If you can't go to meetings (which I think is a good idea), I suggest you go on the actual WW website, then to "MyWW" and "Getting Started. " Read about each plan. In fact, read all the sections, including how to use the app. That should help you get started. In fact, I suggest you do both, especially if you are brand new to WW. If, once you get comfortable with the program you decide to go back to online only, at least you will have a good knowledge of the basics.
