Weight watchers Northern Ireland

belfastgal

Anyone know if any offers on at weightwatchers Northern Ireland at the minute ? I joined in October but after being away with work in November I didn't go back....Dont fancy paying another £14 on the first week when they usually have a few 'free to join again' weeks.Any info would be great as their terms etc are different from the Uk Mainland ( for some reason) Thanks

try the website, they have a postcode locator thingy. They seem to be opening up a few in N Ireland.

Meant to say that it was £9.25 to join and £4.75 pw according to the leaflet that i got through the door.

Thats a good price for "slimming World". W.W is £14 to join and £5.50 per week. and if you miss two weeks ( which ia easy in the run up to christmas ) you have to pay another £14.....may just bite the bullet and rejoin !!!!

no offence, but you can buy your own scales in Tesco for <£5, why would you pay someone to take your weight every week? Or am I missing the point.

From someone who did well at WW a few years back I can only say this is a common myth from some people.

Yes I am a bloke that went to WW but to me its not just about jumping onto a set of scales once a week and have a natter.

It may take some people the collective spirit to keep on a healthy lifestyle. Some people are not lucky enough to have focus and will power to keep them on the straight and narrow 24/7.

Even for people who think they are healthy it is an education to attend WW classes.. I remember a few of my mates asking me for a "lend" of my WW books when I was attending. Yet the same people could not pluck up the courage to walk through a WW door.

Everyone has their own way of trying to lose weight and I can confirm from my own experiences that it definitely does work when it is applied correctly.
