I've been to both of those WW classes and they both have young and old going to them. There's a great variety in ages so you won't find one class with more young people than another. The class leader in the Bridge Club in Thomas' Hill is way better than the one at Ardkeen though so if weren't tied to any particular day I'd choose the Bridge Club class. Best of luck with it, it definitely works if you stick to it.

I have found Weight Watchers and Unislim good when I bothered going but the worst place by far was the motivational weight loss clinic I went to, not the Waterford one.
It was just a hard sell to buy their meal replacements and snacks that were very expensive for what they were. I've read similar on other forums from people who've experienced the same thing.
I'm expecting delivery of a threadmill this week and once Easter is over I'm going to get back on track.
I have found that if I plan my meals and write down everything I eat on a tracker sheet then I have a better weight loss plus I'm able to plan for the occasional meal out and choose healthier options.
I've a friend who wants to shift some weight so we can encourage each other. I'm not going to go back to WW as they're charging a hell of a lot more here than they do in the UK, at least double.
The best success I had and the easiest diet to follow was with Slimming Magazine Clubs in the UK when I lived in London. It was very flexible and healthy with allowances for treats. There wasn't any banned food or drink. Typical I got to target weight and concieved my son 3 days later. I've still got the diet sheets so will follow that.

Hi Vampireskiss,
I'm not a big believer in WeightWatchers and that industry to be honest. Only benefit I can see is that you are in a community of others who have similar goals, so it more of a feel good factor that others are in the same boat as yourself.
But from observation and listening to others I would try below for 1 month and see does it work:
(1) First off I would give up Chinese, really not good food. I noticed the Chinese Food thread you started after this one.
(2) Grab a friend and go for a nice long hour walk 2-3 times week. If you are with someone you would be surprised how quickly time passes when you are chatting. If you cant get a friend to go 2-3 times, get 2 or 3 friends and get one to go different evenings.
(3) Start writing down what you eat and start cutting things out. Replace Diet Coke and that stuff with diluted orange or something.
(4) keep something like chocolate to a treat once a week.
(5) Circuit Training is really good, dont be put off thinking it is military regrime, you dont have to do all stations and can adjust to suit yourself. This girl who does a tuesday and thursday nights at 7pm in the Ursuline girls school is really good. Also it is normally to be aching after the first 2 weeks, just means you body is adjusting and getting used to something. You will feel like crap doing it but will feel great afterwards.
Easy for me to say above, but it does work.....well I think so anyhow.
Also ONLY shop after you have eaten then you will be less likely to buy bad foods.
Just my 2 cents
Best of luck

Why dont you save your money and just have a look at the fitness form on here. Loads of info on there adout diets and training. What you should and shouldnt eat. You dont have to be a bodybuilder like some on there just any exercise that you like and as often as you like. At the end you get out of it what you put into it and keep your will power up!
It will save you a few bob with the other rip off services,

Without sounding derogotary (spelling...) my girl friend was with weightwatchers on and off for ages and didnt find it great. She join waterford weight loss motivation clinic and lost three stone and still goin. Its not cheap but its one to one no groups or anything , she swears by it and it makes her happy.
