WW (Weight Watchers)

WW doesn't have any Studios in Reno. They meet in hotels. It was nicer when they had Studios because  they had all the products you could buy.

My WW leader, Jani Jenkins, is the best. She keeps the meetings interesting and fun. A weight loss lecture is dry and boring. She her experiences and encourages her members to add their's. She is a positive influence on her members. I always look forward to coming to her meetings, even if I had a bad week. She gets me back on track by the end of the meeting.

I really enjoy attending the meetings here and actually drive all the way across town to make the 7am meeting on Fridays. I particularly enjoy the leader Jani, she is energtic, humorous and really knows what she is talking about and is able to give you information and help along the way tthat really stays with you. She is a shining example for WW. For a while the ladies at the front desk were not engaging and did not give the place a great vibe, let me just say, this is no longer the case. I see this no longer an issue and am always greeted in a pleasant manner with hello and goodbye a solid part of their reportoire. These meetings are essenial to work a good program, no sense of diet here, just a view to learning to eat more healthfully, we all know what we should be eating but some need reminders on a weekly basis....moi! I first attended WW here in Reno in the 70's and keep going back as I know I love to lose weight and I know I hate to gain it back! WW is my answer. I find the people here are always mindful, particularly at the scale, never embarrassing remarks but only positive. Truly a safe and encouraging place to come to address any and all your weight/health concerns.

For years, I've been a yoyo dieter.  I have followed many diets like the Southbeach Diet, the Paleo diet and even the Atkins diet.  I'd lose the pounds and then a few months or a year later, I'd gain it all back.  Finally, this year, a friend convinced me to try Weight Watchers.  I love it!!   You don't have to keep track of calories, just points.  You can eat whatever you want as long as you stay within your points.  Plus fruits, vegetables, eggs, chicken and non-fat yogurt are "free" items with zero points.  My smart phone tracks the points and it is so easy to follow!  For those people who don't have a smart phone, you can still track points in a notebook.  My phone even scans a foods barcode and calculates the points for me.  It's a no brainer!  I lost the stubborn 15 pounds and have kept it off.  Once you hit your "goal" weight, you become a lifetime member at no charge.  The catch is that you must get weighed in at least once a month and not exceed your goal weight by 2 pounds.   I'm pretty frugal so I'm very motivated to keep the pounds off and stay a free member.  I still attend meetings now and then because there's a lot of good information and motivation at the meetings.  The counselors at the Lakeside WW along with the front desk staff have been very nice and helpful.
