I agree with you, WW is an awesome program. To me it's the healthiest way to eat better overall, without food restrictions. If you work WW as a lifestyle change and not just a short term restricted eating plan to lose weight, I think most will see great results. It took me many years to learn this, but I'm a WW Lifetime member for about 4 years now. The best thing about WW is you can eat anything as long as you count your points and it's within your daily point allowance! And with all the zero point foods you can eat lots of food even if your out of points, which encourages you to make really healthy foods choices.

This is my fourth time on WW over my adult life (I’m 62)and the first time I decided not to do the meetings. I only use the app, I like it so much more not doing the meetings. My weigh day is on Wednesdays and it’s been just about 10 months since I’ve restarted WW, so far I’ve lost 44.5 lbs. I track every meal and snack. I started on the green plan and just recently after watching your video on the rice bowls and the one on the grocery trip to Aldi’s and Trader Joe’s, I switched to blue just for a change. Where I live we don’t have Trader Joe’s but we have two Aldi’s, so I was able to find some of the items you mentioned there and I found somethings at Walmart, that I wouldn’t have even looked at before like the Buffalo chicken dip, which I love. Thank you for your videos they are helpful.

For me WW has improved my life and is a tool. When people say it’s expensive, I think that’s relative. I know people who get a Starbucks coffee every morning. Just a few days of that equals the cost of WW. I use online only and it works for me. Finding people like you really helps me keep going. While not on WW, my husband has been motivated to lose 30 pounds since March/April while I have lost 15. This is doable and we are learning better habits.

Starbucks every morning?!?! They can def afford WW😂😂😂😂

Using it as a tool rather than a program is such good advice! That’s how I see it too. I feel more freedom now doing WW then ever before. I can eat anything! The tracking holds me accountable for what I eat and that really helps me.

Hi Nikki. I am 63 and have used WW as a weight loss tool since the 70s. Had I always followed the plan, I would never have had an issue with my weight. WW is the ONLY plan that ever worked for me. I am down over 100 pounds for almost 4 years. I know in order to keep my weight down, I will always follow the program…with the exception of Saturday which is my “cheat” day. Happy birthday!

Because of you, I will be starting WW tomorrow! I am so excited to start my health journey. Thank you. 💕

Love this video! I have tried calories and macros, but just don't love them like I do WW. So glad you and Adam are sticking with it!

Great informative video Nikki! Thank you....WW has changed my life as well!!!

You are definitely a great mentor for me. I watch all of your videos even the older ones. Your reviews and grocery hauls have helped me choose new things. And you know that’s a help! Thank you and Adam for making this easier for me! PS. So far I’m down 14 lbs and I started May 15th!😎

Excellent and true! You do a great job explaining. I really appreciate your delivery, no rah rah fake enthusiasm, or " you should do this!"

Inspirational Nikki !!! I’m starting a weight loss journey. I am also doing with weight watchers. Thank you 🙏

Great points! I completely agree it’s a tool! And you’re right it very confusing at the beginning. I agree it’s incredible how much you learn about portions. I’m in it for the lifestyle change! You’ve helped me tons! In mixing up my food options. I appreciate you!

Oh my goodness yes!!! There's some junk people on WW eat. My coach has told me to focus on eating food that's actually food! WW is what you make of it, but there's too many who "game" it. I'm sticking with it because it is retraining my brain to make much better choices. I was anorexic and bulimic as a teen, but then got pregnant and had to eat. Her Dad took off when she was 15 months old and depression led to a big gain I've never able to lose. I'm FINALLY learning to actually have a healthy relationship with food. I do track both in WW and in MyFitnessPal because my coach can see it remotely. It works! The scale is moving the right direction. My hubby and I love you and Adam. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

You make an excellent point about only having to track a few components of your meals rather than every single calorie. That’s a huge advantage (once you get the hang of points).

And I didn't know you twoxwere in a commercial! Cool! I'll have to look for that!

I just found your channel. I usually never watch a video to the end, but your videos are not annoying and so informative. I tried WW so many times andright now I’m suppose to have gastric bypass but since I’m self paying and only will lose about 60 pounds I’m rethinking since the cost is 20K. I’m seriously thinking of doing WW. Again, thank you for your videos 🤗

Hey Nikki! I don’t normally comment but I just loved how you talked about the mind set around weight watchers and how you didn’t want people thinking “oh, they’re on a diet, they can only eat salads now.” I don’t do weight watcher, just MyFitness Pal, but your so positive in a constructive way and I absolutely love your meals.

