For those who have been struggling to keep the weight off this summer, the Village of Islandia will have its "Weight Watchers at Work" meetings every Tuesday at 5:45 p.m. at Village Hall, located at 1100 Old Nichols Road. Each session is 12 weeks, with the next session beginning on September 8. New registrants may arrive at 5 p.m., while all other members may arrive between 5:15 p.m. and 5:40 p.m. for weigh-in.

 

At these meetings, people will learn to get in shape while eating healthy. Village residents are welcome to bring a friend or neighbor while being in the comforts of Village Hall. The cost of the program is $144, or $12 per week and must be prepaid.

 

The current group has had great success with the program, losing a collective 138.6 pounds in the first 10 weeks. "We are proud to offer this program as a community service to our residents," said Allan Dorman, Mayor, Village of Islandia. "We feel it is important to have these programs as a way to encourage our residents to participate in an active, healthy lifestyle."
