how many daily points?

I did WW years ago but no longer have the books, and cannot afford to pay
for meetings or their website. I just bought the starter books on Ebay, but
while I wait for the books, can someone please tell me how many daily points
I should allow for myself? I don't know what you need to know to determine
that for me, but here is some info. I'm 5' 6", weight 265, 41 years old,
want to lose 100-110. What point total should I follow? I found a site
that I can use that tells points of food, so I want to start while I wait
for my starter books to arrive. Thanks in advance if you can help me with
the points.

There's now a quiz you take to determine your points,

Basically

female 2
Age 2
weight 26 (first 2 digits of your weight
Height 1
How do you spend your day
Sitting down 0
Occaisionally sitting but mainly standing 2
Walking most of the time 4
Physically hard work 6

So for you, you get 31, plus whatever for how you spend your day. Every 10
pounds, you lose a point off your target.

I only put in the values applicable to you, rather than copy out the whole
quiz.

Tell them your inssurance is Kaiser, they'll waive the joining fee (never
check IDs)...

After that it's 12$ to get the material and explanations..

Stormlady -- Can you tell me the target points for my husband: Male,
5'9" age 50, weight 204, work: walks most of the time. I belong to WW
Online but it only will tell MY target, no way to calculate for
someone else. Thank so much!!

For the points - you can get the points calculation at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_Watchers (to calculate your own)
and you can get good food nutritional values free from the
http://www.CalorieKing.com database (more comprehensive than the WW
online database)
