Dieters shed pounds and dollars
By CECILIA MILLS
KU students who gained weight over Christmas are starting now – in more than one way – in nav for it
Monica Hunn, a Lawrence junior who "put on about five to eight pounds over Christmas and didn't even pig out," said the cost of her weight loss program would keep her honest.

"I know it's their money I'd be blowing and not mine," Hunn said. "Cathy Kessinger, a counselor at the Diet Center, said the cost of the program worked as an incentive for them to get more people in center paid a one-time registration fee of $50, plus $38.95 every week for daily counseling and weighing in.
Although Hunn's parents are paying for her to go to The Diet Center, 935 Iowa St., she said she would feel guilty if she wasted their money.
most ANYTHING YOU have to pay for you're going to work harder
rricia Fritts, Prairie Village sophomore, agreed. She lost 15 pounds at the Nutri-System Weight Loss Medical Center, 23rd street and Ousdahl
"It's the paying for it. That's what it takes." she said.
Laura Thompson and her roommate Karen Rogers, both Wichita juniors, spent $75 for diet food in their apartment. Watchers Quick Start Program
"At altogether it cost about $600 to join / $110 for the physical and then $50 for food a week, on the average." Fritts said.
But Hunn, Thompson, and Rogers have other reasons to stick to their diets.
Hunn's parents have promised to give her $2,500 if she can lose 35 pounds and keep it off until May 1986. Jenkins plans to use the money to buy a car.
SHE IS ALSO looking ahead to summer job prospects.
"Your appearance can make the difference, I found out. Businesses will discriminate against a person who is fat the same as they might for being black or being a woman," Hunn said.
"I'm looking to summer. I want to be around the pool and look good," she said.
Thompson is dieting with warmer weather and skimpier clothes in mind.
Kessinger said about 17 KU students had joined The Diet Center since the New Year. Terry Aldridge, the sales manager at Nutri-System, and Joey Benson, who joined the program since Jan. 1, and most of them were students.
