WeightWatchers

You'll have heard of weightwatchers. They have clubs all over the country. I've never done the weighwatchers diet so I'd love to hear from people about how easy it is to stick to and how effective it is at losing weight.

Get Your Free Personal Assessment and lose weight the healthy way with Weight Watchers®

On their site you can search for your nearest weightwatchers meeting - you put in your postcode and it shows you the nearest clubs to your address on a map. This is a great feature if you'd like to go to weekly meetings.

If you don't fancy regular meetings - or if you work shifts as this makes it difficult to attend every week as shift rotas change then you can slim with Weightwatchers online. Its called Switch and they have some great interactive weight-loss tools and resources.

Switch from Weight watchers - this gives you 24 hour access to their site. It has two approaches and there are hundreds of recipes available so you won't get bored becase there will always be new recipes to try.
They have food, cooking and healthy living guides as well as a regular newsletter to keep your motivational levels up.
Full choice version of Switch - you eat the foods you like sticking to your Points allowance.
On the No Count version you eat as much as you can comfortably eat from a list of foods and have a small number of points to use as treats.

You can check points values of over 30,000 foods online.
They have recipes and ideas for breakfast, lunch and dinner and advice on eating out.

You can also join a local weightwatchers group - these are held all over the country so there's bound to be one near you.

However they only hold meetings once a week, so unlike the online service which is available for support and information 24 hours a day the real life meetings are only available once a week.

Finding your nearest Weight Watchers meeting place is easy simply click on the link

And the Find a meeting link will take you to an option where you can either put in your postcode or town name and it'll show you a small map showing your local groups as well as a list of where they are - so you can either look at the list or map in more detail.

You might be surprised how close the nearest one is - lots of places hold the meetings - village halls, british legion halls, church hallspolitical party halls, basically anywhere where there is a meeting space.
My local place actually has two meetings a week and there are five places within a short walk or drive!

What happens at weightwatchers meetings?

At the first meeting you go to you discuss with the group leader your weight loss goals and find out about the Switch programme.
All the groups are fun and friendly - you'll find everyone there will be really supportive and share lots of common goals.Because the meetings are local you're likely to discover people you know at the meeting - which is always nice and encourages you.

Each week at the weightwatchers meeting you'll get weighed. This is done confidentially so no one need know how much you weigh unless you tell them. You'll track your progress over the weeks which along with the support, help and information each week will help you rech your goals.

Weightwatchers also do a range of healthy food which you'll find compliments the switch programme.
