WW International, Inc., formerly Weight Watchers, is an American company that offers various products and services to assist weight loss and maintenance. Founded in 1963 by Queens, New York, homemaker Jean Nidetch, it now operates in about 30 countries around the world, generally under names that are local translations of "Weight Watchers". The core philosophy behind the company's programs is to use a science-driven approach to help participants lose weight by forming helpful habits, eating smarter, getting more exercise, and providing support.
At 12 months, WW is associated with 2.6% more weight loss than those who were in a control group.
The term weight-watcher, in the same sense, had circulated publicly for several years before the company was formed.
On September 24, 2018, the company announced a rebrand to "WW" taking effect immediately, representing its "heritage and history and going forward".
WW (Weight Watchers) is about a way of life and living healthier. It's core approach is to assist members in losing weight through eating more healthily and getting more exercise. To help in this approach WW designed a Freestyle program that uses a point system called SmartPoints (and FitPoints for activities). Every food and drink is assigned a point value and every person is assigned a total daily SmartPoints budget once they complete the Weight Watchers online personal assessment. The SmartPoints budget is based on their gender, age, height, and current weight. SmartPoints is calculated using kilojoules (calories), saturated fat, sugar and protein. No food is off-limits, but the plan assigns higher points values to foods higher in sugar or saturated fat, and lower points values to lean proteins. Most fruits and vegetables are zero points.