I just wanted to thank you for mentioning the barcode scanner. I had no idea it existed! I'm on green and have lost 20 lbs in 3 1/2 months just using the app without meetings or other interactive parts. I find I'm eating more reasonable portions, more healthfully in general, and I don't eat the artificially fat-free or sugar-free zero point foods, because I don't care for them or think that they're a habit I want to get into, but I have done things like switch from sour cream to fat-free Greek yogurt. Your videos are helpful and encouraging. Thank you!

WW is so much easier to follow today than anytime ever! I first joined in 1980, became a lifetime member. I could never sustain my weight, I was not knowable enough I guess. I also have a low blood sugar problem and would crash, needing carbs.I did always return to WW and through the years I feel WW kept me healthier than if I never went back.

@grandmajens4920

Because in 1980 it felt so restrictive and I was starving, too low fat I think. I'm 61, my 3rd time, but the last was successful, in 2014 and the weight- 20# just came back as I didn't follow. It's so much better

This was a great video! I lost 40lbs on WW, but gained back 10. I LOVE the tracker - never went to a class. I get 23 points a day as well. The problem is I have a mental thing about using the weeklies. And when I just do daily, I am eating less than 1000 calories which has messed up my metabolism. I am counting calories now, but HATE tracking everything I put into my mouth. I am spoiled after being a WW member for a billion years!! LOL!!!! You guys look great and are very inspirational!!

I just wanted to say thanks for your videos. I was on WW a few years ago before getting pregnant with my daughter and lost 30 lbs and gained it all back eating whatever i wanted to while Prego. After having her i did WW breastfeeding ( they have a setting) lost it all feel off the wagon pandemic hit and gained almost 50 lbs now Prego with our second i got the green light to do WW while pregnant . Thanks for all the great videos. Anyone new to WW just remember it works but it does take time make sure to eat lots of zero point foods and the best workout at first is walking.

Love your review of it. I don’t do WW anymore because the recording stress and perfectionism of it drove me insane. I was also one of those people who wanted any zero calorie food like the fat free cheeses, and I lost my love for food and cooking for my loved ones

I started Carnivore July 3rd 2022, switched to Keto after about 6 months, and I lost 106 pounds in just over a year! I had about 50 more pounds to lose, but then I stalled out for a few months, and then started to gain weight as I became frustrated with the stall. So after gaining 6 pounds back 3 weeks ago I decided to join WW. I am on The diabetic plan, and I have lost 14 pounds in 3 weeks! I am eating mostly low carb, but if I want something like a baked potato, or beans, or rice, I have them once in a while. I am honestly loving this plan! Most days I eat 20 grams or less total carbs, so that’s really good for my diabetes. I don’t eat processed food, I do eat a lot of veggies…I eat one of those chopped salads every single day, but don’t use the dressing and toppings that come with, I just make my own with avocado oil and lemon or lime juice. Anyway, I am really enjoying your content. It helps me so much to see how you are eating on the plan. Thanks for such good content!❤

new here, two mins in and I have to say: your eyes are GORGEOUS !!!

I am so glad that I have found your channel! I appreciate your candor and also all of you recipes and tips. I used the WW app last summer and lost 20lbs. When I got off WW I lost the motivation to sustain the changes I had made (of course, I work in healthcare so there have been other factors). I signed up recently w/ itrackbites to revitalize my motivation to work on lifestyle changed. I have appreciated all your tips and recommendations. Thank you for sharing your journey and give motivation to others.

Great information Thanks for sharing

Thank you for inspiring me. I'm only ten days in but I see how sustainable this is. I like how food doesn't consume me and I can be a little spontaneous.

WW is great. I went to meetings until I made lifetime. Now, I just use the app. It is definitely sustainable!

iTrack Bites is helpful but it gives points to eggs and meat. It is definitely eye-opening. I did WW back in the day and I loved it. I liked the community (I went to meetings because the Internet wasn't really big at that point lol). I love that we're along on your journey! I love your videos! I wish we had a Trader Joe's near us. I want to try all the foods you can only get there that you put into your videos! =)

Great sharing

I cannot track calories sustainably either. Despite really wanting to, I just can't maintain it. WW is so awesome in that respect.

Yes it has to be a life style change, yes a tool, but you are empowered with nutrition knowledge, have to remember to move ,walk,etc for life skills I am 69 and if you don’t move you loose your ability to. My therapist says if you don’t move you rust! WW since 1980

I’m my first week in. I decided so I could track. I need accountability. I’m on green. Will be Interesting to see what happens Monday when I get on the scale. I use to snack on junk and eat dinner. Now three good healthy filling meals and fruit or veggie snacks. I’m full lol But also moving moving moving. But eating so much more. My mental health has already improved. I’m sleeping better. I’m less stressed. I’m coping better. And being diagnosed with mental health issues, is a way bigger deal than what the scale says.

