With the change of seasons, now is an excellent time to focus a change of habits to support a healthy lifestyle. To help people succeed, Weight Watchers is offering a new program. The new Weight Watchers® MomentumTM program provides resources for people to understand and address the practical and emotional issues that can lead to weight gain. With strategies to conquer hunger and the ability to tailor the plan to fit into one’s own life, MomentumTM provides people with more tools and resources to succeed in adopting a healthier lifestyle. Weight Watchers is opening new locations, including a brand new meeting in Zachary. Beginning August 4, meetings will be held every Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. at Zachary Fennwood Hills Country Club, 6003 Fennwood Drive.

Selwyn Blouin and Rachel Ehricht will be leading meetings at the Zachary location. They, like all of WW leaders, lost weight following the Weight Watchers program. Their weight loss allows them to truly understand the challenges and celebrations members are experiencing. “Members learn how to make satisfying food choices and listen to hunger signals,” says Blouin and Ehricht. “I really saw the benefits of tracking and journaling first hand during my weight loss.”

When Zachary area residents come to Weight Watchers they will see that the program is not a diet, it’s a lifestyle change that offers tools, group support, food and activity plans that are livable and effective. At Weight Watchers meetings, people come together with a common goal – to learn how to successfully lose weight. Meetings are an important part of how Weight Watchers helps members reach their goals; in fact, people who attend meetings lose three times more weight than those who try to lose weight on their own.

“We are excited to offer Zachary area residents this new location and the new MomentumTM program,” explains Margie Moore, Territory Manager, Weight Watchers. “It is our intention to offer people of this and all communities a convenient place to help people reach their weight-loss goals. Our program continues to evolve and energize members to lose weight and keep it off long term.”

Weight Watchers meetings last approximately 35 minutes. We recommend that our members attend one meeting each week to learn about healthy eating, gain motivation and have their confidential weigh-in to track their progress. The public is also welcome to “Be Our Guest” at a participating Weight Watchers meeting with no obligation to join, just to see what it is all about. Program materials are not included.
