Weight Watchers Review
Hi all – Mary here!
I have a confession to make – I love food.
Chocolate? Yep.
Candy? Especially the sour, chewy kind.
Bread? Give me alllll the rolls.
Pizza? With extra cheese!
The list goes on. You see, I've been a Yo-Yo dieter for most of my adult life, losing 25 pounds only to gain it back 6 months later. Yikes. However, a couple years ago, I got so frustrated after my pants wouldn't fit (yet again) and realized I had to do something. I had to make a lifestyle change.
After venting to my sweet husband, he mentioned that many of his co-workers had success with WW (now called myWW+ or Weight Watchers Reimagined) and suggested that it may be worth checking out?? I figured I didn't have much to lose and decided to give it a try.
And it has been the best decision I ever made.
Weight Watchers – How does it work?
Weight Watchers today is not the same program that it used to be years ago. My favorite feature today is that you can still eat foods like hamburgers, birthday cake, ice cream, and more – in moderation! You'll get an allotment of points to “spend” daily as well as a weekly points – but if you eat a lot of unhealthy foods, you'll run out of points quicker and may have to deduct points out of your weekly total.
However, the BEST part is that there are over 100 ZERO POINT foods, depending on your plan, that you can eat without using any of your daily points (like grilled chicken, vegetables, etc). SWEET!
Whenever you join WW, you’ll take a personal assessment that assesses your eating habits, food preferences, lifestyle, and activity level. Based on your answers, you’ll get matched with a color plan (Green, Blue, or Purple) that best fits your needs and guides you toward food choices geared for YOUR personal goals.
Weight Watchers Points
You'll get a daily allotment of SmartPoints based on your color/plan below and can rollover a few points every day into your weekly point balance. The weekly points reset each week but are perfect for using when you want to indulge a little more than usual (think special occasions, holidays, etc).
💜Purple Plan – You'll build meals around 300+ ZeroPoint foods including fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and whole grains, and get 16 SmartPoints per day to track other foods that have SmartPoints values.
💙Blue Plan – You'll build meals around 200+ ZeroPoint foods including fruits, veggies, and lean proteins, and get 23 SmartPoints per day to track other foods that have SmartPoints values.
💚Green Plan – You'll build meals and snacks around 100+ ZeroPoint foods including fruits and veggies, and get 30 SmartPoints per day to track other foods that have SmartPoints values.

How do the meal plans that you offer fall in line with WW points?
Hi Donna! The best part with WW is that you get so many points per day (and week) so can eat anything in moderation! My friend Mary still uses our meal plans but just eat smaller portions with a huge salad (which is 0 points!) or she’ll modify the recipe if necessary (ie only put cheese on half etc). Hope that helps!
I started WW last year after hitting 209 the highest my weight had ever been. I have a sweet tooth and never wanted to diet because I knew I would have to give up sweets in order to loose weight and I couldn’t so that. I checked out WW and liked that I could still enjoy sweets as long as I kept my points low enough throughout the day. It has worked so well for me I have loss 30 lbs and am maintaining that. I highly recommend this program.
Does an ‘eligible’ plan include through my work insurance?
WW cannot be called free if “a purchase is required”
Hi Nita! It’s actually free for your first month!
