    4 Stars Fighting the Battle of the Bulge Review with images 22/03/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Enter all your food and exercise and you will lose weight

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Costs money, times you out

    Ten years ago I was a 5'7", 29-year-old heavy smoker, weighing maybe nine or nine and a half stone. I was a reasonably active young mum. Like many smokers, I often substituted fags for food. I paid little attention to my weight, and though it was slowly creeping on from my post-baby low of eight and a half stone, it wasn't really a worry. It's now ten years later, and I'm ten years older. My young daughter is now a teenager, and I am now a non-smoker. I'll be 40 this year (but I don't look a day over 39). I am also (at the moment, but read on) around two stone heavier than I was one paragraph ... more

    5 Stars Big is not always best 26/08/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It works if you follow the guidelines

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Occasional server problems

    I have had problems controlling my weight all of my adult life, and must have tried every sort of diet there is. My battle of the bulge is not helped by my career choice – I am a chef. I do have a BSc degree in Food and Consumer studies, and studied nutrition as part of this so I can’t plead ignorance as an excuse for being overweight. It was sheer apathy and laziness. ~~ My dieting history ~~ I don’t want to appear too self-absorbed at this point, however I do think many people will have made similar errors trying to lose weight. So I would just like to briefly examine some ... more

    5 Stars Not a fad, not a punishment...an excellent way to lose weight! 28/07/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The progress chart, the personal and realistic goal setting, forum, affordable, the whole thing!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None!!

    Having already done at least 5 different diets, I have always thought that the best way to lose weight is really the scientific way: reduce your calorie intake, increase your exercise. I've lost weight counting calories, but then put it on because I've never known how to maintain my weight after losing it. Now I believe I have the answer to all of my problems - www.weightlossresources.co.uk I came up across the website whilst searching for 'calories needed to lose weight' and when I clicked on it, I found reams of information to help me lose weight and then to maintain my weight loss. Certain ... more

    4 Stars WARNING I lost another 21 pounds unexpectedly... 03/05/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Informative, accessible, low cost

    Disadvantages Disadvantages YOUR'E the one who has to diet!!

    ****************************************​***** ******** UPDATE 22/8/02 - everything I said below about the usefulness of this site still stands, BUT when you unsubscribe remember to tell your bank to stop the payment - I didn't, trusting to them to stop collecting it. Only 7 pounds a month so it didn't leap out (amongst the hundred other items on my Visa statement over the summer pretty small fry LOL), but it all adds up. I'm sure this is sloppy admin rather than fraud but a star has gotta go - sorry WLR! ****************************************​*** ********** Regular readers may remember that ... more

    4 Stars WLR: Changing Lifestyle, Not Just Weight 06/11/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, changes the way you think about food

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Technical problems with website, judgemental people on forums

    Weight Loss Resources I joined Weight Loss Resources (WLR) about two years ago after putting on a stone through comfort eating. I tried the 3 day free trial but knew that I would need the full subscription to get my eating under control so signed up for 3 months. Along with access to all areas of the internet I also received a booklet, and several small notebooks to use as food diaries, although I never used them as I'm on the internet more often than not. To begin with, the good points, and there are a lot of them. The food diary and exercise diary are easy to access, and it's easy to get to ... more

    4 Stars Good if you stick to it 12/06/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fun, good support, low price

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Might be a bit fastidious

    In the past, everytime I wanted to loose weight I was just being careful about what I ate for a few weeks, and oops the pounds had gone. However this time (maybe because I am getting older) this “technique” didn’t work so I decided to be more organised about it. I am not one for exercising (although I know I should) and neither one to go to slimming classes. I came across this website through some friends who joined before and lost a fair bit of weight thanks to it. The way that this website is different is because instead of counting points like Weighwatchers, you actually count your daily ... more

    4 Stars A LITTLE SUPPORT ON THE NET 12/04/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Support if required to help with weightloss.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None that I can think of

    If you are or have ever been in the position that I am in needing to lose weight and having tried most things then you might be interested in this site, quite affordable at only £7 a month it gives you both food and exercise diaries and a goal weight and all the information that you already should know but forget from day to day. To start with they give you a 3 day free trial period just to try out the service to see if it suits you, so thats what I did and I liked what I saw, this is just the kind of thing I have been looking for. You see I hate weightwatchers and slimming world type clubs as ... more

    4 Stars Here we go again...... 22/02/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages No food is off limits, massive food lists

    Disadvantages Disadvantages website could be better

    I stumbled upon weightlossresources about 18 months ago whilst browsing the internet for low cal recipes and looking for some inspiration to kick start my weightloss plan. I registered for the three day free trial and what suprised me most is that it was a FREE trial you do not need to give your card numbers advance like some so called free trials! After the three days it is not your responsibility to cancel so you need not worry about losing any monies. The subs rate various from £9 per month down to £7 per month if you pay for 6 months up front. Not bad really. This trial convinced me it was ... more

    5 Stars After years of being fat I'm now losing it!!! 27/03/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Too many to list

    Disadvantages Disadvantages very few - occacional slow server but thats all

    Much has already been written about weight loss resources in previous reviews so I won't bore you with too much information and details. Over the years I have tried various slimming clubs in the UK and overseas -I'm a hotelier and trying to get to regular meetings is difficult and eventually we all lose interest - especially with the condescending matriachs that I have found at some. This is where Weight Loss Resources comes in. The most important utility I have found is the food database - over 25,000 items including products from all the major supermarkets. The nutrition values given are ... more

    5 Stars What have you eaten today? 09/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A fabulous dieting resource

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No information for sugar intake

    Weightlossresources.co.uk is a searchable database of over 25,000 foods which can be used to record your calorie, protein, carbohydrate and fat intakes if you are dieting or if you are just interested. The number of fruit and vegetable portions you have consumed is also calculated which is a big plus. I have used the site many times and it comes with my complete recommendation. It is easy to signup and will only take a few minutes of your time. Once in it is easy to use and to navigate and is fascinating. For example if you input crisps you will get back 100's of hits, you then scroll down and ... more
