WW Express meeting?

[scootersmom]

I've been doing the WW online program and have lost 7 pounds, but I feel I'd be more committed to the program if I started going to meetings.

According to the WW website, the meeting closest to my house is an express meeting. Can anyone tell me what that is? I'm assuming it's different than a regular meeting, but in what way?

I called the WW number, and was on hold forever. I should remember, the fastest way to get a question answered is to post it on the DIS!

Thanks!

Express meetings are just a shorter class time. 30 minutes. That's what I attend and I love it. I think regular classes are 60 minutes.

Thanks for the quick response, TCKK!
That sounds great to me as I'm always pressed for time in the evenings. I bet my daughter would do it with me too, an added bonus!

The express is best for me too. I'm going with my mother and now my sister has started too. Plus we have 2 friends that have started since mom & I did. It really makes it fun when we're all together. That and the friends here at WISH are what's making it work for me.

WOW, I have never heard of express meetings. All the meetings I have attended have always been 1/2 hr. You go there early though to weigh in. DON't underestimate the line that can form just before class starts. I hated standing in line still while class was comencing. I wanted to be sitting down. Then the meeting is about 1/2 hour. I think the meetings are awesome, and you will get lots of good ideas.

So, would getting there about 1/2 hour before the start of the meeting be enough time for getting signed up and weighing in for the first week I attend?

Thanks, everyone, for taking the time to answer all these questions. What an awesome group!

If it's your first time I would go 1/2 hour early. Then you sit through the regular meeting and after that there is a quick newbie meeting. At that time they just go over the program and answer any questions you might have about it.

I love my meetings. This week I was scheduled to work until 5:30 (that's when my meeting time is) I asked to leave early so I could get there on time!

that would be a good idea to go early. Because you can sign up, and then look over the info before the meeting starts. And it gives you an idea of when to be there next time to avoid the long line. I always try and time it so I am there just before the line!

Enjoy, you won't be dissapointed!
