NWR: WW question

Okay, ladies I thought I would give this a try and signed up for the free online trial. so maybe im missing something here.. they calculated my daily points to be 18 points a day... and I always go over, and Im trying so hard to stay within those points!

Does anyone know how they calculate those points to come up wtih your daily points number?

The number of points allotted in a day are a computation of your current weight with the amount of weight you want to loose. 18 is kind of low, do you want to loose a lot of weight? That is the only reason the points allotted would be so low. You are so skinny you don't need to loose ANYTHING!

My allowence is 20 points a day and I rarely ever go over. What types or food are you eating???

I eat a yogurt in the morning and my coffee (with milk and sugar though, but not alot at all) and then salad for lunch.. maybe Im adding the points wrong?

Haha - I was about to type this.

Ok - I'm 5'0 and I weight 122.5lbs. I need to lose like 8 lbs before the wedding and I have 18 points per day I'm supposed to eat...

If you're 116, I'm not sure you should lose more than 5 more lbs...

This should give me 22 .. not 18?

make sure u eat some sory of meat and dairy for the day..! i allllllllllways go under.. i eat soo much but only use like 10-13 points (im allowed 20)

o shyt i lost more weight nvmd.. i have to recalculate mine.. but anyway

dont use all ur points if u want to drop the weight.. and go swimming and do CARDIO.

eat a trangle low fat cheese, soy milk with fiber 1 cereal for breakfast... do not have yogurt.. i dont fidn them filling and they are 2-3 points (not worth it).

and u NEED MEAT!!!!

also eat foods that make u pooop..

poop = weight loss.

We are the exact same weight and I want to lose the same amount. I cut out sugars, breads and pastas, I'm also eatinf smaller portions and only drinking water, so far I lost 5 lbs. -- maybe you can try something similar since you don't have to lose too much.

you are too too funny! I love it!

i wouldnt go that route of cutting things out.. you'll end up binging. just eat smaller portions and jog on a treadmill for 30 min a few times a week.

eat less, move more


i lost 20 lbs and i eat chocolate everyday

Remember, you also have your weekly allowance of 35 which you can do whatever you want with. So if you have 18 per day, you also have another 35 to do whatever with that renews every week. You could technically give yourself another 5 points each day if you want, upping your daily target to 23.

Also, to mention (I mentioned in another thread too) - I'm a WW leader, so if you have any other questions, let me know.

Oh I'm so sorry! I didn't know you wer 4'10!! Totally different. I'm 5'0 (probably even 4'11 and 3/4'')...for some reason I thought you were saying you're like 5'5.

So...I honestly have been AWFUL with counting because I CANT seem to just eat 18 points! And I NEVER eat fast food, greasy food, all things that are obvious to take out..ugh,.it's so annoying being short. Like you said - every lb extra is so much more obvious.

Here is a sample day of when I'm focused:
1. Breakfast: 3 egg whites = 1.5 points
with an apple = 1 point
with coffee and 2 Tbsp 1/2 and 1/2 = 1

Or... Quaker instant oatmeal (good to have a carb like that in the morning) = 2 points
Total Breakfast: 3.5 points

2. Lunch: Whole Wheat (small) pita = 3 points
Dr. Praeger's california veggie burger = 1pt
veggies and fat free dressing in it = 0-1pt
Total Lunch: 5 points

3. Various options for Snacks: Tall Skim Latte (starbucks) = 2 points
1 Wedge Laughing Cow Light Swiss spreadable cheese w/ 5 Carr's table water crackers = 2 points total.
Light n' Fit Yogurt: 2 points
Veggie sticks = 0 points
Total Snack:4 points (usually would have 2 2-point snacks throughout the day)

4. Dinners: (I have a ton of WW recipes printed in a binder in my kitchen.)
Chinese Take-out of Steamed Vegetable, Steamed chicken with black bean sauce (no rice) = 6 points
Oven-baked Tilapia or catfish with light sauce and steamed veggies = 4-5 points, depending on what I eat.
or.. 3oz Roasted Pork Tenderloin (trimmed before cooking - it's very lean surprisingly) = 4 points, with a 2 point side dish..

Total for day: 18-19 points

So apparently I can make a list...but why won't I just do it?!

You're a WW leader!!? AMAZING! What do you think of the post I wrote right under yours? Do I seem to know what to do? I've been working out every day (or at least 6 times a week) since early December...and I've stayed the same but its because I've gained muscle, lost inches and toned!
