Weight Watchers - Meeting and Sign Up Questions (Ontario, Canada)

Im looking at the website and it says for 5 weeks in my area, it costs $99, or for students $89, does this include all your materials (books, tracker etc.) also would I qualify as a student? I'm 20, and I'm still working on 2 high school courses (I just finished 6, I start the last 2 in September) and I'm doing them online through the school board program AMDEC (so it is official through the school, I still get a real diploma etc.)

Also, after the 5 weeks, if I want to continue how do I continue to pay? Can I pay per week at the meetings, or will I need to pay for another 5 weeks or more up front? If I don't plan on going back to meetings and plan to continue on my own, do I get to keep the materials (books, etc.)

Thanks.

Also what all do you get, what books, materials etc.???

First off, I'm not sure how they decide when your not a student, so I can't help there. But, that $99 is one of many offers they have out. You don't have to sign up for 5 weeks, you can go to a meeting and join there and pay weekly. The joining fee is $25, and the non-student fee is $16 a week. The $99 offer saves you $6 over 5 weeks. I pay weekly, but I have a friend who buys 12 weeks worth of coupons at a time. Buying coupons saves a bit of money in the long run and for many ladies helps them to stay committed for that period of time.

When you join the first week you get a points calculator, and a booklet loaded with information (food lists, information on core/flex etc). I think at week 3 you get the points booster calculator, and for the first 8-10 weeks there are different handouts you receive.

I hope I've helped a bit. Good luck.

When you sign up do you get the dining out guide and food companion books and the weekly tracker to track your points, or do they make you wait for that?

The dining out guide and the food companion are extra. If I were to choose one over the other, I would pick up the dining guide. I have the food companion, but in all honesty you can just as easily figure out the points values with the nutritional information on food packaging. I wish I had the dining out guide, and might still purchase one just to carry in my purse.

Food trackers are free, available at meetings. Or, you can buy a 12 week tracker.
