I can chop and change what I do. I can go out if I want to, it's flexible around me. I have lost 5 stone and feel like I am in the drivers seat and totally in control.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We use a system no one else does, to help people lose weight, rather than lose their favourite foods. When you sign up, you’ll answer a few questions that help us determine your metabolic rate. Then we’ll tailor a food plan that ensures healthy, lasting, totally livable weight loss for you. Our programme uses the Points® system, which takes a food's complex nutritional information and simplifies it into one easy-to-use number: the Points value. Your plan will include a Points Budget, and how you spend is up to you. You'll track your food and beverages in our easy-to-use app through the day. No food, event, or celebration is off-limits. Points guide you to eat more nutritious foods and help you find portions that are right for you. And if you run out of Points, you have ZeroPoint™ foods - nutritional powerhouses you can eat anytime without tracking or measuring.
They are nutritional powerhouses that serve as the foundation of healthy eating and support your overall health. ZeroPoint foods also add bulk and flavour to meals, without costing Points® from your Budget, so you don’t have to weigh, measure, or track these foods—no matter how often you eat them in a day! There are 200+ ZeroPoint™ foods including non-starchy veggies, fruit, eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, fish, shellfish, chicken and turkey breast, & more.
Science shows food tracking is the biggest predictor of success—the more you track, the more weight you’ll lose! But we’re all about consistency over perfection: It’s better to track some food most days of the week than every single thing you eat only some days of the week. In other words, perfection is not required. You’ll quickly decide how to approach tracking in a way that works for you.
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, and every member has access to free, fun, all-level workouts. It is advised that you speak to a GP before starting any new forms of exercise if you have a medical condition or haven't exercised in a long time.
The consensus of the medical community—including both researchers and healthcare providers—is that lifestyle factors like food, activity, sleep, and mindset form the foundation for any weight-loss treatment, including prescription medication and even surgery. For people whose biology makes losing weight more challenging, medications help level the playing field—but they can’t make you eat healthier or move more or shift your mindset. Thus, experts say that these medications should be used as an adjunct to a lifestyle modification programme such as WeightWatchers.
