Weight Watchers / Slimming group

TeresW
By TeresW

Hi,

I have recently come up with the idea for another person on the forum to have a Weight Watchers group whereby individuals would initially join online and meet up once a week for the weigh in, a chat, motivation, and to share ideas. As you would be initially joining online there would be no copy write infringement. As Weight Watchers has no Franchise in the UAE this seemed rather a good idea.

Please send me a PM if you are interested.

regards,

TeresW.

I am a huge WW fan. So much of a fan that I thought having a WW franchise here in Qatar would be great. So, I tried to open one. After a long and in depth conversation with WW in the USA they informed me that Qatar is not on their list for potential franchises. They are very particular about where they open up franchises for numerous reasons.

With that being said there are no infringement rights to meet once a week, weigh in, and discuss how our week went, ideas for the new week, recipes, events, etc etc etc.

I'd be interested in the meeting as well.

Hi Hannah,

For some unknown reason the weirdo's on the site thought it was a personal invitation for more than weight loss!!

I have reported it to the moderator and hubby is non to pleased lets hope for their sake they don't meet him, as they have sent messages after searching through face books. To all you weird's get a life!!!

Naieve of me, I know to put me real name won't make the same mistake again.

I'll send you a private PM if that OK?

i think you people can take me as model...;-)"

Yes, indeed they can, Xray! :0)

TeresW, good idea for a healthy lifestyle. I'd join you except that I work 6 full days a week, so no coffee mornings for me :0(

You might want to change the name from the well-known Weight Watchers to avoid potential trouble.

"Apologies for the confusion/ error I should have stated anywhere in the Middle East. Weight Watchers only operates in a few countries."

- Even so, you will be riding on the goodwill of their brand name... unless you are an authorized agent and looking to bring the business over here? Do try not to get into trouble.

Good luck, whatever you choose to do.

Edit: Just read that you've decided not to proceed, due to other commitments.

Hi,

Thank you to all those you have genuinely shown interest but due to the lack of response and personal commitments, I have decided not to move forward with the idea.

Mallrat,

I think for the time being it will be a women only group as we women don't really like getting on those scales at the best of times let alone in front of a man...

Hi all,

Just a further update I have looked further into the site and as stated under term and conditions, it would only be possible for those who have an address within the countries stated and also hold a bank account within that country. Alternatively, are in a position to do so via someone who has the above. I am looking at it as a group venture not solely mine. as it is only an idea at this stage.

I sincerely apologies if this has caused disappointment to some ,as it was not my intention. Not my rules weight watchers.

Please take a look at the WW website

http://www.weightwatchers.com/international.aspx

I would still very much like to hear from those interested.

regards

Good luck!

Teres,

Why not plan some activities too ?

Instead of just chatting about weight loss or gain

Hi,

Apologies for the confusion/ error I should have stated anywhere in the Middle East. Weight Watchers only operates in a few countries.

Not wanting to get into a full on debate... re franchaise etc..

If anyone is interested in shedding some weight and would like to be part of a group offering encouragement and support.

Its free apart from donations toward tea and coffee meetings will be held at my house 10 minutes from land mark.

regards,

TeresW
