claim for weightwatchers as an expenditure?

[olympic_torch]

evening all.
does anyone out there claim for weightwatchers/slimming world as an expenditure, or is it a no-no?

I have never seen this put forward as allowable expenditure, but do not see why it should not be included within the "miscellaneous" expenditure. Have you been eating too many pies???

I considered trying to claim for it but didn't think I'd get away with it! And yes, I have been eating too many pies as the scales at Weight Watchers proved tonight - I put on 1.5lb!

melanie.
how very dare you !.
i have the body of an 18 year old, (and he wants it back !).
i was attending slimming world up until recently and lost 4 stone, got a little expensive with both me and mrs torch going, so had to knock it on the head.
just wondered whether to put it down when i get my first review, i know its a long way off, just planning ahead.

Well done for losing 4st! I joined Slimming World years ago and lost 2 stone but got fed up with going to the meeting, and paying the money! I joined Weight Watchers in March but I'm really struggling with motivation and money. Perhaps we should start the IVA Forum Slimming Club! I said the other day that my body is a temple and Dave replied so was the Acropolis once but look at it now! I'm lucky that my work pays for a gym membership, it's just finding the motivation to go.

skippy13.
yes, it does get a little expensive, just to pay to get weighed.
my company also has corporate membership at a gym, so i have no excuse really,(apart from being a lazy barsteward that is).
i have lapsed recently, and am determined to get my racing snake figure back, so we will try to find the money.
i don't want a repeat of the last time we went to the seaside, i was sunbathing and greenpeace tried to drag me back into the sea.

Skippy,

You say you have gained one and a half pounds at weightwatchers tonight, if I were you I'd keep quiet about it otherwise your creditors might want 50% of it.

Chris.

Well Dave calls me his little hippopotamus, and I too have no excuse (apart from my laziness!) for not going to the gym. I've only ever stayed for the WW meeting once, and I nearly got thrown out for arguing with the Fuerher, sorry, Leader, so I pay £5 per week just to get weighed but I'm going to persevere - I WILL BE THIN!

Good luck, and let me know how you get on. I've got 1 1/2 to 2 stone to lose - that's depressed me just thinking about it!

I am a compulsive dieter and over the years have tryed them all.
I would not reccommend the cabbage soup diet i was working in A&E when i tryed this and all i can say is ive never moved from one cubicle to the other so fast in my life to conceal the smell,i am now back doing slimming world at home my other half always laughs and asks what day does chocolate come under,i tell him its the brown day and just lately ive had loads of them,like you Skippy one day i will be slim,dont know what day that will be but i have to have a dream

[Skippy]

Glad it's not just me Tracy! I'm really trying with Weight Watchers but I'm finding it so hard. Dave is taking me on holiday 6 weeks on Saturday and I would like to lose half a stone by then - if I can find some motivation it should be possible! Every now and then I dream about being back in my size 12 skirts, but then I wake up!

We werent built for speed we were built for comfort[not true i know] but makes me feel better,no seriously i think we need some advice from the slimline Mr Torch.

[Sadsack]

Now what I would do to be like you girls out there!!! I eat for England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland (throw in Africa as well) and I cannot put any weight on! It just seems to keep falling off! If I put my arms up, I'll probably fall thru my bottom!!!! New partner says I need to jump around in the shower to get wet or stand behind a lamp post to cast a shadow!! How rude!!!!

PS There is a great diet on Best of Spark on the internet and its free with a brilliant excercise programme, support network and --------------


THE FOOD IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Skippy]

I agree Tracy, I am definitely built for comfort! My problem is I hate exercise and I love food! Sue, I eat for all 5 continents and sadly it all goes straight to my stomach and thighs! Oh well, I'm off to the gym now...

If anything comes off at the gym, send it my way please! Being in an IVA and a budget of £20 a month for clothing - I cannot afford to buy clothes to fit! Anyone out there with a belt with holes all the way around!!!!!
