for a teen(over 10) to join weight watchers, they must first go to the site, and lookup meetingsa in thier area. to attened, they have to have a parent with em(i think, check on that), and they have to first go to thier doctor and get a slip saying they are overweight, and can diet, what thier current weight is, and thier goal weight.

kaitlyn is right, you do need doctors permission, it's a new law. but if you are "obese" the doctors shouldn't have a problem with reccomending you to it. when they made the new law i was already on it, but i still had to have a doctors note!

no it doesn't specifically say anything about teenagers doing weightwatchers but they still can...i joined at 16 & 17(shame on me I quit) but now at 18 im back.....one tip is to actually follow the program. when I failed before I wasn't using the point system, just the weigh ins & I ended up giving up, but now im on the point system im doing well. it doesn't matter if ur a teenager. I go to meetings and everyone there's old(as in elderly old!!) because its a Monday morning meeting and everyone else is at school or work. I don't mind though because im not there for other people im there for me. plus I find it better as I might b embarrased if there were people my own age. I dunno. all I know is that joining will be the best decision of ur life xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

i did weight watchers and i never needed doctors permission... my mom was signing up and we signed up together she just needed to sign something cuz i was under 18... umm the website should have a link to locations either that or try a phone book. ~*MaNdY*~

You have to have a doctors check up and see if they think you should join!
