Trying to lose weight? Consider giving Weight Watchers a try. The Weight Watchers At Work program is available to North Shore Bank employees at Corporate and at our branches, and if you sign up by tomorrow, June 9, you’ll save 15 percent on the next 12-week session.

Priscilla this week.

Senior commercial loan specialist Priscilla Hartling is a Weight Watchers At Work success story. She spoke briefly with Shorelines about the program.

How much weight have you lost?
50 pounds since I joined in November 2010.

Why did you start doing Weight Watchers?
I was just completely unhappy with how I looked.

Priscilla before losing the weight.

Why has it worked for you?
It has taught me to make better choices and watch my portion sizes. If I do want ice cream — my weakness — it’s OK. I just don’t eat the whole pint!

Priscilla adds: “It is a great program, and it really does work — it took me over six years to lose 50 pounds, but that is 50 pounds gone! The program not only helps you lose the weight, it also gives you the tools and know-how to keep it off. If you want it, just do it!”

If you are at Corporate, there’s a free meeting at 11 a.m. tomorrow in the Lower Level Lounge where you can learn more. More information here. You can contact corporate receptionist Nancy Hanson at nhanson@northshorebank.com if you have any questions.
