I was unhappy with myself for a long time but never really believed I had the willpower to do anything about it. I'm a fussy eater and love chocolate and junk food so pretended for a long time that I wasn't really bothered about my weight and never did much about it.

When my sister Ali said she was going to try dieting I said I'd try with her but for the first couple of weeks trying to count calories neither of us got very far and I wasn't that surprised, it was hard going and until you see results you wonder why you're depriving yourself.

It was then that we discovered that Weight Watchers offered an 'At Home' solution on CD Rom so we thought we'd give it a try... the rest, as they say, is history. Counting points made it so much easier than counting calories and I think in the 2 years since I started I've had chocolate every single day! That's my kind of diet :o)

I never would have started without Ali's help and support and I'd never have finished if it wasn't for Weight Watchers! For anybody out there that thinks you can't do it... if I can you can... I even managed to quit smoking at the same time!!
