Could you please tell me registration fee (approx) ?  There is a meeting in one
hour (its 9am central) and if I have the cash I'm going to run in and get the
materials.  I know the meeting fee, I just need to know how much to join.

Thank you very much! :D

I *think* it is $20. Well worth it for getting the materials plus hearing
the leader explain the program. Stay for the meeting as they do the new
members talk and handing out of materials after the regular meeting.

bummer. I think ours is closed today too. My meeting is tomorrow. Just hope
any weight I gained from yesterday's meal  is gone tomorrow morning.

Meeting closures are the normal for this time of year - lots of folks don't
want to even think about their weight in November and December.  Come
January all meetings are usually full and new (previously closed) meetings
will be added.

The website www.weightwatchers.com will always have the absolute latest info
about meeting time and places.  Do a search using your ZIP code and see
what's available.

Thanks.  I'll be heading back at 6am for the early meeting tomorrow.  I know my
weigh in will be a disaster, I have a broken leg and a rather heavy cast on.
Should make for a nice loss in a few weeks though.  :)

6am? And I thought my 7am meeting was early.

Don't worry about the WI due to the cast. What counts is that you get the
materials and can start the program. You might find that you like the
meetings and can come up with the money to attend them.
Miss Violette - 26 Nov 2004 20:03 GMT
that would make it easier to go without food until you did WI, Lee

Very easy. I get up at 6:30am, hop in the shower and am out the door by
6:50. On the way to the meeting I stop at Dunkin Donuts for coffee (drive
thru window). I sometimes take some fruit or a smoothie with me to have with
my coffee after WI.

The hard part is the night before as we tend to call out Friday nights.
Tonight we are doing mexican. I am ordering their tilipia (yummy).

You are so cool to not change your fun stuff, I think it is a true mark of
success that you didn't change this Friday night family time to accommodate
but you changed what you order, that is just too cool, Lee

Thanks. Like you alway say, don't change something that you can't live with
for the rest of your life. Friday night take out is part of our routine. I
did change DH's original suggestion from Chinese to Mexican so that I could
have the fish. Very spicy, very yummy. I did get some quacomole that I have
saved for lunch tomorrow.

And tonight they did the right amount of spice. I like tasting the fish and
not having my mouth on fire because they used too much garlic.

We're closed here in California.. I don't know about the rest of the US..
We're open tomorrow though..

Joining fee here is 15$ (plus meeting fee 9.95$) If you have an Health
inssurance ask them if they run the health inssurance promotion..
(Franchises might not) if you got the right one they'll waive the joining
cost (15$ here)

I know Kaiser and Blue Shield are on the list.. there's tons of others..

I did NOT say this...

you would think WW would promote the fact that they do the work with
insurance, it would seem like it would get them more members, Lee

yeah but it's less money.. besides. if they do a deal with the inssurance
company.. but don't offer it to the member (we are supposed to wait for the
members to ask) then maybe they get the publicity and still get the 15$...

That's why we just kinda mention it without having ever said a word..

Boy am I talkative today..

I hear the receptionists ask in our meetings all the time when someone is
joining if they have  a certain medical plan, since they can waive the
joining fee and only charge the meeting fee.  Also, there is a discount on
the starter kit with some insurance plans.

Wow! what a difference one coast to another is: Ours is $20 to join plus $12
NJ or $13 MA per meeting.

Deb in Northern California - 27 Nov 2004 09:46 GMT
Where I live in the central valley of California it is $10.95/meeting and
where my daughter goes to school on the Monterey coast it is $9.95/meeting.
Sometimes I am tempted to have her buy my 10 week coupons to save another
$10 over the meeting costs, as my center will take any of the coupons.

Our leader said today that some of the areas that currently charge 9.95 will
see a price increase in January. We won't be impacted ourselves as we are
already pretty high in price.

I was surprised to hear that the prices vary across the country by so much.
I can understand the different price in MA as they used to be part of
Fiore's Franchise until sometime last fall and could charge anything they
want to. But I would have expected the storefronts that are part of WW
International to be all priced the same.

I'm just surprised that they are on the cheaper side in California.. since
everything cost so much around here... guess the rich people get a
consultant and a trainer instead of joining WW.. or something..