WW connect is great support

Enjoy your videos very much. Have lost 25 lbs in 5 months with WW which puts me right on my personal goal. 5 lbs per month and trying to not lose more than that in a month. I'm 63 and have 27 more to lose, content to keep losing at a slower pace. This time I'm working to being able to maintain my weight lose, sort of like the losing part is an apprenticeship but maintenance is going to be the real job. Have lost weight in the past but not able to keep it off. Most days I use all my dailies, I will usually use most or all of my weeklies. Sometimes it's only a few in a day and there have been a few days when WOW, I've ate every weekly I have coming. We go out to dinner, have meals with friends, and I still make my husbands favorite casseroles. I attend meetings when I'm in a area with a studio, it's worth it to attend 1 or 2 (will let you do free at least 1, not sure about more). Weighing in is a very private thing, your weight is not visible to anyone but the receptionist (it will show on your app the next time you log in) they are very conscious about privacy at check in. Have made many really fun 30 minute friends at the WW meetings and since we travel year round have been able to try many different studios. If you do on line, the virtual meetings are fantastic (you don't have to talk or have your face displayed) but the tips are valuable. I eat anything I want. Today's lunch was 2 cups french onion soup and dinner, 2 slices (1/4) breakfast pizza's from Aldi's. Enjoying a fresh peach as I type this. If WW is not in the budget there is a free app that will do the same as WW called iTrackBites, they call points bites and you can pick your program, including a keto base there.

I am really happy for you and for everyone who does well on WW I have tried it more than once and I just can’t seem to lose weight on it?? I follow it correctly and I will lose the first week but then I won’t lose any more after that🤔

Nice video

It’s important to find a program that works for you. WW helped me eat healthier and be in maintenance with minimum effort. HOWEVER it didn’t help me lose extra fat. (I am in 25-26% body fat so it’s harder for me to lose the extra with any program. ) I agree it’s a good tool, if you’re super serious about fitness and want to get to top top top physique, I think tracking calories and macros would work better with a bit more fine tuned bulking/ cutting/ carb cycling etc. obviously that’s a lot more work and can trigger eating disorder.

Came across this old video - I love this. I see so many videos about calories and macros but it is so overwhelming. I struggle with disordered eating and WW really allows me to just minimize tracking and focus on healthy, balanced eating. I can't eat artificial sweeteners so I just focus on whole foods/zero point foods and ignore all the noise and marketing a lot of influencers do. I think Built Bars are gross lol.

Hope you had an amazing birthday! Did you go somewhere where you could rock the red dress? I quit the meetings years ago. The location was depressing, it was at dinner time, there was no individual help (there would be 50 people there) just a "keep at it, slugger!" kind of platitude. If I'm on my own, better to do it online, less stress in my life trying to fit another appt into my schedule. Even now, when I'm eating cleaner, I still have trouble with processed food "hacks" (except for queso blanco, that stuff rules, lol!) I don't use my weeklies still. Maybe for one meal out, I'll go over by a few. But I've still never ended a week with less than 30. I should probably work at that. I do have a friend who has always devised workouts that would make up for her overeating. If I am going to try dipping into weeklies, then I should probably turn off that feature on the app. I think I also need to focus more on what I should be adding in (fruits, veggies, fiber), as qell as what I'm NOT eating

Hi, I just watched your pros and cons video. Got me thinking of more pros and cons. I found it very difficult to stay with the plan while quarantining and gained some of my weight back. How did you handle quarantine? I was also turned off by the way ww laid off some of their employees. They did not handle it in a nice way. I went as far as canceling my membership. I know others felt the same way. What is your opinion? I signed up a couple of weeks ago and having trouble doing it on my own just using the app.

When we started WW, I said no matter what I didn't want to feel hungry all the time! I really focus on eating all my weeklies but using them for high protein snacks as well as filling up on zero point foods. With the rice bowls I make, I am able to pack them with so many veggies (but also rice, meat and cheese or sauce) and that way they keep me soo full but are still low point! I definitely understand what you mean about not always making the healthiest choice but to make it a lifestyle change its all about balance so you can still enjoy yourself with those things!

I feel like everyone has to find their stride when it comes to weight loss. I have friends that swear by Keto but for me, it’s just not sustainable. I think WW in my experience has been the most sane “diet plan” (yikes I hate that word). I’ve had some health nut friends knock WW because you can easily live off of fat free “fake” foods and lean meat, lose weight and not actually be eating healthy…but to that I say …”mind your own damn business “ 💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️. For real. Don’t be the broccoli police. Nobody likes that guy! The best part of WW for me is that nothing is off limits. You can’t tell me “you can’t have this” because I will automatically rebel. That’s just me. Oh and I break The occasional ww rule to make it work for me. Do what you gotta do to make it work
