About Weight Watchers
Philosophy
Weight Watchers has always believed that
dieting is just one part of long-term weight management. A
healthy body results from a healthy lifestyle—which means
mental, emotional and physical health. Weight Watchers does not
tell you what you can or can't eat. Weight Watchers provides
information, knowledge, tools and motivation to help you make the
decisions that are right for you about nutrition and exercise.
They help you to make healthy eating decisions, and they
encourage you to enjoy yourself by becoming more
active.
At Weight Watchers, weight management is a
partnership that combines their knowledge with your efforts. And
trust us, your efforts will pay off! Weight Watchers will help
you on your journey by:
• Providing you with two ways to
lose weight: Flexible POINTS®
plan or No Counting plan.
• Guiding you to make positive behavioral changes in your
life.
• Motivating you every step of the way.
History
In the early 60's, Weight Watchers founder Jean Nidetch
began inviting friends into her Queens home once a week, to
discuss how best to lose weight. Today, that group of friends has
grown to millions of women and men around the world who use the
products and services of Weight Watchers to lose unwanted pounds.
After that first Queens meeting, an estimated one million people,
from Brazil to New Zealand , come together each week to help each
meet their weight-loss goals at Weight Watchers Meetings. And
now, Weight Watchers is reaching others via the Web at
WeightWatchers.com.

QUESTION #3: How
will TurnAround help me lose weight if I follow the Flex
Plan?
You can eat all the foods you love and still
stay in control. Each food has a POINTS
value based on a special formula. You can eat any food as long as
you stay within your POINTS budget.
Since nutritious foods are low in
POINTS values, the approach guides you
to healthier eating strategies. On the Flex Plan, you will enjoy
the full range of food options—everything from your
favorite chicken marsala to an elaborate dinner buffet. It will
be easy for you to manage difficult eating occasions at home, at
work, and when you're on-the-road.

QUESTION #4: How
will TurnAround help me lose weight if I follow the Core
Plan?
The Core Plan works by focusing your eating on
a group of wholesome foods that provide eating satisfaction.
These Core Foods fill you up without empty calories and don't
trigger overeating. You will enjoy nutritious foods from all the
food groups: vegetables and fruits; grains and starches; lean
meats, poultry, fish and eggs; and milk products. Plus, you can
have the occasional treat in controlled amounts.

QUESTION #11: Do
I have to exercise on Weight Watchers?
You do not HAVE to exercise but it makes the
weight-loss journey so much easier. Study after study proves that
activity promotes weight loss when combined with improved eating
habits. More important, it's essential for keeping weight off.
Activity builds, preserves, and tones muscle tissue. What's great
about that? Muscle burns calories, which helps you lose weight
and look great.
