Weight Watchers At Work
THE POWER OF GROUP SUPPORT AND
THE CONVENIENCE OF WORKSITE MEETINGS
Research shows that people
who attend Weight Watchers® meetings lose three times
more weight than people dieting on their own. With
the majority of Americans spending the bulk of their day on
the job, the workplace is an ideal setting for employees to
learn how to live a healthy lifestyle.
Having meetings right where you work is a great help. A Weight Watchers leader comes to your workplace to
provide experienced guidance at weekly meetings that fit perfectly into the busy workday. In addition, you’ll benefit from the support and
encouragement of co-workers you meet and work with every day. It’s a total team effort that can lead to very
satisfying results.
Weight Watchers at Work now offers Monthly Pass!
Meetings are every Thursday from 12:20 to 12:45 p.m. at Marquette University. (Weigh-ins at Noon and 12:45 p.m.)
The Weight Watchers At Work program will now give you more flexibility and value by offering you a Monthly Pass! By purchasing a monthly pass for $42.95 per month, you can attend meetings at work and locally, plus get FREE eTools. It’s also half off for the first month for Marquette employees.

Lifetime members within two pounds of their goal are still free.
