Weight Watchers is the chosen name of a world-wide functioning corporation that offers diet related help and foods. However, that term was created long time before the company was actually founded in the year 1963. Nowadays, more than 45,000 hard working employees work in that big company. The offered weight loss service is focused on 2 different strategies. On one hand, Weight watcher offers a variety of fat-reduced dieting food products that aid to lose fat. On other hand, the company provides a membership based program. The whole program includes meetings and seminars. In that approach the positive group effect has made the Weight Watchers more successful than most other diets. The program is based on a point system, depending on the personal conditions. Every member has a decided number of points per day that she or he can spend for food, while each type of food has a specific number (of points).

company was constituted by the over-weight housewife Jean Nidetch. After some failed experiments using various diet plans, she discovered a diet regime that helped her losing weight successfully. Inspired by the success, she established a group of support. That is how Weight Watcher's first group was born. Finally, the continuous success of the weekly classes has lead to the incorporation of the Weight Watcher.

You will find Weight watchers agencies in many US cities and in 30 other countries. Where you can get information and apply for your membership program. Another type of membership in the program is an online account at the Internet platform. You can easily monitor all your success using your own Laptop at home. Yet, for the better results you can use them both, the online and offline membership.
