many years, to stop going to meetings. it has been an older-skewing program for quite a while.
the increase in pushing electronic aspects, as Meg mentioned, was also a factor. many people soon figured out they could find similar elsewhere, plus online community support, and for no or lower cost; and that hurt ww a lot. (I would expect this stuff to be in most any of the oprah-related stories that mention the business side of things.)
here, the number of meetings and then locations reduced a whole lot in the last handful of years. it went from at least a few options a week at each of 3 different locations in the general area, to maybe 1-2 a week if I could actually get to them; and, if you don't go, you usually have to pay anyway. for that and other reasons (already used a site/app I liked better than ww's offerings, leaders I liked stopped working for ww, etc.), I stopped going.
