I am a WW Wellness Guide and my opinions are entirely my own.
BTW, I really enjoy the freestyle program.....no cravings whatsoever, almost to my goal....over 22 pounds down!
Fantastic James!
You are so inspirational. I believe you've found your calling in life!
Thanks so much Sherry! I love helping others!
Hi Kim, I went to a meeting today. As an online member, they let me attend for free and gave me the books....(Introducing WW Freestyle, Eat What You Love, Enjoy Grocery and Dining Out Guide, Shift Your Mindset, Do What Moves You, the weekly - Freestyle Your Food Plan and the Simply Filling Pamphlet. They were very welcoming and helpful. I did not feel uncomfortable at all. I guess it depends on the meeting location whether they give the hard copy materials to online members or not. Thanks for all you do!
I'm so glad you had a good experience!
THANK YOU SO MUCH.... You make it sound reasonable and easy and NOT confusing. I so much appreciate all your help and now I am ready to go............ CONGRATULATIONS on your weight loss.
You are amazing!!! Just found your Channel! I have tried WW before and because of my own faults was not successful but u have motivated me along with the new freestyle format to try again!!! I am signing up TODAY!!! Thanks so much for sharing this video!!! I hope to one day be a successful as you!! You go girl!!
You will be!
Thanks for the great explanation! I had my meeting last night and got all the booklets. Today has gone really well! I’m still in awe of your 112lb weight loss.. Absolutely amazing!!! Sue
Thank you Sue! How was your first week?
The Fit and Fabuless Mama It was great! I lost a pound even being on lifetime. Lol
You have inspired me so much! You have released an amazing amount of weight and kept it off, which is my biggest problem. You really have me doing my WW research!
Nice to see you Cina! Yes I truly feel like WW is the most livable and sustainable long term. Hope you and the family are well!
I am 2 days in with this change and love it! I was a fan of Smart Points but this is even better! ❤️
So glad you are loving it!
I’m online and went to a meeting. They refused to give me the materials unless I signed up and paid them $40. Needless to say, I walked out of there with no materials. I’ll just buy them on eBay later I suppose. They did say that I could “ listen to the meeting” and one even told me that I should just go online and it will be there later. My weigh in isn’t until Saturday so here I sit. Waiting. And while it was a little annoying to walk out empty handed, the worst part was they seemed to decide not to give me the materials amongst themselves. Maybe I should have told them not to huddle and talk about it before telling me no because then it just seems like they made that rule up. I online chatted the 24/7 support- yes online members can have printed material. Called the WW 800 number- no online members do not have access to printer materials. So it depends on who you get, what day and what mood they in. 🧐
Same! They surely did not welcome me and they refused to give me materials. Glad your meeting location is more welcoming Kim.
loveandjoy810 I am sorry that happened to you. We all need ALL the help we can get. I would consider contacting the corporate office.
loveandjoy810 I'm so sorry that happened! You should have been able to get them. I would screen shot the 24/7 chat conversation (contact then again) and go back in or to a different location and get your materials.
Mimi's Life STAY At Home Wife I agree!
Kristen Lake that's terrible! Sorry they didn't get the memo.
TFS. My employer pays for WW. Why I haven’t signed up before in the almost five years I’ve been there is a question I’ll never be able to answer. The Free Style program is what got me. Thank you, Kim for the great explanation. New sub.
Welcome to WW! Never give up!
And this is why you are my favorite RUclipsr. Informative, fun and you get to the point. LOL. Thank you!
Aww thanks so much angel!
I am so anxious to get to my Thursday meeting this week so I can finally get started with this. The fact that chicken, fish, eggs, beans, and nonfat plain greek yogurt are zero points almost makes me want to cry with happiness because those are all the foods I try to plan around. Now I can actually have a little more fun and wiggle room with maybe adding some light breading to my chicken or fish, or to not have to eat egg white omelettes to keep the points down--I can eat the whole egg! And best of all, I have my own recipe for a turkey chili that uses 99% fat free chili and tons of black and kidney beans and is 3 points a cup--my chili just turned into zero point chili. I. AM. STUNNED.
