In 2002 when I started University I was comfortably a size 12. I didn't feel self conscious really, despite having quite big legs I had a toned, flat tummy and slender arms. When I quit University a year later after partying and blowing my money I had crept up to a size 14. I was still squashing myself in to my size 12 stuff (denial phase) and in 2003 I started a job in an office where the canteen had the best fry up going - at only a £1 for the full works I was having one every couple of days. Money was tight and at home we'd just eat whatever was on offer at the Supermarket, so things like family bags of Chicken Nuggets, Oven Chips, Pasta, Sausages, etc plus anything ..  Read the complete review

I'm writing this as tonight, for the third time, I joined Weightwatchers. I first joined Weightwatchers in 2003 and lost around 1 and a half stones. Then I stopped going. I put it all back on, and then some. In summer 2007 I joined again. This time, I stuck at it for around 2 years. I lost almost 4 and a half stones, and went from a size 16-18, to size 10-12. I felt fantastic when I lost all that weight.

Have lost 6 pounds in my first week , despite loving a beer and a bacon sandwich in the morning .
My Fiancé has a lot less points to play with . I am eating alot more fruit and veg and generally appreciate my

In September 2010, I decided it was high time I lost weight!! I decided to 'go it alone' to save myself some money... In October 2010 I had put on a further 1/2 stone and decided that I really did need some help with this. Having tried Slimming World in the past (and failing) I decided to give weight watchers a chance... I googled weightwatchers and entered my post code. A list of possible meetings appeared, so I braced myself and turned up to my first meeting one Tuesday night! I was made to feel extremelly welcome when I met my Group leader, who explained the whole plan to me well. (Since joinign Weight watchers, the points system has changed, so ...  Read the complete review
