Weight Watchers points for men???

[KristiKelly]

I have been doing weight watchers and have lost 14 pounds this year, I have reached my goal, but have become very slack this summer going to meetings (& with the kids being home all summer, I've gained about 6 of those lbs back). Anyway, DH recently said that he'd like to lose 10 lbs, but he's not going to go to WW meetings. I remember hearing a few years back that men could get more points per day than women & had a different chart (don't know if that was true), but I recently heard someone say that it is all the same now. Does anyone know if the point scale is the same for men as it is for women? For ex. I fall in the less than 150 / 20 point per day (+ any flex), would the same hold true for a man? If it is different, could someone please share it with me please, please, please. I'd like for him to lose his 10 & I re-lose my 6 before our Oct. trip to WDW, I'm sure DH will lose all 10 before I lose even 2, men are so lucky. Thanks for any info you have.

You're right- men's points targets are figured on the same chart as women's on the current program.

Here's the Points Target chart:
<table border="5">
<tr><td> <b>Your Weight Now <td> <b>POINTS Target
<tr><td> less than 150 pounds <td> 20
<tr><td> 150 to 174 pounds <td> 22
<tr><td> 175 to 199 pounds <td> 24
<tr><td> 200 to 224 pounds <td> 26
<tr><td> 225 to 249 pounds <td> 28
<tr><td> 250 to 274 pounds <td> 30
<tr><td> 275 to 299 pounds <td> 31
<tr><td> 300 to 324 pounds <td> 32
<tr><td> 325 to 349 pounds <td> 33
<tr><td> 350 pounds or more <td> 34
</table>

And then everyone gets the same 35 FlexPoints per week.