Yes I am loving the freedom and flexibility! How are you liking it so far?
I am LOVING it. I'm still eating the things I was before (which included all the now zero point foods), but I'm actually having a little bit more fun with things, specifically salads! I've been adding nice little extras onto my salads like cranberries and nuts and feta cheese because I actually have a little more wiggle room to allow them now. That actually makes me feel like I'm "really eating". I can't wait to weigh in tomorrow and see how it went. Hurray!
Aha! That's why you have been killing the weight loss lately. Great job!
Maria Olker haha yes! I had all those weeks of losses thanks to Freestyle. And my gain last week had nothing to do with Freestyle and all from eating too much lol.
How do I subscribe to your channel. You are great
Thanks! On this page press subscribe on the top right: ruclips.net/channel/UCTlW-RPG8GDzUnfMfiN_orw?
I gained two pounds while on vacation in one week. Lost 1.2 this last weigh in after a really good tracking and activity week. It's crazy how easy the pounds come on and how hard it is to come off! But, I like what you said. Does it really matter how long it takes? Because this is a lifestyle. Getting to goal is the goal! But, really, the goal is eating mindfully for the rest of our lives.
Another fantastic video, Kim! Can't wait until Thursday...my meeting day. Thanks for all your videos...everyone of them is excellent!
Thanks Liz! You are going to love it!
Thank you Kim. You gave an Amazing overview of the new program. My weigh in day is sat, looking forward to these wonderful changes. By the way, you look so Beautiful 😇 Just glowing. Thank you 😘💕
Thank you so much Lydia! How are you liking freestyle so far?
The Fit and Fabuless Mama I love it Kim. Sure is simple. My meetings are Sat mornings, so I'll have to wait to see how I did. I'll let you know. Thank you Kim 😘💕
I just joined and you’re right. I’m not even hungry in the morning.
Awesome!
The Fit and Fabuless Mama I definitely wasn’t too bad this morning.. I ate an 85% Lean beef patty for dinner last night and even though I stuck to my smart points, that thing really weighed me down.
you gave the best clear information I have heard, my meeting is not until Saturday so ready to get all the books. You rock girl!
Thank you! How are you liking freestyle so far?
The Fit and Fabuless Mama so far I am feeling like it is to easy, so needless to say that my brain is thinking I am doing something wrong. Just going to keep pushing through until weigh in on Saturday.
I’m an online member. I went to sit in on a meeting last night and the leader would not give me the materials. I felt so awkward when she asked people to turn to a specific page and I could not follow along. I was pretty disappointed and felt unwelcome. 🙁
CurlyMommyLove I wouldn't go back there! That was my problem also RUDE Leaders! I just do it online only and am successful so far!
Same. I got kicked out of the meeting I tried to go to.
Arab Princess72 I won’t! I have been online only for 11 months and have lost 50lbs! Doing and feeling great!
Kristen Lake such a bummer! We are paying customers too!
So sorry you had that experience! Seems as though it is different in different locations/territories. In ours we are allowed to give to online members. Have you been able to find all the info in your app? If you go to "my day" and scroll down click "see what's new" and you will see all the freestyle info.
Thank you for this awesome overview! My meeting tonight was a madhouse. I’m going to read my new materials from front to back. But this video was so informative. Thank you! Also, you look AMAZING.
Thank you Becky! How have you liked it so far?
I’m planning to join Weight Watchers tomorrow should I get the premium or does it matter?
Kim you look fantastic! I started Sunday on Freestyle and I’m munching on an ear of corn as I watch this. A great nighttime snack 😃
Woohooo zero point corn is where it's at!
Hi, I just found your channel. Your video gave the best explanation of the new WW Freestyle program that I have come across. I have subscribed and am looking forward to learning from you as I only have the online option where I live. Thanks Cathy
Thanks Cathy! Thanks for watching.
