Here's a refresher: Your ultimate weight goal must be at least five pounds less than your joining weight, and should fall within the Weight Watchers healthy weight ranges. The goal may fall outside the weight ranges if accompanied by a note from a healthcare professional recommending that weight.

The Smart Points system meticulously considers macronutrients - carbohydrates, protein, fats - and fiber content, assigning points after this evaluation. The method champions the intake of lean proteins, whole grains, and non-starchy veggies, while discouraging processed foods and added sugars.

When you hit that goal weight, your daily PointsPlus® Target will be increased, by 6 PointsPlus values per day. That's not the free-for-all that many people may be expecting! (There's certainly more than 6 PointsPlus values in a pint of posh ice-cream…)

A goal weight is a number also used to measure success with a diet or any lifestyle changes. In order to succeed in improving your health and wellness, you must reach this particular number.

A SMART weight goal means you're setting a goal that is:

1. Specific. Instead of saying “I want to exercise more,” consider setting a specific goal, such as “I will walk 10,000 steps 5 days a week.”
2. Measurable. Choose a goal that you can measure.
3. Attainable. Set a reasonable weight goal or process goal.
4. Relevant.
5. Time-bound.

Every member gets a tailored Points Budget and streamlined list of over 200 ZeroPoint foods. Compared to programs of the past, we now use advanced nutrition science to factor in more food label data, like added sugars, fiber, and unsaturated fats, to guide you toward the healthiest foods.

Every food is assigned a specific number of SmartPoints based on a formula that takes into account the carbs, protein, calorie, sugar and fat content. Every subscriber is then given a daily SmartPoints goal and he or she can then decide how to spend the points.

Flexible and Personalized: Weight Watchers provides a flexible program that allows members to choose the foods they eat while tracking their intake using a points system. The program is also personalized to each individual, taking into account their unique goals, lifestyle, and preferences.

And you lost the weight! Trouble is, when the number on the scale hits your projected goal weight, you may find your motivation waning – and vices like soda and fries calling your name. The key to maintaining your weight loss: Drop the “I'm on a diet” mentality, which may lead you into yo-yo territory.

But do you really know what's realistic? Over the long term, it's smart to aim for losing 1 to 2 pounds (0.5 to 1 kilogram) a week. Generally to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week, you need to burn 500 to 1,000 calories more than you consume each day, through a lower calorie diet and regular physical activity.
