    Runners...

    I'd love to run outside but I have pins & a plate on my ankle & they don't agree with it!!! I read about an app... Zombies! Run which sounds fun... C25K bored me a bit!!! The zombies on is you listen to your music then your interupted by a zombie attack & you have to run away from them...

    Weight losses?

    I've lost 2st 10lbs in total 1st 10lbs of that from WW since December. I originally said I wanted to get to my goal by May for my birthday but I decided that long term that was going to put too much pressure on me & leave me more likely to fail. So taking it slowly may mean I'm not exactly...

    30 day shred

    I'm also doing 30DS but alongside WW. I seen no change in the scale but I remembered to measure and had lost a total of 6 inches in the first week. When you begin an exercise routine your muscles retain water so I have read anyway :confused: I have loved the exercise... I was a regular at...

    Weightwatchers App - is it just me?

    I didn't even realise I had it on there so thanks for letting me know. I assume your using an iPhone and your mum is using an Android device. Seems it's only on Android for now. But is should be coming soon. I got this via Weight Watchers community by a google search so maybe keep a wee eye...

    Not sure if I should go on Weight Watchers? Could use some guidance

    To be honest every plan has high failure rates. People get to target and then go back to their old eating habits so the weight goes back on. If you view it as a lifestyle change and stick with counting after they make target then it will stay off. It's all down to your own willpower...

    Not sure if I should go on Weight Watchers? Could use some guidance

    Hi. If you can let us know what your concerns are then we can help answer your queries. However only you really know what will work for you. I know someone who struggled with WW but lost a huge amount on SW... me on the other hand SW would be a nightmare and WW really works for me!!! As...

    New to weight watchers....

    Hi. I looked into Slimming World but as I have no portion control at all "unlimited" wouldn't have been a good fit. For me I joined WW online just before Simple Start and I am glad I didn't do it as it is very similar to SW plans. For me the points system is fantastic... I can eat what I...

    Anyone tried Jillian Michaels DVDs?

    Well I wanted to do it in the mornings before work but had a bit of a disaster yesterday morning with the trains so didn't do it till after 8pm... then done it again this morning so kinda my fault for doing it twice in 24 hour. Not worked out in 6 months so can't expect not to be sore...

    1st time considering WW

    I'm pretty sure they give you a first month discount for the monthly pass as I looked it up a few weeks ago and it was round about £21. It really depends on how you plan on tracking. If your doing it on your phone or tablet then the app is perfect for it. I have the books from a previously...