And not to seem particularly gripey but having people start the plan in waves instead of all together makes no sense. But I love your channel and they couldn’t have picked a better person to do the test run. I will watch the rest of your video on Saturday when I get the official information online. I’m a bit grouchy after being dismissed by my local WW.
I don't blame you. Hope you had a good first week! They did it in waves so the system didn't crash like with SmartPoints and everyone changing their weigh in day.
Such a great overview of Freestyle! I'm so excited for this new program!
Thank you! Let me know what you think!
Hiya Kim, long time no see! What a great overview of the new plan. Thanks for doing that. Freestyle sounds like a great plan. Not sure if I'll do it. Maybe try to incorporate it into what I'm already doing...always the rebel I guess! You look amazing and still so inspiring! You go girl!
Thanks so much Suzanne! So nice to "see" you! If you are happy definitely continue on what makes you happy.
Thank you for keeping it short and sweet and to the point! I bet it was hard for you to contain the secrecy when you were losing so much weight the last few months!
Yes it was very hard! I've been loving the program!
I have been doing a keto diet for a year ( no bread, pasta, starchy veg, ) could I incorporate this into the WW program?
I just sent this to a girlfriend who's on the fence about joining WW. You've inspired me so much it's not right to not share the motivation 😉😁
Aww thanks so much Wendy!
Do they still let you visit a meeting for free when you sign up for online only? I just started 2 days ago and freestyle is new from when I did the program a few years ago. Thanks!
I just dont understand how they. An add stuff to the zero point list?? It's not like they can change the calories..
Zero point foods are less likely to be overeaten.
Great explanation &
Congrats on your weight loss.
Love the new freestyle program !!
Glad you love it Darlene!
Can the Home Chef meals be incorporated into the Freestyle program?
Kim, this is a great explanation. Today is my 2nd day!
Glad it helped!
Awesome job. Question - if you have 7 left for the day and rollover 4 points which leaves you 3 points - do you get a Blue Dot day? Is the blue dot day before or after the rollover?
Thanks, Love the info.
Yes you can be 10 below or 5 over total for the day. That has nothing to do with rollovers.
Wonderful explanation of the new plan! Thanks so much. My meeting day is Thursday. I'm so excited for the new changes!
Thank you! You will love it!
Does anyone know what ur weeklies should be ,minimim amount as I only have 10 pounds to lose please?
It's different for every person based on age, sex, height and weight. Join WW online to find out your points. $20 per month.
So excited to get back on track! Thank you for sharing with us all 😀
You got this!
Started Jan 2, down 8 pounds, luv the freestyle
Fantastic!
Hi, Kim. Thanks for the explanation. In my country, Weight Watchers is still using the Smart Points program. But I'd like to try Freestyle, so could you, please, tell me if there was a reduction in the weekly extra points? Here, it's 49 weekly points. Thank you very much.
Can't wait to try the new program. Sounds like a great improvement. I get to start this friday.😉 You look awesome by the way.
Thank you! How has your first few days been?
Question. I quit weight watchers when Oprah took over because they increased the points for sweets, bread and pasta. Is this similar to the old points plus program? I was really upset when they changed it. When you cut out things completely is when I binge.
It is still using the smartpoints system for non zero point foods. Freestyle gives you more freedom in my opinion.
Meagan's Review yes- I quit too because my favorite go to foods increased in points-- then I failed :(
I heard WW lost many members .
Yes I know a few people who don't like it and won't use it now.
plant based is hands down the best diet/lifestyle. chicken and eggs are not lean! just what i’ve learned
👍👋 Hi Kim. You almost make me want to come back with the great explanation of it all. Keep up the awesome job👍👍😘
Thank you Tina! Are you still on keto?
