APPS WE LOVE
WeightWatchers
WW takes the storied company’s holistic approach to weight loss to the next level with interactive meal-planning tools, recipes customized to what you already have in your fridge, and audio coaching to help you meet your health goals.
Who it’s for: The health-conscious who are looking for a complete wellness solution. (The app begins with a personal assessment of what impacts weight loss for you—food, sleep, or thought patterns.)
What sets it apart: Weight Watchers’ tried-and-true point system. Each food is assigned a number of points—all you have to do is tally those up while enjoying the foods you love. And checking a food’s point count is simple with the app: Just scan the package’s barcode or type in a description.
Don’t miss: With a Digital 360 membership, you can join livestreamed sessions with coaches who specialize in habit building, meal prep, and more.
Meet the creator: Weight Watchers founder Jean Nidetch started out by inviting friends over to discuss weight-loss strategies in the early ’60s.
