Weight Watchers Reviews

I love Weight Watchers, it's the only thing that's ever helped me to lose weight and keep it off. I'm learning about portion control and moderation while getting support from a great online community. While not every week is perfect for me, I haven't given up since I started the program in June!

In over 3 weeks I am only at about 5 lb loss. I do not know if I am ** resistant or if something else - my hypothyroid - is keeping me from losing. This is hard. I do not use the extra points and I try to eat real food but still, this seems hard, if not impossible. That’s one thing. The 2nd is that the WW app is not working. I mean it is messed up. It only displays one screen and the writing for the second line is covering up the first one. I cannot make it budge. I’ve uninstalled and re-installed. This is not for publishing. This is a cry for help: on two fronts. Thank you, but this is how I am doing with the program.

The addition of zero foods makes so much sense. I love the flexibility. We know weekends, travel, holidays and other unexpected canaries happen but this program lets you work through it and remain on track toward your goal. I’ve never been happy with plans that limit certain foods, even if only for 2 weeks. This Freestyle Plan works for me!

Although I have due to medical reasons put on some of the weight back WEIGHT WATCHERS helped me in my journey of losing 94lbs... I went from 240lbs to 146lbs and at this moment I’m at 174lbs and losing. But, know one thing that if it wasn’t for WW I would have gained it all back for sure... Thank you Weight Watchers.

I prepare most meals from scratch. It is difficult for me is to calculate the points this way. Is there a simple way to do this without listing each ingredient? Why aren’t there more Weight Watchers selections in freezer or on shelves at grocery stores?

When I hit 55, it seemed like I tried everything and still couldn't lose weight. The WW Freestyle Program has changed that. I have lost an average of a pound a week! I never feel deprived AND I am actually making wiser choices (even while on vacation). I can see myself using this WW plan even after I reach my goal weight. Yay!

I was hesitant to join. I joined 15 years ago and fell through the cracks of too much paperwork and little flexibility. Freestyle has changed my life. I'm losing regularly. I love the app and use it to track and to plan. Thank you, Weight Watchers.

I rated my WW experience 4 stars. I took off a star for meeting location is extremely small. I attend the 64th Street meeting location in Kansas City, MO. People are always left to stand for meetings. The chairs are so close that the leader has trouble moving and giving out awards. More meeting times should be offered for that location as well. I also don’t like how difficult the app can be. You should be able to type in a restaurant and it give the point value from least to greatest. Another issue is that I am in the WW system 3 times because I switched from online only to online & meetings, plus the time I was part of WW years ago. The computer system should catch that and condense to one. I do like the freestyle program and all of the zero foods that have been added. You have excellent WW leaders. I feel supported more than previous programs.

I first walked into a Weight Watchers meeting about 16 years ago. I stayed on the program and lost 25 pounds and went down from a size 16 to a size 6. I have been off and on WW until this year, I decided to join again because I was interested in the Freestyle program. I have not been disappointed. I love it. The app is awesome. It is much more manageable in daily life. I have lost 9 pounds and feel great. So happy that I am back on the program.

First overall the scanner is the highlight. I wish on the iPad/iPhone I could put in manual entries when all I can do is speculate on the points used. I wish I could append favorite items with a clarification of what the item is. Some of the brand descriptions don't cause me to remember what the item is. I wish I could create new combinations/meals more easily and with generic items.

In November of 2015 I was hospitalized until January 29, 2016. During that time I lost a tremendous amount of weight. I was okay with that. When I came home I was able to eat my husband's food again. Unfortunately, I also ate ice cream, candy, and other things I should not have. I gained most of the weight back. I was immobile when I came home, more or less paralyzed from the waist down. Miraculously, I learned to walk again, aided by leg braces and walkers. I decided to lose weight using Weight Watchers. In 3 weeks I have lost 15 pounds and am down 1 pants size. I would like to go down from a 1x to a large size shirt as well. As I am not as mobile as I was before hospitalization, it is a slower process. I am okay with that. If my chronic disease does not recur, I should keep on losing. This program is excellent. Thanks Weight Watchers!

Overall the freestyle program is working very well for me! I do wish though that Weight Watchers would get a bit more on board with the healthy fats like avocados and coconuts, grass fed butter etc... The point factor is way too high for those things. Our brain is made up of fats. We need good fats and they help metabolize foods.

I am very much enjoying this new style of weight watchers. Zero points helps out so much when you’re hungry and don’t have a lot of points to use. I tap into those zero points, instead of feeling like I fell off the wagon and just blew it. I’m really enjoying the freestyle program. I have been going for six weeks and I’m down 28.6 pounds! Thanks so much!

I am a lifelong runner, athlete, and have coached competitive soccer for 32 years. In 2017 after having 7 knee surgeries I ended up with a knee replacement which did not go well and had to be done again. The result was that running was finished for me and at 61 I was finding myself heavier than any time in my life with no real way to do intense exercise. Weight Watchers was a family decision, my daughter and wife also joined with me so we could all get a bit healthier and make better choices. So far so good, it's simple and the options help me make healthier choices.

The weight taking is distracting and loud and distracting from the presenter. The same number of points for each person doesn't seem to work...I stuck to the program for weeks and only had a loss of 3 pounds. I am over 100 one hundred pounds overweight and gave up candy and sodas and more...does not seem to work.

WW is a program that focus not only on weight loss, but lifestyle changes that help an individual maintain their weight loss. The weekly meetings are incredibly helpful because members support each other throughout their journey. The app is one of my favorite parts of the WW program because it makes keeping track of points very easy as well as helping me find foods that fit into my point allotment.

After many failed attempts at losing weight, I made the decision to join Weight Watchers on January 15, 2018. After less than 2 months on the program, I am down 16 pounds. I love attending the meetings. They are fun and informative and my Weight Watchers family is so supportive.

I joined WW online only due to my busy schedule, however, I don't feel like I am missing out on much. You get plenty of articles, get to see people that are having great success and it is easy to track your food and activity daily.

Before Weight Watchers I hated myself. I hated my body and I hated that I hated my body for "wanting" food. I would choose "bad" foods over "good" and then hate myself for being "bad." In order to then be "good," I would make myself vomit... and oh how good that made me feel... for 5 minutes, and then I would hate myself for being that girl.

I love WW and have done the program many times over the past 30+ years. I really love using the app. I wish you could view your total nutrition information with one click. I do like to view total calories and carbs I have eaten. Thank you.

Weight Watchers have given me tools for success. By using the point system has made me more aware of what I consume in my daily diet. It has helped improve my eating habits which has shown in my weight loss. Would recommend to anyone who truly wants to lose weight...

I love the online it helps me lose weight. It really works! Like the online material. I always gain then lose but WW always been my side and helped me through good times as well bad times. I am. a lifetime member and stop WW and started to gain weight. But now getting older I am with it till end.

I like that with Freestyle if I get hungry I can have something I like as long as it stays within the points range. I definitely feel better because I'm eating better. I wish there was a link on the left of the page where I could see My Day as well as the foods for which I am checking points rather than having to get completely out of one page to view the other.

Love love this new program. Was lifetime about 2 1/2 years ago and fell off the bandwagon. I’m back on it now indeterminate. I’m going to get this weight off and keep it off. The new lifestyle program is so easy with apps on my phone and iPad.

Easy to use to track points using the scanner. It’s great not having to count fruit and vegetables because I am a big fruit and veggie person! Would recommend to anyone that wants to lose weight! I am a little worried losing the last 10 lbs because it may become much more difficult as it is now.

I am 70 years old and find that dropping those extra pounds get more difficult and things that once worked for me are not so successful anymore. A friend told me about the Weight Watchers plan and I tried it and though it is slow, I am shedding those pounds. I love that I get foods that I like and enjoy. This plan has conditioned me to exercise portion control. It is so easy with the app to go grocery shopping or in many cases to dine out. You can track your points and make wise choices. Love you, Weight Watchers!!!

I was excited to place my order for snacks but unfortunately, it took a long time to receive my order. I now buy directly from the WW office and will not order online again. Love most of the goodies WW offers though.

