Weight Watchers begins meetings in Bullard area
Special to the Banner

A new national survey conducted on behalf of Weight Watchers reveals that the top New Year's resolutions will be eating healthier (64 percent) and exercising (63 percent).

Weight Watchers is moving its Bullard location.

Starting Feb. 4, meetings will now be held every Monday at 9:30 a.m. at Priority Image Complex, 51655 US 69.

In addition to a new location, new members will be provided with a KickStart guide, a resource that provides simple steps to members to start adopting a healthy lifestyle within the first 24 hours, when they often need support to get started.

The KickStart guide is also a beneficial tool to current members who want to boost their progress in achieving their ultimate healthy weight goal, providing program information, pocket-sized reference guides for eating out, easy meal plan ideas, recipes, and much more.

Judi Pilgrim will be leading meetings at the Bullard location.

She, like all of our leaders, lost weight following the Weight Watchers program.

"I like to remind my members that it's progress, not perfection, " says Pilgrim. "There are 21 meals in a week, so if one or two meals don't go as planned, there are still 19 others that can be recouped."

When Bullard-area residents come to Weight Watchers they will see that the program is not a diet, it's a lifestyle change that offers tools, group support, food and activity plans that are livable and effective.

At Weight Watchers meetings, people come together with a common goal - to learn how to successfully lose weight. Meetings are an important part of how Weight Watchers helps members reach their goals; in fact, people who attend meetings lose three times more weight than those who try to lose weight on their own, organizers said.

"We are excited to offer Bullard area residents this new location," said Michelle McCarthy, territory manager, Weight Watchers. "It is our intention to offer people of this and all communities a convenient place to help people reach their weight-loss goals. Our program continues to evolve and energize members to lose weight and keep it off long term."

Weight Watchers holds more than 50,000 weekly meetings where members receive group support and education about healthy eating patterns, behavior modification and physical activity.

Meeting Information

Weight Watchers meetings last approximately 35 minutes. We recommend that our members attend one meeting each week to learn about healthy eating, gain motivation and have their confidential weigh-in to track their progress. The public is also welcome to "Be Our Guest" at a participating Weight Watchers meeting with no obligation to join, just to see what it is all about. Program materials are not included.
