Weight Watchers comes with plenty of recipes to try, but sometimes they just don’t fit your needs. If you want WW recipes from people who have a busy lifestyle or eating habits similar to your own, the best option is to go to YouTube and look around.
You will find all sorts of videos from people who had to get creative with meals to find what worked best for them. They are now willing to share their success stories and delicious meals with you.
1. Jenn Clayton
Jenn’s WW Journey is a great channel whether you’re looking for WW recipes or DIY decor for your home. She creates recipes that offer up a lot of protein and are quick to make for any single woman or family.
She also understands that one of the biggest downsides to Weight Watchers is that it’s not always budget-friendly. She creates several videos about Weight Watchers-friendly recipes that come entirely from the Dollar Store for those who want to lose weight on a tight income.
2. Lena’s Weight Loss Diary
If you want to go through Weight Watchers with someone, then Lena is the person to follow on YouTube. She goes through some realistic struggles, such as trying to avoid fast food.
One of her biggest issues was learning to adapt as her points decreased. When she first started out, she had enough points that it was easy enough to eat whatever she wanted. However, she started to struggle as she lost weight trying to find foods that filled her up and fit within her daily points.
She shares some of these struggles and filling copycat recipes on her channel. One of her great copycat recipes is the bean and cheese burrito from Taco Bell.
3. Winning at Weight Loss
If you’re someone who travels a lot or always seems to have a party to go to, you may find yourself constantly having cheat days. Winning at Weight Loss is here to help people exactly like you. She offers up all sorts of tips and tricks for weight loss.
However, what makes her channel one of the top ones for those looking for Weight Watchers recipes is that she shares all parts of her life.

Of course, don’t forget to check out her normal WW recipes for when you’re at home and looking for a few meals to cook yourself.
4. Dish With Dee
Sometimes, it seems like everyone on Weight Watchers is a little younger. They have busier lives and faster metabolisms, meaning they get a few more points. While this isn’t usually a big deal, sometimes they have a lot more points a day than you would, which makes it hard to use them as a guide sometimes.
If you’re looking for someone who is at the same point in life as you, it’s worth checking out Dee and her YouTube channel. She creates her own recipes, but also tests out others to tell you if they work, if they taste good, and if they are worth the effort.
She started her weight loss journey at the age of 57 and has made great progress. Check out her Sheet Pan Brownie recipe below to see if she’s a good fit for you.

6. Lauren Jansen
Lauren Jansen is a woman who is a busy mother who still manages to make time for crafting the perfect Weight Watchers recipes. She shows the realistic side of what WW looks like for a busy mom always on the go.
