Can some of you who have used Weight Watchers in the past let me know what it's like and is it worth it Also, can you give me some good alternative places to go in the UK? Thanks very much Jane

I did Weight Watchers and lost 54 pounds. We had a contest at work and I actually came in second...the girl ahead of me lost 55. Weight Watchers uses a daily point allowance to help improve your eating habits. For example, depending on your weight you will get a set amount of points. Healthier foods are usually less points so it helps drive you to eat healthier so you can eat a decent amount of food. However, if you are really craving a hamburger one day you can simply adjust your eating habits for the rest of the day to allow for it. It is a very flexible system and if you follow it then most see great results. In general when dieting you should follow these rules: -Drink 8 (8 ounce) glasses of water a day. (If you are not a water fan you can always add the Crystal Light on the go packets to a bottle of water) -Take a multivitamin -Eat multiple meals a day such as 3 meals and 2 snacks. This helps your body realize it is not starving and makes it burn fat instead of storing it. Remember diets that starve you will only cause you to store fat once you eat. -Do some light to moderate exercise. Remember that exercise can be anything. Vacuum the house for 20 minutes. Take the dog for a walk. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Little things add up. Regardless of what option you choose congratulations on making the decision to make a positive change for your health. Good Luck!!!

I have used it in the past and it was worth it - lost 30 lbs for my wedding and looked fantastic. The down side is just like any diet you have to stick to it - they teach you how to eat for life. If you don't do that you'll be like me and gain back 15 lbs just on the honeymoon! Afraid I don't know about alternatives in the UK but you can join Weight Watchers online anywhere.

My field is in fashion, as a result many people ask me how they can slim down. My answer is always the same: good diet and exercise. But I found this great product which I think helps a lot in the process. I recommend you check this website http://www.greatiguide.info , they have a free trial and you only pay 6.95$ shipping and handling. Good luck!
