Weight Watchers Feedback Thread NOW CLOSED

416 replies

AngelieMumsnet · 29/09/2014 14:53

This is the feedback thread for the Mumsnetters who are testing out the Weight Watchers programme.

Weight Watchers say: “With 50 years of success behind us we understand how to make losing weight simple, delicious and fun; but we also understand how challenging it can be when you’re facing it alone. Join us to lose weight, feel fantastic and achieve great things. You can follow our healthy eating plan completely online with support from our unique community, or benefit from attending our lively meetings, for personal coaching and weight loss guidance.”

Testers: we'll be asking you to add feedback once a week - we'd like your first impressions now and every week after that, we'll be posting some new questions for you to answer.

So, in terms of your first impressions...

~ Will you be going to meetings, following the plan online or a bit of both?
~ Why did you sign up to test out the Weight Watchers plan?
~ What sorts of foods do you think you'll be eating following the plan? Will it be a big change for you?

Everyone who adds their feedback will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will receive a £100 Asda voucher, good luck!

Please note: your anonymous comments may be used by Weight Watchers on their website and other marketing materials.

Thanks,
MNHQ

Dh says that you can notice I've lost weight todaySmile

ihatethecold · 12/10/2014 08:35

Yay dobe!
Does anyone have any we cookbooks they would recommend.
The latest mag has some lovely meals in there but not enough for a whole month.

I actually can't believe I bought a WW mag!

BrieAndChilli · 12/10/2014 12:32

I have had a payment to weight watchers come out of my account this weekend. I feel Conned to be honest as we were assured we wouldn't be charged, I wouldn't have signed up as I manage my accounts down to the last pound and often have to do juggling. Doesn't help that work are late paying me so this has left me short for this week.

BrieAndChilli · 12/10/2014 12:32

Has anyon actually had a refund yet??

BrieAndChilli · 12/10/2014 12:51

Just had a message from weight watchers sayi basically sayin they won't refund as per the terms and conditions even though I made t clear it was a free 3 month trial and they have already been made aware of this charging issue by mumsnet Am very disappointed and will be very negative if anyone ever asks me about weightwatchers I am so pissed off

hippoherostandinghere · 12/10/2014 16:21

That's really poor Brie, I'll be so mad if this happens. Terrible service from weight watchers. Ill be pulling out straight away if this happens to me.

hippoherostandinghere · 12/10/2014 16:23

Did you email them Brie? I didn't as I thought mumsnet would sort it out.

ihatethecold · 12/10/2014 17:16

Report your post so mumsnet see it Brie.

BrieAndChilli · 12/10/2014 17:39

After a couple of stroppy emails from me weightwatchers are going to refund, of course will take a few days. If you havnt been charged yet I would recommend sending them an email asking them to make sure you won't be

Ledkr · 12/10/2014 21:18

Can you post the address on here please.
I am disgusted with this.

hippoherostandinghere · 12/10/2014 21:25

Me too, could I have the email you used. I'd like to send them a message too.

dobedobedo · 12/10/2014 22:28

Same here. Angry

ShyPhilosopher · 12/10/2014 23:05

I'm lucky enough to have not been charged yet, plus my monthly pass is now showing an expiry date in 2015. Wonder if it's all been sorted & we're getting an extra month by way of apology.

LottieAndTheDinosaur · 13/10/2014 00:09

That's really bad Brie Angry

I've not been charged yet but I think I joined a bit later than most. ShyPhilosopher I noticed that too - my monthly pass now says valid until end Jan 15??

dobedobedo · 13/10/2014 04:20

"Weight watchers... If you don't sort this soon, I'm gonna eat this whole family sized cheesecake!" Grin

Eva50 · 13/10/2014 07:23

How do I see my monthly pass? An extra month would be good. I need all the help I can get!

ihatethecold · 13/10/2014 07:25

So I've weighed myself this morning.
I'm another lb down.
So half a stone so far in just under 2 weeks.
Still not having any sugar apart from fruit.

Eva50 · 13/10/2014 07:31

Found it! Yes mine says 20/01/15.

ihatethecold well done, that's brilliant.

Sixgeese · 13/10/2014 07:51

My monthly pass is now showing Feb 2015?, I am not complaining but do wonder why Feb and not January. I wonder what everyone else has.

hippoherostandinghere · 13/10/2014 08:59

Mine says 21/01/15. Wonder if weight watchers can confirm we won't be charged again.

hippoherostandinghere · 13/10/2014 08:59

Mine says 21/01/15. Wonder if weight watchers can confirm we won't be charged again.

Sixgeese · 13/10/2014 09:42

Eva50 · 13/10/2014 10:33

I would print it out quickly sixgeese Smile
