Apart from weight watchers...
 

any other good places for weight loss?

i'm interested in the more active events rather than the measure your food kinda thing.

my diet is bang on but i dont get much fitness work as i used to so any classes yoga etc would be interesting...

any of that dance-fitness thing too...

There is a Barefoot Boogie session starting at the Civic Arts Centre, Oswaldtwistle on Friday, 10th September ... 7 -9 p.m. for all ages. Runs until the end of November (except 29th October).

"Dance to feel good ! Facilitated dance and movement sessions based on shake Your Soul, 5 Rhythms. Mind-Body-centring.. with guest facilitators.

£3 session ... No need to book, just drop in.

Might be worth a try and no commitment for a 'term'.

My wife has just joined Slimming World and is loving it, although I'm not as I'm having to rethink my cooking to accommodate this 'Fry Lite' stuff.

There are classes across Hyndburn.

It's simply a spray version of sunflower oil and bangers aren't allowed anyway.

I'm leaving her to this diet business while I continue to live on the edge and eat lethal concotions such as bacon and eggs fried in butter or tea with sugar.

Re: Apart from weight watchers...
 

On July 1st last year I was !7st 4lbs. Now I am 12st 9lbs, a loss of over 4 stones. I am 79 years old so I did very little exercise,just lots of salads,plenty of fruit,cut out pastries crisps etc.I also cut my ale intake by half.Now I find that I can walk much better and do lots of things that I couldn,t do before like gardening.All it requires is a bit of willpower.

Re: Apart from weight watchers...
 

For years my weight seesawed between twelve and fourteen and a half stone, its now stable at fifteen and a half stone:D
