I signed up last year at my local mall. I waited in line for over four hours, and I was still about the 100th person in line. By the time they started weighing people and signing them up, the line wrapped all through the mall. It was a madhouse. They had some celebrities there like Pro-Basketball players, who were giving out samples of deodorant and things like that. Once we were signed in, we were given a slip of paper giving us the ability to go to six or seven stations....one for a free massage, one to have your body digitally morphed into a picture of what you would look like at or near your goal weight (this was neat!), etc.

After the visits to the stations, you could walk down to the Discovery Store in the mall and pick up your "Intro packet", which had a nice binder where you could record your progresses, journal about your thoughts, record food eaten, etc. Some other little goodies in there too like lip balm with a rope on it so you could wear it while exercising, a water bottle, etc.

There was also a 3 month free membership at Bally's included. I'm not sure if they give you all these things if you sign up online, though.

This year, I will sign up online just to avoid the wait in that line. I had my five year old son with me, and the poor little guy was just so bored. LOL!

Good Luck!

WOW! That seemed like a cool thing to do....I don't think they have ever done anything like that at one of the Houston Malls, here in Texas....3 free months of an exercise gym?
