WeightWatchers Program Reviews

by Colejaxmom

Is this up last year with my husband and really liked it. Upon rejoining I found WeightWatchersProgram has changed and not all for the best. A lot of useful areas are hidden and take a lot of school to get to now. I feel like before it was easier to access things like sharing recipes or quick add

The biggest loss of feature that I have is being able to share tracked items. This was SUPER useful for my husband and I as I would cook or prepare something and scan the items and then send them to him and vice versa. A lot of times I would scan an item and then throw it away but I could later share the tracked item with him from WeightWatchersProgram and he could then take and adjust it to fit the portion or serving size that he ate. Quick adding won’t make adjustments for serving size because it doesn’t calculate the exact nutritional facts- not to mention sharing items was much simpler and way more convenient.

The loss of the share feature really destroyed WeightWatchersProgram for me. Sharing tracked items was the staple of our previous success and without it we’ve been doing a pretty lousy job of accurately tracking everything. I know the recipes can still be shared which is a little helpful but only covers maybe 5-10% of what we used to share with WeightWatchersProgram . I’m not sure why WW would remove such a useful feature and intentionally make it harder on people joining or working with a support partner ☹️

My mom gifted me a year long subscription to help get into shape for when my husband gets home from the Navy. When I opened WeightWatchersProgram , it insisted on me only paying through iTunes and would not allow me to just put in card information like other apps. Because of this I had to add my moms card info into my iTunes account and set it up at primary. This is irritating because what ends up happening is either I’m paying for the subscription myself (with my card being primary), or she ends up paying for any apps/music subscription/anything already connected to my iTunes Pay (with her card), which is completely ridiculous in my opinion. I called customer service to see if there was a way I could just set a payment method for WeightWatchersProgram itself and not through any other accounts. The lady I talked to was very rude. Was cutting me off while I was talking, repeatedly told me that it was “not her problem,” and transferred me to iTunes who still were unable to help me because they can’t have cards in iTunes pay that are primary for only some things but not others. I still don’t have any resolution and I wish there was something I could do about this as it seems like it should have been an effortless thing to set up. Even if it is through iTunes pay, maybe have an option to “gift an account” so a different payment method could be used. Very disappointed and sad that I have to make this review without even having the opportunity to really try the program.

WeightWatchersProgram is good. I struggle with accountability, finding it hard to track daily with my busy schedule. I was extremely disappointed when WW decided to shut down the meeting room I have attended and received tremendous support from for the past 5+ years. Kathy Edmonds, our coach in Woodstock and Strasburg, VA was phenomenal. It was her leadership that kept me and so many other members on track and coming back week after week or for lifetime like me, monthly. I made an effort to attend as often as I could, but definitely monthly when we went virtual. I cannot and do not feel comfortable with a new coach who does not know me nor who has invested her time and energy into my journey. When WW decided to shut down Kathy’s workshop, they literally pulled the rug out from underneath us and shut our support system down. For a business that touts support, WW has cut our support in this rural area in VA. I cannot travel 70 miles round trip to weigh in when this pandemic is over and that is what Kathy’s members will have to do. So, please help us out and return Kathy’s workshop to us!
I’ll continue using WeightWatchersProgram and trying hard to be successful, but I’d feel so much better making this journey with my friends who were a part of Kathy Edmonds workshops in Woodstock and Strasburg, VA.
Thank you!

I first became a WW member 3 years ago, and back then, WeightWatchersProgram was pretty nice. Unfortunately, my heart wasn’t in the right place and I ended up leaving the program a month later. I gave it a second chance a year ago, and I found WeightWatchersProgram to be better than the last time I used it, because they added the barcode reader and definitely made tracking easier. I left the program a few months later because I became pregnant, but came back as soon as I could, and I was totally amazed with the upgraded app. It has a way bigger library than it used to, and it’s even more user friendly. The only reason I didn’t gave it 5 stars is because sometimes it’s hard to find some items. For instance, the other day I was looking for “fresh strawberries” in the search engine because I wanted to track it, but because I was searching for other packaged snacks before that, the option list only offered stuff like “frozen strawberries”, “dried strawberries”, “strawberry cereal”, etc. I got tired of scrolling down looking for what I wanted, so I waited to track the strawberries later in the day. I know this could be solved if I save the items I want, so it’s easier for the search engine to figure out what I’m looking for, but sometimes I forget (yes, I suffer from “mommy-brain”). I don’t know if the problem can be fixed, but it would be great if it could.