I am enjoying this weight loss program and a new way of eating. But the app is very hard to navigate. I have done MyFitnessPal which is much easier and free. Easy to find food and many restaurants are listed. On the WW app the foods are not listed and many restaurants are not listed. I find it very frustrating even logging under the meals. For the amount I'm paying, the app should be complete and easy to navigate.

This is my first organized weight loss attempt. I'm content having lost five pounds in the first five weeks... Although a long way to go. I really like the app, the zero points and the meetings. All effective and supportive. My primary problem is that I eat in non-chain restaurants that are more costly and it is difficult to ascertain points. I wish there was an improved point system for restaurant eating.

Not pleased with Freestyle at all. Besides myself I know of at least 20 others that have gained using this new plan. No opportunity to use old Smart Points like the choice of simply filling. I contacted WW and was told that they were overseas and had no idea about anything regarding the company. A friend who had quit gave me her old point book and since using that I have been losing again. Thinking about leaving WW and using I count my bites which is like the old WW and it is helping me count. You should look at all the weight gain that has occurred and how many have left since the new rollout.

The meetings are very helpful. I like the idea that I am weighed weekly, that keeps me aware of the diet. I have joined before, but this freestyle seems to be the best for me. I pick up good information from meetings.

I have been a member at WW for approximately 4years. I have lost 70 pounds. Following program and going to the weekly meetings (great leader) have made losing weight a breeze. I would recommend anyone to try the program. We can eat anything and still follow program. Losing weight is freeing!

WW has always worked well for me. As long as I stick to it I am good. But sometimes it gets hard, so I need to take it one day at a time. I was a life time member once, at my weight now I could be again. Doing online has been very nice, not having to go to meetings, but sometimes I think it would be good to go to them - always encouraging. So for now, I will continue online towards my goal!!

I've been on WW Freestyle for two weeks now and I've already lost 7.6 pounds! I haven't been as hungry because there are so many 0 point foods and I'm able to eat some of my favorite things because they have introduced rollover! So I have been able to eat a cheat meal on the weekends.

I first joined WW in 1968 as a 16 year old overweight teen. Over the next two years I lost 40 lbs and kept it off for 40 years. In 2008 I became sick with ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and had to retire and stop exercising, as activity exacerbates my symptoms. Since then I have gained 30 lbs. After trying to do the program online without good results, I have begun going to meetings. In my first week I lost 4.4 lbs. I have a long way to go but I'm going to try to stick with it. My age, health and inability to exercise are major barriers to success, but I hope to lost some of the weight I have gained in the last 6 years.

I have done Weight Watchers before and the only time it stopped working is when I stopped working the program. It is great information, great program and exactly what I need. Keep the improvements coming, new and improved keeps me challenged and engaged!

I was over 400 pounds. I had no energy and my legs hurt. I was shutting down and had problems putting on my socks. My beautiful wife was having success with weight watchers. I joined Weight Watchers and started to see results in the first week. I have lost 18 pounds in four weeks. I feel and sleep better. I love the knowledge the program offers. I have energy and my legs have stopped hurting.

Love meetings for the accountability and structure. Wish newbies would asked their repetitive questions till after meeting. Spending 15 minutes at beginning of meeting answering the simplest questions that could be found online with a little effort on their part.

I began Weight Watchers in January since it was offered through my job. The meetings there were somewhat disorganized and I still have yet to receive the welcome gift that was promised. I recently decided to start attending a meeting in my neighborhood and find it much more organized and helpful. I like the concept and even though I cheat here and there am still slowly losing weight. Overall I am happy with the service. I just wish I would receive the promised welcome gift and that the meetings at my place of employment were run better.

A month and a half ago my cousin spoke to me about Weight Watchers. Of course I was skeptical about it. I had tried different ways of losing weight with no satisfaction. I wanted to lose 10 pounds. Mind you I have been trying to lose 10 pounds for about 2yrs. I know that seems like not a lot but for someone who does not lose weight easily it was. The first month was hard but I lost 5 pounds. I was about to give up when I woke up one day and BAM I had gone done to 148 from 156. I was so excited I kept going. Now I’m at my goal weight of 145 and I think I will continue to go further. Thanks weight watchers for this amazing program.

I was on WW before and lost weight fairly easy and in good time about 3 years ago with that program. Then went back with the PointsPlus and Lost and was very satisfied with these 2 programs. I am now on the Freestyle needing to lose some weight and not having the success I did with the other 2 programs. I have shared this with others on WW and they have said the same thing. I'm not liking the Freestyle, it is not working for me and I become discouraged. Never felt that way about the programs. I do all of my tracking and get my info online. I do not attend meetings. Never have. I went to one meeting and it was not for me, but online worked in the past for me great. Now I'm thinking about ending my membership because I feel waste of my money. Just wanted to share the Freestyle does not work for me.

Love the online option! I have lost 25 pounds in 2 months. The site is very user friendly! Love the scanner, recipe ideas, daily encouragement, and everything about WW online!!! I am so happy that I made this choice for my journey. I weigh in At home weekly and love watching my graph trend down!!!

It is very easy to track points with app and online. My goal is to lose to get down to 190 lbs. I started at 229 lbs. I have been on the program since the beginning of the year. I do feel hungry on this program. I like the rollover system and the bonus points. It has allowed me to go to dinner on Friday and have beers and not worry about losing weight for the week. I have lost weight each week and feel that I am losing at a pace that I will be able to maintain my goal weight once reached.

I am so glad I joined this program. I love the staff and the people at my meeting. I do have to say one has to try different meetings to see what Leader and people are the best fit For you. I have embraced the program and close to goal. Don’t think I could have done this alone. I’ve met great people and have many new friends who share the same interests and mindset. Thank you. I wish the weigh in cycles would go from Monday to Sunday rather than Sunday through Saturday. Also Friday evening classes would be appreciated when I have out of town weekend plans.

I like that Weight Watchers is science-based and accurate over the test of time. It's not gimmicky. It works because it doesn't happen overnight. The app is also a wonderful place to find fellow users for support. I like the app's tracking methods a lot.

I am a 73 yr old woman who has been a faithful WW member for going on 4 years. I only had about 25 lbs to lose, so I thought I'd nip it in the bud. The Points Plus Program worked well for me and I became lifetime 3 years ago. If I went up a little I knew what to do to get back down for weight in day. UNTIL FREESTYLE! I thought it sounded good until I started gaining weight! Not lots but I was always over goal at weigh in. I thought well give it time, so I did. I faithfully counted my points and also get a decent amount of activity points a week (50 points) which I don't know how this translates into any extra points I can eat. I just don't count them into the weight loss equation.

I love being able to search restaurants and their food, however, it would be more efficient if there was a way to save our favorite restaurant (instead of scrolling through the list every time!) just like we can save our favorite meals. Even better, if we could save our favorites for each favorite restaurant too!

Overall I am very satisfied with WW. Diet is easy to understand, easy to follow. Less than satisfied with how it links with my Fitbit - I have to Revoke Access/Reallow every day! Really wish they could fix this - reviews I've read say the problem is on WW side.

I began Weight Watchers about a month and a half ago and have lost about 20lbs. The external accountability and the ease of using the app have made the biggest difference to me. The (mostly) ladies at the meetings have been really kind and supportive to a mid-40s guy whose been struggling with his weight since having kids. Figuring out how to live a healthy lifestyle is much easier with external support and accountability and Weight Watchers has made a huge difference for me in these respects.

I have done Weight Watchers a couple of times but this new program is a lot easier to follow and stay in track! I also love the community to connect and ask questions! I love all the zero point foods! It helps a lot! I do wish the program wasn’t so expensive.

I started 4 weeks ago and I’ve lost around 8 pounds. It’s slow but it encourages you to eat healthy. I also enjoy the Connect community and am pleased with online only. I work 40 plus hours a week and don’t always get the same day off so online works best for me.

This is probably the 4-5th time I’ve done WW. I’ve only been on Program for 3 weeks this time and have lost 11.4 pounds. I LOVE the Freestyle program!! It is so easy and filling and I love that it promotes the high protein/low carb lifestyle. The app is amazing. Thank you for discontinuing the days of searching the various pocket guides! It is so easy to use the app and really it’s idiot proof??? I’m a mother of 5 under 8 years of age and I appreciate the simplicity and swiftness the app provides. I had triplets last year and I actually put off going back to WW because I was afraid I wouldn’t have time to commit to it. My only regret is that I didn’t start up sooner but I’m thankful to be on the program.

