How much weight will I lose?

The amount of weight lost depends on a number of factors including starting weight, activity levels, compliance with the program, and many other factors.

As a guide, from the over 20,000 members who have participated in Healthy Weight For Life programs, it is expected that if the program is followed conscientiously you should see at least a 5% reduction in your starting weight by the end of week 6 and be approaching an 8% reduction by the end of the program. However success relies on consistency and perseverance and the exact amount of weight lost varies between participants.

There are numerous ways of assessing the benefit of your Healthy Weight for Life™ program – you may be surprised to know that measuring your body weight is only one of them.
