Research shows that people who attend the greatest number of Weight Watchers meetings have the greatest weight loss success'.
At Weight Watchers this comes as no surprise. Being part of a supportive group is one of the founding principals of our proven weight loss approach.
Weight Watchers began life as a small group of friends meeting in a kitchen in the early 1960’s to talk about their weight loss. 50 years on from that very first meeting, times have changed and technology has changed - but the power of connecting with others on their weight loss journey is as strong as ever. Even with the internet, mobile phones, chat rooms and so many more ways to stay in touch, we know that nothing truly replaces that one to one weigh-in each week with a Weight Watchers Leader. They are not only experts in the plan but know what it’s like to lose weight with Weight Watchers and achieve their weight goals. They ensure each week’s meeting is a place of celebration, inspiration and motivation.

What happens at our meetings?
- Each week’s meeting starts with that moment of truth - your own private and confidential weigh-in
- However much you want to lose, your Leader will work with you to set small and realistic goals to get you there one step-at-a-time
- As part of your meetings membership, you’ll receive a ProPoints plan folder containing all the basics of the Weight Watchers approach. Week by week you can add to this with a free, meeting supplement called Your Week which provides lots of new weight loss articles and tips along with plenty of food and recipe ideas.
- After the weigh-in, there’s the opportunity to discuss the real-life issues you face with your weight loss. Facilitated by your Leader, you get the chance in this part of the meeting to learn more about the plan, how to flex it around your life and share stories, tips, successes and challenges with other members.
What happens between meetings?
- You can contact your Leader, usually by email or by phone, between meetings if you have any questions about the plan
- If you join your meeting with our Monthly Pass option you automatically get access to eSource, the online companion to meetings. The website provides you with a range of interactive tracking tools, thousands of delicious recipes, success stories and lots more.
- Our online community is open to everyone where you can tap into the motivation and friendship of other members all over the country.
- Many Weight Watchers Leaders also have their own Facebook groups where all their members can stay in touch between meetings.