I joined WW back in 2006 when you still had to calculate you points with their slide rule tool and write everything down in their little log books. It became tedious and time consuming and so I dropped off. Fast forward to today and I’m absolutely delighted to have this little pocket calculator and log on my phone. People are creatures of habit and comfort and WeightWatchersProgram appeals to both. It remembers past food items for quick logging, it has a huge database of chain restaurant point options, a huge database of surprisingly delicious recipes that are easy to edit, all designed to be efficient so you can get on with your busy life. They also have Connect - a somewhat baseline social media platform where you can share your experiences and cheer each other on. I don’t miss the in-person meetings and have enjoyed this online experience. With ease and comfort I’ve lost 37 lbs in 6 months and I’m sticking with it this time around! My only qualms are - where you log your weight weekly is so tiny compared to the other images on the page I accidentally skip it and have to backtrack to fix it. Connect also has room to be a little more comprehensive. The overall design of WeightWatchersProgram was a little confusing at first and took a little time to learn my way around all the menus and such.

When I first reviewed WeightWatchersProgram I was unable to use the calculator function and the quick add function was not working properly since I did that review weight watchers has made tremendous strides in making WeightWatchersProgram accessible for those who have partial or complete vision loss. They are truly committed to making sure that we can access the same information our sighted counterparts have on a daily basis. They have worked hard asked questions and quite frankly done more than many companies to make WeightWatchersProgram workable. Since my last review I have discovered that the quick ad is usable and user-friendly. The Calculator no longer exists but that is because of a change in the program not an accessibility problem. With the new points program designed for each participants personal use, it is completely accessible. We are able to sign up, we are able to do all the surveys, change our surveys at any time, and access all of the foods on our plan. The activity sections are markedly improved and the accessibility is greater than it was when this free feature first became available. Overall, I think the difference in WeightWatchersProgram is astounding and all of the weight loss or weight program apps I have seen this is the most accessible. Weight Watchers or WW or wellness wins is truly committing themselves to keeping WeightWatchersProgram accessible because they believe that the use of it is a right for all

To live without a plan is to fail whatever you’re doing. At 74 I finally realize that and decided to lose the pounds I have taken 20 years to gain. I am not computer literate at all, but the weight watcher staff helped me and I find it is so simple. My plan was to determine an outline for breakfast lunch dinner and snacks. I was able to do this and write it on paper with my goal at the top of the paper. Then I was able to put the foods I love into the plan breakfast lunch and dinner and snacks, and follow it daily. I have been a member of weight watchers for six weeks going on seven. And I have lost close to 15 pounds. I say close because on their scale it’s 14 on mine it’s 15. Of course I’m nude when I’m weighing!!! I have tried every diet in the last 20 years and successful in losing the weight only to gain it back. I don’t see this as a diet I see it as a lifestyle change and I’m loving every minute of it. I hope to lose 2 pounds a week until I’m at my goal. The hope becomes fact by making my plan, and happily sticking to it because I’m eating all the foods I like!!!
Do yourself a favor and join weight watchers. By the way I’m not affiliated with Weight Watchers in any capacity other than a client!!! It is so easy to determine how to stay in a weight loss trajectory with WeightWatchersProgram.

YES! This one can. If you track your points daily by using WeightWatchersProgram and stay within your points it can save your life, or at least enhance your quality of life. You never know how detrimental those extra pounds are until you lose them. I’ve had type II diabetes that WeightWatchersProgram decidedly help cure. Once I lost the weight my blood sugar levels went back to a normal level!!! With type II diabetes you can start losing fingers and toes, even your feet. I know someone that recently lost their foot because of type II diabetes. If you track with WeightWatchersProgram and just follow Weight Watchers guidelines you won’t need to suffer so much. I had AFIB, where my heart would just start beating at 200 beats a minute. It would not stop beating that fast! I had to go to the emergency room and have a cardioversion where they shock your heart back into rhythm. It’s my opinion that none of this would have happened if I hadn’t weighed so much. I’ve lost 79.2 so far in about a year. Get WeightWatchersProgram. Follow the rules and track your points. You deserve this. I want to thank the creators of WeightWatchersProgram for all the positive things and improvements you have made. I want to thank Oprah Winfrey for saving Weigjt Watchers. You all mean the world to me! Member - Robert S. Price

