[QUOTE="mrsmousemat, post: 130689, member: 25432"] I used to do the weighing in at WeightWatchers many years ago. And I think that the thing that helps with slimming clubs is being with others in the same boat. And the weekly weigh in. Especially if you go with annoying friends who consistently lose weight every week. The slimming diets that work all seem to have the usual suspects - oily fish, cottage cheese, chicken loads of fruit and veg , Desperate Dan Cow Pies (oops sorry - not the last one, of course - just testing.) What I meant to write of course was Popeye's Spinach ... So really any well known supervised slimming club is ok, providing you do the pick and mix from their favoured foods, according to your own way of eating. I would say that I never noticed anyone who took up exercise to lose weight quicker. But then you apparently have to walk 13miles before losing a doughnut's worth of food. It's not to say that I disagree with exercise - in fact I think it's an excellent hobby, that I intend to get around to as soon as I am supplied with a housekeeper, gardener, cleaner and personal fitness trainer. The thing that I noticed at the weighing was that the people that lose weight fast usually are the ones to put it on again - fast. So don't be upset if you don't lose massive lots of weight every week. From my experience, forget the chocolate cake - if your weak point is chocolate. Can you just have one from the box? Er no? Neither can I. Inhuman. Everyone has triggers that start them off on binges.... Mostly it seems to be cheese and chocolate. Or alcohol. So I think that it is best to give your trigger a wide berth. Because you will succumb unless you have a brave and willing partner willing to throw himself/herself in the teeth of your eating path. Better still for partnership harmony - ban the trigger from the house, as it seems a bit inconsiderate to ban the partner. I seem to remember that several years ago, around 92percent of slimming club members were back up to their former weights within one or two years - can't remember which. But WW's stats were slightly better than this. IMO: It's easier to lose the weight than to keep it off. I kept mine off (within around half a stone) for around 20 years. But then I had another baby ..... sigh. You know the story... Anyway I hope this helps. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
