Thanks.
Each meeting is centered around a different topic. I'd say in the 9 months I've been going we've talked about fitness at least once a month, whether it's the topic of the night or not. The leader almost always asks if anyone did anything this week to move more. She encourages each member to begin a fitness program and brings new fitness ideas to our attention.

I'd say that the major goal with WW is weight. I also take my measurements each month, but that's something I've done for years now. I keep track on a site I belong to so I know how many inches I've lost.

I've also kept track of my BMI on my own. I do wish that was something that they regularly encouraged you to do. My BMI has gone from 34.0 to 26.3 since last July. Almost to the healthy zone!
