We had an interesting forum discussion on iChange about Weight Watchers Online bullies. One person’s comment:
“Not a reflection on WW themselves, but I was in the online community there and there were a group of bullies that seemed to make it their goal to make fun of and point out the weaknesses of others.

I don’t know if that’s still happening but it was a major reason why it didn’t work for me to do the online program with them.

Others chimed in that this is a problem they also have seen on Weight Watchers Online.
iChange is structured so that our experts and Group Leaders ensure that the online conversations are productive and encouraging. As we grow, we will continue to refine our systems to keep iChange a safe place to control weight and stay healthy. Our hope is that we can keep the bullies at bay.