I have not struggled with weight loss until the last few years. I tried doing it on my own and lost only 5 pounds in 1 year. Now, 5 weeks in, I have lost 11.6 pounds. 17 more and I will meet my goal. The WW recipes allow me to cook delicious meals.

I have been on WW in the past, Sometimes I felt a little deprived. Since I started WW (Free Style) two months ago I've lost 10 pounds and with all the free foods I don't feel deprived at all. I absolutely love the new program.

I have had success with Weight Watchers throughout the years, since becoming a lifetime member in 1985. Their etools makes it super easy to follow. Unfortunately I have fallen off the bandwagon a few times, but when I get back on track the program truly works.

I have returned to Weight Watchers after 20 years. I love the new Freestyle program! It is so easy to be successful with the wide variety of zero point foods! I’m so thankful to find a healthy eating plan I can live with for life!!

I track everything twice. I also was sparkpeople.com because I get a better picture of what I'm eating nutritionally. I found I was staying within my points but was not eating enough fat or carbs. My weight loss stopped because my body was holding on to everything as a response.

Just starting and found the app easy to use. Like any new experience the key to succeeding is to make following the program a habit. The only request I would make is to have a way to add restaurants that are local to each user's area code.

I have tried losing weight by cutting calories but saw no improvement in a year. After doing WW for seven weeks, I have lost seven pounds. The new points system seems to work magic. I eat even more fruit and veggies then I did in the past. I'm very happy.

Has been a very helpful tool in weight loss. Easy to use and helpful. The community behind it is amazing in motivating and helping with any questions or concerns. The recipes are excellent and easy to make. Nothing no that your local supermarket would have on hand.

I've found it very easy to follow and my meeting is one of the best, so supportive and informative. Love online tracking and Freestyle. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a little help and support. I also love the recipes, the food you can buy and the cookbooks are very helpful.

I really like the Freestyle program. It has been relatively easy to follow and I like the range of selection. My only concern is that I'm eating fewer whole grains because of the higher point count. I understand that the higher fat content of whole grains makes their points higher than that of refined grains (e.g. brown versus white rice), but it seems like there should be some consideration for the nutritional benefit of whole grains.

I would absolutely recommend this plan because I have been on it before for several years and love it. Love the flexibility and all the online tools to checkpoints & restaurants. The FreeStyle plan is amazing & love all the zero point foods. So many diets today want you to start with a cleanse, drink hot lemon water, etc. Weight Watchers is a common sense, healthy eating with portion control. So glad to be doing Weight Watchers!

In 2015, I had lost 107 pounds. Then my life changed drastically. Over the course of 3 years, I gained it all except 25 pounds. I know WW works so I rejoined a month ago. I love the new program and I’m seeing results. Not just weight loss, but my energy is coming back and I feel mentally better.

I have recently re-joined WW and the process to weigh is so much easier and quicker. The plan is fabulous, easy to follow, love the phone application. Some of the classes I have attended could use a bit more content. It seems you're leaving the discussion up to the members. Some people just don’t like to talk in front of others.

The meetings are so upbeat. The leaders and the members provide important information. It's really inspiring. The weigh in is not intimidating. They sincerely want you to succeed. I really enjoy seeing all the friendliness amongst the members. I don't know if they met there, or came together, but it's great.

I was in a drought with but with weight lose but when I saw the commercial with Oprah Winfrey it was like a renew wakening and I love that is online experiences. I love the point system. I gotten very lazy and didn't hardly move. So now I'm loving the activity section. And online experiences. I have lost 13.9 pounds and I started January 8th 2018.

Easy to follow plan with many food options. I love the freestyle points! The freestyle points allows me to satisfy cravings but still have a variety of zero point options to keep hunger away. Eggs and chicken on that list is a great way to get protein.

I am following the program exactly as prescribed and have lost 2.5 pounds in 7 weeks. I was hoping to lose 5 pounds by week 7. I’ve had people look at my account to see what I’m eating and the only thing they have said is to be patient.

I love my leader & her substitutes also. They are energetic, informative & inspiring. Have been to WW on & off for years and I love this new freestyle. I have been doing it only four weeks & lost over 10 lbs. I am more focused about what I eat that is more healthy. The group shares on Facebook the recipes they make. I love the 3 pt bagels. It's real easy to go out to eat too.

I have been on Weight Watchers about five weeks now and have lost almost 14 lbs. I have been able to still eat foods that I love and average about 2 lbs a week or so. I have struggled with trying to lose weight since I had my second child 30 years ago. I have a lot to lose but am excited that with Freestyle I can do it.

On February 13th, 2018 I spoke with VAL from your customer service area regarding the poor WW iPhone app response. Let me say first off that he was extremely helpful and tried earnestly to help my situation. After no success, he took down my information and told me I would hear from someone in the WW tech department to assist me. I should anticipate a call back from them within 48 hours maximum. The Ref # assigned to me was **. Again, he tried his best and my dissatisfaction does not lie with him. He waived next month's $42.00 charge for me which was also appreciated although not quite what I was expecting.

WW is a great program! I absolutely LOVE Freestyle! I have been on WW before and have lost some, but with Freestyle, it's like the weight just falls off, and I'm eating everything I love!! Definitely the best program out there in my opinion!!!

I love this new program. I never feel deprived. I started on Dec 28. So far I have lost close to 25 lbs. Between the new program and my goal of keeping up with my grandchildren at Disney World in October. I am having success.

I love it! I love being held accountable to what you are that day. I’ve found prepping for the week the easiest to stay on track and the add makes it simple to do this. I love the “you're doing great” messages it sends.

I was about 10 pounds overweight and decided to try Weight Watchers challenge. I lost 6 pounds in six weeks. I have 4 more to lose in 8 weeks. As I follow religiously the point system along with exercise I hope to make my goal. I feel better with that extra weight off.

I have lost “big weight” three times in my life, and tried many unsuccessful programs and gimmicks. All three times have been WW, WW, and WW. I know the only program that is for me is the WW lifestyle. So I am thankfully back again to live that new lifestyle. I am grateful that the program changes continuously to provide the latest nutritional excellence. The newest Freestyle is convenient and easy to follow and is proving successful. The app is a relevant tool and helps me to remain focused on the program. Thank you WW!

I am currently trying to Freestyle. The experience has been mixed. After 4 weeks I have lost 6 lbs. not earth shaking but loss never the less. I can definitely see this as a sustainable lifestyle change. However I see myself getting down about the slow wait loss. The material, tools, recipes are phenomenal. I am hanging in there.

Well, this is not my first rodeo with Weight Watchers and thinking about it now, I don't know why there should have ever been more than one. The freestyle program has been wonderful for me. I love coming to the meetings for my time. I feel very focused this time and the weight is coming off. I love the program and can't wait to hit my goal and have the program help me stay there.

The leader is outstanding, his name is Charles. The meeting location at Rosedale mall itself is too small but parking is good. I wish WW would add back charms at every 5 pounds. Currently they stop at 10 but I feel they are motivating.

I have lost 5 pounds. I am on vacation now and do not have scales. But I am struggling to stay in my point. I am satisfied with my progress with Weight Watchers. I was never able to lose even 5 pounds on my own. I have 5 or 7 more pounds to go.

Love the new program. It is so easy to follow and stay on track. Within 6 weeks I have lost 20 pounds and most of all regained my energy and self esteem. My husband is also following the program and dropping pounds too.

To start with the positives - the app makes tracking what I eat easy. The 200 "free" items worries me a little, but it's nice to have go to items that you can count on, without counting. On the con side - the welcome kit was not useful. Steamer, cutting tool, and cutting board all went to goodwill. The egg poacher at least works. The first time I used the chat feature pop-up, their answer was Google it. Hmm I'm paying 17$ a month for Google It answers? You cannot import a recipe on the website. All in all I wish I didn't have a 6 month commitment.

Point system is easy to follow. Lost 8 pounds in 5 weeks. This plan has changed how I make better food choices. So many zero point foods... and many delicious choices. The cookbooks are great too. I have favorite chicken and fish recipes that are easy to prepare.