The Fit and Fabuless Mama yes I am 😁
Pleas confirm, i am understanding this right, the point value is the same as the (sp program) ? Only you get free foods and the value goes down 23 and the weeklies are 42? Been doin weight watchers for 25 years i always struggle the transfer to the new programs. Thanks
It's different for each person based on height, weight, sex and age.
That's good for me. I like being gluten free and following a healthy diet. This definitely is good. Thanks!
Awesome!
Great video Kim! I'm loving freestyle so far! :)
So glad you are loving it!
Amazing explanation ! Thank you !
I could definetly over eat those zero point foods. It would never work for me. I started gaining weight when the made fruit zero. Glad it works for you though.
The zero points foods were selected because they are less likely to be overeaten.
I do not really like programs but, this freestyle lifestyle is easy, plenty to eat and the weight comes off. I just ask myself is a food item on the list before I eat something and if it is not I am very careful to limit those food sources. Simple!
Thank you! Quick question...I've read a blog where fruit smoothies cannot be counted as zero points. So I'm curious if this is actually true. I've been kinda hooked on this frozen fruit and veggie proportioned bags (I'm not even sure who makes it) I don't believe there is anything else added just the fruit and spinach..but if all of it is zero..it shouldn't matter how you eat it right?
Yes you do have to count blended fruit.
Kim I really am on the fence about joining again I joined many times before but now All my weight is back so I am lost I need to lose but not sure if this is gonna work what is your thoughts
On this I was gonna jump around to another program but in the meantime I keep gaining uh so frustrating helllppp
So, basically the point system still exist for breads, fats, potatoes, desserts, eating out etc... But since I have the zero point foods available, the totally points allowed is lowered from what I used to start at which is around 30.. For this program it might be around 20? Is that right?????
Yes you are right. Your daily smart point budget will be based on your age, height and weight.
Hi. Do you get the same amount of points as in the old program or are you smart points calculasted differently. Thanks so much for a great video.
Your SmartPoints would be different on Freestyle.
Hi. I just found ur channel
N
Love it! How many weekly points are you allowed each week on freestyle? And another question is what day do ur points start over is that whatever day works best for you? Example like Monday to Monday? Would that work. Thanks so much your very informative!
It's different for each person. When you join they base it on age, sex, height and weight. Yes whatever day you weigh in your points will reset and you can change that in the app.
How can I modify restaurant foods. If I order something without cheese, how would I calculate that?
You would have to put in the separate components.
Thank you so much! On the old SP program there were extra points if you went over the daily allotment. Do the four or less rollover points replace this?
No you still get your weeklies. The rollovers add to those
Great explanation! That transformation photo though....OMG!! Great job. I, too, am very close to onederland. I hope I make it by year end despite the holidays. I also am thinking of applying to ww for a job. I should lose a little bit more weight before doing so. Keep up the great work! Will you continue your RUclips channel now that you have another job. I hope to keep watching you. Happy holidays!
You should regardless of your weight. If you meet the requirements you can apply. I was hesitant too until someone said it would be great to see someone on their journey weighing people in and I was like you know what you are right. I am loving it. Yes I will continue my RUclips channel :)
Thanks Kim!!! Great information about the changes. !
Thanks! How are you doing?
You are so awesome!!! Great video, Kim!!!❤️
Thank you Laura!
How many points is protein powder now? I just started today so I’m trying to plan my meals but didn’t see it in the Pocket Guide. I didn’t get any information about the app though. I called and they said something would be mailed to me about it I guess
Brooke Danae 1
I was wondering if it onlineplus or the meeting and onlineplus that you are talking about your allowed to go to meetings? I want to do weight Watchers online but would like to go to meetings sometimes like now it’s snowing I don’t want to go to a meeting but would like to go sometimes. I also have health issues that make me feel bad so I rather do online but go to a meeting sometimes! What do I sign up for?
Sign up for Online Plus Meetings.
Thank you best explanation. ? I am on the go a lot and need to have things that I do not have to refrigerate, any prepackaged foods like shakes, snacks etc?
