HealthFlex has teamed up with Weight Watchers, a leading weight-management services provider, to offer you, your spouse and your covered dependent children (age 15 and older) flexible weight loss options up to 50 percent less than national corporate rates. In addition, the Nebraska Conference Board of Pension will pick the remaining cost upon proof of successful participation resulting in a net cost of $0! Maintaining an ideal weight can help you enjoy a longer and healthier life and improve your overall physical and emotional well-being. Take the step today toward a healthier lifestyle with this special offer.

If you prefer group support, choose one of the following Weight Watchers options:

1. Local Meeting Vouchers -- Attend Weight Watchers meetings in your local community. You benefit from an experienced leader and group support from fellow members.

2. At Work Meetings -- Although no United Methodist Church in Nebraska is large enough to host a workplace meeting (15 to 20 participants), there is much potential for At Work meetings in central locations in districts and clusters. You get the experienced guidance of a trained Weight Watchers leader, plus support from other pastors and/or spouses which is already your trusted support group.

If you prefer not to attend Weight Watchers meetings, choose from these two options:

3. Online Subscription -- This electronic option allows you to follow Weight Watchers step-by-step online.

4. At Home Kit, Corporate Edition -- This option offers information and resources to follow the Weight Watchers plan step-by-step at home.
