Can’t pay for the session upfront? Take advantage of payroll deduction and pay in more manageable installments during the course of the session. Can’t stay for all the meetings during the session? Members who join At Work series may attend any other meeting in the area at no additional charge by showing their attendance book. Leaving IC before the 16-week session ends? You can finish out the series in your new location at no additional cost by showing your attendance book, as long as the 16-week series is paid in full at the time of your departure. Go to http://www.weightwatchers.com/plan/turnaround/index.aspx for more information on the two popular approaches to Weight Watchers easy-to-follow TurnAround™ plan, Flex and Core. You can follow one or the other, or even combine the two for a custom program that works for you! Don’t wait – start now!

I cannot emphasize enough what a terrific program this is! By following the program and participating in the discussions, I was able to reduce my blood pressure medicine by 1/2, and have much more energy! The fact that my weight has also gone down is a terrific bonus. Thank you, HR, for making it so much easier for us to participate by offering payroll deduction! If anyone out there is on the fence & would like to talk with a participant, please feel free to contact me!

My weight reached an all-time high after the birth of my two children. Just before my first was born, we moved into a ranch on West Hill with a walkout basement. I hated going down those stairs, especially lugging a laundry basket, for any reason because I knew that I would have to climb back up—and I would be breathless after doing so. It’s only one flight! I remember longing for a home with the laundry room on the first floor.
I have participated in the Weight Watcher at Work meetings here at IC since they began in May 2000. Since that time I have managed to drop 50 pounds and pretty much keep it off. Now I don’t mind climbing up and down those stairs; I actually enjoy it. As a matter of fact, I take the stairs whenever possible as opposed to an elevator. Weight Watchers taught me how to make the right choices. I also developed strategies for dealing with situations like eating out, facing a buffet table and squeezing in more physical activity. The most important thing I learned, however, is that in order to succeed I need to have the correct mindset. I’m doing this for the rest of my life, which is now. Sure, I still look forward to special events in my life and hope that I can reach a certain goal by then. But life goes on after the event is over, so I do my best to look beyond it. I still have a ways to go before I reach my goal. Some days are harder than others. Going to At-Work meetings every week keeps me on track. I know that I will make it – I’ve come this far!

I just want people to know that this program really works. I started it two years ago - I was almost 17 - and it has helped me lose the weight I've been trying to lose. The best part is that I still eat normal food - the only change is that I'm eating within a point system. I don't have to worry about other people knowing that I'm dieting. Plus, this program is fun and everyone at the meetings is in it together. It's worth the money - believe me!

We are still accepting registrations for a Weight Watchers at Work group here on campus. Time is running out, though, for the opportunity to join a supportive group of co-workers before the hot summer months settle in.
