Thinking of Joining...
I might add that meeting also vary by the group.
I have some group that are just whinners, and it's a drag.. most of my groups are great and success oriented ! Will~ "Nunya B." wrote in message ... "Patty" wrote in message ... Hello all! Patty from Minnesota USA here. I've been thinking about joining Weight Watchers, but I'm a little cautious in terms of price. It would cost about $10 a week for the meetings. I've never been to a Weight Watchers meeting before. I was wondering what to expect. Is there nutrition education or is it just a support group? I'm sure there will be other things I can buy at the meeting--are they worth the money? It says on WW's website that the first meeting is free and I can just walk in--is that really OK? (I'm nervous when it comes to meeting new people.) I just unsubscribed from an online weight loss group. I lost a little weight, but I didn't find their community support to be very supportive. I'd like to lose quite a bit, and I think face to face contact might be more helpful. I'm looking forward to your input. Thanks in advance. Patty Meetings vary by the leader. I've been to some great meetings with lots of helpful information and support. Most of the time it's education based with support thrown in. I've been to the occasional meeting where it's simply a whining session. The first one is normally free so go try one in your area and see for yourself. -- the volleyballchick |

welcome and good luck, I generally don't even like people and I love my
meetings, you get support and education, the items they sell are generally good quality but you take what you need and leave the rest... read the response to Eddie that I wrote for my history, it is in my week 195 thread, again welcome and good luck, oh yeah there are also package deals to cut the cost, Lee Patty wrote in message ...
