It’s the final week and I am delighted to report that I now weigh 13 stone and nine pounds, a total drop of 22 pounds.
Name: Francis Ryan
Starting weight: 15 stone 3 pounds
Current weight: 13 stone 9 pounds
I’m very happy with the new shape and the biggest challenge now will be to maintain my current shape.
For me personally, the past 12 weeks were all about changing bad habits and developing new healthier ones that have become a way of life. I now organise my food and diet without thinking these days and I am far more aware of what I should and shouldn’t be eating.
My Weight Watchers challenge is over but I really but I really enjoyed the support I got there so I'll keep attending the classes and continue to monitor my progress.
I will continue tracking my food and ProPoints, so I'll be keeping my own notebook indefinitely to keep record. I found writing down everything I ate and drank one of the most helpful things for my weight loss

I really want to continue my exercise regime and I will be joining the gym to supplement the work I have been doing on my own.
I have one more exam this Monday and I should have my thesis finished by the end of the summer so by that stage I'll be married, qualified, and looking like a whole new person.
I’d like to thank JOE.ie and Weight Watchers for the last 12 weeks. I am so happy that I got this great opportunity.
Have a great summer
Francis
