Raising Maine

Jackie Conn has been the general manager of Weight Watchers of Maine since August 1995. As GM Jackie has had the opportunity to eat breakfast with the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson and the former Surgeon General, David Satcher. Her position has given her access to experts considered to be the world's leading authorities in the fields of weight management, human nutrition science, exercise physiology, and behavioral management. She loves to share her weight management experiences, insight and knowledge with people with similar goals.

She is dedicated to fighting the myths that persist about food, exercise and weight management. Limiting beliefs are the primary reason that people are having a difficult time maintaining healthy weights. If she could impart one nugget of wisdom to help people discover lasting weight control it would be: weight is a symptom of your thinking. Food isn't fattening, but your thinking might be!
