On May 22nd, our current Community Challenge functionality will retire. Don’t worry though; you won’t miss it for long! On that very same day, we are launching a whole new Challenge section that will help motivate you to achieve your weight and activity goals.
What does this mean for current challenges?
Well, to make room for the new ones, we have to remove the old ones. If you are a Challenge owner or you participate in a Challenge today, we ask you to do the following steps:
- Save any photos you may have posted to the Challenge wall.
- Become Community Friends with other participants in your Challenges. That way, you can invite them to participate in your new Challenges.
- Spread the word throughout the Community. Let other participants know through discussions and wall posts that there is a new Challenge plan.
Believe us when we tell you that we would not ask you to do these tasks for nothing. On launch day, there will be great new features coming your way that we know you will love.
What can you expect?
- Weight Tracker and Activity Tracker challenges that connect to the Plan Manager when subscribers check into their Challenge
- Options to compete in teams or against other individuals
- Top ranking scoreboards, so you can see who’s in the lead
- A new Winners Circle where your profile picture can display once you reach the Challenge goal
- A chance to share your progress to your Community Profile page or to other social networks like Facebook and Twitter
Get ready! This is just another great way to help get you to your goals.

We all know that eating out can be challenging, especially when you’re trying to be soooo good and soooo diligent with your weight-loss plan! It doesn’t help when your best-laid plans are thrown into confusion when the waiter hands you a plate as big as a bicycle wheel and a burrito the size of a toddler.
However, we also know that the great thing about the Weight Watchers program is that you can eat out and still lose weight, as we’ve got plenty of tools to help you navigate the portion minefield. We don’t expect you to keep your Easy Measure measuring cups in your back pocket (though, kudos to you if you do!), but we do want you to know when a portion is totally out of control. Check out the new Portion Estimator where we show you how to use your hands to help you right there in the restaurant. Also included are little tips and tricks that will help you see your plate of food for what it really is — whether friend or foe. Perfect the art of eating out guilt-free, without having to whip out your measuring utensils on a Saturday night out!
