From Carolyn Harty:

I joined Weight Watchers in 1971 because as a teenager and young adolescent I could not lose weight and tried every diet. 

After getting to my goal weight in 1983, I became a Weight Watcher Leader doing one meeting a week. Then as the years went by, I was asked to do more – ending up with 13 meeting a week! It kept me busy but also motivated.

When Weight Watchers closed almost all their meetings during the pandemic in 2021, I was laid off. I then started my own group Healthy Lifestyles to keep my current members motivated. I found locations that I could use for weekly get-togethers and still have 3 ongoing meetings weekly.

Healthy Lifestyles is a group formed to promote healthy living through shared discussion and education. Participants explore diet, exercise, sleep, stress, mental health, and all aspects of personal wellness that contributes to healthy living.
