I was just wondering whether anybody would like to start weight watchers with me??????? My mum is on it now and she has lost 18lbs in six weeks. She has ate normally and still eaten her chocolate and crisps and pasta and all the nice things. The main principle behind it is that you have a certain amount of points which you are allowed for the day. For my weight, 140lbs, i get to eat 20 points per day. This is alot considering apples are only 1/2 a point but if for example i wanted a mars bar, theres 8 of my points gone. You lose weight steadily each week, roughly 1.5-2lbs but usually more. My mum lost 6lbs in her first week. Its a really good diet because it doesnt deprive you. Im looking at losing roughly 20lbs. Im going to start it tomorrow and if anybody needs any advice or more info or wants to join me then email me at lauren4545@hotmail.com. I have got all the leaflets and guides at home which lists the foods and how many points you can burn through exercise. See you soon lauryn xx
