Change your relationship with food

Nutrition simplified, with no deprivation. That's the power of our Points® program.

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 customized 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…

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.††

Our updated, simplified weight-loss program 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 programs of the past, we now use advanced nutrition science to factor in more food label data, like added sugars, fiber, 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 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 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 behavioral 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 customized for you, and build healthy habits with proven behavior change techniques.
