Our scientifi c approach to weight management is highlight-
ed in “The Science Center.” This is a free resource where
consumers can access from our Web site the latest weight
loss studies and gain a practical understanding of the sci-
ence behind weight loss. If you haven’t already visited the
Science Center, I would strongly encourage you to do so.
It is our scientifi c foundation that gives our members and
subscribers the tools and knowledge to tackle the problem
of obesity and weight control.
We have a proven approach that works year-in and year-
out. In 2006 and beyond, we will continue to capitalize on
the various opportunities before us through innovative pro-
grams, enhancements to the member and subscriber expe-
riences, newly licensed products and aggressive marketing
strategies.
With the continued strengthening of the North American
market, we fully expect 2006 attendance growth to increase
over 2005. Further, even with its impressive performance this
year, WeightWatchers.com is still in an early stage of growth.
We will continue to target this important and largely un-
tapped online market in the years ahead.
Weight Watchers is a great organization. We are the clear
market leader with tremendous brand equity, strong cus-
tomer satisfaction and loyalty, and extremely dedicated staff.
Building on the success of individuals like Audrey, Andrew
and Christina, we have never been more confi dent about
our future.
Sincerely,
Linda Huett
President and
Chief Executive Offi cer