Head into a Weight Watchers center and they will have many options for on the go.
When there is something not on the list how do I know the point value for instant: Grits
Great way of explaining the new program . I change Thursday and lose 12 points kinda scary but exciting
How have you been liking it?
The Fit and Fabuless Mama it's taking some getting used to but hopefully it will show on the scale
I'm doing WW online. I have a hard time understanding the servings on my own recipes. Is there a video to show how to use calculate servings? Thank you
I will see if I can show the recipe builder and do a tutorial. That would be a great video.
Hi Kim, Great explanation I am going to join Weight Watchers online. Thanks for the information and inspiration.
Fantastic!
Thanks Kim! My meeting is tomorrow and I CANNOT wait 😊😊
How was your first week?
The Fit and Fabuless Mama I have not been meal ready but will be stopping at the store after tomorrow’s meeting. But I love the thinking of the new plan.
How many pounds is the program saying you can lose? Like before about 2 pounds per week I know everyone loses differently but on an average? Please let me know I am looking forward to joining the program
People following the Weight Watchers program can expect to lose 1-2 pounds per week. I lost weight on Freestyle and previous WW programs.
Hi How much oil or butter is allowed on the freestyle program...thanks
You can have as much as you want as long as you track it and it fits into your daily points.
ItsIt's EXCELLENT!!!
great job! thanks for posting.
Thank you so much for sharing the new program. I’m a online Weight watchers only. I went to a meeting and the gals checking you in didn’t know what I was talking about being able to check out the new program. But she went and found someone and she knew about it so I was able to stay and get the materials. Your video is great and I learned more from you than the meeting. Thanks again for sharing this video. I also picked up some WW snacks to try so I don’t have to order on line and pay shipping. I do have a question. Being a online member only can I go to a meeting place and buy WW products and of course not stay for the meeting?
Glad you were able to get the materials. Yes anyone can go into a center and buy product.
Why is it that when you join and do online only they never send you starter books in the mail or nothing. I think they should. Can something be done. Thank you
All the freestyle info can be found on the app. Click "my day" on the bottom left and then "see what's new" towards the bottom of that page and you will have all the freestyle info.
Great explanation!!! I love this new program!!! So excited 😊😊😊. Doing the happy dance!!
Woohoo glad you are loving it Kris!
The Fit and Fabuless Mama .....I also follow you on Instagram...look for me it's krismelissa 😘
Can I ask how your lose or gain went during the 5 week process before it was launched?
I lost 4 out of 5 weeks and only gained because of Thanksgiving week and my poor choices.
What are the blue dots you were talking about? 23 - 13 under 28 over?
That is your healthy eating range.
I hate the smart points plan ,I was a big fan of points plus ,I wonder if the freestyle plan is like points plus
No it's not. Freestyle still uses the SmartPoints values for non-zero point items.
Thanks for the explanation. I won't have the new program so soon in my country, so I'd like to understand that "roll over" thing. You said now you have 27points, so if you use 23 you can save 4 for future use in that week, is that right? Do you still have the Flex Points, or the weekly extra points? Thank you very much
Yes those 4 roll over points roll into your weeklies to use. I have 23 dailies.
Thank you so much
Hi Kim! Just wondering if you could do a RUclips video on how to take recipes from old WW cookbooks and figure out the points as it applies to the Freestyle Program? I see a ton of WW cookbooks at thrift stores, but I hold back from purchasing because the points systems are different now. Just and idea for a video. :)
Hi Misty! You would need to use the recipe builder to figure out the points. Thanks for the video idea.
Thank you for this information! So we can go over the points given? I wasnt aware of that. That will make a bit easier for me!
Yes you have weekly points you can use.
Did I understand you to say that I can attend a meeting and get the freestyle booklets? will I have to pay for the meeting? I am online only.
It depends on the location/territory. If you go on the app to "my day" and scroll down you will see all the info. Click "see what's new".
can i get the books and materials without going to a meeting?
