Women You’ll Encounter at Every Weight Watchers Meeting

Get Pregnant Fast

Stepping into a Weight Watchers meeting feels oddly familiar, almost like returning home. It’s a little sad, really. My grandmother was a member, my mother has been, and even aunts and cousins have joined the ranks. It seems to run in the family. Just last week, as I walked through those doors again to tackle the baby weight that stubbornly clings to me, I was struck by how every meeting is a blend of the same unique personalities. Regardless of the location, the year, or the specific program, you can count on encountering these familiar figures:

1. The quirky attendee who braves freezing temperatures in spandex shorts and a bare tank top, no accessories in sight.
2. The determined bride-to-be, resolute on fitting into her wedding gown—only to see those hard-earned pounds creep back.
3. The overwhelmed new mom, juggling a wailing baby, smelling of spit-up and wearing milk-stained clothes.
4. The eager newcomer who dives headfirst into the experience, purchasing scales, cookbooks, and a mountain of Two Point Bars, often nibbling on them during the meeting.
5. The larger woman who hasn’t shed a pound but dominates the conversation with unsolicited “advice.”
6. The attractive young woman obsessed with dropping the last five pounds to fit into her designer size 2 jeans.
7. The boisterous group of older ladies, each with decades of weight struggles behind them, who seem to have imaginary plaques reserved for their front-row seats.
8. The loud middle-aged participant who calls out every minor success to collect as many cheap gold stars as possible.
9. The mom with her pre-teen daughter, caught between feelings of gratitude and sheer embarrassment.
10. The solitary man who enters feeling out of place, believing a dressing room at a women’s store would be even less welcoming.

And there I am. Yet again.
