How do I Retrieve my Weight Watchers Lifetime Membership Number?

Posted by Polina

Q: I was a Weight Watchers lifetime member many, many years ago and am interested in re-joining. I do not have my lifetime member card. Could I have it emailed or mailed to my home?

A: If you’ve lost your Weight Watchers lifetime membership number, they can retrieve it, as long as you live in the same area where you signed up. Just call 800-651-6000 or go to the site and email Weight Watchers to get your number. If you have moved away from the area where you signed up, Weight Watchers suggests you fill out a new Lifetime Membership Information Request Form at your new Weight Watchers meeting location.

If you are interested in checking out some other diet plans, we review both Do-It-Yourself Plans and Meal Delivery Plans that could fit your diet needs. To check out the reviews, click here.

Keep Your Diet Resolution with this Diet To Go Deal

Posted by Polina

With Diet To Go, dieting doesn't have to be hard nor expensive. This meal delivery program scored third in our last online diet food taste test and is now offering 2 exclusive January deals to NextAdvisor readers. This month, our visitors can take $30 off any meal plan $100 or more with the promo code NEWME30. You can also save 25% on any meal plan that is $75 or more with the promo code NEWYEAR25.

Not only does the food actually taste good, but one of the things we like about Diet To Go is its variety of delivery options. Diet-to-go has physical locations in Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia and San Francisco for pick-up, but you can have your meals shipped to you anywhere in the US. You can also choose whether you want five or seven day meal plans, and whether you want them to be full or partial (i.e just lunch and dinner) plans. For the taste test, we picked up our order at a Walgreens store that was just a couple of blocks away. If you prefer it on your doorstep, that's even more convenient!

With the Fresh Prepared Meals Diet Plan, is there an Option to "Opt Out" of Certain Foods?

Posted by Polina

Q: My husband cannot eat poultry, is the Fresh Prepared Meals plan a good choice? Is there an option to "opt out" on certain foods?

A: Fresh Prepared Meals is a comprehensive meal delivery program that is best for people who prefer a more structured plan. Both the 5-day and 7-day plans feature a standardized meal plan, so if you have very specific dietary needs, the Fresh Prepared Meal program may not be for you. However, there are ways in which you can customize it a little bit more. For example, you can sign into your account each week and select which foods out of their selection you want to receive, giving you the ability to customize your meals a little bit more. Thus, if your husband does not eat poultry, there are ways in which he could choose other foods at the beginning of each week. Read more about Fresh Prepared Meals!

Another great, and low-priced, meal delivery service option would be Nutrisystem, which has special meal plans for men in particular. With Nutrisystem, the meals are more customizable and may be a better option for you. Read more about Nutrisystem here.

Is eDiets available for iPad?

Posted by Sarah

The following is an actual user-submitted question:

Q. Is the eDiets program available for full use on iPad?

A. Sorry to say, iPad doesn't support eDiets. eDiets says it is working on it, but there is no ETA. Your best bet, if possible, is to use your online diet program on a standard computer.

NEW Nutrisystem Flex Plan: Take Weekends off from Diet Food!

Posted by Sarah

nutrisystem-flexSwimsuit season is in full swing, and you might be getting frustrated with adhering to your diet program's strict guidelines. This is why Nutrisystem has introduced a new plan called Flex. Although Nutrisystem is a meal delivery diet, when you try Flex, you only have to eat Nutrisystem meals for five days out of the week. Nutrisystem, which is based on low-GI foods, provides you with a free low-GI cookbook so you can prepare your own healthy meals on those other two days. Also, Flex can now include fresh-frozen Nutrisystem foods in addition to the ready-to-go meals already on offer.

Nutrisystem is offering you an awesome deal right now: 15% off Flex plan with fresh-frozen food OR 20% off basic Flex plan, both with free shipping! You don't need a coupon code. All you need to do is follow any link to Nutrisystem from NextAdvisor.com. Yum!

Can you do Weight Watchers Online and still go to an occasional meeting?

Posted by Sarah

The following is an actual user-submitted question:

Q. Can you do Weight Watchers Online and still go to an occasional meeting?

A. Weight Watchers programs can seem a bit confusing at first, but there are a couple of important distinctions. Weight Watchers offers two programs: Weight Watchers and Weight Watchers Online. The latter is only online, and you may not attend meetings. The first one, however, is meetings-based with the option to add eTools for $12.95 extra per month, and then you can track your points and progress online.

So if you want to attend any meetings, you should sign up for Weight Watchers and, if you want the support of Weight Watchers Online, add eTools.

I have a lifetime membership in Weight Watchers. Won't that affect my sign-up price?

Posted by Sarah

The following is an actual user-submitted question:

Q. I have a Lifetime membership in Weight Watchers. Won't that affect my online sign-up price?

A. Sadly, it won't. From the website:

"There is no Lifetime membership discount for Weight Watchers Online and there is both a sign-up fee and a monthly charge. If you continue to attend Weight Watchers Meetings, we suggest you subscribe to Weight Watchers eTools; but if you are not going to Meetings, you may want to consider Weight Watchers Online."

Yeah, we think it's kind of bogus, too, but at this time, your Lifetime membership to Weight Watchers won't give you a discount for the online portion. If you're going to meetings and keeping track of your food intake but you think you'd benefit from using Weight Watchers Online as well, we can offer you a 30% discount on three months if you click here. If you're thinking of switching diet plans, we review many others here.
