Walking the Talk: SC hosts Weight Watchers at Work

March 04, 2010 | by Nancy Belusky

At high noon every Monday since mid-December, StoneArch Creative has been actively demonstrating our mission of promoting healthy initiatives by hosting a Weight Watchers at Work meeting for our employees and employees of companies in our Mill Ruins Building. For many of the participants, their efforts have been successful. 

Most people thought it was crazy to start our meetings right before the holidays, but it turned out to be an effective strategy. People were able to enjoy holiday gatherings without over-indulging, and had a head-start on their weight loss goals when New Year’s Resolution time rolled around in January.

The Weight Watchers at Work program requires a commitment of 15 participants. Weight Watchers sends a trained facilitator to run the meetings, which function like the meetings you can attend in your neighborhood. A half hour before the meeting begins, participants have a confidential weigh-in with the facilitator, and then participate in a half hour support meeting.
With spring and summer just around the corner, we’re looking forward to reinstating our Walking Group as well as the Weight Watchers program. If you’re in the StoneArch Creative neighborhood and would like to join our High Noon meetings on Mondays, contact me at nbelusky@stonearchcreative.com.
