My weight - how long should I book into a spa to notice a difference in it?

A spa-stay can give you a kick-start for losing weight but - and don't get too depressed - you are not likely to lose much weight while you're there.

If you're going to lose weight, then what a spa stay can do for you is give you a chance to begin a new lifestyle - one that will help you go on losing weight when you get back home.

Three or four nights in a spa will get you past the most difficult part of a new eating regime and lifestyle, and give you enough of an energy boost to mean that it's easier to keep up the changes at home. It's a time to try more exercise and careful eating.

Just as importantly, it gives you some time to review your life and summon the willpower to make longer-lasting changes stick.You may lose some water-weight in a sauna, or with certain wrap treatments, but that'll go back on as soon as you have a drink of water.

Losing weight takes time if you're going to do it in a healthy, lasting way. But if you go to a spa and also indulge yourself with some treatments, this can make you feel great and want to continue what you've started.

Promise yourself another trip in a few weeks' time as a reward for making the effort to stick to your good resolutions - and the resolutions may just last, too. Good luck - we'll see you in the Jacuzzi.
