So I took the plunge this past weekend and joined Weight Watchers. I have been a member before and was really successful. I did gain all my weight back plus more when I quit. I was a WW dropout.
Now that the weather is nicer, I felt ready to hop back on the bandwagon. This center is the closest to my house. This location has after work meetings seven days a week, but the last meeting on a Friday is 4:30 (perfect to weigh in before Happy Hour ends!) Saturday and Sunday have great hours as well.
They have some street parking, but good luck with that. Even though Phillip's Plaza is basically attached, I don't suggest parking there. You are being watched and most likely will be towed while sharing your weigh loss success from the week. That sure kills the excitement from that -.4 loss! There is an underground lot but I have never used it. I park around the block if I can't find anything.
The staff here is awesome. So friendly and helpful! They really make you feel welcome and that this is the place that can change your life. I love that WW hires people who have lost a significant amount of weight on WW and not just someone walking in to fill out an application. The meeting leaders are so motivating. They make you want to keep coming back. Barbara holds the 12:00PM class on Saturday. She is my favorite. I will skip going out Friday night just so I can weigh in and attend her meeting. She passes around her before photo showing her at her heaviest, and then to see her in the flesh, showcasing her 70+ weight loss. It is amazing.
The place itself is a little dingy. I don't know why but the carpet is a mess and the cheap, auditorium-esque plastic chairs are not comfortable for even 2 minutes. They always have plenty of snacks, bars, cookbooks and such to keep you buying. read more
