hard, being the leader, not the member.
Two totally different concepts.
Moving forward, I will keep an open mind, and remind myself, "I am a member "first", a leader, "second."
Thank you for all of your input, and listening.
