what a great web site, I just started weight watchers, when your calculating the points for ” fat ”
I take you mean the trans fat number ?
I am 66 years old, so I had a hard road ahead of me because of my age, is there any avice you could give me to help me lose weight (please don’t say I have to exercise)
Hey there Lucy Ann! Welcome to the site. When calculating the points for an item it is the Total Fat that you need to enter.
Exercise is the best tool to help kick start your weight loss but it does not have to be what most people think of when you say the word ‘exercise’. There are low impact types (like swimming) that can be done, anything more than what you did before starting WW will help. Even going for a short walk every evening…Good luck with your goals!
THANK you soooooooooooo much….THis has shown me the food points which i needed to know badly ,Now I can shop and go to resturants and know exactly how to handle my points…THANK YOU AGAIN !!!!!!
Your welcome heather. Thank you for using the site.
I LOVE fruit (and carbs) being vegetarian and this should really help me get a handle on overeating those things that I enjoy so much.
Hi again, RosaMaria. Good luck with your goals and thanks for stopping by!
Wow,
I am so glad I found your site ! 🙂 I just started
WW last week with my wife and was a bit intimidated
by how to get going. I think your site will be a big
help to us.
Thank you,
Hey David, I’m glad you found it, too! Good luck to both of you and let us all know how it’s going once in awhile.
Great site! Thank you for this help!
Thanks for visiting Elaine! 🙂
Thanks for ur site …. i followed ww for a few weeks and got from 78 kgs to 72 kgs…. buuut then a lot of stuff went on in my life and i stopped being wary of what i ate and how much i exercised …. but its been a few months& im 72.9 which is close enough for me concidering that im very depressed …… cause of my parents….i also count points in my head sometimes and try not to go over 20 i aim for 15 but its hard . I always compare myself to others even though i should know by now … not everybodys lucky enough to b naturally skinny ….. its my best friends 16th in 4 days . And …… i hve so much cellulite and my legs are so revoulting ….. i look in the mirror and just wanna cry :C im going to make it thru tho I WILL GET SKINNNY …… ive been going for runs/ fast walking in my toner shoes for an hour …. everyday and i feel soooo good afterwards . The first time …. i almost fainted when i got hone but im definately gettinn better 🙂 xox mwa
Hi Shanelle, thanks for visiting.
First thing to remember is that you cannot speed up the weight loss by eating less points. Weight watchers recommends that you consume no less than 18 points per day and eating less may actually make it harder to lose weight. You will lose more weight by eating a healthy, balanced diet than you will by starving. Use all of the points that are available for you including the 35 weekly bonus points.
If you are exercising to the point where you are almost fainting then you are exercising too hard or too long (or both). Take it down a couple notches. This is not a race that you need to complete in a set amount of time, slow and steady weight loss is the safest way to go. In general, the longer it takes for you to lose the weight the longer you can hope to enjoy the results. Just remember that everyone is different and you cannot base how you should look on how your friends look. Your aim should be to be as healthy as you can and the rest will take care of itself. I would also recommend that you get the approval of your family doctor before continuing your exercise routine, as your almost fainting may be a sign of a more severe issue.
Hi again Dan =)
How are you? You remember me right?
I just love ur site! I always use it, especially at work ; I have it saved in my favorites for whenever I need to see how many points are in certain food items or just some advice.
I need to ask you something ……I am a bit confused on one thing. I remember reading on your site that if for example I eat 1 WW cookie of course it is one point but if I have another one it would double in points….correct? Does this method apply to fruits and veggies as well?? Lets say I have an apple for breakfast ( medium – 1 WW PT ‘s) and then for lunch I have one cup of strawberries ……so instead of 1 WW PT it would double to 2 WW PT’s ?? And the same of veggies?
Please please let me know when you have a moment. Thanks so much as always Dan!
Hi Rada, good to hear from you again.
Seems as if you may be mixing a few different concepts up. If you have an item for breakfast it has no effect on that item at lunch. Each meal stands on it’s own. Generally, that would only apply if you were to eat multiple servings of the same item in one sitting. In that case, to correctly determine the points, you would have to multiply the nutrition info (calories, total fat & fiber) by the number of servings and use those new numbers to determine the point value. This would not apply in your example because you are having two different types of fruit, so even if you ate them at the same time you would still count them seperately.
I hope this helps clear it up a little. Thanks for using the site 🙂
Oh ok I think I get it now!
So lets say I have a WW Cookie for breakfast and then for lunch as well it would be 2 PT’s then right? But if I had them both for breakfast then it would be more then 1 PT beacuse I had them at one sitting……am I getting this right?
Thanks so much Dan!
If a WW cookie is 1 point, then it would be worth 1 point at breakfast and 1 point at lunch. But if you had 2 of the cookies for breakfast (2 servings) it could possibly be 3 points for 2 of them.
An example of this is Fiber One Bars. One bar is 140 calories, 4 fat and 9 fiber which comes out to 2 points. But if you were to have two of the bars for breakfast you would have to double the calories, fat and fiber and then recalculate the point total. That gives you 280 calories, 8 fat and 18 fiber which comes up to 5 points. So one bar is 2 points but 2 bars are 5 points, and 3 bars would be 9 points! It has to do with rounding that is automatically done with the point calculators.
Perfect. I get it now! Thanks so much Dan !!
🙂
hi,
i just came across your site and am excited to start! however i am wondering how the calculation of points go? i dont have any books or anything and was wondering how the calorie, fat, fibre thing works?
hope you can help! 🙂
Gen
Hello Gen, Here is a link with some info on the Weight Watchers formula for calculating point values. The formula is not very ‘friendly’ and would be a little complicated to try and determine in your head each time. There are calculators that you can buy and carry with you for when you need it and you can also access a lot of info on sites like this with a smart phone or when planning ahead. Not sure if this is what you are looking for or not, let me know if you need anymore info and good luck to you!
thanks for this site it is very helpful to me never knowing just how much i was actully eating and drinking until i started the points i can already tell the differnts on eating thaks again
Hello Dan; thanks for the site, it has been extremely helpful in getting me to my weight and now maintaining it for more than three months. I have a silly question: most fresh fruit is zero points in the Pointsplus program; however, juice is not. If I take fresh Strawberry’s (16 oz.) and liquefy them in a blender with 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup Splenda (enjoyed in six/four ounce (1/2 cup) servings), is that still fresh fruit, or is it juice? If it is juice, can you tell me why it now takes on points? Thanks again.
Hi Manny, thanks for checking in again. That is a great question and seems like it would also apply to store bought juice…I really don’t have an answer for that one. Maybe someone that is attending the meetings can ask the leader and respond back here with what they learn
