WW at work question

[ajo66]

Does anyone know how many people you need to sign up to do a Weight Watcher program at your workplace?

I just started today at ww at work, we needed 20 prepaid participants to have it started. So we had to prepay for 10 weeks.

The meeting is an hour long.

We needed 15 pre-paid people minimum. If we had gotten 20, I would have gotten a 25% discount (as the organizer) and we would have all gotten free e-tools. We just barely got the 15! It's for 13 weeks then we re-evaluate if 15 want to continue for another 13 weeks...

I've done WW at work on and off for years. What I found was a downfall was that people get bored with it after two or three weeks and never come back. Those that are into get left in the dust when the session ends and they are on their own and need to find an offsite meeting because they no longer have the minimum amout to lose. That all said, it's great to have someone come in and it's right in the office. Like everything else in life those that want to do something about their health will!

One other note, check with you HR Benefits department, depending on your health care plan, weight watchers might be a refundable expense through your health care plan (at least a portion of it).
