Put Weight Watchers^® to Work for you

Weight Watchers Leader Michelle facilitates a meeting at the Yesler Building

King County Weight Watchers at Work^® is a weight management program that encourages healthy eating, increased physical activity, and healthy weight loss. To make participation easier and more convenient, one-hour weekly meetings are held at various King County worksites.

Join an existing meeting

Weight Watchers at Work^® is currently offered at several King County worksites. Meetings are generally offered during the lunch hour, but can be offered before or after normal work hours. Participants attend a weekly class for 13 weeks. Check the Health Matters website for locations and times of existing meetings and contact the meeting coordinator.

If you work at White Center Public Health, don’t miss the open house at 12 pm on 4/16/2009 in the large conference room. And look for another open house in May in the Yesler Building.

But you don’t have to wait for a new session to put Weight Watchers^® to work for you. New members are welcome to join any week during the series.

Want to start a new meeting at your worksite?

The first step is to find co-workers who are interested in participating in Weight Watchers at Work^®. There must be at least 15 members to start a new meeting. For group of 20 or more a small discount is offered.

Save on Weight Watchers

If you have a Flexible Spending Account, you can use these pre-tax dollars to pay for the program.
