Is there a weight requirement to join WW?
I mentioned that I may want to join, even though a 19 pt diet scares me.
I think meetings would help motivate me as well.
Its time to do something, esp since there is no EXCERCISE in my daily life. :(
Anyways........
I was told that I may not qualify and believe me, I am not thin so i was like

I am not sure if this link will work for you...
height/weight recommendations
You can join if you have at least 5 lbs to lose and it falls in the recommended weight range for your height!

No. There is no weight requirement. If you are in the healthy weight range and want to lose a few lbs., that's fine. Or, if you are not in the healthy weight range and want to lose a few lbs and live a healthy lifestyle, that's fine too. All are welcome.
Someone else's 40 lbs could be your 10 lbs. Why let it get go so far that you will have 20 or 30 or 80 lbs to lose?
I say go for it!   You'll do great and it really helps you make those life-style changes so that you can lose weight and keep it off.

That's not exactly true. Yes, it does have to fall in the healthy weight range, they will not let you go below. However, you can only reach lifetime if you have lost at least 5 lbs. YOu can be a PAYING member maintaining a 3 lb weight loss (not sure many people do that, but it is possible).

Interesting!! Good to know! Though honestly I don't know many people who are the perfect weight and couldn't stand to lose 5 lbs 
I can gain 5 lbs just looking at a piece of cake the wrong way
