Advantages: A well worked out plan, good booklets and informtion, the classes are helpful and fun to attend

Disadvantages: Meetings are quite expensive

All I can really say about Weight Watchers is that I was very cynical before I went – I was also very embarrassed that I had to go to a slimming class at all – I was however happy to say I was proved wrong.

I have been attending the classes for 16 weeks now and have lost 22lbs so far and I’m still going strong. The only weeks I didn’t lose any weight or put a 1lb or 2 back on was when I knew I hadn’t stuck to the program. The program is easy to follow and the books and info that they give you is interesting without ever being patronising. I find the meetings really encouraging and everyone you meet there is very supportive. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the meeting, you just end up laughing along with everyone. I oftern can't believe it's a weight loss class I'm at from the sorts of things my group chat about.

The program is calculated so each food has a points value worked out according to how much saturated fat and calories it has in it. Depending on your starting weight you are allocated how many points you have a day and can earn a few more for treats by exercising. The only negative points I would say is that the meetings are quite expensive (£4.25 each meeting) but in a way this helps you to lose weight as you don’t want to cheat and throw your money away.

I know at least 6 other people who are or have attended the classes and have all had similar good weight loss. You get little rewards as you reach certain goals – I got a silver key ring a few weeks ago because I’d lost 10% of my body weight and you get a gold key to go on it when you reach your goal. I can’t wait to reach my goal weight and I now quite look forward to the meeting each week to see how I’ve done.