WeightWatchersProgram offers so much, including making it your own, adapting their resources on your own style and needs. It is so diverse, includes different levels on intensity and types of exercises. ( HIIT, running, stretching, yoga, cardio, dance) It includes articles on every aspect that affect and impact our eating patterns and weight management, such as anxiety, sleeping patterns, habits on eating more unhealthy foods, self esteem, etc. Most of all it takes care of each one in a holistically way, including: mind, body and spirit to fulfill your wellbeing in a healthier way. Facilitating on reframing reframing those “stuck” beliefs we can have in our minds and how they continuously have a domino effect on our actions and emotions making us to go to unhealthy choices to avoid feelings and all of these happen in automatic pilot. Let’s pause be aware of this precious gift of the present moment and begin to be aware of our choices. Look up for your “mojo”, your “for what” I want to loose weight. Remember each one of us is a beautiful and gorgeous being and we want to fulfill our purpose, enjoy life at the fullest, share and be there for the ones we love, for all your f that and much more we need to be energized, healthier…. It is NOT a matter of having a “skinny body as a model”, it is about your “why you want to be healthier, vigorous, energized”. Be courageous, BE BOLD!! Thank you WW and I am very grateful that Oprah is part of your team.

This is the first time I have used WW and I don’t know why. My wife had great success losing 80 lbs. The cool thing is that she used her points so she could still drink her wine! I had tried Adkins years ago and had success but this time, after several months of stalling - I just couldn’t start, for whatever reason. I looked at Laurie and saw her -80lbs. success and hey- why not try WW? So, I have. And I must say, WeightWatchersProgram is fantastic. I have an advantage bc Laurie has experience with this, so I can ask her questions and she pretty much knows the answers. That said, WeightWatchersProgram is the most supportive, complete and informative app of any kind I’ve used. It’s truly designed to help you succeed and keep you on track. It covers so many foods-it’s incredible! The scanner is so convenient! I scan foods at the grocery store, see how many points it is, then either buy it or put it back on the shelf. That’s just one of the amazing things about WeightWatchersProgram. If you go out to eat, they have a bazillion restaurants in their data base with almost everything on their menu listed. This helps you make the best decision you can if you must eat out. Changing eating habits is tough and WeightWatchersProgram is there for you. Do it now- commit and this will help you beyond what I can tell you. Good luck!

I love WeightWatchersProgram but wish there was a way to go back and enter my eating and activities for the previous day. There have been times when I’ve been crazy busy and didn’t get my food and activities logged in before midnight. I’m so thrilled to have the studios opening up again. They make such a difference for me. Meetings help keep my head screwed on right. They set and keep my mindset in the correct place. I appreciate the classes opening up, although they are small with Social distancing. Thank you for giving us what we need. Still happy the classes are open again. Can you program WeightWatchersProgram so it will send us a confirmation or the ability to put an automatic reminder in our calendar. Thanks much. Continue to be pleased and thankful for WeightWatchersProgram and reopening of studios. It is such a help. Thank you. Thanks for WeightWatchersProgram . I use it constantly and would be lost without it. Very pleased with WeightWatchersProgram . Thanks. I’m still pleased with WeightWatchersProgram and use it numerous times during the day. I still like the ap. It’s all good.

I mainly live WeightWatchersProgram .
1. Often times when making my reservations for class WeightWatchersProgram tries to put me in a different state. It’s tricky but I think I finally found a way around that. We have to go slowly and avoid the automatic step.

No matter what I need whether it’s encouragement, inspiration, a venting place, a place to share my successes and my struggles, the community that has been created via WW Connect is nothing short of amazing. It’s the salve to everything that is awful about social media. WeightWatchersProgram keeps getting better and easier to track any food, get recipe ideas, restaurant menus, even see other foods people have created and logged. Activity is tracked as well and you can set any goal you want. My favorite things are: #1 barcode scanner and #2 blue dots. To explain, there are tens of thousands of food items in the WW databanks with points values available for your reference. Immediately upon scanning, you can choose the weight or measurement of that food item and instantly log it in your daily tracker. If I see someone else at the grocery store scanning barcodes with their phone, we can’t help but smile and nod at each other. 😁 The blue dot is a daily “at-a-glance” look at whether you are eating within your healthy points range. Super helpful and also sometimes the source of a weekly challenge I give myself. 🔵👍🌟 If you’re ready to manage your life with a focus on overall health, balance and positivity stop looking anywhere else and start here.