Became a lifetime member in early 80's and kept weight under control for years. For various reasons started gaining a few years ago. Returned to WW in May and have lost 39 lbs. At 80 years old am feeling great and health has improved. I love Freestyle and getting the charms is fun.

I am so glad I finally took the plunge and joined Weight Watchers. I did the old program (like it was still a paper handout) when I was in high school and lost about 20 lbs. I’m now almost 30 yrs old. My highest weight was 298 lbs. I lost about 75-80 lbs on my own. After some health issues I stopped trying and my weight loss stopped. I knew I needed to make a lifestyle change and not just go on another diet.

The service and team are excellent. However, I’ve been tracking and realized if I want to lose weight I can’t eat all the points. It’s too much. I’m counting calories and that’s not convenient. You need to bring back portion control. People need to learn portion and with Freestyle we don’t.

I’ve recently rejoined Weight Watchers, but will be cancelling my membership. I am not happy with the current Freestyle program. It feels like a diet and not a lifestyle change. I am forced to eat certain foods to stay within my daily point range. I am losing very little weight while working the program. I will be going back to the Beyond The Scale program and using an app to track my points. I had success on that program and had the freedom to eat the foods I enjoy.

I joined WW because I knew I needed accountability and support. Our Saturday morning visits provide that, and because they stay on schedule, they fit very well into my weekend schedule. The leader, Leslie is very encouraging and supportive. She knows the program because she lives it. Bravo!

Although the weight loss is very slow I appreciated the new program because it’s doable... you don’t have feelings of deprivation and you feel like this is a plan you can live with without an end as you don’t have to give up anything forever, you just learn to make choices and delay gratification.

I cannot believe how easy Weight Watchers has become! The days of writing down everything that you eat are gone. I love using the WW app and the bar code scanner is wonderful. Also very happy with the restaurant guide! Thank you for making weight loss so easy! From a former “lifetime member”.

Have done WW three times, each time losing weight steadily and healthily. I gained weight back when off the plan becoming less accountable and resorting to old counterproductive habits. The new Freestyle plan is very easy to follow and helps me feel healthier. It is easy to pinpoint unhealthy eating, the electronic tools are easy and fun to use, the food diary and weight tracking help my motivation and tracking exercise is increasing that as well. All in all very favorable feelings and I use the program in the simplest way, not accessing features such as support meetings.

I started the new Freestyle plan on January 3rd. And I've lost almost 25 pounds! I love the flexibility to eat foods I love (eggs, beans, and vegetables) and not have to sit around counting tons of points. When I've gotten off track it's been very easy to get back on. I have recommended this plan to a lot of my family and friends. I am motivated and excited to lose more!

I joined Weight Watchers when I gained 15 pounds in one year and knew that if I did not address it I would continue to gain and my weight would soon become an issue. I chose WW because it was more of a lifestyle than a "diet". I could continue to eat the things I liked, but with guidelines for portion control and being more aware of what I was eating.

Over the years I’ve tried several different WW programs. Freestyle is my favorite! I joined after the 1st of the year & have dropped 15 lbs! With over 200 free foods you never go hungry! I highly recommend WW to anyone looking for a lifestyle that really works!

I am a Weight Watchers member online and I go to meeting. The staff and group leader are fantastic and I personally like to weigh in at meeting see it written down. The meeting are very supportive and that thirty minutes keeps me refocused on goal. If you trust the Weight Watchers system it will work. The Freestyle Program is very easy to follow.

I love the WW app and have found success with this program once again. I'm a mom of two girls and a full time college student. I don't have time for meetings, but with the connect section in the app I don't feel like I'm missing anything!

I joined Weight Watchers a few years ago and lost a lot of weight. When I got close to my goal weight, I fell off plan and eventually gained all my weight back. This time around, I am two months in, making better choices and down 16 pounds. The program is great!

My wife, Anne, and I decided to join Weight Watchers together. This way we can help each other achieve our goals. We have been WW members in the past, but the Freestyle system seems to be working for us. We are fruit lovers and with fruit at zero points, that is great. I am close to losing 25 pounds and Anne has lost 15. Still a way to go, but we feel like this will be a long term relationship with WW this time.

I am a 63 year old woman and wanted to make a life change to be healthier! I didn’t want a diet - I only needed to lose 10 lbs. I wanted to teach myself life habits when it came to food choices, get a focus on portion control, reduce my sugar level as it was in the prediabetic stage. Weight Watchers is an awesome learning tool. I also incorporated all of our dinners for my 85 year old father and 67 year old husband into what I was making for myself for dinner - every once in a while I will give them a different meal from myself where they can have their less healthy foods!

I have been very successful on Weight Watchers in the past, but recently started the new Freestyle program and have literally lost Zero pounds!! I am always very strict watching everything I eat, but this new program just isn’t working for me!! I wish WW would give us a choice of which program we would like to follow!! I am so discouraged this time and ready to throw in the towel and go a different route!!

I signed up for a promotion offered for 3 month membership to WW for $29.97. On 2/1 PayPal deducted the enrollment fee from my checking account. Then I noticed ANOTHER enrollment deduction in 2/14. I called on my bank and they said to call WW. I called and the representative said they deducted again so that I could get my membership card in the mail??? I already did and then got another one in the mail 2/24. I told her that is NOT what’s I signed up for and she said there was nothing they could do. I contacted my WW leader and she’s going to try and help me. My brother in law died from cancer yesterday and this was the last thing I needed to be dealing with. Not impressed at all.

I joined in January of 2018 and I’ve enjoyed the program. I find it can be very difficult to track food though because the same thing can be in there 7-8 ways with different point values for each one of those options. I never know which one to pick or which one is accurate. It would be nice if the company could go in and figure out for example a 1/4 of an avocado truly has 2 points and fat rid of the rest. That would make the program much more enjoyable and easier because then you’d feel like you’re doing it correctly.

I have tried WW many times in the past (both meetings and online only). Have always failed or given up because of hunger in plan or counting points became tedious. This new plan is the bomb!! It works!! Have lost 12 lbs in just over a month. I am satiated and there is less tracking required due to all the zero point foods. Love it!!! Only wish there good meetings close to me.

Liberal I’m living the new Freestyle program. So much easier than before with all the zero point options. I just wish building a recipe within the app was easier. Why can we scan to add foods, yet we can’t use scan barcode when building a recipe? I’d like to be able to use the barcode scanner. I’d also like to be able to share recipes with friends. My neighbor and I are doing this together. She is the lucky recipient of my cooking lately. All she can do is quick add the points. She would like to be able to actually put in the recipe so she has is available to use as well. Again, still a fantastic program. The app just needs a couple tweaks. I know these things are possible because I utilized them with the MyFitnessPal app.

Love the app. Super helpful having the barcode scanner. Would’ve rated a 5 except sometimes searching for an item to count points is confusing. I.e. searching for an item and getting several results for it not knowing which to pick.

I have stopped and started WW several times, and have realized nothing works as good as this program. I’m back to stay this time. Love the flexibility this program offers! I can structure my day/week to eat whatever I want.

I love the new Freestyle Program from Weight Watchers! It’s helping me focus on adding lean protein and veggies to my daily menu. The support from the Connect community motivates and inspires me, while reminding me that a healthy lifestyle is a journey worth taking.

I love Weight Watchers freestyle and the Weight Watchers app! After trying many diets with little results only to put the weight back on and then some. I received Weight Watchers as a birthday gift and what a gift it is! I have lost 21.6 lbs in 9 weeks and I never feel hungry. I need to buy new clothes but in a good way, all my clothes are too big!!! Weight Watchers you rock! I will sing your name to all my friends.

The meetings are not at convenient times. I live an hour away from meeting locations in my area. The times are limited as to when the meetings occurs. I have met my goal weight and would like to be able to become a lifetime member and to have the benefits that go along with that status. I have lost all my weight without ever going to a meeting, and I really wish that I could just walk in to a Weight Watchers location and weigh when I am already in town so I can receive my lifetime voucher number. Thank you.

