WeightWatchers gives you lasting results
Unlike other weight-loss programs, we’re all about helping you form a healthier, sustainable lifestyle, one that covers every angle: nutritious eating patterns, activities you enjoy, and challenges to help you move more; a supportive, welcoming community of coaches and like-minded members; and the most impactful behavioural science to help you shift your mindset—and stick with it.
Zero deprivation
Our program doesn't categorise foods as good or bad, and there's no need to consume prepackaged or frozen meals. We want you to relish in your favourite dishes and go out to eat whenever you please! Our program is unique in that there are no limitations on food, allowing you to live your life to the fullest without feeling restricted.
*People following the WW program can expect to lose up to 1 kg per week.
Much more than calorie counting
If you're searching for a weight-loss plan that goes beyond tracking calories, you're in the right place. Our Points system not only considers calories but also takes into account complex nutritional data, such as protein, fibre, natural vs. added sugars, and saturated vs. unsaturated fats.
Your plan is customised and flexible, so you won’t feel hungry
After you join, we’ll build your customised nutrition plan, complete with a Points Budget to spend how you’d like—it’s like a financial budget, but for food! Plus, get a 200+ list of delicious, nutritional, foods that you never have to measure or track helping you stay on track and curb hunger.
*People following the WW program can expect to lose up to 1 kg per week.
Build healthy habits in a way that feels effortless
We all know that eating vegetables, drinking lots of water, and exercising are crucial for losing weight. However, starting and maintaining these healthy habits can be challenging. This is where our program comes in, using clever techniques based on behavioural science to encourage these habits in an enjoyable way. Soon enough, you'll find that these habits have become second nature to you.
Your journey is your own, but you’re never alone
Our community and coaching are legendary. Expert coaches (who are members themselves) are only a tap away in the WW app—so ask anything, anytime. And our members-only social network, aptly called Connect, is there whenever you need motivation, inspiration, or even new recipes!
