You are not alone: help for your New Years weight loss resolution Losing weight is one of the most popular New Year's resolutions. According to a recent survey 97% of people who resolve to lose weight in the New Year say they think they will need some assistance to keep their resolution. However, each year many people go it alone without any support. King County’s Weight Watchers at Work® program brings together people facing the same challenges in a supportive environment and helps members build the skills they need to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
Weight Watchers Coordinators like Lynn Mazer (Courthouse), Beverly Nitz (Yesler), and Chris Zanassi (King Street Center) are critical to the success of King County’s Weight Watchers at Work® program. Thanks to all coordinators past and present for their extraordinary efforts.
| Since the program began in 2006 King County employees participating in Weight Watchers at Work® have collectively shed almost 9,000 pounds. In addition, 30 employees have reached Lifetime status, meaning they have achieved their individual goal weight. As an added bonus, Lifetime Members who stay within two pounds of their goal weight pay no fee for attending weekly meetings. If weight management is one of your 2009 goals, consider participating in King County’s Weight Watchers at Work® program.
