Question

What are your thoughts on the virtual meetings? I actually canceled my membership for a while but reconsidering.  

Answer 1

I don’t have the virtual meetings. I’m online only. My two cents for what it’s worth is. whether you do a virtual meeting or not, the decision to put food and drink into our mouths is totally and completely up to us. Reset and remember that there isn’t much we can control right now, but we can control what we put into our bodies!  

Comments

@twosided6392 I am online only also and joined a virtual meeting you can you im sure.  

---

@counterpane thanks. I’m really not interested in a virtual meeting. I’ve been reading posts of people ready to quit because they don’t like the virtual meetings and my point was that with or without the meeting, the decision to follow the program is completely up to each individual!  

Answer 2

I love them - so convenient. I hope we still have that option when things return to “normal. ”

Comments

I totally agree! I have a great meeting leader, but b/c of my son’s sports I often have to weigh in and leave. I would love to be able to even just listen. Or if home sick etc.  

Answer 3

I am thinking the same thing, I pay extra for the meetings, yet this isnt what I signed up for

Comments

@preferential hate the virtual meeting too

---

@preferential I agree! I am afraid they will decide to keep them as opposed to actual meetings.  

Answer 4

I think it’s better than nothing. it also depends on your leader. I enjoy it better in person. but my leader is doing a good job.  

Comments

The only other option is to quit during the quarantine. and is that actually a better option?  

---

@mallett @phenothiazine91 really not quitting, since i know the plan and would still follow it, just while not paying extra for a lesser service

---

@mallett @phenothiazine91 that’s what I am doing right now.  

Answer 5

I agree

Answer 6

I was doing it with the support of friends and this, along with a few other, weight watchers pages. I’m continuing with that & find the app to be very valuable

Answer 7

I attempted to cancel and was offered 2 free months so I’m hanging in there

Comments

@conflagrant I was also given 2 free months when I complained!  

---

@conflagrant - I called and got one month  

---

@orpine I only got one month too  

---

@conflagrant I didn’t get anything.  

---

@mallett you can say you’re cancelling because you can’t afford it because of covid

---

@conflagrant I didn’t get anything. Thought I would go back but not now. I’m a firm believer if you do it for one you do it for all.  

---

@spinoza if only multimillion dollar corporations thought that way.  

---

@conflagrant I was only given one month free

Answer 8

Looks like I will be calling up!  

Answer 9

How do you cancel? I’ve been trying to find it but can’t ‍♀️

Comments

@saintpierre889 :I contacted customer service on my app. But I didn't cancel, they gave me two months free.  

---

@voronezh did you call or did you speak to the live support team?  

---

@saintpierre889 :I didn't actually speak to anyone. We communicated by text. I did it on the app. I'm not very tech savvy. I was just playing on the app and found customer service and typed them a message.  

---

@voronezh I found it thanks for letting me know, I got 2 months free so I didn’t have to cancel  hopefully I will be back at work by June

---

@saintpierre889 :I'm glad to be of help. Good luck.  

---

They only gave me 1 month.  

---

@koonce18630 Me too

Answer 10

They are helping me to stay focused but I really prefer the in person group meetings. I am an emotional night eater and have been gaining some each week. The gain would be worse if I wasn't attending the virtual meetings. Still at lifetime so far.  

Answer 11

I cancelled too.  

Answer 12

I have not been able to figure out how to log in to the meetings. So I switched to the digital only. That way I still have access to the tracker and everything on the application pages.  

Answer 13

I’m out of the loop. How do you find your virtual meeting?  

Answer 14

While the virtual meeting is not the same as in-person meetings, I have found them just as helpful. I can connect with my leader and other WW members. By doing this, I have been staying on track during the quarantine. I was apprehensive about these meetings before they started, but I am so glad I have tuned in.  

Answer 15

I am loving them. It takes a little getting used to but it gives me an opportunity to still see my leader, other members AND meet new members as most virtual meetings combine different groups. It’s been fun, and I love the support they give during such uncertain times.  

Answer 16

I liked the virtual meetings. wasn’t sure at first. I like to attend different ones. I know I wouldn’t be able to do that at a physical location

Answer 17

Its so much better you dont need to go anywhere

Answer 18

I like them. They aren’t the same as the real thing but they give me a chance to regroup and refocus.  

Answer 19

Changed membership to online. Got six months for the price of four. My two daughters were on weight watchers to . One got one month free and the other one got two months free. We decided to text each other every day our weight. Working right now and making us accountable

Answer 20

I can’t get the time to get one since I am now trying to homeschool 3 kids in different grades.  

