WeightWatchers Points Program | WW UK
The WeightWatchers Points® Programme: Trusted by millions
Lose weight and enjoy everything that makes life…life.
Trusted NHS community weight management partner for over 10 years
Award-winning app with easy-to-use features
Customised food plan and nutrition guidance for your needs
Change your relationship with food
Nutrition simplified, with no deprivation. That's the power of our Points® programme.
Go beyond calorie counting
We take a food’s calories and complex nutritional info and turn it into a single number—the Points® value. The healthier a food is, the fewer Points it’ll have.
Stick to a Budget
Get your customised Points Budget to “spend” on any foods you want. Track your food in the app. Staying within your Budget is key to helping you lose weight.
Eat healthier, without guesswork
Nutrient-dense ZeroPoint® foods require no tracking or measuring. These are the foods you should aim to eat often—and anytime.
Be in good company
Connect is a members-only, judgment-free space to share your favourite Points hacks, problem-solve food challenges, discover recipes that fit your Budget, and celebrate each other.

In case you’re wondering…
Always! Core members can chat with a real WeightWatchers coach right in the app. For the most support you can get as a member, check out Premium, which includes unlimited coach-led Workshops (in person or virtual) in addition to coach chat.
Get all the face-to-face guidance, accountability, and community you need at Workshops, which are coach-led group sessions held in person at a Studio location or online. Fun fact: Workshop members lose two times more weight than people who try to lose weight on their own.^ Learn more about the Workshop experience included with Premium.

We cover every angle for sustainable results: nutritious, flexible eating, simple activities to help you move more, a supportive community, and proven behaviour change strategies to help you build healthy habits for life. Learn more about how we stack up against your other options.
Take our quiz to find out which approach is best for you. Weight loss isn’t one size fits all, and we have solutions that fit your goals and health needs.
Because all three programmes are included in one membership, you don’t have to decide now. It’s easy to switch in the WW app if you ever need to.
Our updated, simplified weight-loss programme makes it easier for you to follow and find success. Every member gets a tailored Points Budget and streamlined list of over 200 ZeroPoint foods. Compared to programmes of the past, we now use advanced nutrition science to factor in more food label data, like added sugars, fibre, and unsaturated fats, to guide you toward the healthiest foods.
What you eat is up to you—and we’ll show you how to enjoy your favourite foods in a way that gets you to your goals. With WeightWatchers, there are no “good” or “bad” foods—just nutritious and less nutritious ones.
We make it as easy as possible. You’ll get a Points® Budget to “spend” however you want. You’ll track your meals, drinks, and snacks in the WW app and enjoy as many ZeroPoint™ foods as you'd like. Activity can also boost your weight loss (vs. only focusing on food)ᶿᶿ.

Our team includes nutrition and behavioural scientists, registered dieticians, clinical researchers, and more. Together they help you overcome common weight-loss hurdles—like stress-eating or late-night snacking—while our exclusive Points system makes nutrition easier—so easy that healthier eating will feel like second nature. After you sign up, you’ll answer a few questions to get a plan customised for you, and build healthy habits with proven behaviour change techniques.
