Advantages: The progress chart, the personal and realistic goal setting, forum, affordable, the whole thing! 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 ... ...I found reams of information to help me lose weight and then to maintain my weight loss.

Advantages: If you follow the rules you will lose weight Disadvantages: you will become addicted to the forums and may become a food bore!!!!!!
I basically want to say that it is worth the free trial - which is now 24 hours as opposed to 3 days - but you can get a good idea of whether it is something that is going to help you or not. The technical difficulties have been dealt with and there have been no time outs etc for at least 6 months.
All I would say is - if you follow the rules (ie stick to the calories you have been given ) you will lose weight !!!
I have been a member for 4 years ... ...been entertained nightly and as massive bonus lost weight too!!!!!!!!!!
The food database is huge and what isn't there you can enter the details yourself, there are no restrictions on what you eat - if you fancy fish and chips you have fish and chips - just restrict what you eat for the rest of the day and/or cut back a little throughout the week 'banking calories' or even better - go for a walk to burn off those pesky excess cals!!!!
Try it!!! ...

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 ... ...there are a lot of them. The food diary and exercise diary are easy to access, and it's easy to get to grips with both of them. They have different features each month, and different challenges for the season, such as losing weight for the summer holiday, and changing your habits for the new year. The focus isn't just on losing weight, but on changing your lifestyle from an unhealthy one, to a healthy one. People set their own personal challenges, ...
