my friend started going to weight watchers, with her mum so she did not have to go it alone, she only used to stay for the weigh in not the meeting afterwards. she had the points book, then after 4 or 5 weeks started doing it by herself. she found a it of both worked well for her, got her confidance up and now she is obsessed by it, as she lost nearly 2 and a half stone in 12 weeks!
