How to Join Weight Watchers Online

Weight Watchers Online can be a powerful dieting tool, especially if you don't have the time to go to regular weekly Weight Watchers meetings, or are too embarrassed to go. Instead, you follow the same Weight Watchers program, which relies on a points system as noted by nutritionist Anne Collins, in order to lose weight from the comfort of your home. Armed with resources like a calorie counter, meal builder and points calculator, you can follow the Weight Watchers plan online to achieve your weight loss goals.

Step 1

Go to the Weight Watchers Online website, found at WeightWatchers.com. Click the button that says "Sign Up Today" under the "Weight Watchers Online" heading. You can also access Weight Watchers meeting schedules and locations by choosing the "Find a Meeting" button.

Step 2

Choose the plan that you'd like. You can pay the registration fee, which is sometimes waived as a promotion, and then pay one month at a time. Weight Watchers Online also offers a discount if you pay three months in advance.

Step 3

Enter a few personal details, like your name, birth date, height and weight. You'll also need to verify whether or not you're pregnant, or if you've ever struggled with an eating disorder like bulimia, before clicking "Continue" to finish the registration process.

Step 4

Create your login name and password. Weight Watchers Online is a complete community. You'll have access to message boards, chats, online tools and your own journal online, so choose a login that you'll be able to remember easily, and one that you're happy to be known and recognized by online. Create a password, preferably by using both letters and numbers for optimum security.

Step 5

Pay the fees with your credit card by entering your credit card information and authorizing the first payment. You'll also need to check the box to verify that you've read the Weight Watchers terms and agreements carefully and agree to them.

Step 6

Verify your account via an email that will be sent to the email address that you specified during the registration process. After you verify, you're signed up and ready to use all the tools and support offered on Weight Watchers Online.