Answer 21

I think the virtual meetings are great during this time when we can’t be together in our studios. WW is doing a great job of continuing to support is virtually and in emails. It’s a tough time for all of us but this to shall pass. Remember as WW we are better together!  

Comments

@chalybite43 I absolutely agree. Thank you  

Answer 22

It doesn't help me. I need the meetings.  

Answer 23

I need the face to face ownership of stepping on the scale

Answer 24

Where does one find these meetings? I have yet to see how to get on one

Comments

@counterpane go under connect on your app

---

@lemberg43428 thanks will go look

---

@counterpane connect to groups then workshops. I can help you more if you need it

---

Found it  

Answer 25

I love them. I still get to see my group and I have tried different workshops . Do they replace my in person meeting, no! But I'll take it over nothing

Answer 26

I love them.  

Answer 27

I decide to save money for now and just do digital. it’s only 19. 95 a month! I did it through online WW chat.  

Answer 28

Really like them.  

Answer 29

It will give you cities and Personal ID # to get in to Zoom meeting. For me, obviously like in person. That said in these trying times, very thankful to have these meetings. I see a lot of familiar faces. Still get the support of the Coach & other members. I do 2 meetings a week. Need this support. Highly recommend!

Comments

I have done two meeting a week for over a year. Membership pays for unlimited meetings. I found two groups I really like. Each leader has a different take on the weekly topic. Both good, but different.  

Answer 30

You can do as many as you like, even try workshops and coaches across the US. 'Attend' with friends and family across the US.  

Comments

@rubyeruch87 my town didn’t have one so I picked one in Pa

Answer 31

I switched to on line during this

Answer 32

Going on my own!  

Answer 33

I love them. Keeping me accountable. I have reached lifetime while we have had them.  

Answer 34

I love them. Much easier for me to actually make a meeting. Plus, if I get up too late I dont have to have camera on to participate! I can attend in my PJs while still lounging in bed drinking coffee.  

Answer 35

Not the same  

Answer 36

I prefer online.  

Answer 37

I dint like the virtual meeting. I called to cancel and they extended me two free months

Answer 38

Not the same. but either is anything else. I’m grateful for the virtual meetings.  

Answer 39

I enjoy the virtual meetings. We have the BEST leader.  

Comments

@suicidal6 I need a new leader. Who is your leader?  

---

@anxiety9 - She just resigned this week and we are all heartbroken!  

Answer 40

I’m back to My Lifetime goal! I love my coach and my WW peeps. Look for another group. Don’t give up!  

Answer 41

I like them. Went to meeting in Georgia. I live in Virginia

Answer 42

I’m not tech inclined so I’m just doing it on my own till we can go to meetings again!  

Answer 43

I’m certainly not quitting, and I did try one virtual meeting. Not my cup of tea. But I am tracking and posting my weight each week, so I’m doing okay. Not losing, but maintaining, and for now that’s just fine with me.  

Comments

I recommend trying it again. It is new for everyone. I have found that each week it gets better. It is a fast learning curve as people are using zoom in their everyday lives.  

Answer 44

I’m not a huge fan of the virtual meetings versus live, but I need something. I’ve been attending several virtual meetings a week instead of just one. It helps.  

Answer 45

You can turn on a filter so it shows the filtered background and you. This way they will see you and not your house. You may want to find another group that isn’t rude anyway though.  

Answer 46

I barely have internet so have not done the online meetings. Am seriously considering canceling membership.  

Answer 47

I enjoy the meetings.  

Answer 48

I really like the virtual meetings! I am in Michigan now but I’m able to attend the meetings I go to when I’m in Florida! I love my Florida meetings! I wished they would keep them up after this is over with!  

Answer 49

I’m a lifetime member but still go for a weekly weighin. Keeps me focused. I haven’t attended a meeting in close to a year but I now log in weekly to the virtual meeting. It seems to be a small group but I like the moral support everyone offers.  

Answer 50

I called WW . switched to online membership No problem getting a refund

Answer 51

I loved them. Helps keep me accountable and I see other people struggling like me. I highly recommend

Answer 52

I like them. I do one about 5 days a week. The majority of the time I just listen. They are helping me focus. My health depends on me making healthy decisions 24 / 7. WW does it. I like them.  

Answer 53

They’re ok, not the same as the real thing!  

Answer 54

I put my membership on hold for 2 months

Comments

@boat5445 how do you do that?  

