    Leanne, you know that I've used it... and managed to lose 4kg in 4 weeks with very little exercise.

    I found it really helpful because I was having to figure out for myself what I could and couldn't eat to fit within the limits. If I treated myself to something a little naughty (or went out for dinner), I could see just how I needed to behave through the rest of the day/week to keep things within acceptable levels.

    But like Lucy, once you get things set up and sorted out, it's actually quite easy. I do recall sitting down and crying after recording my first breakfast once I started - it seemed so complicated and took ages... but I had things under control fairly quickly after that.

    Good luck!

    Hi Leanne
    I joined about a week ago (Lucy after reading your blog actually you go girl!) and have found it to be a godsend - certainly keeps me honest on portion sizes and treats which are my main problems I think.
    I have learnt to copy meals from previous days (eg I have the same thing for breakfast) which is helpful.
    So far without any exercise I have dropped about 2 kg.
    Will keep you posted.

    I don't use it but DBF does. He was nearly 170kg as is now a littel over 140kg. So he has lost about 25kg in about 12 weeks I think (along with joining the gym).
    It's been great as an educational tool for him. He can actually see what's in each thing he eats and how much he can eat.
    He raves about it and is constantly trying to recruit others to it.
    It did take him a while to figure out how to edit his page but now does it with his eyes closed.

    Leanne- I used Weight Watchers Online for 3 months and didn't lose a kg either! I didn't have time for excercise but I thought I would have at least lost a little bit in that time!

    I joined KC a while ago but it seemed to difficult so I didn't use it. Seeing what it has does for other people I think I might join
