Weight Watchers has been one of the fastest growing weight loss groups since the early nineteen sixty's. It is a program that encourages getting a healthy body by living a healthy lifestyle. It uses a point system, which means it gives points for the food one eats and it works because one is not supposed to go over their required number of points. The number of points recommended for each person is determined by age, height and weight. Weight Watchers is not the type of weight loss group that has a list of foods people can eat, and a list of foods that people can't eat. It allows people to make healthier food choices and encourages physical activity so that people can lose weight, and keep it off.
Weight Watchers comes with two plans that are available. One plan is called the Flex Plan which involves counting the calories and points and keeping track of them, and the other plan is the Core plan which involves focusing on wholesome foods and skipping the counting aspect of the plan. Both plans however are built around Weight Watchers Healthy Eating Guidelines which are the recommendations about daily intake of fruits, vegetables, dairy, water, protein, vitamins, sugars, healthy oils, and whole-grain foods.
Weight Watchers hold local meetings in areas near where people live once a week. At these meetings people will receive motivation, mutual support and encouragement in handling the challenges people will face in the process.

Pamela,
ReplyDeleteI think that you are on the right track with your webtext you have already given alot of useful background information that people can use who may be interested in the program. I know a lady that I worked witht that lost 75 punds in about a year doing Weight Watchers and she looks like a totally different person.
Weight watchers seems like a great aspect of your topic to talk about for the podcast! I'm interested to hear about the real facts... b/c I've always heard about weight watchers but never really knew how well it worked or anything such as that.
ReplyDeleteYea, i agree with Shakira. You seem like your doing really well so far.
ReplyDeleteSame with Marcy. I always see the commercials for Weight Watchers and see the prodects at the grocery stores but I wasn't exactly sure how it all worked. I'm sure after your podcast I'll know all about it!
ReplyDeleteI'm with everyone else i have seen all the commercials and everything and still didnt really understand it so i know oyu prodcast will help.
ReplyDeleteAgreeing with everyone else, I think that this is a good add-on to your semester work. History, the different programs Weight Watchers has, how it works, etc. are all great areas to touch on in your podcast. Also, statistics of how well the program works vs. other programs(if available) and pricing might be good to add in there if you need more info. to meet your time requirement, which you probably won't. Actually, you probably should mention the pricing anyways...I mean, I'm interested so others probably will be, too. Good luck!
