Weight Watchers Question

[Bella the Ball 360]

I have gone to WW many times in the past. I have decided to try it on my own this time b/c it is not as easy as it once was to get to meetings. Anyway I was just wondering. My friend who weighs 179 and it is NOT me told me that they told her she has only 19 pts per day and no extra points per week! She decided not to go. Could this be true? I was always told we needed to EAT all of our points and not under eat but if this is true I just wonder how it would work out. Does more weight come off or do you just end up at a stand still earlier?

I'm doing WW online because it's hard for me to get to meetings too. You ought to look into it.

As to your question- I'm not sure. Your friend might want to try that and see if it helps.First though, I would recommend "revving" up the activity though and staying with the recommended point- 24 for that weight I believe. I never use all of my flex points, but use some during the week.

That isn't how the new plan works. Looking in my new book....

Assuming Female, under 27, 179 lbs, short, no activity points would be 23/day + 35 flex points/week.

Assuming Female, over 58, 179 lbs, short, no activity, points would be 19 + the 35 flex points /week. if she's over 5'1" you add points, if you do any activity in daily living you add points.

The 19 would be totally sedentary and under 5'1. Flex points are for everyone.

Just seconding what everyone else said however I'll add that the meetings are a huge help. It's nice to be acocuntable to someone when you put those extra brownies in your mouth If I'm just weighing myself I'll be pretty easy on myself for overeating but there I never want them to think I'm not following the program.
