Weight and body image are often important topics for women on this forum. Some of us are supporting each other in following a particular programme that emphasises managing our need to eat too much rather than dieting.

I feel this ad could be trying to exploit the very strong feelings that many of us here have about our weight, our bodies and our self image.

I clicked on the website to find out more. They do not say how much the weight loss programmes cost, only that prices may vary depending on your needs.

I have made sure that the ad is out of my view because it is really annoying me.

I am not naive and understand that magazines need to sell ads to survive, but this one is cashing in on the insecurities of some of the forum members.
