The perfect time to kick-start diet

- Michelle

Well, who has got the January blues, who has overindulg­ed over the festive period and who has made a new year’s resolution to go on a diet?

Does this sound familiar? We are now well into January and I bet Christmas seems a long time ago, but it is time to start looking ahead.

Christmas time is a time that a lot of us just eat and drink more than we usually do. It is hard to say “no” with all the office parties, family gatherings, and holiday time, meaning more time to sit and indulge.

My meetings started back last week, and although a few regulars are still missing in action, a lot have decided to get back on track straight away and carry on with their weight loss journey.

A lot of new members have also decided January is a good time to lose weight.

I’m also so far delighted at the fabulous weight loss that some members have continued to be successful with over the festive period, as they found our Flex plan allowed them to eat more, worry less, and have more flexibilit­y around their weight loss plan.

Members who continued to lose weight, just utilised the list of over 200 zero pointed foods, and kept their daily smart points budget for those little indulgenci­es, like a glass or two of prosecco, some mince pies, and of course the obligatory selection boxes.

It can always be hard to get the motivation at this time of year, to get started on a new you, but the question to ask yourself is: “How will you feel in six months time if you start today?”

So stop putting off the new you, and come along to join a local Weight Watchers class, Thursday 7pm in the Burnside Hotel, and Friday 10am in the Cambuslang Rugby Club, and find out how you can enjoy all the foods you love while still losing weight and feeling great. Can I also take this opportunit­y to wish you all a healthy and happy 2018.