Have been a member several times, including WW at Work. Always was successful but did not achieve Lifetime status (goal weight) until 2013 when I found Andrea who leads & am mtg in Montclair, NJ. I recently returned to get back to goal weight & learn about Freestyle. Was within 2 lbs of goal in just 5 wks & thus eligible for free e-tools which are fabulous. Even though I only have to weigh in once a month, I plan to attend mtgs regularly as Andrea is still there and I enjoy the support of the Fri am group. I have been on many WW plans since the 80’s but Freestyle is definitely the easiest. I am loving it & make many of the recipes which are excellent. I urge anyone who wants to lose weight to give WW Freestyle a try. You won’t be sorry.

When using the app, I wish there were a way to share recipes/meals that you’ve created in either a text or email format. I find it hard to replay the message to other WW people about a recipe I’ve created within the app.

I have been on WW for 7 week and am down 10 lbs. Weight Watchers online gives me tools I need to track my meals via points and helps me see what my good habits and poor habits are, which help me stay on track. I would recommend this program to anyone. The WW community made of men and women are so incredible supportive. It's nice to be on this weight loss journey with others because WW brings us all together with their "connect" portion of the app. Nobody is ever alone on their journey. It's empowering, inspiring and I can reach my goals with WW!

I love the new freestyle program. It really guides me to eat very healthily and to be accountable. I've been on the program for 5 weeks and I've lost around 13 pounds and feel so much better! It's nice to go to meetings and surround myself with others that are striving for the same health goals.

I joined Weight Watchers online because I had tried unsuccessfully for several months to put on pounds that were creeping up on me. I wanted to develop better eating habits and lose those extra pounds. It has been a month since I joined and on the average I have been losing 2 pounds a week while eating food that is healthy and full of flavor. The program works and I am glad that I joined.

I have been a lifetime member of WW for over 30 years. I have hit my goal weight many times over but whenever I stop coming to meetings, my weight slowly creeps back up. I always go back and never feel shamed in any way. This is the best program out there. It teaches you how to eat real food every day. I love the new program which gives me more 0 point options. Every year WW makes changes for the better.

So far WW has been fabulous. I do wish artificial sweeteners like ** and sucralose/Splenda weren’t in most WW products and recipes. They are horrible for the body. I don’t need to trade one bad habit for another. Giving members more plan options might helpful too. And lastly, you don’t need a program for teens!!!

I recently joined Weight Watchers after trying other diets unsuccessfully. I love the new Freestyle diet because I am not deprived of the snacks and sweets I love. I just have to use my points wisely. I eat a lot of free point foods and I eat out frequently. I like how I can use the restaurant feature to see what I can have at various restaurants. I am losing slowly but feel this is one plan I can stick to!

I have only been on Weight Watchers for 2 months and have already lost 10 lbs. Easiest program I have EVER been on. I would recommend to anyone. I'm older and losing weight had grown increasingly difficult, but not with Weight Watchers. It is definitely a lifestyle change... And I have given up nothing. So if you are thinking about it, JOIN. YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT. And meetings are not necessary to lose weight... BEST WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM EVER.

I love the online system. Easy to scan barcodes, track foods, and find support via Connect. I am a bit shy and this is working better than meetings for me. I am accountable to my iPad! So easy to use. Down 20 pounds since Jan 1st, even though a took a five day cruise in mid January.

I’ve joined Weight Watchers several times over the years. The freestyle plan is by far my favorite because it’s the right mix of tracking foods I should be mindful of and just simply making good choices. I have trouble following through without the accountability of a system, so only “having” to track some foods gives me the ownership I need to continue eating well after I reach my goal. Love it!

I have really enjoyed using the online mobile app. No matter where I am I am able to find something to eat and keep in range. My only request is to fix the restaurant guide. Sort it in order of points low to high for the order quickly. It would be better yet if you could sort it by category and then by points low to high. That is the number one issue I’ve had. Otherwise, I have really enjoyed the app and scan options. I use Connect to help me find the best food brands to stay low points.

I have struggled with my weight after having kids. Then when I hit 50 it became more difficult. My husband and I joined Weight Watchers FreeStyle and in 6 weeks I have lost 15 pounds. This lose has taken me under 200 which I have not seen for around five years. With the app, it is easy to track my meals and maintain consistent healthy eating habits. Thank you Weight Watchers.

I think WW does a great job helping you be aware of what you are eating and puts boundaries on how much you eat. This is exactly what I needed, and with the new list of 200 zero point foods, I am able to manage what's going into my body much better than before. My biggest complaint/concern about the program is the amount it encourages the consumption of sugar-free, low-fat, artificial sweeteners, etc. I know how bad these can be for your body and get frustrated at times that they promote eating these types of things. They might be less calories, but they have so much more "junk" in them. I would love to see the program encourage changing of habits to promote long-term success. Almost a combination of whole 30 principles with the points system.

I was so inspired by Oprah and the other ladies in your commercials, I had to try. The program is really easy to follow. I love the mobile app to track everything. I follow recipes and have lost 18lbs as of this morning. So happy I started the journey.

I rejoined Weight Watchers in January of 2018. Weight Watchers has always worked for me in the past. The Freestyle program is not what I expected from Weight Watchers. They are always making adjustments to their plans to improve them. This "new" plan is not working out very well for me. The points allotment and the food points system has been adjusted to allow for all of these "free" foods. 200 hundred free foods to choose from! I am very hungry on this new Weight Watchers plan.

I’m so glad that I choose WW, I was so skeptical but the program really works, I don’t deprive myself of eating almost anything, the meetings are so motivating. Definitely WW changed the game of losing weight! I would recommend the program to anyone, in fact I’m doing it. Love it.

I’ve been a WW member for 17 years and finally, after the introduction of Smart Points, I felt as if the program was working for me. With Smart Points I lost a total of 115 pounds, but that success has now ended with the latest WW Freestyle program. Since WW introduced Freestyle back in November of 2017, I have gained back nearly 28 pounds! When I contacted an in-app counselor, they said I didn’t deserve to be lifetime because I didn’t work hard enough. Really? 6 Days a week I wake up at 4:30 am to hit the gym by 5 am.

I have been a member of WW off, and on for many years. I still remember using the sliding cards to check points. :) In 2012 PointsPlus helped me succeed by losing 38lbs before my wedding. Then Smartpoints came along, and I LOVED it. I was doing great. Dropped 36lbs, I was so motivated. I was feeling great, sharing my WW success with everybody. Earned tons of charms. I was losing every week, even the week after Thanksgiving. I was super proud of that.

I have used WW for multiple years with great success. I used to say that Weight Watchers was the only plan that worked because it was easy to fit into real life. I had tried and failed every other plan out there. I say "used to" because after the introduction of Freestyle, I no longer feel it is something I can do for life. This so-called lifestyle now felt very restrictive and like a diet. And ironically, one I couldn't I lose weight by following!!!

Two years ago I lost 20 lbs on the old program. Since gaining 10 lbs back I decided to start again with the Freestyle program. I have followed it to a T and exercise 4 times a week. I haven't lost 1 ounce. I'm so frustrated and disappointed. Not really sure what to do from here. I know the old program works. It was easy and after a couple of weeks I was losing weight every week. How do I go back to the old program?

I had been following Weight Watchers for about a year and was successful with losing weight. I still have a ways to go. Weight Watchers changed their food plan to Freestyle, and no longer supports SmartPoints. I not only quit losing weight, I started gaining by following this new plan. I do not feel it has been well researched. I also feel like WW does not care anymore about their clients concerns with the Freestyle. The attitude is no longer one of support. They don’t want to hear concerns. Very disappointed. Myself and several friends have dropped the program. The commercials say "no weighing or tracking", yet when I was gaining, that is the first thing I was asked- “Are you measuring your foods”?

After doing Weight Watchers for around 2 months and losing 5 pounds, I unfortunately lost my job. Because of this I am having to cancel all of my extra expenses in order to afford food, gas, and rent. I've had no issue cancelling with other companies, but Weight Watchers is a different story. I sent them a note stating my current situation and asking if there was any way they could cancel my subscription without charging me the cancellation fee since I honestly don't even have that much money in my account.

