WeightWatchers gives you lasting results
Unlike other weight-loss programs, we’re a healthy, sustainable lifestyle, one that covers every angle: nutritious eating patterns, easy activities and challenges to help you move more, a vast community of coaches and like-minded members for support, and the most impactful behavioral science to help you shift your mindset—and hit your goals.
There’s zero deprivation
No good or bad foods here—and you don’t have to eat prepackaged or frozen meals. We encourage you to cook what you love and dine out when you want! Unlike other programs, no food is off-limits, so you can enjoy your life fully and never feel like you’re “on a diet.”
*At 6 months, participants in a clinical trial of the WW weight-loss program lost an average of 9.7 lbs (5% of body weight).
We do much more than count calories
So many weight-loss plans are just calorie trackers. WeightWatchers is like having a nutritionist in your pocket. Our program starts with calories and then takes into account all the important nutritional qualities of a food, including protein, fiber, natural vs. added sugars, and saturated vs. unsaturated fats.
Your plan is customized and flexible, so you won’t feel hungry
After you join, answer a few questions and we’ll build your customized nutrition plan, complete with your daily and weekly food Budget to spend how you’d like. Plus, get a generous list of ZeroPoint® (no track, no measure) foods.

We help you build healthy habits in a way that feels effortless
Eating vegetables, drinking lots of water, exercising: All are important to weight loss, but we know they can be hard to start and even harder to stick with. That’s why our program encourages these healthy habits in clever ways, based on behavioral science, so that one day you turn around and realize, “Wow, this habit is now second nature.”
Learn the latest behavior change strategies
Our chief scientific officer holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, leading a robust team of other doctors and registered dietitians (R.D.). With their guidance, we teach members that how they feel and think impacts what they do—quick-fix programs don’t, which is why they rarely work. Our nutrition and behavior change scientists provide you with simple, practical strategies to shift your mindset and how you approach eating—for good.
You’ll never have to go it alone—our support is here 24/7
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!
