WW Guide for Menopause

“I’ve been a Weight Watchers member for over 20 years, and I was a loyalist. But for the last three years, the plan I knew and loved just stopped working. I was tracking every Point, staying in my blue dots, and still gaining weight, especially around my middle. I was so frustrated I was about to quit. This new ‘Weight Watchers for Menopause’ program is the answer I’ve been praying for. It’s not just about Points; it’s about the quality of those points. The shift to prioritize protein and fiber has been a revelation. It’s the first time in years the scale has moved, the ‘meno-belly’ is finally shrinking, and I’m not starving to do it. Thank you, WW, for finally ‘getting’ us!”

“I was skeptical, thinking ‘it’s just another diet.’ But the 20 pounds I couldn’t lose was just one part of my problem. The brain fog and 3 PM fatigue were the worst. I honestly felt like I was losing my mind. The WW for Menopause plan isn’t just a diet; it’s a lifestyle reset. It taught me how to eat to stabilize my blood sugar—prioritizing protein and fiber, not just ‘low-cal’ snacks that left me hungry. About two weeks in, the fog just… lifted. It was incredible. The weight is coming off (12 lbs so far!), but the real miracle is that I have my brain back. I feel sharp, energetic, and in control again.”

“My old WW trick was just to add more cardio. I was on that treadmill 5 days a week, and I was just tired, hungry, and getting ‘skinny-fat’ (losing muscle, keeping the belly). The WW for Menopause plan is the first time the program finally emphasized what we really need: STRENGTH. Using the the new protein-focused food plan to support it—has changed my body shape completely. I’m building visible muscle, my clothes fit better, and the ‘meno-belly’ is tightening up. I’m eating more (but smarter), working out less (but smarter), and the fat is melting off. I feel strong, not just ‘smaller’.”

“I joined the WW for Menopause program desperate to lose the stubborn weight, but what I got was so much more. My hot flashes and night sweats were out of control. I was exhausted from insomnia and felt anxious all the time, which just made me want to eat junk. This program is so much more than food. The workshops and community (the ‘Connect’ feature) are focused on all our symptoms. By changing my food to be less inflammatory (thanks to the new plan) and using the mindset and sleep-tracking tools, my hot flashes are 80% better. I’m sleeping through the night for the first time in years. The weight loss (down 15 lbs!) is honestly just the bonus at this point.”

“This program is the total package. The new tailored Points system is brilliant—it just works for my 53-year-old body. But the best part for me was the new ‘WW Clinic’ add-on. I was able to talk to a clinician who actually listened and understood menopause. My symptoms were severe, and we decided to pair the WW food plan with Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). The combination of the amazing, easy-to-follow diet (which manages my weight) and the HRT (which killed my night sweats and anxiety) is the 1-2 punch I needed. This is the first program that truly understands it’s not just about food, and it gave me all the tools I needed in one place.”
