How WeightWatchers Helps Real People Lose Weight — Here’s What To Expect

WeightWatchers in 2025 blends its classic Points® Program with modern medical support, making weight management more personalized and practical than ever.

Written by Contributing Writer

WeightWatchers has long occupied a space in the public consciousness, so much so that even if you’ve never used it before, you’re probably familiar with the concept and, at the very least, know the name.

WeightWatchers largely owes its status as a household name to its revolutionary Points® Program. It made the company famous by allowing people to essentially eat what they want, as long as they stay within their allotted Points® for the day. This is easier to achieve when eating nutritious foods. WeightWatchers became an early thought leader in the shift from willpower-based techniques for weight loss to more practical, personalized solutions that build healthy habits.

Fast forward to 2025, and WeightWatchers is now more like a boutique medical service. It offers several programs tailored to the individual member experience. Its GLP-1 program, for instance, incorporates online prescription weight loss medication as part of its more holistic, medically charged approach to weight management.

You heard that right. You can now access weight loss medications as part of your personalized program. There are also add-ons for one-on-one sessions with a registered dietician and weekly workshops, both in-person and online.

In short, the “new” WeightWatchers isn’t your momma’s WeightWatchers; it’s been updated and optimized to be easier, healthier, and more affordable than ever. Here’s what you can expect when joining WeightWatchers in 2025.

The Points Program, But Better Than Ever

The Points® Program simplifies weight loss with its insanely accurate nutrition calculator that assigns points to what you eat. Simply enter your meals in the app and stay within your daily allotment to stay on track.

No food is off limits. Deprivation and extreme willpower are not necessary to achieve success with the program.

The proven Points® Program now comes in two more iterations: one for people with diabetes and the other for people taking weight loss medications as part of their WeightWatchers program. In sum, it’s more personalized to the individual than ever before.

New! Weight-Loss Medication And Registered Dietitian Support

Yep, WeightWatchers now provides access to weight loss medications through certified doctors as an add-on to the Points® Program. FYI, WeightWatchers’ data suggests members lose up to 54% more weight by combining meds with Points®. Also part of the deal are one-on-one check-ins with doctors and clinicians, plus insurance coordination. New members can reduce the cost of their investment in their weight health journey by signing up for the Points® Program with discount code: RESULTS10.

WeightWatchers also launched another add-on recently, offering access to personal virtual meetings with a registered dietitian through WeightWatchers Clinic.

With this expert clinical guidance, you can now increase your chances for success by combining the medical angle with the behavior change strategies that Points® is known for.

Support That Goes Above And Beyond

Emotional and community support is always part of the package via Connect, which lets you lean on others to develop the mindset and habits to achieve and maintain results.

You can now also elect an add-on for workshops, which are like weekly in-person and online masterclasses from WeightWatchers’ team of experts. These are supportive, safe spaces to learn new things, celebrate wins, and benefit from human connection along your journey.

And Finally, Unbridled Success!

In 2025, WeightWatchers’ modernized, more personalized Points® Program and the option for clinician-guided weight-loss medications make it unlike any other accessible solution at its price point.

Now, the company’s more holistic, comprehensive program with dietitian support and a thriving community to add to your support system means you have everything modern women need to lose weight in a healthy, practical way.

WeightWatchers is empowering moms like never before to create habits that stick and cultivate a new relationship with food that aligns with their values and goals. It’s science-backed weight management from the global leader in weight health. Expect success.
