Ms Lennox has lost an incredible 50 kgs since joining Weight Watchers three years, one week and one day ago.

She said that in September 2006 she had reached a stage where she was very uncomfortable and her weight was impacting on her health. When she heard about Weight Watchers (WW), she made the commitment to travel to Warren once a week as Nyngan did not have a WW meeting at the time. She said this was one of the best decisions she had made in her life.

Thanks to the strong support and guidance of her inspiring WW leader and member team at Warren, Ms Lennox experienced a fantastic start on her life-changing journey of understanding how healthy eating, activity and a positive behavioural change can result in healthy weight loss and feeling of wellbeing. Her encouraging results and support motivated her to continue her weight-loss journey. She went on to lose 30kg before reaching a plateau where she began to struggle to maintain her motivation during a period even when normal everyday commitments seemed to be challenging, so decided to have a break.

Ms Lennox said she thought she could do it on her own but soon realised that she missed the support, guidance, inspiration and education she used to have access to in her Weight Watchers meeting.

So when Weight Watchers re-opened in Nyngan in March this year, she once again took the opportunity to attend meetings. She said attending the meetings was a very important aspect of motivation, support and encouraging you to change behaviours towards healthy weight loss.

She confirms that WW is not a diet, but a clinically proven health, fitness and weight-loss program to show you ways of making healthy eating choices where you do not have to starve or deprive yourself. If you can combine this with some activity, you can often lose weight faster and feel fitter and healthier as a result.

Ms Lennox said that at times it was not easy to keep going - during her time with WWs she has stopped at least four times. Each time she was able to use the skills she had gained by to get back on track, and knew she could come back to the meetings as WWs was a program for life and could help “maintain” weight loss as well.
