Any other WW girls only allowed 18 points a day?

I am only allowed 18 points a day.. and even with the 35 weekly points, I am finding it to be SO hard to not go over.

ANyone else having this problem?

Are you doing the new WW or the old one?

With the newer version they upped all the points.

Also, are you just maintaining or trying to lose weight? Are you super tiny now?

Wait, what do you mean they 'upped the points'??? Is this good or bad news for me? hahaha

I was doing the old one.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks Kerri!!

I need to lose about 7 lbs but I am only 5'0, so that's a lot on a short gal like me.

I think it has to do with how much you currently weigh..

My daily points just went from 23 to 22 because I'm down 5 pounds. So I'm pretty sure that has something to do wih it.

My secret is raking up activity points every day so I can eat more.

HTH!

Congrats on the 5 pounds by the way! :)

Do you do the old or new one? Yeah - when I was much heavier, I used to get to eat 21 a day along with teh 35 weekly points...that was much easier.

I've never done WW but I just used a calculator I found online and according to that I would only get 17 points a day!

Maybe I did it wrong.

Yea they go down as you lose weight Jen.

BUT... they revamp their program every now and again. And as of recently (which could be within the last 2 years) they re-organized their point system and now you get more points a day.

I think 18 points is VERY low for the program they have out now... so that sounds like the older version. I think you should check with WW to see what your points should be. Do you do it on-line or do you go to a center?

Thanks! I think the reason I'm on 22-23 points is because I'm 5'7...I'm not heavy (I'm a size 6-8 in clothes)-so its gotta be the whole height/weight/goal. And obviously as you move closer to your goal (i.e. the last 5 pounds) you will need to limit what you eat.

Hmm.. I don't know. Maybe I'm just a fat a$$ because last time I did it I had like 27 pts. Haha!

My MOH has like 35 points a day!!!!

With the old program I was at like 23 or 24 and she was at like 29 or so?? I don't remember exact numbers.

If you guys really want... FM me your weight and what else do I need to know? Is that it? I can ask my co-worker who does WW online to plug the numbers in and see what points she comes up with. I didn't ask her about it yet... but I don't think she would have a problem with it. I used to do it online... but I cancelled it once I started Jenny Craig.

Kerri you are so NOT a fat a$$..

My friend just joined and she's on 26 points..

I think your points also has a lot to do with your activity levels-if your active at work all day, you can probably get more points added to your daily allotment rather than if you sit at a desk..

Yes they do! That's part of the survey after you enter your weekly weigh in weight.

I've done WW sooooooooo many times! Their recipes are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've tried a bunch!

I found a calculator online that told me the amount of points I should have. It's around the same as when I did WW in the past but somehow I am ALWAYS hungry!

HAHAHA.. I ALWAYS feel like one!
I have a lot of weight left to lose!!! Then hopefully I won't feel that way anymore. I'm down overall 30 lbs from my all time high but also wayyyy up from my all time low!!! It's going to be a bumpy road!!!

Thank you though!

OMG I used to struggle to get all my points in sometimes. I was putting ricotta cheese in my ziti to get my points in.

Do you use the 35 flex points?

Try having some soup too.. the warmth of the soup can be fulling. And there are a TON of things you can eat for little or no points. Especially now.. they have bread for 1 point and yogurt for 1 point. And there's even a recipe for mashed califlour; I think that's like 3 points.

Omg - I'd LOVE to get to eat like 25 points a day... the only reason I'm 18 points a day isn't really because i'm so thin, it's because i'm fricken like BARELY 5 feet tall!!

I'm always hungry and I'm a foodie, love to cook, etc. I just wanna get rid of this stubborn arm-jiggle-iggle.

Hope it'll come off soon! At 5'0, any extra weight REALLY shows.

That can happen, but the minimum anyone is allowed to have a day is 18, so you'd have to eat 18 a day.

That makes a little more sense. I didn't realize you were that short! Hee hee. One of my BM's is just about the same height as you.

You know what helps me??

HOT SAUCE!!

Its proven that the spicier a food is, the more satisfying-so if you eat spicy food you eat a lot less.

Girl I'm putting hot sauce on everything! LOL

Oh yes! I'm THAT short!

Sometimes I love it, AKA shoes look cute in a size 5, hahaa. But more often it's hard!

I just have to have more self control if I'm only allowed the 18 points a day, plus the 35 weeklies. And I guess another saviour would be trying to more activity points.
