Weight Watchers Reviews

I have tried more than once to cancel my membership. I signed up for a three-month membership and prior to the expiration, I e-mailed the company telling them I no longer wish to remain a member. They automatically charged my credit card another month's membership. They said they could not find a record of my cancellation of membership.

I feel very upset being treated rudely before the meeting. I was refused service and needed to stay again in a long line to be weighed. People before me did not have to go to another line and they were weighed in. Will the group leader ever stop talking about herself and let other people share their real life experience?! How they lost weight ... The group leader herself seemed not very compliant. She does not portray a slimmer person than I with my 160 pounds. My MD suggested 15 pound loss and I feel I and others do not receive helpful support. We need a lively and kind person to inspire. I wasted my time there and I may not be successful since I have limited financial means for going to other WW meetings i.e., at Sunset Blvd, etc. Any help coming or response?

I was eating a Weight Watchers vanilla-topped chocolate dessert when I came across something hard. In fact, I bit down on two hard objects, which I luckily spat out before I swallowed them. There were two solid plastic beads that were placed on the top of the dessert along with the chocolate and vanilla pieces. I couldn’t finish the dessert. It put me off eating it and almost pulled my filling out.

Last night, I found a wooden stick (or what appeared to be a wooden stick) inside the shrimp marinara sauce of a Weight Watcher's frozen dinner that I had purchased for dinner. The object was a dark brown color (almost black) and about 2 inches long. When I broke it in half, it was clearly evident that this object was a piece of wood. This is the product information: product identification panel 5077339-003, best by 09/28/2010 PC8J05F1150. Please direct me to someone who will be able to do something about this, as the object presented a choking hazard and I find this to be a very serious issue. I have saved my receipt number, the container (with the stick) and packaging (which contains the product identification panel).

I purchased several Smart Ones Weight Watcher Frozen meals for my lunch at work. I microwaved the Chicken Piccata. Upon opening the Chicken Piccata with Wild Rice to stir it and place it back in the microwave, I noticed a large curled fly larvae (maggot) lying on top of the rice. I immediately lost my appetite, and called my local health department who then told me to call the Department of Agriculture because the meal had chicken. It will be three weeks on Friday, and I still have not heard from them. The dinner is still in the freezer at work. I called the Heinz company wherein, they apologized. A few days later, I received a formal letter of apology and coupons. That is a royal slap in the face. I cannot bring myself to eat packaged foods. As a matter of fact, I have not eaten any form of meat since that day. On the day I discovered the maggot, my co-workers took the frozen dinner out of the freezer and stirred it....and discovered more maggots. I am physically ill just thinking about it. How in the world, can a company be nonchalant about its products and not give two squirts about its consumers?

I love most things about weight watchers, the only thing I have a pet peeve about is the short expiry date on their pre-paid coupons. I bought some coupons, about 3 months worth, in the spring of this year. I missed a few months and then when I returned in the fall I found out my coupons expire on Dec 31, 1007. I find it strange that the expiry date would be less than a year. I paid and now I am losing about $100.

I will never go back to Weight Watchers. If it was easy for me to lose weight and maintain I wouldn't have needed to go to Weight Watchers. They are supposed to encourage and support people to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight, not shame and discourage them. I lost my job, I don't have the money to go to another weight control company. Since the encounter with Linda, I have been using food for comfort and gaining more weight.

I have two experiences that were not favorable for the Weight Watchers Team. My first meeting about 1 month ago was with Lauren at the Forest Hills location. This was the last meeting one could attend at the $9.95 special. The entire meeting time was very disruptive, and at no time did the Instructor stop to gain control. I find this to be very upsetting and unfair for those who have paid and came to learn this program. Constant talking and interuption during the meeting-discussions going on that did not pertain to the purpose we were all there. I had to shhhing people, at one point I asked Lauren who was the instructor here because everytime I asked a question someone else buted in and answered and as stated before she did not put a stop to this. This meeting was a waste of my MONEY.

They have taken $60 - $80 that they are not entitled to out of my account. The last payment taken just two nights ago. I am sending through another cancellation request today.

On 1/17/02 I saw a segment on TV about weight loss (I believe Channel 2) and found out that Weight Watchers had a website. On 1/18/02 I decided to try it. I was stupid enough to subscribe via e-mail and gave my credit card number to be invoiced for 44.95 (I believe that is the amount).
