Weight Watchers

I did not like the place or the program. I tied it for 1 month and I didn’t lose any weight. It is really wasting time

Like most people I want to lose some weight and have gotten to a point where I will try just about anything. Someone I know had just lost a bunch of weight, like 70 lbs, on WW so I decided to give one of their meetings a try.
I did the 8am Friday meeting. There were about 10 — 15 other women — 3 of them were in their mid to late 20’s and the others were 40+. No men. The counselor was also middle aged with an average looking body. As a 20 something trying to get ready for the Summer (a little late in the season, i know!) it was a bit discouraging to not have more women my age or at least a leader with a rock hard bod. Leader also felt kinda phony to me.
They went over the topics I have discussed and read about many times — why do we eat when we eat, what are we thinking when we do it, what can we do differently. The meeting lasted 30 minutes.
Once it was over I went to the staff person at the front who was doing weigh in’s. She was 55+. I know this sounds kinda bitchy, and it honestly doesn’t matter how old you are, but I felt like the women working at this location were all retired and looking for something to keep them busy…
The woman who weighed me in was totally not helpful. I was asking questions about the program and what the difference is between the online only program and doing meetings… she seriously said at one point «I can’t make a decision for you…» UM, not asking you to make a decision for me just asking you to be supportive and help ME make a decision!
Anyway, horrible sales person. WW step your game up!
I’ll stick to Lose It! They have a great app and are FREE :)
**Giving them 2 stars instead of 1 because I do know people who have lost weight through the program, but honestly I think it comes down to self control and deciding on your own that you are ready to eat healthy**

Amy F is an amazing leader and very motivating. I’ve only missed 1 meeting in 7 months. I’ve had great success and will continue to make the meetings a part of my life.

To begin, here is a quote from Office Space:
Peter Gibbons: So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that’s on the worst day of my life.
Dr. Swanson: What about today? Is today the worst day of your life?
Peter Gibbons: Yeah.
Dr. Swanson: Wow, that’s messed up.
***Now, I will edit this as one of my conversations with my boyfriend:
Me: So I was sitting at my desk today, and I realized, ever since I started doing Weight Watchers, every single day of my life I’ve been thinner than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that’s on the thinnest day of my life.
Pat: What about today? Is today the thinnest day of your life?
Me: Yeah.
Pat: Wow, that’s awesome.
Because of Weight Watchers, I’ve lost 21 lbs in 3 months.
I cannot believe I’m the first to review this location. Amy F. is my leader and she does a great job of motivating our group to really work the PointsPlus program. She gave me a hug when I reached my 10% loss goal and was truly excited for me. It’s great to have that kind of support from a complete stranger in a program in addition to family and friends.
If there’s one thing that’s changed my life the most lately, it’s been the Weight Watchers program. It’s helped me eat healthy, exercise, and truly live a healthy lifestyle. And don’t ever feel ashamed or embarassed or think only obese people need help losing weight — this program is truly about living a healthy lifestyle and never looking back, whether its 5 or 50 pounds that you need to lose!
