New Weight Watchers Plan for 2022 & 2023 {Updated October 2022} The Holy Mess

What will be the new Weight Watchers plan for November of 2022? It appears that the company is changing to a new plan in November of 2022, even though the current Personal Points plan was rolled out just one year ago. Read on for information for the latest information about program changes for WW in 2022 and 2023.

Updated with new information on October 27, 2022.

After you read about the new plan, share your thoughts in the comments below. I can’t wait to hear what you think about these changes.

New! Weight Watchers New Plan for November, 2022

In an unprecedented move, Weight Watchers is launching a new program for members in November of 2022 which is much earlier than expected.

Will WW Offer a New Plan in 2022?

Yes, it appears that Weight Watchers is offering members a new plan in November of 2022. This is unexpected and has not been done before in WW recent history. Typically WW creates a new plan every 2 years, with the middle year having minor program adjustments.

Now, in November of 2022 WW is ending the Personal Points plan and offering a newly created plan.

This is huge news. As someone who has been using the WW system for almost 30 years, I have not seen Weight Watchers offer a new plan so quickly.

This tells us that the current Personal Points plan is not working for many members for weight loss. While I don’t know what to exactly what to expect with the new system, overall I’m excited for the change. Good for WW for listening to your members and meeting their needs.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my 100+ pound weight loss, it’s that while it’s good to try new things, if it’s not working I need to be willing to go back to the basics. It appears that’s what WW is doing with this new, more streamlined plan.

In today’s modern world, change happens fast and all of us need to be ready to pivot and adapt.

New WW Plan: Real or Rumor?

It is true that Weight Watchers is offering a new plan? Yes, WW will be starting a new plan mid-November of 2022.

According to Dish with Dee on You Tube, who received information from a current Weight Watchers coach, the new W W program will begin soon.

For several months now, There have been hints that WW was going to start a new plan sooner than is typical. A select number of people who were new members to WW were given the option to enroll in a test program. WW has also discounted their cookbooks to be 50% off, something they typically do only when a new plan is about to be announced.

Weight Watchers coaches and employees have just been told of the new plan, so watch for more information to come soon.

What Will the New Weight Watchers Plan Be Like?

Here are the details that Dee shared in her video of what we know so far:

• The new plan will be more simple and streamlined.
• Everyone will be on the same plan, except for diabetics.
• Everyone will have the same zero point foods, with the exception of diabetic members who will still have a unique plan for them.
• Recipes will have a set number of points for all members.
• Zero point foods (for non-diabetics) will include non-starchy vegetables, fruits, lean poultry and fish, tofu, non-fat, plain Greek yogurt, non-fat cottage cheese, eggs, beans, lentils, peas, corn, and popcorn (plain, air-popped).
• Daily points ranges will vary according to sex, age, height and current weight.
• Foods such as potatoes, oatmeal, and brown rice will NOT be zero point foods on the new plan. Members can still eat these foods (remember, no food is off limits in WW) but they will have points.
• Members will continue to receive a daily points allotment and a weekly points allowance.
• Members will NOT earn points for eating vegetables or drinking water.
• Members will still be able to earn additional points for physical activity.
• This plan is said to be similar to the previous Blue WW plan and Freestyle.
• The algorithm for calculating a food’s point value will stay the same.

What is the Name of the New WW Plan?

The name of the new plan has not yet been released. Stay tuned and we will update you as soon as that information is available.

There is a new name called “Core” plan but that is NOT the food plan. Core is the new name for the online-only version of the digital program.

Will the WW Personal Points Program End?

Yes, the current Personal Points plan will end in December of 2022.

We have been told that mid-November, current WW members will have the option of starting the new plan or staying with Personal Points. Then in December, all members will be switched to the new plan.

After the change in mid-November, new members will automatically be enrolled in the new plan, and all members will be using the new plan by the end of 2022.

Why is Weight Watchers Ending Personal Points?

WW has not officially stated why the new Personalized Points plan is ending. I can tell you that as someone who writes about Weight Watchers on this website, I have received a flood of emails from people who are not losing weight with the current plan.

Many have left WW and gone to tracking calories with My Fitness Pal, using a knock-off WW app like Healthi, or simply following an older WW plan on their own.

As someone who has lost 100+ pounds with WW and is a WW Lifetime member, I am a WW fan girl. I love the WW system and counting points works really well for me.

But to be honest even I have had complaints with the Personal Points plan, especially counting extra points for vegetables.

Many WW members have shared their frustration with the Personal Points plan with me, and a desire to go back to the previous Green, Blue, and Purple plans, but then again we as Weight Watchers members have a history of always thinking the previous plan was the better one.

There is no way to follow previous plans while using the current WW system, but if you want to try to follow it on your own, click here for Blue plan information, Green plan information, and Purple plan information along with free printables.

Comprehensive because it isn’t just a food system. It’s an entire ecosystem that takes the whole you into account – incorporating your activity levels and water and vegetable intake, allowing you to grow your points budget and earn points for all the healthy things you do. It’s one complete system that takes in all into account.

Personalized because, for the first time ever, with WW’s guidance you determine your own individual plan, based on the foods you like and eat most often. These foods have zero points, and your plan is unique to you. With thousands of possible combinations, virtually no two plans are alike!”

Weight Watchers Program Review

How does Weight Watchers work for weight loss? WW is a reduced calorie, lower fat program that guides members to a healthy weight. The plan gives each member a daily points allowance that represents the food options for the day. In addition, every member has zero point foods that can be eaten to satisfaction plus a flexible weekly points budget.

Which WW plan is best for vegetarians? While all WW plans can be used for vegetarians and vegans, we recommend the Purple plan for vegetarians.