Following the Smart Points system I lost 40 lbs. Since the change over I gained a crazy amount back. The new plan relies on self control, if I had that I would not have needed WW in the first place. I had a meetings membership and have just downgraded to an online only for 3 months. Once that is up I will be leaving. I have several friends I signed up shortly before we heard there was going to be a change, they are not doing well either as they had just gotten a handle on smart points and were doing well only to be thrown under the bus. Access to both plans would have been nice, truly giving us a choice instead of being forced into a program (essentially simply filling) that for myself never worked.

I joined Weight Watchers a few months ago when SmartPoints were still being used and had great success (losing on average 1 to 2 lbs. per week). Now that Freestyle has been introduced I feel that there is no real reason to stay with the program as this does not assisted me with my major problem, OVEREATING. While losing weight on SmartPoints I was already choosing the healthy foods (chicken, seafood, beans, etc.), but now I seem to be eating them in excess. For me Weight Watchers no longer provide any tools for me to track and keep myself on track/accountable while attempting to adjust to portions sizing.

I loved my Weight Watchers experience from the moment I started it in February of last year. It worked fabulously and I lost 50 pounds... then came Freestyle... and suddenly I am gaining. I worked so hard and felt so great... and now, at only about 30 lbs. away from my goal, I feel like I am undoing it all with this new plan. I also now have a new coach, who repeats "give it time, my dear", instead of helping me find what I may be doing wrong. I am tired of giving it time... I'm already having to get into pants I had already thrown in the "donate" pile. My health depends on this, and I feel that this is not what I joined for, and have been paying for. Considering saying goodbye...

I have found Weight Watchers to be the most incompetent, uncaring and downright awful company I have ever had the misfortune to get involved with. I joined Weight Watchers about 2 months ago. When I first joined I received a receipt for my payment which I was able to claim a refund on from my health fund. When I tried to claim for the second payment I was consistently ignored on the helpline and when I asked my coach for a receipt she told me to call Weight Watchers. I did and they told me to email them.

Well I started Weight Watchers back in 2000 with the winning points program straight out of high school. It's the only thing that ever worked and I still have my old friend, the points finder. I have given all of these new updates plans a try and nothing compares to losing my first pound on that realistic plan resulting in a total of 52lbs. The new freestyle plan is more like a diet and not what Weight Watchers used to stress, "a lifestyle change". Zero point foods are good but I agree with a lot of people, how much chicken, fish and eggs can you eat? I had a heart attack last year and eggs are not my main goal for cholesterol problems. And let's be realistic, love chocolate, burgers and Pepsi. I felt a lot better knowing that drinking one can a day for three points versus the nine points now was ok.

I was contacted by a corporate representative today and am happy with the resolution. I think it is imperative that companies employ representatives that engage in excellent customer service if they want to retain customers. Since my husband and I both had subscriptions as well as my daughter, I was very surprised at the responses from the first several representatives, who didn’t seem to care in the least if all three of us cancelled, which seemed very short-sighted. But I am satisfied with the outcome, although I don’t believe it would have been resolved today unless I had written this public review and corporate was contacted. Customers shouldn’t have to do this.

Very disappointed in first meeting with the leader being not polite to male patron when he asked a question. Searching for another meeting, but continue with weekly weigh ins. Finding the Freestyle program challenging at times... Scanning the barcodes & what's in printed booklets don't match.

After being on the Weight Watchers online Freestyle program for over a month I have yet to lose one pound. I have followed the program religiously keeping track of my daily points and never going over my daily allotted total of 33 points. I will admit that my activity levels are probably not what they should be but to not lose a single pound is very discouraging and disappointing. I have a hard time believing you can have as many zero point foods as you want and still lose weight. After signing up for the 3 month program I will give the program another two months. If I don't see any results by then I will not renew my membership.

After trying the new freestyle program for a while, I canceled my WW membership and now use an app that allows me to go back to the smart points program that I have lost over 50 lbs on in the last year. I do not feel that the freestyle program gives me more freedom... I feel the opposite. I don't want to eat eggs and beans a lot, and I like other meats than chicken, turkey and fish. My husband has lost a lot of weight in the last year with smart points as well, and he doesn't like the new program either. He will soon be cancelling his WW too and using an app to go back on smart points. Why change things that were working well? I have used probably every WW program over the years, and this freestyle one is the only one I haven't liked.

I decided to join WW because I was ready to be conscious about healthier choices. I knew I would never measure food (not realistic to me), and the new program caught my eye. I figured why not try it out for 6 months. When I started, I only had 12 pounds to lose to get to my goal weight. What I have learned: track what you are eating, plan for meals eating out and exercise 3-5 days a week. If I am eating lunch or dinner out, I will have a 0 point egg white with veggie breakfast. Most importantly, this is NOT a diet -- it is a lifestyle change since you can eat whatever you want, but just in moderation. Since I don't have to measure chicken breast or salmon, I love the program. It truly works if you are honest with yourself.

Taking away all other plans, removing choices to use the plan that works, AND when I read that some smaller good-for-you-snacks were not in the zero-foods because “they’re too easy to overeat” I knew the science behind Weight Watchers point system had taken a backseat to dictatorship. From that point I felt like I couldn’t trust them anymore. For the first time in years I cancelled my account because I GAINED weight on the program.

I attempted to cancel my plan and was told I would have to pay a $64.95 cancellation fee. The agent informed me I had agreed to it which I did not. He informed me that the terms and conditions were at the bottom of the page. I informed him that they were not. I investigated and discovered that they are there BUT... they are not visible unless you scroll down. There is no indication that you need to scroll down. You can select your plan and proceed through the purchase without scrolling down. I have a large monitor and it was not visible.

I belong to an at-work group and after They collected our re-enrollment payments, WW changed to the FreeStyle plan. It doesn’t work for me and it is not what I paid for. I called WW and spoke to a cust service representative who told me they can’t refund my money. I gave the plan a chance, about 2 months, and after gaining 8 lbs made my decision. I don’t like the 0 points foods, so it makes it impossible to stay within the points allowed and then you’re starving. I did not sign up for this plan and I want my money back.

I love how Weight Watchers has grown its community. In particular, I love the way they have ambassadors on Instagram. For someone who does not attend meetings, this has been helpful for inspiration and guidance. I also the love the Freestyle system. It really does make it feel less of a diet and more of a way of life.

I lost 17 pounds on WW smart points - love my meeting leader and my group and found it very doable. I'm at goal so the switch to Freestyle hasn't impacted me much and I really do understand the thinking behind it. I'm just sad that if existing members are leaving and struggling, that a company owned by Oprah Winfrey wouldn't try to offer the smart points option for those that still want it. Isn't it just two versions of a WW app? You could choose smart points app and Freestyle app, and heck, the smart points app existed until so recently. Isn't a version still around?

I have only been doing this new program for about a month. I did Weight Watchers about 5 years ago and after losing 70 lbs. I decided that I was good and managed to put it all back on. After finally deciding to commit again I started about a month ago and have already lost 15 lbs. Not hard to do when you make the decision that every meal does not need dessert. So far I really like the new program, and it is working. I just need to stick with it for the long haul.

I am not happy with the program changing periodically. I miss the chat boards that were attached to the WW site... and am unhappy WW took them away. I do not like Connect. it is like an Instagram and I do not like it. Meetings membership is too expensive for me.

I have been an online only member since the beginning of January 2018 and a previous member from 2001/2002. So far, so good, I have lost 11 lbs. WW Freestyle is working for me, I am more conscious of what and how much I am eating at a meal and snacks. One week I only lost .4 oz and was a little discouraged and my next approach was to evaluate my previous days and make little changes like exercising more and planning my meals ahead of time - bam - the change paid off - I lost more that week. I thought due to pre-menopausal I couldn't lose weight - WW Freestyle broke that myth and I am the proof :).

I have been a lifetime WW since 1998. I have done every program since exchanges for milk, fruit, meat, etc. I have confidently accepted and wholeheartedly worked every plan I have ever been given by WW. Freestyle was no different. I enthusiastically worked and worked for weeks to gain weight. When looking for support I was sad to be told to keep at it, trust the program, be patient. More gaining, indigestion, feelings of failure. I finally started to question WW "science". Upon going back to a 30sp beyond the scale tracking method... I lost weight consistently and have ever since.

