What to Expect

Getting started is simple: you can join online or attend a local workshop. You'll complete a personal assessment that determines your daily and weekly PersonalPoints budget. Your first week includes an introduction to the Points system and guidance on tracking your food and activity. Weekly workshops provide ongoing education, motivation, and support from both coaches and fellow members. You'll weigh in weekly (optional at workshops, always private) and track your progress through the app. As you lose weight, your points budget adjusts automatically. We provide resources for navigating challenges like dining out, holidays, and plateaus. Members can participate as long as they'd like, with many choosing to continue even after reaching their goal weight for ongoing support and maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the PersonalPoints system work?

Every food is assigned a point value based on calories, saturated fat, sugar, and protein content. You receive a personalized daily and weekly point budget, and ZeroPoint foods (like most vegetables, fruits, and lean proteins) don't count against your budget.

Can I eat out while on WW?

Absolutely! The app includes point values for menu items at most major restaurants, and we provide strategies for dining out successfully. You can also save weekly points for special occasions.

Do I have to attend workshops?

No, workshop attendance is optional. We offer digital-only memberships for those who prefer to use the app independently, though many members find workshops helpful for motivation and support.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Weight loss varies by individual, but WW members typically lose 1-2 pounds per week. Clinical studies show WW members lose 2.6 times more weight than those trying to lose weight on their own.

What if I reach my goal weight?

Once you reach your goal weight and maintain it for 6 weeks, you become a Lifetime member with free meetings and digital access as long as you stay within 2 pounds of your goal weight.

Is there a minimum commitment period?

No, there are no long-term contracts. You can pause or cancel your membership at any time, though we recommend giving the program at least 2-3 months to see meaningful results.

Can the program accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes, the program works with virtually any dietary preference including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, and others. The app allows you to filter recipes and foods based on your specific needs.

What support is available between workshops?
