Thanks for taking part in the survey
There's been a huge interest in the free weight loss survey so, firstly, thank you to all of you who took time to really appraise your feelings and attitudes towards losing weight. Hopefully some of you will have emerged with an understanding that you need to do some things differently in order to succeed at losing weight and keeping it off. After all, that's what my weight loss programme is all about.