I have been an online user of Weight Watchers since April of 2012, so almost 6 years. I continued to pay for the program even when I wasn't actively following it because I knew it worked. I started on Points Plus and lost a significant amount. Then I quit following it and coasted for a while. Then in November of 2016, I decided to get serious again. The program at the time was SmartPoints. It took some adjusting from the former Points Plus plan, but I kept at it and lost over 50 lbs. It works as a lifestyle change and I think it is very adaptable for everyday life.

I enjoy my volunteer position & definitely see the need for it; however just wish I actually “did” more. A lot of my time involves just sitting, waiting for visitors to check in. It would be nice if there was “busy“ work to do in between.

I have been on Weight Watchers for several years... on and off. Recently I had been on for one yr and had the best year ever. I got below a weight that I never knew I could, I loved the whole thing. If I went overweight, I would go into my points and start my journey to get back on track. This was the best program. I loved it better than past years... then Freestyle started. You changed from a lifestyle of eating to a strict diet. Believe me we have plenty of those out there. Get back to our 30 pts and leave the 23 behind... Or give us a choice, would that be possible?? This is almost like a Bait and Switch. What we paid for and started we are no longer receiving... really doesn't seem right. All our recipes that we saved are and depended on are now wrong with wrong points. Seems very bad on your part.

I was so determined when I walked through those doors on December 9, 2017. Determined to become a healthier, active women. Freestyle is an amazing program. I have lost over 25lbs since then and feel amazing! I love the leader of the meeting and feel the meetings really inspire, and push me towards my goal! Thank you so much Weight Watchers!

I've been on WW numerous times and have followed the program with success. Then I stop, I'm cured, this is for those people, not me, I am not one of them. Freestyle is lifestyle changes, small and steady. I joined before Christmas; my bestie forced me, and lost TEN pounds my first week. I was perfect the whole week. The second one included a girl's sleepover, I had a bad two days and gained back 3. I skipped Christmas and New Year's and the week after. I came back and not only kept the 7 off, I lost another pound. Last week I was down over 3 pounds. I FEEL NORMAL. I FEEL IN CONTROL. I am so excited to be eating so much. The scanner is terrific. The app is so much improved. Tracking isn't optional and it isn't a chore; it's a chance to get in there and earn my blue dot. Oh the power that dot wields. I really think I can make this my forever eating plan and am so excited to be learning good nutrition!!!

Almost every time I have done Weight Watchers it's been wonderful! The first smart points program was tough on me as a hypoglycemic, but this new freestyle is fantastic. The only reason I can't keep the weight off, is my own fault... I have trouble maintaining. I've lost 30, 40 and 63 lbs (came within 7 lbs of my goal last time!)... This time I will lose 93 (now have to lose the baby weight) but I know I can do it because I'm given all the tools and resources needed to accomplish this goal!

I joined WW some years ago and hated it! I found the daily recordings laborious and having to look up points, etc burdensome. Worst of all, I was often hungry and constantly thinking about food. This Freestyle program is SO easy! I have no trouble staying within my prescribed point range AND I'm NEVER hungry - there is always a free food to help me stay full. Often I don't use all of my daily points - without even trying! AND this WW app is FABULOUS - talk about making this lifestyle easy!!! Thank you!

So I'm back. This time, it's the final 20. Losing these pounds—with me since college—has been the most trying. I'm now 47, and that makes it even harder. But no matter. I am not giving up this now. What has made it easier than ever is the Freestyle program. Zero-point foods are what keep me full, with pointed-foods there to supplement and make it fun. I don't feel like I'm on a "diet" at all. I'm eating more than ever, which is great for me, as I used to skip meals in the past hoping to lose weight that way. BAD IDEA. All that accomplished was to make me weak, and starve, which would result in a binge. Nonsense!

I enjoy the app very much, however I would like a notification option, reminding me to record weight, or track food. It could be optional so not everyone is getting unwanted notifications. I think this would add to the app and my experience.

I like this program because you eat regular food. No need to purchase special food. Smaller portions and using the smart points to control the amount of carbs, fats, and red meats is very easy to do. It is healthy. Meetings give the encouragement needed to keep on track. I am already seeing some weight loss and a better daily glucose reading. I am now diabetic. I have used WW since 1979 and succeeded in making my lifetime goal twice. In 2007 I lost 70 pounds but let most of it gradually return over the past 11 years. I am back to attending meeting and I know I can be successful.

I am in my fourth week of Weight Watchers and could not feel better. Although, the weight is coming off 1 pound per week, I definitely notice the reduction in my waistline and an increase in my energy level. The plan is easy, practical and economical. I feel as though I have taken the first step towards permanent weight loss!

Since retiring, moving, getting into my art of quilting I put on weight. More important, had major stomach issues. I started WW again more for feeling better than weight loss. And into my 3rd week, stomach issues are clearing up. Plus, have dropped 7 lbs. The new program, easier to follow with its freedom. Congrats to you for this! Congrats to me for that one more try!

I am a returning member to WW. When I quit, thinking I can do it on my own, I gained most of my weight back. When I returned, not only was I welcomed but I was also not judged. This encouraged me to get back on the right path and the Freestyle program is perfect for me. I'm happy to be back.

I started WW on January 2, 2018 and as of today have lost 5.3 lbs. Have had a few ups and downs but my own fault. I plan to attend a meeting to get some pointers that I'm sure will help me. I did WW years ago and lost 27 lbs.

I am extremely disappointed in the company's new vision and what Weight Watchers has become. All foods have points because all contain calories, carbs, protein. This is a terrible marketing strategy created without knowing the struggle of food addiction, which most customers struggle daily with. Unfortunately this was thrown out the window and forgotten when Freestyle was created. Thankfully I have worked the program with Points Plus before and have the resources to do so again! So glad I'm no longer starving trying to be under 23 points and knowing good and well how many points eggs, beans, lean meats and such have in them. Would absolutely NOT recommend this program anymore. Sad day!

Wish you could figure out a way for people to share a meal they create in their recipes. My daughter and I are both on WW and we live in different houses and we would love to have the recipe the other makes.

I had been doing the Smart Points plan. It was working great. Unfortunately, with the new Freestyle plan, there are too many free (they call zero points) foods. If I had the ability to control my eating, then I wouldn't need Weight Watchers. The prior plan helped me to do that. Whereas, now I can eat all the chicken for zero points. There is no accountability. Then at the end of the day, I still see tons of lovely points left over, which means I can still eat. That doesn't work. Calling something zero points means it is still free, no matter how much you say it isn't.

The new Freestyle program is wonderful. I truly feel like the program works into my lifestyle, not me trying to work my lifestyle into the program. I am finally in charge of my journey. I look forward to discovering new paths that I have yet to journey down.

Weight Watchers works. Work the plan, the plan works. With each incarnation of how points are calculated the program has moved toward a solid approach to eating whole foods cooked well. I had great success several years ago. Thought I could go off the program, to find 4 years later, I'm at that same starting weight. Eat healthy food, healthy portions, be moderately active and you will succeed in losing weight steadily.

I have been an on-again, off-again WW member for about 20 years, I think. I have lost up to 50 pounds and made goal but never completed maintenance or achieved lifetime. I've done online only, meetings and WW on my own and the only thing that really works for me is meetings combined with online/app. I have lost weight with other "diets" but truly feel that WW is a lifestyle and not a diet. My problem is that at some point in my journey, I tire and feel I can't justify spending the money if I'm not serious so I quit. Also, I was not happy with smart points but probably didn't give it enough of a chance. My true feeling is that I believe in WW, I trust WW and I know it is the only way for me to get and be healthy. I'm so excited about WW Freestyle! Someday, I want to be a WW leader if they will have me after all my starts and stops. Thank you!

I have had successful journeys with Weight Watchers before the FreeStyle program. I lost over 30 lbs with Weight Watchers Point Plus back in 2012. I had several lifestyle changes occur since then, including having my firstborn son and living briefly with my ex-fiancée chef. My weight quickly ballooned and I had regained what I lost (Mainly from pregnancy). As part of my new year's resolution, I wanted to get back into shape since I now finally have the time to devote to it. I joined Weight Watchers FreeStyle on January 1st and noticed one thing right away, I was terribly hungry pretty much all the time. I fought past it and used all of weekly points, and at the end of the month I did lose nearly 11 lbs.

