how it works

(Hint: You’ll eat what you love)

We use a system no one else does, so you’ll lose weight—not your favorite foods.

WW member Monika P. dines on a noodle dish, which is 6 Points for her. A graphic depicts the inputs, such as protein and added sugar, that determine a Point value.

meet the Point

The Points® system takes a food’s specific nutritional info and turns it into a single number.

WW Member Derly O. is shown with a daily budget of 22 Points. Also shown is a question from the WW app reading “What’s your focus?” “Lose weight” is selected.

After you join, answer some quick questions in our app. You'll immediately get a nutrition plan and Points to ‘spend’ each day.

We help you lose weight and build healthy habits, one small step at a time. Fad weight-loss diets can be restrictive, and rarely work long term. We have more than 140 publications that show WeightWatchers’ efficacy to help members lose weight and keep it off, and we’ve been ranked the #1 Best Diet for Weight Loss by U.S. News & World Report for 13 years in a row.††

What you eat is up to you—and we’ll show you how to enjoy your favorite 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 WeightWatchers app and enjoy as many ZeroPoint™ foods as you'd like. Activity can also boost your weight loss (vs. only focusing on food)ᶿᶿ, and every member has access to free, fun, all-level workouts.

Our Workshops (or Meetings, back in the day) are coach-led group sessions held in a Studio location or online. You don’t need to go, but the extra support can ramp up your results: Workshop members lose two times more weight than those who DIY.ᶿ Workshops offer unlimited accountability, and give you a sense of belonging alongside coaches and members who really get it.

Our current weight-loss program uses advanced nutrition and behavioral science for our most personalized plans yet, and factors in more nutritional data, like added sugars, fiber, and unsaturated fats, to guide you toward the healthiest foods. It also gets to know who you really are, to build a nutrition plan that makes weight loss livable and easier. Plus, we’ve added hundreds of ZeroPoint foods you never have to measure or track.
