NEW YORK, NY (November 16, 2020) — Today, WW International, Inc. (NASDAQ: WW), has introduced myWW+ which offers a more holistic approach to weight loss and wellness that focuses on food, activity, mindset and sleep - pillars of health which have a measurable impact on success. Building on the massive success of the myWW program and through a deeply enriching, more interactive and personalized app experience, myWW+ offers members a plan that works best for them with new tools designed to make weight loss easier.

One of the newest features with myWW+ is the Weekly Check-in - a personalized, holistic view of your progress within the app. Members can now review how their week went and automatically receive a Progress Report to see the full picture related to food, activity, mindset and sleep. For the upcoming week, members create an Action Plan by selecting suggested actionable goals or creating their own. Their weekly goal will be displayed to help maintain focus throughout the week. With these new tools that digitize and customize behavioral goal-setting, people will stay engaged and on track to successfully reach their goals.
“With our expertise in behavior change, we go beyond the basics of education and guidance and offer a personalized, action-oriented approach for our members,” said Gary Foster, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer, WW. “What’s particularly compelling about myWW+ is that we have been able to scale behavior change like never before by taking science-based principles and translating them into digital tools to make the weight and wellness journey easier for all of our members.”
In addition to understanding your progress and setting goals, myWW+ offers even more features focused on key wellness elements to make the weight loss journey easier and more successful, such as:
The app still includes popular features, such as food, water and activity trackers, the barcode scanner, and Connect - WW’s members-only digital community.