I was skeptical about WW, but then decided that I’ll never know if I never try. BEST choice in my life. WeightWatchersProgram is super handy and easy to use. I am not good with technology or social type apps, but this walks you straight through. Beginning to end. It is set up to completely accommodate you, the user. It will ask when you tend to eat the most, what your diet is, what your goals are. It’s wonderful! You can choose whether or not you want to be social with the WW community. I chose not to be and I am glad I made that choice just because there is one downfall... and I realize it’s the internet and there are keyboard warriors out there, but people are not always the most positive, uplifting, or even keep things weight loss related on there. Me personally, I feel, (and maybe this is silly?) that maybe there should be monitoring or something because, I see a lot of post about people being mean to others and that’s not cool no matter what WeightWatchersProgram is. This in particular though, is supposed to be encouraging and up lifting. This is a life changer for the better quality of people’s lives! That would be my only problem with WeightWatchersProgram . Otherwise five stars all the way!! To anybody that reads this I hope this helps encourage you to make a step towards making a positive change!

My journey with nutrition and exercise in order to improve my overall health has been difficult. I have tried many diets ranging from low calorie to Keto to other crash diets and nothing has ever been sustainable for me. Just over a year ago I decided to give weight watchers a try because I had remembered a family member tried it a long time ago and had some success. Weight watchers has really help me develop a different perspective on eating as I don’t have to necessarily fixate on carbs calories or fat weight watchers really simplifies all of that by using the point system for daily food consumption. This system has been by far the best thing that I have tried and has helped me lose and keep off about 10 pounds since last December. My results could be way better at this point but due to having Covid multiple times and being a graduate student was stressed I fell off the whack in a few times but I am back on and expecting to have a good outcome. Again I feel that this is the most realistic plan one could try as it is flexible, you don’t have to give up fruits or other snacks that you want you just have to be more concerned about the portions that you’re having. Definitely a program that I believe many people could thrive off of long-term.

However, a couple of months ago my app had a glitch. I called in and explained the problem to no avail. I was told I would just have to live with it. I would like to object to this because I feel I should get a correctly functioning app because I need it and also because I pay for it.
I do not know my exact loss without looking but it is 31 or 32 pounds or so. Suddenly one day WeightWatchersProgram showed me loosing over 200 pounds and it showed this several times. If I had really lost as much as WeightWatchersProgram said I would not exist. When I called they looked at it and could not fix it. They told me to reboot my phone. I did and it did not work. They told me to delete WeightWatchersProgram which I did and once again it did not work. They said they could not fix it and that I knew how much weight I had lost and I would just have to keep track of it myself. I did not agree with this but did not think I could do anything to correct this so I just moved on. However this really is not fair and I feel you should do something to correct it. You have even sent me charms to celebrate the weight I have not lost. I hope someone really reads this but if you treat this the way I was treated over the mistake I do not have much hope.
Anyway I live with WeightWatchersProgram to track and find point values so I will continue. Thank you

I love ww and WeightWatchersProgram is like my daily diary, tracking device, and opportunity to share with members across the country struggling with similar issues. I even track my sleep daily, which helps me organize my life for better weight loss results. Love the recipe suggestions, articles on health and weight loss, advice from members and coaches. It’s simply the best recent addition to the new ww plan! Oh, headspace offers us additional self help methods of relaxation, and calm for better living conditions especially now while we still deal with covid restrictions. I am totally connected to like minded weight loss members and coaches who give the best support and encouragement during these tenuously crazy times. I was able to continue meetings all through the pandemic by staying virtually connected through WeightWatchersProgram. For me, it has been a real life saver. Very important part of survival and thriving! Great to connect with like minded members navigating the rocky waters of our weight loss journey, learning to overcome obstacles together, and joining efforts to face helpful challenges that bring us closer to our goals. Yes, I really need, like, enjoy WeightWatchersProgram. It’s a great supplement to the knowledge I get from my meetings. Thanks for being the very inspirational,knowledgeable organization that you are.

I am returning to WW after many years and WeightWatchersProgram has improved exponentially! I have used the scanner and it has found everything I have used it on when before it was about 1 out of 10 items would be found. I'm enjoying the smart points system and eating fruit again after toying with Atkins for almost two years. I like that it synchronizes with my Fitbit. One thing that miss is tracking my water consumption. (WW has listened and now has water tracking). I like that recipes are built into WeightWatchersProgram and the ones I have made have been fantastic! I also think having a place where you could write a daily journal would be a great addition to WeightWatchersProgram . (WW now has a journal section under the weight tracker). However I think adding it to the daily It could be a great way to note how you were feeling to perhaps help you define if you were emotionally eating and whether you were at a party and that was the reason for consuming a bunch of weekly points and even what your workout was like that day, etc. I just think that would be a great thing to add. Also I have an Apple Watch and I do like the quick add feature and frequently eaten items feature and think it would be great to add a water tracker to the watch app. WW and all of the successful losers have proven that tracking works and this is a wonderful and extremely useful app!

