Weight Watchers FAQ

How much does the program cost?
The cost is $180.00 per 15-week session (Rice will subsidize ½ the cost of the program, so your cost is $90). Our member fees can be paid using our split payment option to ease family finances. We accept personal checks, cash, Visa and MasterCard. If paying by credit card, the split payment option is not available.

When are the fees due?
The full fee, either one check for the full amount, or 3 checks of $30.00 each or credit card information must be collected from all members by Rice at least one full week prior to the scheduled start of the meeting series.

When are the meetings held?
The meetings will be in the 2nd Floor Conference Room of the RMC/Ley Student Center on Mondays starting on March 14th at 11:30 am – weigh-in will start at 11:15 am. The program is a 15-week program – because of the Memorial Day holiday, the last session is Monday, June 27th.

Who can join the group?
Any employee, who has a minimum of 5 pounds to lose, according to our weight goal chart, may join the At Work Program series. A person who is already a member of a traditional Weight Watchers meeting may join the At Work Program. Lifetime members over goal are also welcome to join the At Work Program. Lifetime Membership # must be submitted with registration form. Lifetime members who are at goal are very welcome to attend the series at no charge.

What if I have prepaid in a Traditional meeting?
Your pre-payment amount will be credited toward the series fee as long as it has not expired. The most common option is the 10-week $99.00 option. Each coupon will be credited as $9.90 toward the fee. Weight Watchers also offers a seasonal 17-week savings plan. The remaining weeks credited toward the series fee as $9.00 per week. The member must turn in the remaining coupons or the saving plan card along with full payment for the balance of the fee.

How is the weigh in handled?
The weigh in is completely confidential. The scale has a digital read out that no one but the Weight Watchers staff can see. We will not disclose your personal information, at any time, to the other members or to Rice.