Answer 55

If you tell him you have a financial hardship they will give you two months for free

Answer 56

I think they are okay. They are doing the best they can to keep us involved. I like you can go to meeting in other parts of the country.  

Answer 57

I like the meetings! I like the leader and I enjoy seeing some of the people that I got to know in the actual meetings

Answer 58

I dropped my membership to on-line only . it is cheaper. Weigh-ins are what keeps me accountable, without weigh-ins I didn’t see the point in paying more. I will go back to full membership when it is safe to meet in groups.  

Comments

@grandparent Stone I did exactly the same but I am not being so good with my eating. (I will be happy if I come out of this the same weight and not putting on )

---

I dropped down too. I wasnt paying all that to weigh myself. They should have dropped the price for the time being.  

Answer 59

I miss my meeting. If my leader was allowed to hold our meeting virtually, it would help

Comments

@vulgar68 why isn’t she allowed? Ours has the same schedules they had, just all virtual Right now. It’s nice and actually way more convenient!  

---

Only certain leaders are running our virtual meetings.  

Answer 60

They are just as beneficial and it’s nice to ‘go‘where people know you.  

Answer 61

Not the real McCoy. And my scale reads differently if I get on it 5 times in a row. I like that the WW studio had a consistent scale. Right now, I have a 3 month promotion. After three months I’ll be paying almost $50 / mo. I will go with only digital at that time.  

Answer 62

I have never attended one. Not quite sure how to do it. Is there a place to find instructions?  

Answer 63

I prefer on-line

Answer 64

It’s nice in a way. Still in my pjs, hot cup of coffee, comfy couch.  

Comments

@diamagnetic just like how I go to work everyday  

Answer 65

I really enjoy the meetings

Answer 66

I have not figured out how to get to these meetings on zoom. I keep getting the notice "waiting for meeting to begin " and it never changes

Comments

@boreal Heit Giesler are u clicking the one your supposed to

---

@hamamatsu661 @punctuate92 Conrad I have no idea. I'm old. I need someone looking over my shoulder and telling me exactly what to do

---

@boreal Heit Giesler I could help u if I knew which group u wanted

---

Your in Canada ?  

---

Kitchener, Ontario

Answer 67

I don't get good service for the meeting it kind of cuts in and out , but It gives me the accountability I need and the support I need and I love seeing our leader and her assistants !  

Answer 68

It’s ok. Not the same but ok

Answer 69

I canceled and will start up when they go back to meetings.  

Comments

@spinoza same here

Answer 70

I don't like them, if I had better internet service, maybe. It's definately not worth the price though.  

Answer 71

It keeps me going. I need the reminder each week.  

Answer 72

I agree I don’t know how to do this do you get an invite or one

Comments

@sonneteer Ruehle Atkins get in touch with your leader. I belong to the Albany group. Where in nz are you? What meeting do you usually go to?  

---

@sonneteer Ruehle Atkins on your app, in Connect, go into groups, join a group (if you're a workshop member, your workshop is assigned to one) or visit any. I have friend whose goal is to visit at least one in all 50 states. Yesterday she 'went ' to Hawaii and said it was a wonderful group.  

Answer 73

I love them!  

Answer 74

I think they are great

Answer 75

Just switched to digital only

I like them. I like the connection to my Friday folks. It gives me a strange sense of normalcy.  

Answer 77

I’m loving them. Re joined . find it motivational.

@rubyeruch87 Thank you!  

Answer 81

Okay but dont prefer

Answer 82

I switched to online only. I’m not paying extra for virtual meetings, I didn’t find them particularly helpful. Will switch back whenever they have actual workshops again.  

Comments

@cost698 I did the same.  

Answer 83

I can’t get into it

Answer 84

I like them. If you went to the meetings before online, you already know the other members. Its nice to see everyone.  

Answer 85

Never heard about this!  

Answer 86

I like them. It keeps me accountable.  

Answer 87

I’m enjoying the online meetings but I hope they don’t replace the physical weigh ins because I need the accountability

Answer 88

Too expensive for so little. Should be an online cost since that’s what it is

Answer 89

I couldn't get it set up

Answer 90

Still a meeting i dont see a difference except i dont drive there

Answer 91

I do online only

Answer 92

Soso. some leaders are better than others. Too many strangers complaining about stress and overeating. hard to relate when you don't know them and when you are also stressed (as is everybody) but you are controlling what you can control - food intake.  

Answer 93

Very convenient!  

Answer 94

I love the virtual meetings. I meet with the same group at the same time as my normal meeting.
