We recommend checking with your insurance provider about coverage options. For self-pay members, we offer monthly and longer-term membership options with competitive pricing. Our fees include unlimited workshop attendance, full app access, and ongoing coaching support. Digital-only plans are available at reduced rates for those who prefer virtual support.

First-Time Patient Tips

Success with WW requires consistent attendance at workshops or virtual meetings and daily use of the app for tracking your PersonalPoints. Be patient with the process, as sustainable weight loss typically occurs at 1-2 pounds per week. Don't aim for perfection, but focus on making better choices most of the time and getting back on track quickly after challenging days.

Use all available resources including the app's recipe database, community forums, and your coach's expertise. Be honest about your challenges and celebrate small victories along the way. Plan ahead for difficult situations like restaurants, parties, or travel by using WW's planning tools. Remember that developing new habits takes time, and the goal is long-term lifestyle change rather than rapid weight loss that often leads to regaining the weight.