I returned to Weight Watchers (rebranded as WW) in February 2021, while still staying at home as much as possible. WeightWatchersProgram is much improved since I last used it in 2016. I attended the WW new member and app academy virtual workshops, which helped me learn the features of WeightWatchersProgram . Food pillar: The tracking function is the workhorse of WeightWatchersProgram . It works well enough for me. I tracked everything I put in my mouth since Feb. The vast majority of the time the food is already in the database. I added food twice, created recipes ~20 times. I used some of the WW recipes - all good. Activity pillar: I linked WeightWatchersProgram to my FitBit. In order for it to work, I had to allow more access than I prefer but the convenience of syncing was worth it to me. I like the access to the exercise videos. Sleep pillar: Another convenience of syncing with my FitBit is that my sleep log loads into the WW app. I choose not to log my sleep into WeightWatchersProgram by hand. The additional wellness wins are not enough incentive for the inconvenience. Mindset pillar: The audio coaching and Headspace audios are incredible. They are helpful to listen to, even over and over again. Workshop finder helped me find not only virtual workshops but also my local studio. Connect, the online community turned out to be more worthwhile than I expected. I joined my coach’s connect group, which helped my journey. I checked in twice a week.

I so appreciate all that you guys do with WeightWatchersProgram for us and our success! But it’s not perfect, I’m really disappointed in the fact that the rewards GIFs are so an interesting I don’t want to join anything I don’t want to membership for a month to anything, I want to earn fun stuff like the hats we used to have and the charms we used to have it have I so appreciate all that you guys do with WeightWatchersProgram for us and our success!

Also, I do not appreciate the social/political interests that we put on connect with supporting BLM, or the pride parades or anything like that I don’t want that on my WW app to help me lose weight it doesn’t help me lose weight it adds stress to my life because it’s all over TV so if we could get rid of that too, I have been in weight watchers for the last seven years consecutively and I love it but I want my workshop back in Carson City Nevada 🤗😉 and just one more thing I’m not real happy with the Oprah thing she does not represent me in any aspect of my life! I know it’s about the money, but there’s a lot of us who could care less if she’s there.

I have gained so much weight now that I’m in my 60’s. I even thought about a lap band surgery. I saw WW’s special and I thought okay, I can try this. What do I have to lose besides some painful surgery? I started WW back in late January. To-date I have lost 5 lbs.. I know I have quite a ways to go but I’m in it for the long haul. I went to WW over 25 years ago with the little menu plans, calories and weigh-ins. I did not like the weigh-ins and then everyone knew how large I was and if I lost any weight. It was just embarrassing to me. I think I probably weighed 140 lbs. to 145 lbs. back then. I started this new program at 200 lbs. and I’m just under 5’ 2”. I described myself as a short rolly polly, which I used to think was funny, but with my health situation, it’s not too funny anymore. Thank you WW and all the people I’ve met online since I started. I follow a bunch of people and get some great recipe suggestions. Everyone is so friendly and supportive. I don’t feel intimidated at all by doing everything online. I love the simplicity of the new WW program! I especially love the zero points category! Every time I open the fridge, I grab a handful of grapes. I love grapes and cantaloupe. You cannot get cantaloupe in the winter, but you can sure get grapes all year long. I love, love, love WW. A special fan, Pamela Myers

I find using WeightWatchersProgram to track my points very frustrating. It frequently takes me three or four tries before I can enter the food I want. Simple things like a banana took multiple tries this morning. I find the search mechanism to not be very smart. I tried entering sugar snap peas and they didn’t come up instead I got coffee without sugar and other totally unrelated items. Eventually I figured out that I needed to search peas, sugar snap. So because my search terms were not in the same order they didn’t find it. Very frustrating.

In addition trying to create recipes is difficult. I wish there was a way to mass import ingredients like with my fitness pal. Instead you have to wade through the frustrating search for each ingredient individually. I have started shortcutting and only entering ingredients that have points because it isn’t worth the trouble. Then even after I’ve created a recipe it isn’t easily found to track. I cannot just enter the name I gave it in the bar. Instead I get other recipes that aren’t mine. I have to scroll down to recipes and the select through a couple of menus until I can search for the recipe I made.

