In six years Weight Watchers of Eastern Pennsylvania have lost more than half a million pounds of fat, 112, 938 pounds of it in the Wilkes-Barre area which includes the Back Mountain, Nanticoke, West Pittston, Kingston, and Wilkes- Barre. The person primarily responsible for this ac- complishment is Arnee Brooks, director of Eastern Penn- sylvania franchise for Weight Watchers Inc. Mr. Brooks established his first class April 13, 1966, at the Jewish Community Center in Easton. Since then, he and his wife Pearl have built the organization to 73 classes, covering Carbon, Lackawanna, Lehigh, Luzerne, Monroe, Northampton, Pike and Wayne counties. St. Therese's Site Of Annual Supper The annual covered dish dinner of St. Therese’s Altar and ‘Rosary Society was held recently in the church auditor- ium. Following the dinner a fashion ‘show was held with Society members doing double duty as models They modeled clothing they had made them- selves. ik Articles for the migrant workers are still being collect- ed. Anyone wishing to donate usable bedding or towels are asked to contact Mrs. Robert Yarashus. Reservations for the ‘Pocono Playhouse trip to see‘‘The Merry Widow’ can be made after Masses or by phoning Mrs. Thomas Ochman, Mrs. John Luke, Mrs. Chester Molly or Mrs. Gustoff Walgren. Follow- ing the play, dinner will be served at the Sportsman’s Club. Mr. Brooks disclaims per- sonal credit for the weight losses of his members. I helped them, but they lost the weight, they did the work,’”’ he declared. Mr. Brooks was quick to emphasize that Weight Wat- chers is ‘‘an entire eating program as opposed to a diet.” The difference? On a diet you starve. On the Weight Wat- chers’ program you are never hungry. The program educates people to new eating habits. “We not only want our mem- bers to lose weight, we want to keep them down permanently,” Mr. Brooks says. “Fach member is given a goal to which he or she is sup- posed to reduce,’”” Mr. Brooks explained. Each person attends a weekly class where a lecturer, a successful Weight Watcher, helps him to achieve success. The class is divided into three sections; weigh-in, a forceful pep talk and a discussion period where each member’s weight loss, carefully tabulated on his own report card, is discussed. Only the weight gain or loss becomes a classroom topic-- actual weight is never men- tioned. Mr. Brooks says there are “a thousand and one’’ reasons why people join Weight Watchers classes. ‘‘One Wilkes-Barre fellow told me he was tired of coming into a room and having his stomach arrive 10 minutes before he did.” Mr. Brooks himself is a former “fatso.” He weighed 240 pounds on Labor Day of 1965. Seven months later, after taking a Weight Watchers course in Brooklyn, he had lost 74 pounds. His wife, herself a graduate of Weight Watchers, has come down from a size 14 to a size eight. They were so im- pressed with their own success on the Weight Watchers program that they decided to June 22-24 on Route 309. June 23 June 24-July 8 Tannersville. July 1-4 re purchase a franchise so they could help other overweight people. "The international organization was founded. by former 214-pound Jean Nidetch. She lost 72 pounds as a Weight Watcher and has kept it off for the last nine years. The Weight Watcher program uses the newest, most advanced nutrition, food values, and facts on how the body ‘handles’ food. Weight Watchers team of medical personnel and nutritionists has developed a nutritionally sound diet that helps one reach the desired weight and maintain it. The program enjoys the endorsement of most doctors. One of the suggestions offered an enrollee at the first class is to consult a personal physician in regard to the Weight Watchers diet. Mr. Brooks cites the fact that Weight Watchers does not feature dietetic foods. In fact the organization favors non- skimpy meals. For example, a normal Weight Watchers dinner includes shrimp or broiled chicken, carrots and peas, mixed green salad, margarine, fresh. fruit, eight ounces skim milk, coffee. The program also insists on two slices of bread per day, three fruits and five fish meals per week. “Many overwwight people like to think their problem is glandular. You'd be surprised how few people really would fall into that category. Obesity is usually a case of lack of self ‘control,”” Mr. Brooks com- mented. As far as limiting the imagination in preparation of meals, Mr. Brooks declares, “The Weight Watchers program doesn’t limit a cook’s imagination. The only thing it limits is a waist line.” July 7-9 corner. August 4-6 Mrs. Crist wore brimmed picture hats in matching colors and carried a single long-stemmed pink rose.
