How the Program Works

Whether you’re already working toward your healthy weight, are just thinking about getting healthy, or even if you’re not sure where to start, the Healthy Weight Center can help! Tens of thousands of people just like you have used our programs to create their own plans, connect with others, and reach out to our Support Specialists for support and advice. 

Getting started is easy. Just follow these simple steps to create your own anonymous account. Once you become a member you’ll have access to all the tools and networks in the program.

Step 1. Sign up
Click the “Join Now” button in the upper right corner. We’ll ask you a few questions about yourself so we can give you the most helpful resources. A confirmation email will be sent to the email address you provided at registration. It contains your program password, so you may want to save or print the email for reference. Although your personal information is always kept strictly confidential, we encourage you to register with an anonymous email address.

Step 2. Connect with Other Members and Our Support Specialists
Once you've created an account you automatically have posting privileges in the online support group. Our Support Specialists are also online to help with questions. Even if you don’t want to post messages right away, many people find it helpful to just read what others are experiencing. You can also use the online Instant Messenger to immediately communicate with your “HWC Buddies” for support. 

Step 3. Create Your Plan
Once you’re logged in, you also have access to all of the HWC Toolkit exercises, which have been designed to help you better understand how you are going to reach and maintain your healthy weight. The more you know, the better chances you have of reaching your goal. All of the exercises are self-guided, so you’re welcome to complete the exercises in any order. You can also come back and re-do the exercises at a later date or just review your results.

Step 4. Access Your Tools
Your account also gives you access to helpful tools like meal plans, a calorie lookup and a check-in diary. You can also update your profile. For example, some people like to change their password. Also, you can create a profile and upload a picture for other members of the online support group. Finally, you can update or cancel your subscription to your support email and text messaging.

Step 5. Let Us Know How You’re Doing!
We want to make sure our program is as helpful as possible. Occasionally we'll send you an invitation to give us your feedback and let us know how you are doing. Your feedback is very important and we appreciate your honest answers so we can improve the program for others.

If you need more help or support, you can always check out the online support group. Chances are, someone else has the same questions as you. If you’d prefer, you can contact our Support Specialists directly. For technical questions, please contact our IT Team for help.