My husband and I joined WW together which does make the process easier. The first few weeks were the hardest as my body was missing the sugar and carbs that I typically ate, but the results have been worth the beginning struggle. After 4 weeks on the program, both my husband and I have lost 10 pounds each.

I have lost 83 pounds on Weight Watchers, I have since gained 30 back. I love that you can eat anything, they have points for everything. I am still learning the new program, and I think I really like it. I love that I can eat all beans for 0 points.

I was doing really well on the program till they changed it to Freestyle. It is awful unless you love fat-free turkey, corn, chicken, beans and eggs. I had major digestive issues and quit losing weight. I know some people love it. I felt like an outsider in the meetings because if you spoke out against Freestyle you were failing not the program.

I’m loving the ease and convenience of the app. I’m able to use the barcode scanning feature while grocery shopping and meal prepping. The recipes I’ve tried through WW have all been delicious and filling! The new Freestyle program has really helped me stay on track!

I joined WW with my 15 year old son. I've struggled with weight all my life and want him to have a healthy relationship with food. I was a WW member when I was a teen and also when I was in my 20's. We have been going about a month now and have had ups and downs but awareness of portions and differences in a donut vs. an apple have been good lessons learned for him. My biggest irritation is that WW will not allow him to have the tracker on his phone. This would improve our experience tenfold. He is "techie" and the ability to track and scan foods would set him up for success. Thank you.

I signed up for the 3 months of Weight Watcher's online and with no direction on how to start the new plan. You basically have to navigate around the site your self to figure things out. I can not believe you can put in the name of a food but you can not sort them by points or whatever to help you find the lowest point values. There is no list of products by points and this would be most helpful so I can find products within my point range. I can find more information on sites like myfitnesspal.com the free version and I can also get free information from Pinterest about weight watchers than I can from Weight Watchers own site.

I have been on WW since Sept. 21, 2017. I find the plan extremely easy to use, esp. with the WW app. I love how easy it is to scan and find almost every food with its points. I prioritize my week so I can attend the meetings. My WW leaders are friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable about the program. I have lost 50 pounds and I still need to lose about another 60. But I know I can do it because WW gives me all the tools I need to be successful. I really identify with Oprah as a brand spokesperson because I know she also struggles with maintaining weight loss. I feel if Oprah can do it, so can I!

At my first WW meeting my WW consultant told me to think about my goal weight. She told me that listing my goal weight should be more about a feeling than a number. At what weight do I remember feeling good about myself. That rang so clear to me. As I have aged and gained weight I really feel like I have lost my edge and that I am no longer "as good as". That's right.

51 and in full blown menopause is not fun. the weight has been a challenge. I love to eat, I work out at least twice a week... the pounds kept adding up. My sister joined at her school district, found that she was able to lose weight along with her co-workers. One losing up to 60 pounds!! So I thought, why not? What do I have to lose?

Weight Watchers is a good, affordable, healthy weight loss program that works when you stick to the plan. People can buy the food needed in neighborhood grocery stores. No pre-packaged, processed, expensive food to this program. Weekly meetings can be great for motivation, support and tips. There are three different payment plans which are all affordable.

Hello, my daughter & I signed up 4 weeks ago. For the most part we love the program and the meetings. However, we attend the meeting at 6:30am in Sacramento on Dewey and Madison. There is a very rude, short older women working that we try to avoid at all costs! She never gives out the booklets for that week. We know this because I received mine when I went to someone else but my daughter didn't receive hers plus she had to ask for her 5lb card. We dread going to her & are considering another location because her attitudes stinks! This is why I can only give 3 starts at this time. Thank you.

This is the best program so far, love the app! The meetings are wonderful and I'm losing weight! The 0 foods are wonderful. You can make a meal out of 0 food items. I still put them in the app just to keep track. Our instructor is wonderful. She stays on topic while letting everyone talk. She has a great sense of humor which helps!

Been very positive! Love the Freestyle program because I’m feeling fuller because of the good food I’m making. I would like to see for adding points on the app what a serving size is. I’ve had to look up food items and it just says “one serving” so what would that be & other people have said the same things at meetings.

This particular location does not have the weigh in stations enclosed with the colorful partitions like the one in Glen Cove, Long Island. Everyone knows everyone’s gain or loss. I strongly believe that is a personal matter and the partitions should be in every located.

I have been a Weight Watcher for over 30 years! Like so many, my weight has gone up and down. But I always come back to the Weight Watcher program to get back on track! Easy to follow plan and I can eat basically whatever I want within my point range. I love the meetings to talk to other WW men and women and get ideas for meals, cravings, etc. I would recommend Weight Watchers to all!!

I've tried online food trackers before and they've been very rigid and difficult to keep up with. The Weight Watchers Freestyle plan is much easier to manage -- it's simple to determine points for the food I eat or want to eat, and I don't have to spend hours figuring out individual dishes. The app is clear and responsive and makes it very easy to keep myself mindful throughout the day. And I love the no-judgment approach -- recognizing that every once in a while you're going to have a challenging day, and it's going to have an effect on the scale, but you just pick up and move on.

The past 4.5 weeks have gone by fast. Usually when I have started Weight Watchers or other healthy eating plans I have given up early due to feeling hungry and not seeing progress. Each week with Freestyle I have lost weight and not felt hungry. I attended my first meeting after already participating online for one week. When I weighed at the meeting that became my start weight, when in reality I was already down 2.2. This is frustrating. Each time I go to a meeting I am "behind" in what is my real weight loss. It would be great for the app to talk to the computer at the meetings and not just the other way around.

I'm back at Weight Watchers again. I did not like the Smart Points program because I felt it was too restrictive. Freestyle is much easier and I feel that I can live with this program. It has incorporated things from previous plans such as the carry-over of daily points if not used. Only been back about 6 weeks but so far so good.

Weight Watchers works. It works any way the program has been designed. I personally liked the points plus best because it allowed for more junky stuff but the smart works is cleaner better eating. I don't the Freestyle. I do think maybe more should be taught that people shouldn't be eating free stuff non stop then save all their points for one giant dessert. I think people are not using their common sense with it because they are looking for an excuse to eat. I think that's why there is a lot of complaining on not losing. But it works. I have had success with it.

I have had the most wonderful experience with Weight Watchers. I've been doing this for a year, and the program has completely turned my life around. I feel like I have a whole new life. Weight Watchers is great, because I'm learning how to use real food for a healthy lifestyle. I cook my own dinner, go out to eat, eat pizza, and I am still on program. It is something I can do for the rest of my life! The new Freestyle program is exceptional, and I am seriously in love with everything happening at Weight Watchers right now.

Often times when I use online help desk I do not get satisfying answers. Recently I contacted the line about my weight gain and the answer I received was “I understand how you feel, and reevaluate your foods”. I believe the WW can do better, providing specific instructions since we are paying for the entire tool not just point calculator.

I wish it was cheaper for a month. It is hard for me to come up with the money sometimes. I am pretty much a single parent with several health issues. That is the reason that I joined so I will get off some of my medicine.

I've done Weight Watchers 3x and lost every time. This new program though, Freestyle, seems to me to be a program that someone can actually LIVE with. Now, it's not WW fault that I like sugary drinks so, hopefully I can keep that bad habit at bay and actually stay a lifetime member!

I had tried Weight Watchers with my mother as a teenager but it was so hard. Now with this freestyle program it is so much easier! I love the program and I am able to follow it. I am a full time working mom and able to follow it and work out after work and get home and cook on your plan.

I first became lifetime back in 1979 and have kept coming back over the years. I love the fact that you can eat whatever you want as long as you record it and count the points. I don’t mind weighing and measuring my food, keeps me in line and lets me know what’s reasonable. I also do program online and love Connect. I’ve tried many diets over the years for a quick fix and always go back to WW.

No receipt reprints - I have chatted with numerous agents about getting my latest receipt re-sent via e-mail. The responses have varied from idiotic to unhelpful. If I had known that I would not be able to get technical issues like this resolved, I probably would have hesitated to join WW again.
