Question on Points
Is there a website or something that shows me how many points I should
have per day based on my height/weight. I haven't signed up for WW, and do not have much money to join. |

Question on Points
Hi Hoops, and welcome! Here's our welcome notice which will give you a lot
of good information. I'm just about to post the weekly FAQ too, so look out for that. Welcome to this great newsgroup where you'll receive lots of support, advice, and encouragement. Once a week on Sundays, I post a list of links that newcomers to asdww might find useful. You may want to look for that later in the week, or do a backwards search for last Sunday's post. In the meantime, here's our FAQ: http://www.didian.com/asdww/ our welcome notice: http://www.geocities.com/welcomenotice/index.html Frequently seen acronyms on this NG: NSV = Non-Scale Victory WOE = Way of Eating WOL = Way of Life (Living) OP = on Points or On Program DH = Dear or Darling Husband DS/DD/DGD/etc = Dear or Darling Son, Daughter, Granddaughter, etc WI = Weigh-in Amberle3's Challenges: THTP - Take Heart, Take Part Exercise Challenge: http://www.angelfire.com/me4/travelgirl/thtp.htm RafL - Resolutions are for Losers Weight Loss Challenge: http://www.angelfire.com/me4/travelgirl/rafl.htm Other acronyms: http://www.wwlissa.com/dwlz100+/100+acronyms.htm Here's a short synopsis of the USA program by Joyce - How many points you can eat is only based on your current weight, as you lose weight those points allowed will decrease (logic is that your body will need less to operate). At 183 pounds and based on the new US flexpoints system, you will have a set point target of 24. In addition to this you are allowed 35 flexpoints to be used throughout the week ... as well as any activity points you earn on a particular day. When your weight drops to 175, your target drops to 22 points ... weight reaches 150, target once again drop to 20 points. 3 servings of dairy of recommended per day, 5 servings of fruit and veggies, minimum of 6 glasses of water. To calculate food and activity points, I love this computer desktop calculator ... http://www.zythra.com/downloads/points.exe The basic plan is easy. Eat at least your minimum daily number of points. Points do not carry over from day to day. You are allotted 35 weekly flexpoints to be used at your discretion ... can divide them up and use daily (would be an additional 5 points per day) or save them and use them for a special occassion during the week. Activity points are earned based when exercising, but can ONLY be used on the day they are earned. If you can afford $15/month, the online ww program might be a great thing for you to look into. There is lots of information available, as well as the food point database and journaling system. Joyce WW starting weight: 228.8 - 2/5/02 current weight: 133.3 Lifetime: 4/4/03 Please note that if you live in onther countries (UK, Australia, NZ, Europe), the Points plans are different. The UK and Australia/NZ calculate points based on saturated fat and total kilojoules. Most of Europe calculates based on total fat and total kilojoules. The desktop calculator above can handle all of these programs. Disclaimer: As an unmoderated Usenet newsgroup, asdww is unusual in that most of the people who participate are respectful, considerate folks who freely share their experience with and knowledge of WW, weight loss, and maintenance. Yet occasionally, spammers, trolls, and flamers show up to post advertising, false information, insults, and the like. Nearly all of the time, people like this are just trying to yank someone's chain. Most of the regulars on this newsgroup offer their experience as a suggestion to try if you're stuck, but are quick to advise that each person has to find what works for him/herself. If someone posts something that doesn't sound right to you, ask the newsgroup, ask your WW leader, or ask your health professional. Much success on your weight loss journey!