Sure it is pretty and has lots of features but the main thing I use it for is clumsy and not intuitive. It makes me question how long I’m willing to stay a member even though I have been successful with weight watchers before and really like the new points system.

by Fangs2

Was a good app until this last upgrade.
Since the last upgrade WeightWatchersProgram keeps crashing if you try to open any of the recipes you personally entered. I contacted the online chat for support and was told to delete and re-download WeightWatchersProgram . I did this but the problems persist. Every new upgrade has caused more problems. I have been a member over 5 years but have become so frustrusted with WeightWatchersProgram I'm thinking of dropping using it as it doesn't work well anymore. Ironically at the same time WeightWatchersProgram has deteriorated Weight Watchers has raised it's use fee 25 percent. I am so frustrated I am planning on dropping out of weight watchers. There are other point type apps to get with no monthly fee to use them. They may not be as full featured, but once you buy them they don't crash when using them.

NEW ENTRY Well here we are in Aug 2018 and another update with even more problems. When I go to my recipes now it only lists the food items but not the amount so if you want to make the recipe you have to go to the website, WeightWatchersProgram won't work. Again in the chat line I was told to delete and re download WeightWatchersProgram and it didn't fix the problem. When I finally got tech support they told me they would let the programmers know about the problem. I asked when they would fix it and they have no idea. You should start over WeightWatchersProgram is becoming useless the bug are growing bugs.

WW program with use of WeightWatchersProgram has truly changed my life for the way better! Love this program, but I agree with a few other members with all these updates that continue to change the layout which is annoying.
1) top area of app is too narrow when trying to select to type in the "search food & activity" and the "scanner"
2) when on Connect wish could access the "trending" "new" "following" at any point without having to scroll all the way back to the top, we were able to access at any point before upgrades
3)for some reason when trying to access my food "favorites", does not load all items that I have added, stops loading items when reaches the "W's" and I continually have to rescan or use the search food.
4) it’s annoying when WeightWatchersProgram is fine and then changes are made on items that do not need to be changed making it more difficult to use instead of user friendly, like before used to be able to select a time of day (Morning,noon,evening icon) to enter food item, if I wasn’t able to enter at time of eating, and now it wants to default to current time of day at time I’m at entering food data and I have to go back and reset each time and there are other app changes that are just making it more time consuming to use

✅💗 I absolutely love the WW app as it makes it easier to manage staying on the program. It allows me to quickly track, find point values and recipes and Connect with other ww members. Connect is one of my favorite features of ww as it offers support anytime, anywhere. Any of the wonderful people on there are quick to talk you down from going off track or talk you up from having a bad day. It also allows me to help others which allows me to help myself. I feel good being able to help others, and that adds to the ‘whole’ of the program.
❌ My only complaints are:
1️⃣ While recipes are quick and easy to find on WeightWatchersProgram and online, there is no way to print from WeightWatchersProgram at all (besides taking screenshots and printing the pics), & online it prints the entire webpage with all pics of Oprah and whatever else is on the side there. I love Oprah, but I really just want the recipe on the page. And although some say don’t print them it save trees, people are gonna print. Sometimes we have to.
2️⃣ I want to be able to enlarge the pics posted on Connect. I want to see things better. We can enlarge on other social media such as Instagram, so I’d like to be able to do the same on Connect. Please 🙏🏼

Overall, WeightWatchersProgram helps me keep on track. I love the scanning capability. I don’t like the fact that when I type in “butter” into the search box, it comes up with eight different things before it says, “butter.” At least it does this on my ipad. On the computer, it didn’t seem to do it. Also in regard to searching, on a lot of items it seems like if you don’t type in the exact text that’s on the product you won’t find it. That’s annoying. I should be able to type in the general name of an item and be able to find it. Another thing I’m realizing isn’t helpful, I did switch to using fitness points instead of regular weeklies, but I didn’t lose a pound that week. So obviously you just need to at least stay within your weeklies to lose, and often not use your weeklies at all - at least with me.

