WW girls (08er crashing)

How exactly does weight watchers work? I know that depending on your weight, you have a certain number of points and you can't pass those points in a given day...how many points would I have? I weigh 125 and i'm 5'2 (I hope I didn't gain )
And also, is that all that it's about, eating a certain amount of points a day? If that's the case, what's the point of joining....

Re: WW girls (08er crashing)

I thought the same thing too. I was like 'Oh, I will just find out how many points I need and then eat that.' The problem was, I didn't know how many points i needed and they have the point tracker built into the website and they have the point value of EVERY food online...much easier than the books I have seen. That being said, i am 5'4 and weighed 130 when I joined and I started with 21 points and then as I lost weight went down to to 20. For me, I really needed the point tracker. Since the wedding I have not tracked my food and I am sure I have gained back most, if not all or more than that weight.

Every now and then I do WW and I notice that when I try to do it on my own ( I have the book with all the information) I dont loose weight b/c I dont have the motivation....but for me and my FH work pretty good. If you need more info FM

Re: WW girls (08er crashing)

There are two diff plans on WW. One is the flex plan, which is what I do and you really do need to join for it IMO. It keeps you on track. Esp if you do the flex plan, bc unless youre a mad mathematician and can figure out the equation of how to figure out what diff foods are in points, you wont get anywhere. I do it online and you need to be using the point calculator and tracker to find out the points of what you eat and log it, and also to log your weight progress. There are lots of other things you are able to use online that help with the whole process. Plus, we could guess how many points you'd get per day, but Im not positive what theyd suggest for you. The point calculator and the system where you can look up just about any food for how many points it is makes it SUPER easy for you.
