    There's nothing special in it that you cant find out here just by reading the stickies. Some people benefit more from the structure and support.

    Very much so, 20 week course is circa eur700, half up front, protein bars, soups etc, which they insist you need, will be eur45 PW. Then there is the b ooks and cd's, which will be another 100euro approx. My advice is go to a good dietician/nutritionist, and consult a personal trainer. It probably works for some, but IMO it is a pile of sh1t.

    I had a very short experience with them a few years ago. I always weighed about 14 1/2 stone and was heavily involved in sport. A serious injury left me out of action for 14 months and I ate myself up to 16 stone 9 pounds. Now I am 6'3" and broad.
    I rang them one morning about two years ago and had a chat with a facilitator about the whole process. I never even went to their offices but the phone chat made me realise what type of eater I was and this let me confront the problem alone. I had become a boredom eater. I cured that problem by getting involved in as many activities as I could during the winter so I was not munching in front of the telly. To cut a long story short I got a big help from them without ever paying them or even meeting them.
    Like anything I believe the motivation needs to be from within, not from a book or a DVD.
    I am now back playing sports and am currently 14st 9lbs.

    So they did help? Think you could be a bad example though as you seem to be an active person previously. I think in some cases these weight management clinics could be more suited to people who are not as motivated as you and probably need the support systems and the milestones.

    Agree 100%.
