Since its inception over 40 years ago, Weight Watchers^® has taught millions of members how to lose weight. Currently, over one million members attend one of over 46,000 weekly Weight Watchers meetings in 30 countries worldwide.

The Weight Watchers program is designed to promote a healthy rate of weight loss, up to 2 pounds a week after the first three weeks or up to 1% of body weight per week after the second week. Rapid weight loss may cause serious health problems. The rate of weight loss varies among people. Individual factors, including age, gender, and current weight, affect the rate of weight loss. In addition, you largely control your rate of weight loss by how carefully you follow the Program. Therefore, how long it will take you to reach your weight-loss goals is largely determined by you.

Receptionists have also lost weight and maintained their weight loss by following the Weight Watchers program. They complete a training program that includes learning how to serve members in a confidential manner. They also participate in regular training throughout the year.

Weight Watchers was brought to our area by Dic and Dorsey Trentman, in August of 1969. The Trentmans had been living in Texas, when Dic, a successful businessman who was fighting a weight problem, discovered Weight Watchers. He lost 69 pounds and felt better than he had in years. As a result of this success, Dic made the life-altering decision to dedicate his life to helping others achieve the same success. He applied for and was granted the franchise for Utah and Southern Idaho. In the Mid 80's, Dic retired, turning the franchise over to his two sons, Ric and John Trentman, who are now the directors.
