Hi Grevo --- before your first meeting you would usually (though not always) have been to meet your counsellor and watched a dvd about LighterLife, he/she would also then give you a form that has to be filled in by your GP before you can start - if you don't see your LLC they can post the form out to you.
When you go to your first class you take your form and £66 which is how much LL is per week. When you get there you'll meet the group of men or women that you'll be in with --- women do foundation of 100 days, not too sure how long it is for men.
The first meeting can seem a bit chaotic as your LlC will take you all out one bye one and weigh you, measure your bust/chest, waist and hips and also take your photograph (front and side angle) - they will take your photo again at the end of foundation so you can see the difference.
While everyone is getting weighed and measured the rest of the group will just chat amongst themselves, then when everyone is done you'll all watch a short dvd and then if there's time have a counselling session.
Your measurements are taken approx every 4-6 weeks so you can see how and where you're losing from.
After foundation if you still need to lose more you go on to Development, you can stay there for as long as you need. You then go on route to management where the price of the class goes down depending on the number of packs you're having a day. You go down to 3 and then 2 and then down to 1 so it gets cheaper each time.
Hope this has helped ---- when is your first class - any idea?