Just an idea - I just can’t do seven days a week, so I use my weigh-in day as a free day. I try not to go wild, but if I’ve been craving something, I go ahead and have whatever it is, split it with my hubby, perhaps. Might be cool to incorporate a free day, maybe it costs you one day’s worth of weeklies or something or it costs you prize points, like 50 prize points or both.

by Rox&Ruby

Much like anything in life, one has to monitor and manage to stay on budget and track. THAT is exactly what WeightWatchersProgram does for me! It helps me stay on track with food, steps, fitness, & more. Losing 100 pounds plus is not an easy task but I have done it & the utmost importance is keeping it off! Weekly meetings are my way of giving to myself that reminder on “how” I’m supposed to have a healthy relationship with food. I look forward to listening to the best leader, Adrianne in Studio City, CA., as she gives me the tools to live by each week while I navigate the healthy Weight Watchers lifestyle that is constantly evolving for the better! Sometimes I cannot make it to a meeting due to work, being under the weather, or other circumstances. I’m looking forward to Weight Watchers upgrading to having “The Best Meeting of the week” series that we can see anywhere, any time online or on our phone to stay in the now of success! Come on WW, get with the new technology & give us the Best Meeting of the Week so we can have access just in case we need a meeting more than once a week! Sometimes, I do NEED more than one meeting a week, especially when I get on shaky ground!

WW set out to make a tool for their members. One that is all encompassing. Through their thoughtful and caring means, the end is divine. They considered food, activity, & mindset all in one app that not only covers each area but also equips each of us as we take on our journey to health, wellness and weight loss.
With the ability to walk into a grocery store, scan a barcode and instantly know the “Points value” of a food, I can shop healthy and proactively without fear. I can also pair my activity tracker so I know the value of each activity I complete.
WW also gives me the encouragement right in WeightWatchersProgram to stay on track and make lifelong habit changes that result in healthier living. Whether it be on Connect, a member only social media platform or through inspiring articles, recipes or workout regiments.
WeightWatchersProgram has been the most helpful tool I have ever had when it comes to a healthy lifestyle. It is virtually essential for lasting weight loss and a helpful hand for those that wish to hold onto that healthy life after they conquer the unhealthy habits they had in their life prior to their journey to wellness.
Joining WW has changed my life and WeightWatchersProgram has been key!

Both my husband and I started WW on January 1st, 2019.
I decided that if I was going to start WW...AGAIN (for about the 7th time!) that there was no time better than starting on January 1, new year, new me! My goal is to stay on it for the entire year - something I had failed to do in the past. So far, so good!
I love WeightWatchersProgram because it makes my tracking so easy! I simply enter the food I am eating to find the points and the calculations are done for me. I also love how easy it is to track activities. Using WeightWatchersProgram has made following the plan simple and I think has helped to keep me on track to reach my goal weight. To date, I have lost 17.4 pounds and my husband has lost 30!
In addition to weight loss goals, my husband is close to being taken off blood pressure medication and I am hoping to lower my cholesterol and blood sugar numbers - and then avoid starting any medications!
There are so many other benefits to WeightWatchersProgram that one can choose to use: recipes, connections with other WW members, meditation and activity resources,etc. It has a multiple scope of resources to help one achieve success. I highly recommend WeightWatchersProgram to help with meeting health and weight loss goals!

WW has really transformed diet management with the WW app. If one is serious about understand food and how it affects one’s weight, then this is for you. However, if transferring ownership of what you eat to say: Nutra-System or say Jenny Craig is what you desire, then forget ever making a supermarket a place of visitation. Those previous diet systems choose what you eat, when you eat, and it is almost without the user ( that’s you ) having input. Plus, like the Eagle’s Hotel California, you can check-in anytime you want but you can’t ever leave. That’s because the food is portioned, selected, and packaged per firm by their dietitians.

WW is different. With WeightWatchersProgram and understanding the daily allowance of food accumulation ( known as points ), you accept total control of your food intake. Nothing is off the menu. Surely this lifetime arrangement surpasses anything Hotel California diets can offer. Make your goal weight and WeightWatchersProgram is forever and it’s free. The best of both worlds ... having one’s cake and eating it too. Plus, visits to supermarkets are part of the fun.

It did take me a bit to work into daily tracking but I am sold. I choose WW as my Hotel California because I want to be in control of what I want to eat.

I have done a range of diets through the years, including abig and lasting adjustment away from 252. During the big diet in 2001 which was amazing, i had to look up and calculate everything. This is so much more pleasant. Can scan food at grocery store for smarter choices (yogurt isle was shockingly revealing) have tons of free foods so its less focused on what you cannot have which can increase stress and more focused on what you can which is great.

