Our best plan ever just got better!

Millions of members have lost weight with our PointsPlus program and we've now taken the program to the next level!

Delivering the most powerful start possible:

	WITH POWERSTART SESSIONS– three after-meeting sessions give you a powerful start - because research has shown that getting off to a good start is key to weight-loss success.*
	WITH POWERSTART TRACKERS– each with a week's worth of meal ideas pre-tracked. Because we know what you're wondering: What should I eat?

And offering new features to help
you keep your weight loss going:

	WITH AN ADJUSTABLE PointsPlus TARGET– because we know that you know you best.
	WITH SIMPLY FILLING BY THE DAY. Stay accountable without counting PointsPlus values. Because we know that what you need changes by the day.
	WITH A WEEKLY PointsPlus ACTIVITY GOAL– so that when you're ready, you can begin to reap the benefits of activity.

So the bottom line is, the PointsPlus program helps you
make eating smarter and moving more second nature by
giving you a budget to help you get in control and lose weight.
The currency is PointsPlus values.

	YOU GET A PERSONALIZED DAILY PointsPlus TARGET Your daily PointsPlus Target tells you how much you should eat for weight loss. It's optimized for people just like you - we calculate it based on gender, weight, height and age. But of course, we know you know you best. That's why we allow you to adjust your Target if you need to.
	EVERY FOOD HAS A PointsPlus VALUE PointsPlus values are calculated from the nutritional content–fat, carbs, fiber, and protein - of the foods you eat. You can look up PointsPlus values of the foods you eat in printed lists (such as in your Pocket Guide) or online (if you're a subscriber to Weight Watchers eTools). Or you can calculate them based on the nutrition information.
	YOU CAN USE YOUR WEEKLY PointsPlus ALLOWANCE WHEN YOU NEED MORE FLEXIBILITY You get additional PointsPlus values per week, to use however you'd like. Spread them throughout the week, use them all at once, or don't use them at all-- whichever you prefer.
	YOU CAN EARN ACTIVITY PointsPlus VALUES Activity PointsPlus values are calculated based on your weight and on the intensity and duration of your activity. Boost your weight-loss success by earning activity PointsPlus values. Or, if you need extra flexibility in your eating plan, swap them one-to-one for food PointsPlus values.
	TO STAY ON TOP OF IT ALL AND ACCOUNTABLE, YOU KEEP TRACK People who regularly record everything they eat and drink lose more weight.** You can track on paper or online, ahead of time or as you eat - whatever works for you.
	AND YOU ATTEND A WEEKLY MEETING At meetings, you'll get the support you need to stick with it. And weighing in once a week keeps you accountable and tells you if it's time to make a change in your approach.
