Question: What is the "equation" to calculate your personal daily Weight Watchers points.?
Me & my husband are going on Weight Watchers on our own. We would go to the meetings but can't afford it. I was on Weight Watchers && the only book i can't find is the week 1 book. If somebody has that book, could they PLEASE tell me the personal point equation.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
To find your daily points allowance, give yourself the number of points listed next to the option that fits your situation best:

Your sex:
If you are female- score 2 points
If you are male- score 8
If you are nursing- score 12

Your age:
17 to 26- score 4
27 to 37- score 3
38 to 47- score 2
48 to 58- score 1
Over 58- score 0

Your current weight:
Enter the first 2 digits of your weight in pounds. If you are 175 lbs for example, you would enter "17".

Your height:
under 5'1"- score 0
5'1" to 5'10"- score 1
Over 5'10"- score 2

Your activity level on most days of the week, how do you spend your day.?:
sitting down- score 0
occassionally sitting, but mostly standing- score 2
walking most of the time- score 4
doing physically hard work most of the time- score 6

Add up all your scored points- that is your daily points target.

As you celebrate your birthday, increase your daily activity, or as you lose weight, you will need to keep retaking this quiz to most accurately figure your points allowance

I think the equation is quite complicated. Here is a link to points for lots foods. http://dwlz.com/WWinfoTOC.html
In general, you should have 20 points a day, taking off 2 points per half hour of exercise. Veggies (some exeptions like avocado, corn, etc.) count as zero points. A tip to loosing weight: reduce your meat intake. I lost 10 pounds by going vegetarian. If you research the system you can find a lot of info on it. Health Question & Answer
