What to Know About WW

Considered Trying WW? Here's Everything You Need to Know About the Program

It seems like everyone knows someone who's been on WW. Personally, I've been on several different versions of the program over the years — dating back to the time when it was still known as Weight Watchers — and I've found success with each one. What I find most refreshing about WW is that you don't necessarily feel like you're on a diet, because you can still eat whatever you want. It's just a matter of teaching yourself best practices in choosing good foods.

If you're considering trying WW for yourself but aren't entirely sure what to expect, we've put together a crash course, covering everything from what to eat to how to track your SmartPoints. Here's to finding your own success, whatever that means for you.

How Freestyle Works

When you sign up, you'll be enrolled in the WW Freestyle program, in which you're budgeted SmartPoints to help keep track of your food intake. On top of measuring your food, you also track your activity, and with the rebranding from Weight Watchers to WW came a new focus on overall wellness.
