Four Burnie Ladies felt there was a need in Burnie for a weight loss support club, they got together and held their first meeting in one of their homes. The club started off as 'weight watchers' but had to change the name when another weight club came to Australia. There were three names put forward but "Weight Controllers" got the most votes. The first official weigh in  was on the 8^th April 1970 with about 10 members and has grown over the years. We at this present moment have 45 financial members. Some of them being the original members still coming to encourage the newer generation to eat healthy and enjoy life.

We are not professionals in the weight games but we are here to support and encourage you in gaining a healthier life style.

The Weight Controllers club has now been going for 37 years.
