About Weight Watchers

Weight Watchers is America's trusted name in weight loss
Weight Watchers.com has always believed that dieting is just one part of long-term weight management. A healthy body results from a healthy lifestyle - which means mental, emotional and physical health. Weight Watchers does not tell you what you can or cannot eat. Instead, Weight Watchers provides information, knowledge, tools and motivation to help you make the nutrition and exercise decisions that are right for you. They help you to make healthy eating decisions, and they encourage you to enjoy yourself by becoming more active.

You don't need to buy special Weight Watchers food like you have to with Nutri System or Jenny Craig.

At Weight Watchers, weight management is a partnership that combines their knowledge with your efforts. And trust us, your efforts will pay off!

Weight Watchers will help you on your journey by:
•  Guiding you to make positive behavioral changes in your life.

History
In the early 60's, Weight Watchers founder Jean Nidetch began inviting friends into her Queens home once a week, to discuss how best to lose weight.

Today, that group of friends has grown to millions of women and men around the world who use the products and services of Weight Watchers to lose unwanted pounds.

After that first Queens meeting, an estimated one million people, from Brazil to New Zealand , come together each week to help each meet their weight-loss goals at Weight Watchers Meetings. And now, Weight Watchers is reaching others via the Web at WeightWatchers.com.
