What is WW?
WW is a reimagined, flexible approach to improving overall wellness. Weight Watchers has reshaped its old diet model and now focuses on creating a healthier relationship with food and mood. WW includes science-based tools to help you plan or purchase delicious meals (check out these 30+ easy meals for the whole family), shift your mindset and reach your goals, whatever they may be. What hasn’t changed? King County still pays for half of your membership*.
NEW tools available
WW members can take advantage of several new additions to the WW app. You can join online support groups to share tips, recipes and words of encouragement. As you track your healthy activities, you’ll gain access to guided meditations from Headspace, on-demand workouts via Aaptiv, and other great features.
