Weight Watchers - Can someone please tell me how many points you can have in a day?

[DiscoDizzy]

I want to do this by myself at home, I'm not able to get to a meeting, nor do I want to do it online, but I have the points books etc however I need to know how many points I can have in a day. Is it dependent on weight and height? If so, i'm 5.2 and 9 st 8 oz. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

YOu don't sound like you have much to lose - I would love to be your weight! You have to have more than 10 lbs to lose and for your weight I would start on 20 pts per day, and then review it after a week - go down to 18 if nec. You can 'save' points up for the next day if you need to, or 'earn' up to 12 bonus points a week via exercise - eg 30 mins of fast walking = 2 points.

points quiz on here

come over to katybumpers if you want some support x

Thank you so much for responding and thanks for the invite Katy.

BitTiredNow - I know what you mean but its how I feel really. I am at the most i've ever been and in the last 6 months i've managed to steadily put on just around a stone in weight. I don't seem to be able to lose it although I have tried. I need to lose it to feel comfortable and happy again. Trivial to some, but not to me

wow that is a great quiz.It tells me I have 19 points a day
I'm 10st9 and 5ft6

now I need to get a ww book out the library!

i use the site all the time although i go to ww meetings too.the ww site is good.it's free if you just use the community bit and has some great tips and support

yes i'm 19 points too. DH is 29 points per day. I'm really going to have to try this. My arse and stomach are spreading as we speak. Even my father said to me the other day (he doesn't mince his words) 'you're facing is changing shape love' - this was just after we'd talked about weight issues.

ww works.i've lost 16 lbs in 8 weeks.

Ive just gone down to 20 points, 2lbs more & ive lost a stone

wow well done cherryyyellow82

yeah well done cherry yellow

blimey just having a look on the sandwich bit of that site and a large chicken baguette can be as much as 16 points

lol some of the points values are aren't they

Posie, i'm off for an indian tomorrow night and a chicken jalfrezi itself is 19 points. Which means if I am to start tomorrow I must starve myself all day and when I get there I can only eat the jalfrezi and nothing else. Methinks I may have to start properly on Friday.

start the wendie plan and have it as your shd

Sorry pardon?

the wendie is a way of shuffling your points so you have a shd(superhighday) and a sld (superlowday) it is supposed to help as it confuses your metabolism and gives it a boost.sorry i made it sound rude
it's all on the site i linked to

Oh thanks. I shall have a wendie then. Oh i'm going to know all the lingo soon, you see. BTW just wanted to comment how nice you seem to be, you really seem to be supporting and encouraging all these people wishing to lose weight. Had a little lurk on your other thread.

thanks
come over,we promise to be helpful and we are not that bad x
