Jean Nidetch, a housewife and mother, founded Weight Watchers in 1963 in Queens, New York.  She had been overweight most of her life and had tried many efforts to lose weight like pills, hypnosis, and numerous fad diets, which all led to regaining her weight.  She was at the age of 38 when she weighed 214 pounds and somebody mistook her for being pregnant.  She therefore began a weekly support group in her apartment, initially inviting six overweight friends, which within two months grew to 40 women each week.

She introduced the “Prudent Diet”, a single page from the New York City Board of Health, to her fellow weight-loss seekers, and the group provided empathy, rapport, mutual understanding, support, and sharing of stories and ideas. The meetings also included a weekly weigh-in, and Nidetch developed a rewards system including prizes for weight-loss milestones. In October 1962 Nidetch achieved her target weight of 142 pounds, and maintained the weight loss; according to her she never exceeded 150 pounds thereafter.

The name Weight Watchers in 1963 was changed to WW International, Inc. as they wanted to be known not only for their weight loss products, but more for the packaged food and exercise products and routine as well as health and wellness programs such as the Monthly Pass Program.  Hence, the commencement of the Monthly Pass Program.  This article will assist you in familiarization of a few of the things you need to know about the program, as well as a quick guide with the links to assist you in setting up your account online.
