How much do they educate you about fitness in the program? How much of the program is centered around weight? What other metrics does WW use to gauge fitness?
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!
