Whether you're working toward a weight loss goal or maintaining your progress, questions about your program can arise at any time. No matter what you're curious about, you can easily chat with a Coach 24/7 online at weightwatchers.com or within the app to quickly get the information you need. It’s like having the best advice right at your fingertips!


What questions can I ask a Coach?


No questions are off limits—so ask away! For example, you could start a chat with a Coach if you want to learn more about…

  • The program. There’s always a Coach at the ready to explain how your Points Budget and rollovers work, and to talk you through your journey.
  • What to eat. Say you’re out to dinner at an Italian restaurant but don’t know what to order: pasta or pizza? You could use your app to ask a Coach to suggest some low-Points options.
  • Problem solving. Have you hit a weight-loss plateau? A coach can help you climb out of a rut or smooth over a rough patch.
  • Points questions. Your chat Coach can tell you how many Points are in your fruit smoothie or where to find the full list of ZeroPoint foods.
  • Tips and tricks. Done with dinner and still feel like snacking? Ask your chat Coach for tips on how to feel fuller for longer or which ZeroPoint foods make great snacks.
  • Words of encouragement. Need some words of encouragement? Think of 24/7 Live Coaching as your on-the-go cheerleading squad.
