Focus on Employees
King County and the Health Matters team are proud to support Weight Watchers At Work meetings at King County worksites.
Overview
The King County Weight Watchers At Work program is a weight management program that encourages healthy eating, increased physical activity, and healthy weight management behaviors. To make participation easier for King County employees, one-hour weekly meetings are held at King County worksites. Each meeting is facilitated by a Weight Watchers-trained leader.
Testimonials
The King County Weight Watchers At Work program began in March of 2006 and has been positively embraced by employees.
Below are a couple of the many testimonials we've received about the Weight Watchers at Work program.
"Family and work fill my time, making it hard to get to a neighborhood WW meeting. With WW at Work, the meetings come to me! I’ve been more conscientious about my eating and I’m almost at my weight goal!"
M.S.“Of all the so-called "diets" out there, this is one that is recommended by both physicians and Healthy Incentives℠. It really helps to have a group to share weight-loss tips with -- as well as pitfalls -- on your way to weight loss. Also, the group is a great morale booster for when you do lose weight!”
