Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) I te whakakotahitanga o te kai hauora me te tautoko ā-hinengaro, ka noho a Jean Nidetch hei tino taumaha i roto i te umanga whakaheke taumaha. I mate te kaiwhakarewa o Weight Watchers i te Wenerei i tōna kāinga i Florida. E 91 ōna tau. Ko te mea ka riro ko Weight Watchers i tiimata mai i te roopu hoa e hui ana i tana ruuma noho i Queens, New York, i te 1961. I whakaahua a Nidetch i a ia ano he "wahine nui rawa atu e hiahia ana ki nga pihikete". I muri i te maha o nga kai reka, i whakaaro a Nidetch ko te kawenga te mea nui hei pupuri i te taumaha. I taua wā, 38 ōna tau, neke atu i te 200 pauna te taumaha. Ko tana whakaaro arataki: "Ko te kōwhiringa - ehara i te tupono - e whakatau ana i tō tūponotanga". Mā te hōtaka o ngā taumahatanga auau, te tautoko a ngā hoa, me te kawenga, kāore a Nidetch i ngaro noa i te 72 pauna, engari i whakaaweawe ia i ētahi atu miriona kia ngaro hoki i te pauna. I whakarewahia e ia a Weight Watchers i te tau 1963 a i kawea e ia te kamupene i muri i nga tau e rima. "He mea whakaaweawe a Jean, he kaihanga hou hoki, e waiho ana i muri i a ia he taonga tuku iho me te kaupapa kua whai hua ki te hauora me te oranga o nga miriona taangata puta noa i te ao", e kii ana a Jim Chambers, te perehitini me te Tumuaki o Weight Watchers International. "He honore, he kawenga hoki mātau ki te kawe i tōna taonga tuku iho ki te āwhina i ētahi atu tāngata ki te huri i ō rātou oranga".
