Hi Nancy, thanks for visiting the site.
The reason for the point discrepancy is that the quiz above is for the old point plan (before december 2010). You are doing the new points plus plan, for which 29 points would be correct for you and is also the lowest amount allowed.
I wouldn’t recommend eating less than the 29 points and instead would try to make up for them with more activity. Any little bit helps and if you can get into a regular routine you will see great resluts. I hope this helps, check in once in awhile and let us know your progress. Best Wishes 🙂
Hi Dan,
I started following the plan about three months ago and experienced some success. However, I have come back to get information for points/food and I notice it is different. I was comfortable following the old plan – – tell me, is everything on this site still in sync with the old plan? Is it just the points finder that is different?
Thanks!
Hi there, JC. Don’t worry, the old plan isn’t going away. I have started to add info for the new plan but it should be clearly labeled and the old info will always be available also. The points calculator has been updated to calculate points for the new and old plans but the numbers are still the same. You will be able to continue the old plan without a problem. Thanks for visiting!
Hey Dan thank you very much for taking the time to answer all of our questions, I truly appreciate it. I will definitely get back on track with my activity routine and I guess my only concern is what can I do when I am not sure what to do when I am not sure how many points is a certain food? Sometimes when you visit your friends and/or sudden cravings? This has happened to me once in a while and I’ve eaten foods I was not sure about and did add the points but without knowing exactly what was in it. ( I shouldn’t have eaten it in the first place right?) Some family members won’t take no for an answer lol you must eat their food or else is insulting lol. Thank you Dan!
Hey Nancy, there will definitely be times when all you can do is take an honest guess. Just try to keep it as healthy as possible, remember to watch your portion sizes and give it your best estimate based on past experiences and you will be fine.
Thanks so much for this site! It’s great and has so much info to help us.
Thank you Chrissy!
SO in order to zigzag the points, How do I know how many points I need to plan on eating every day? I added all mine up and according to my info I am allowed 27 pts a day before exercise pts. I will add my exercise pts once I exercise. Also, what do we do with the extra 35 pts at the end of the week? Do we eat them or what?
Thanks
Hey Tizz, I’m not sure exactly what you mean by zigzaging points…
Exercise points are only good on the day that they are earned so you have to use ’em or lose ’em. The 35 bonus points is pretty much up to you. Most people use some of them but many use all and say that it actually helps them continue to lose weight all the way to their goals.
If you do use them try not to waste them on ‘junk’ foods. Keep it as healthy as possible and you won’t have a problem (and you can always cut back if you don’t lose)
Hi Dan, again…thanks for this website. I’m just starting WW and this is very helpful for me, the points and activity calculator. I’m 5’9 and 183. I believe my daily points allowance is 26, if calculated correctly (I mainly stand and walk at work). How do I calculate my weekly point allowance. I’m very grateful for your site and feedback. Thanks!
Hi RK, thanks for the kind words. Your daily allowance sounds about right depending on your age. The weekly point allowance (bonus points) is 35 points and is the same for everyone. Hope this helps you out, let me know if you have any other questions and thanks for using the site 🙂
Dan,
I am on week 4 (begging of week 4). My first week I lost 3 lbs (yay!) but every week after that I have lost 0 lbs (boo!) I work out really hard by doing insanity or turbo fire workouts. I use the WW activity calulator to calculate my APs I don’t know if that is accurate but I’m finding I’m not eating all my APs either or my weekly point. Am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions are WELCOME. I feel desperate as I know I’m sticking to the plan and eating healthy and working out hard. I just feel I should see some results…like .5lbs / week even would be a step in the right direction.
Hello
I just started on Sunday and need to loose 10 pounds. I am eating 18-23 points a day and exercising. Any words of wisdom? This is site is great 🙂
