NEW YORK, Jan. 13, 2011 // PRNewswire // -- Weight Watchers, the world's leading provider of weight management services, has teamed up with Fashion Consultant Tim Gunn, to inspire people on their weight loss journey. In addition to providing fashion tips for the many stages of weight loss, Tim also served as a fashion consultant for the new Weight Watchers PointsPlus™ program advertising campaign featuring Jennifer Hudson and real life Weight Watchers success stories. During 2011 there will be other exciting opportunities for Weight Watchers members and Weight Watchers Online subscribers to benefit from Tim's tips and motivation to ultimately feel better about how they look.
In addition to improving their health, Weight Watchers often hears from its meeting Leaders, meetings members and Online subscribers that other significant reasons people want to lose weight are to look their best, feel more comfortable in their clothes and to look better in photos.
"As people lose weight, they gain a new self confidence and are more adventurous in making fashion choices," said Cheryl Callan, Chief Marketing Officer, Weight Watchers. "People who experience successful weight loss begin to have more fun getting dressed every day and are often inspired to continue losing weight and being healthy."
As a well-known authority on fashion, Tim Gunn, author of The New York Times Best Seller "Gunn's Golden Rules: Life's Little Lessons for Making It Work," is providing his expert tips to help women and men realize that looking good each and every day is within reach no matter what size or stage of weight loss. Here are some of Tim's top style tips:
"I am so proud to be working with Weight Watchers on this extraordinary project and was so inspired by the stories of wonderful success. Nothing makes me happier than providing guidance and tips to help people look great as they lose weight and get healthier," said Tim Gunn. "If getting fashion right were easy, everyone would look fabulous, but it can be challenging. The combination of the PointsPlus program and providing helpful styling tips is great because it helps people celebrate their new look and recalibrate their thinking about style, while finding an enhanced self-confidence."
