WW: The New Weight Watchers Plan in 2019

Back in September, Weight Watchers officially changed its name to WW, but what does that mean for you? Is it the same Weight Watchers program you love? What's changed? Here's your guide to everything you need to know about Wellness that Works™.

We all heard about the big Weight Watchers name change a few months back when they officially changed their name to WW. For many people who have followed and loved Weight Watchers for years (like me), this was a scary change and it left many of us worried that there would be a big change to the ways things were done, how points worked, and how the program worked. However, this rebranding actually didn't change anything to how the program and points system works. Phew.

Here are the big picture things you need to know about this change:

  • There is no change to the points and current Freestyle Smartpoints system.  
  • WW is moving to focus more on wellness and health, as opposed to just weight loss and management. 
  • There will be a New Wellness Wins rewards program to motivate members
  • New focus on mental wellness through a partnership with Headspace, the meditation app
  • Building better communities and support with the launch of WW Connect Groups
  • Updates to Fitpoints and focus on physcial activity and fitness
  • Focus on health and removing artificial sweeteners, colors, and preservatives from WW food products

Now that we know what the major changes to Weight Watchers are with the new WW brand update, let's dig into each of these changes so you know what they will mean for you.

WW Freestyle Smartpoints Program

Knowing that this is what most people are concerned about, let's start right in with the points system on the new WW plan. It's exactly the same - same point values, same daily points targets, same zero point foods.

Here's some more info. Last year, Weight Watchers updated its points system to Freestyle Smartpoints and added a whole new group of zero point foods. This shift from Smartpoints to Freestyle Smartpoints, was a major shift in how points were calculated on previous programs and shifted the focus to healthy food choices like lean proteins, legumes, beans, vegetables, and fruit. Under thsi new Freestyle Smartpoints system,

Slow Cooker Pepperoncini Beef aka Drip Beef

This tender, fall part pepperoncini beef, sometimes called Italian Beef or Drop Beef, made in the crockpot with a few simple ingredients is easy to prepare and couldn't be more delicious. Serve it with some cauliflower mashed potatoes  or stuffed into sandwiches for a tasty meal the whole family will love. This beef is really special. I first saw it over on The Pioneer Woman’s website and have made it multiple times for game-days, get-togethers, and as a base for multiple meals throughout the week. The idea is so simple  - slow cooker beef with pepperoncinis , onions, and a touch of Italian seasoning and the outcome is better than anything you could imagine.  It’s terrific on sandwiches, over rice, turned into a quick beef stew, stuffed in peppers. You get the idea. I think it would taste good in just about anything. But if I am sharing this, I have share my all time favorite way to serve it. Start with a whole grain rolls and add the shredded beef and some sliced or ...