Do you have any suggestions for people who find the program too expensive to join.
I find I spend less money since I am not eating out all the time and not eating so much snacky foods.
So I can go to one meeting free if I join as a digital member?
Yes you are entitled to attend one workshop to see if you would like to switch to workshops.
Freestyle seems exactly like the Core Plan they had over 10 years ago. I see no difference and I'm confused why freestyle has more 0 point foods because 90% of the list are fruits and vegetables that were basically 0 points already lol except the meats. Am I missing something here?
Not sure I never did Core.
Will I be getting the materials in the mail? Or do online customers just have to use online info?
Yes you can access all the info on your app. Under "my day" scroll down to "see whats new" and all info will be there.
Is there a way to get my hands on the info from the meetings ? I’m not able to go to the meetings :(
In the app on the my day page scroll to the bottom to what's new and you will see everything about freestyle
I joined the WW online only. Are you saying I can still go to meetings and get the handouts?
I'm not sure. Use the live help in your app and ask.
Where do I find that zero point food list on my WW app on my phone?
Go to "my day" then scroll down to "see what's new" and you will have all the freestyle info there.
Hi Kim. I live in South Africa & WW was liquidated last year. I was a member on the Time for Success & have the SA Food List with all the points in there. I was on 20 pointsa day. Unfortunately I'm not able to join on the digital version as it's not offered in SA. Is there anyway you could guide me as to how many points I would be allocated/allowed on this new Freestyle option & how does it differ besides the zero points list? I hope you cna help. WW has always been fantastic & I'm disappointed that the company is no longer in SA. Thanks so much.
Look up the itrackbites app. It uses the weight Watchers points system, much cheaper too.
Hi I am on my first day, but am at a loss as to what to do, have signed up for Digital.
What are your feelings about the acrylamide in the western bagels?
I love chemicals.
I have 2 questions please...Oikos Triple Zero Greek yogurt is zero points? It IS flavored but has NO sugar. Also, the Smart Points WW frozen dinners that are mostly lean chicken, will the Smart Points value be adjusted for the chicken breast being a zero food? I think I understand everything else... maybe LOL and THANK YOU 😊
Mimi's Life STAY At Home Wife I just looked it up and only the triple zero nonfat Greek is 0. The flavored ones are Points. Yes I would think if they use boneless skinless chicken they would lower the points when they redo the packaging.
The Fit and Fabuless Mama thank you very much!
youre inspiring me to revisit WW again.How do I figure out my new points?i was at 26 points on the origional Turn Around plan
When you join they will give you your daily smart points budget. It is based on age, height and weight.
Just to confirm if I go over my 23 points...say by 5...I would take 5 off my weekly's, correct?
Yes
I'm reading in the comments section there are weekly meetings and then online only. Some went to get materials in the meeting that are online members and were turned away? is there a meeting sign up price and online only sign up price? I see online plus meetings and online plus. Which is the best way to sign up and get the written materials in hand at meeting for one price. I would be upset if I was told there was another fee for a meeting if I signed up online. Seems like two separate programs. This program sounds like something I can do. Thank you
Yes online plus meetings is the ability to go to the weekly meetings and online plus is online only. That means no meetings and you have access to the online tools, the WW app, etc. See if you have a meeting in your area and you can sign up before you go or sign up when you get there. Good luck on your journey!
Thank you. Sounds like if I do the online plus meetings I should be able to get the written materials because I have paid for those two options. Makes sense and thank you for responding.
congratulations on your weight loss
I wasn't able to stay for a meeting or get materials. They made me cry and kicked me out. lol I must've been sensitive yesterday!!
I am so sorry you had that experience. Seems as though it is different in different locations/territories. In ours we are allowed to give to online members. Have you been able to find all the info in your app? If you go to "my day" and scroll down click "see what's new" and you will see all the freestyle info.
I am going to share your channel with my fellow WW members at my meeting. I think this will help them. -Sue in MI
Aww thanks Sue!
