About Us
Since its inception over 40 years ago, Weight Watchers® has taught millions of members how to lose weight. Currently, over one million members attend one of over 46,000 weekly Weight Watchers meetings in 30 countries worldwide.
The Weight Watchers Program
The Weight Watchers program is designed to promote a healthy rate of weight loss, up to 2 pounds a week after the first three weeks or up to 1% of body weight per week after the second week. Rapid weight loss may cause serious health problems. The rate of weight loss varies among people. Individual factors, including age, gender, and current weight, affect the rate of weight loss. In addition, you largely control your rate of weight loss by how carefully you follow the Program. Therefore, how long it will take you to reach your weight-loss goals is largely determined by you.
The cost of the Weight Watchers program is limited to the membership fees. Weight Watchers does not require members to sign any contracts upon joining. Members are not required to purchase Weight Watchers products, either those sold at the meetings or in grocery or other retail stores.
Meeting Service Providers
All Weight Watchers leaders are role models because they’ve lost weight on the Weight Watchers program. Before becoming leaders, they complete a training program to ensure their understanding of the Program and to learn their responsibilities as a leader.
Receptionists have also lost weight and maintained their weight loss by following the Weight Watchers program. They complete a training program that includes learning how to serve members in a confidential manner. They also participate in regular training throughout the year.
At Weight Watchers, staff members know how you feel regarding weight issue because they’ve been through the same challenges.
