Cache Valley holds Weight Watchers meeting three times a week at the Bridgerland Technology Center in Logan and has about 250 members, according to Turner. Also, if a person becomes a lifetime member, he or she is asked to weigh-in once a month or more often. A lifetime member is a person who has reached his or her goal weight and kept it off for six weeks. The lifetime fee can be free if members stay within two pounds of their goal weight. Meetings for first-time members include an overview of the Weight Watchers plan and how it works.
Literature is given on how the point system works and the point values for food.
Also, at every meeting members must weigh-in. Members have to weigh so that the leader can chart their progress of weight loss. Turner said that she could write a book on all the comments she hears at the weigh-in. However, Turner said that sometimes people can't wait to get on the scales because they have had such a good week. Smith, who said she is a very private person, said that the weigh-in at the meeting is private and professional.
