New session of Weight Watchers at Work to begin today

May 16, 2011

WorkLife Programs is offering a new session of Weight Watchers at Work, to be held from 12:10 to 12:50 p.m. on Mondays in Stewart Center, Room 320, beginning today and running through Aug. 15.
  
For those looking either to achieve significant, long-term weight loss or just trying to shed a few pounds, Weight Watchers at Work can help effect a lifestyle change to assist with that goal.
  
If a participant's Body Mass Index (BMI) is over 25, WorkLife Programs will pay for half of the $144 class fee if participants attend 11 of 12 meetings. Participants are eligible for only two of these incentive rounds in their lifetime.

In addition to the in-person classes, WorkLife Programs also has a variety of weight management resources available through its online resource center. From books such as "Stealth Health" to brochures like Eating Out and Eating Healthy, there are materials available to support and supplement your nutrition and weight management activities.

Some items are sent directly via campus mail, some must be picked up at the WorkLife Programs office at 1402 W. State St., and others are available for immediate download. Materials may only be sent via campus mail; therefore, spouses/same-sex domestic partners and retirees are not able to check materials out.
