About WW “Formerly Weight Watchers”

Treatment at WW “Formerly Weight Watchers”

WW (formerly Weight Watchers) has been helping Norfolk residents achieve sustainable weight loss for decades through our proven Points system and supportive community environment. Our science-backed approach focuses on building healthy habits rather than restrictive dieting, making weight loss achievable and maintainable for people with diverse lifestyles and dietary preferences.

At our Norfolk location, members benefit from both in-person workshops and comprehensive digital tools that provide flexibility and ongoing support. Our experienced coaches understand the unique challenges of weight loss and create a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where members feel comfortable sharing struggles and celebrating victories together. We believe sustainable weight loss happens when you have the right tools, support system, and mindset working together.

Services Offered

Our comprehensive program includes unlimited access to in-person workshops led by trained coaches who've successfully maintained their own weight loss. The PersonalPoints system assigns point values to foods based on nutritional content, making it easy to make healthier choices without complicated calorie counting. Our mobile app provides extensive food databases, barcode scanning, recipe collections, and progress tracking tools available 24/7. Connect feature allows members to find friends, join challenges, and share experiences within the WW community. We offer specialized programs for diabetes management, developed with medical professionals to address blood sugar control alongside weight loss. Wellness coaching helps members develop sustainable habits around sleep, stress management, and physical activity.

Yes! The PersonalPoints system is designed around the foods you love. No foods are off-limits, you just track them within your daily and weekly points budget.

Do I have to attend meetings to be successful?

While digital-only options are available, research shows members who attend meetings lose more weight and maintain it longer. The community support and accountability significantly improve outcomes.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Most members lose 1-2 pounds per week initially, with many achieving 10% of their body weight in the first six months. Individual results vary based on starting weight, adherence, and other factors.

Is the program suitable for people with diabetes?

Yes, we offer a specialized diabetes program developed with medical professionals. It helps manage blood sugar while losing weight safely, but always consult your doctor before starting any weight loss program.

Monthly memberships can be cancelled anytime, though prepaid plans may have different terms. We're confident in our program and want members who are committed to their success.

How does WW compare to other diet programs?