My only beef with WW is their adherence to the faulty BMI system when deciding what is a healthy weight range to see if you qualify for lifetime. I am not about to lose that much strength to play that game. I am actually rather sad about that as i have reached a very healthy goal that i never thought i would see again and was looking forward to the challenge of monthly weigh in’s to keep me on track. But...not at the sink in water weight they want me to maintain at. I can already stand at tge bottom of the pool comfortably. To lose an extra 15 in order to qualify fir lifetime is crazy stupid. BMI is a faulty system.

The rest of the program is quite good. I am very glad i have done this. Will work at keeping it off.

I love WeightWatchersProgram for tracking plus reading how WW’s are doing with their losses. I also love the graph of my progress. I find it difficult to find all restaurants that we like to frequent. This makes tracking difficult, as I have to itemize every single ingredient. I cook a lot at home and itemize the same way. I have been a WW for many years. Quit and returned four times.
Trader Joe’s must have WiFi as I can track there, but three Safeway’s in Walnut Creek and Alamo plus Pleasant Hill, CA had no WiFi in the store making tracking impossible.
Meetings are excellent and we all love, Mary, our guide and leader. We meet at the Tice Creek Gym on Monday’s in Walnut Creek at five p.m. The room is full and there are usually sixty plus people there.
Two Safeway’s now use Wi-Fi.
I have not been consistent with my mindfulness these past months. Stress, love of sweets and forgetting about moderation has been a heavy weight on my back. Please send Oprah Winfrey to our meeting on Monday afternoon at five p.m. at Tice Valley Gym in Walnut Creek. I never miss meetings and am honest in my tracking. I need a read boost! I am a very active senior who uses a Walker due to back issues. I help many others and have trouble helping myself. Lovely Linda

Using WeightWatchersProgram makes your life tremendously easier !! Whether it’s at your house or someone else’s great choices can be made without stress added. Before joining weight watchers it took 12 months to lose 40 pounds .Then I went off gained 12 pounds in 4 months. Joined weight watchers and lost 20 pounds in just 4 weeks ,without zero exercise except stretching in bed during commercials. All while eating more than double the amount of food then I could eat before . Good choices and not skipping is key!!! This is a permanent life style not a diet!!!Im leaving for a trip to south padre island and I’m bringing snacks and dressing with me ,So again no stress about what to eat ! My total success came because my wife realized she needed a life style change to!! It took me along time to get her to see that . But my thinking is better later than never!!! Having a spouse life style change with you brings permanent successes. There is no longer pies lying around constantly helping to make bad emotional eating choices. So thanks again wife for working together. I hope this helps other people that working together really brings body and soul health.

WeightWatchersProgram is so easy to use and navigate! It’s never frozen up or given me problems (which is amazing in app world). I really like the iPad version but that could be because it’s a bigger screen and the keyboard makes typing in for tracking easier. The phone app is great when grocery shopping because I can pull up the barcode scanner and see the points associated with different foods. That feature has saved me from buying things that I thought would have had lower points than they did. I also love all the recipes so readily accessible on the site. I star my favorites and also add my own recipes so I can keep track of them as well. Looking up meal points by restaurant name is a cool feature but there are many popular places in my area that aren’t included in the list of restaurants so that’s probably the least useful feature of WeightWatchersProgram for me. If they expand it to include regionally popular restaurants, then it would be more beneficial to me. But, I try to fix my own food at home for the most part so really, WeightWatchersProgram is excellent for helping me be mindful about what I’m eating along with my activity level.

I did WW several years ago, before there was an app. I lost weight, but as soon as I reached goal I quit tracking points because it was such a pain to go into my home office and track after each meal, especially after eating out. If I was on vacation or away from home on business, I couldn’t track at all. Without tracking, I got back into old habits and slowly gained the weight back over the years.

I started again on WW last July and WeightWatchersProgram makes a world of difference! When I go out to eat, WeightWatchersProgram is with me on my phone! Away for business or pleasure? WeightWatchersProgram is with me! Also, they have automatic entries of points for many national restaurant chains. I used it when I went to Olive Garden and Outback with my mother, and I was able to find delicious, sensible things to eat! My phone is always with me, so it makes it super easy to look up point values, make decisions, and track.

In short, I love the portability of WeightWatchersProgram and I love its features. There’s also the ability to chat with a WW coach 24/7! I plan to be using WeightWatchersProgram and tracking for the rest of my life so I can maintain all my hard won losses.
