How myWW+ by WW (Weight Watchers reimagined) works:
Reach your goals with myWW+
- Take our new personal assessment for a holistic view of what impacts weight loss for you—from food to sleep to how you think.
- Plus, we’ll scientifically match you with a food plan (Blue, Green, or Purple) that guides you toward food choices geared for your preferences
- Your WW app will be personalized with trackers, FitPoints®, tips and tricks, recipes, and tools designed to help make losing weight easier
Food
WW is built on the latest nutritional and behavior change research to help you eat what you love while building healthy habits.
Our science-backed SmartPoints® system takes the guesswork out of what to eat, cook, or order. No food is off-limits.
For extra flexibility, you'll get a custom list of ZeroPoint™ foods—which can include chicken, potatoes, whole-grain pasta, and more!—that you don't have to track or measure (depending on your food plan). This gives you freedom in what you eat, so you’re never missing out.
