WW confuseing point system -sigh-HELPPPPPPPP

Hi everyone I hope you can answer  this for me.....

I'm trying wiegh****chers now for 3 weeks... the first week I lost 6 lbs....

second week I didnt lose...or gain but I kept following it as best as I can..

I dont understand the point system...

3rd week I gained 2 lbs...urrrrrgggghhhh...

I think I was about the 20 pt area.... infact there was some few pts for a treat today... but I'm worried I'm going to gain lol.... I am paying from week to week since all at once is a lil steep for me right now...is there something online that converts automaticlly calories to the point system at all?.....I applaud all those that are doing ok on it... I tried doing it low carb... but the instructor said.. I need carbs first and fats last and the points have to be evenlly distrubutate across the board.... thats why I'm gaining she said..... I'm hopeing to find a link that coverts what I eat to thier point system and if that fails.... I'm going to quit and find a new lifestyle way of eating... thankyou for any info offerred to me...

hugs

Hello, I also am a WW.  Check back to your book. I believe

you should be eating more points than you are.  What did your

leader tell you, your points should be.  I am at 32 points per day.  I did try the core plan for one week.  I am losing .6 per week.  After

the 4th of July, I gained.  We will go back this week, Its hard.

There is a website..mydailyplate.com...you can put in what you

eat and its a good place to track, it tracks calories, but start there.

They say if you follow the plan, you can lose 2 lbs a week.  Its free.

Good Luck!!!

Hugs  thankyou for your fast reply!!! I will look at that site and see if I can understand it them:)...I have looked in the back of my booklet and I guess only with time can I look at things and not second guess what they me...lol.. I know they said  as exg...7-10 points for meat  I know now its 1 point for every ounce... so I can eat 10 ounces a day ...dido on the hard part  .. lolol but I guess things take time.. and  your right I am eating to low.. I;m 240 but the said to eat the same as your goal wight.. which to me was 140.. and 20 is all I can eat.. thats what I understood anyway... I guess i have to wait till next sat to find what she ment.. sorry for my bad engli****'s my second language..

hugs again:))

No, that is totally wrong.  Did you get book 1,

your points will go down, each 10 lbs you lose. You

must eat your points and you will lose.  At 20 points

you are starving yourself, and your body goes into

survival mode.  It will not let go of weight. 

Here is the points calculator:

1. Female   2 points

  Male  8 points

Nursing Mom  12 points   _____points

2. How old you are????

17 - 26   4 points

27-37   3 points

38 - 47  2 points

48 - 58  1 point

over 58   0 points    __________

3.  What do you weigh??  Enter first 2 digits of your

  weight.   200 = 20 points.  etc

4.  How Tall are you???

Under 5'1   0

5'1 - 5'10   1 point

over 5' 10   2 points

5.  On most day how doyou spend your day??

sitting    0

Mainly standing  2

Walking most of the day  4

Physical work...nurse, construction...6

Total your points. __________

this is how to calculate your points,  your points

will go down as you lose, each time you reach say

190 = 19...add them up again...1 less point.

I hope this helps you....the information you were

given is totally wrong.  Buffy

 

OMG!! I got 30 points I need.wow.... I'm 5'4' Buffy you are FABULAS!!....i NEED YOU!!! *doing the happy dance now !!...I think we need you up here teching WW lol. tytytytytytytytyt

How can I thankyou enough...

tytytytytytyty  ... can I buddy you and I'd love to echange my email even and talk some time about  our journys even!! I have  free longdistance to america and its great o have a friend that  understands and we can even give helping modivation even..!! if not I understand but thankyou for what you've done for me!!

Good, you figured out the right amount of points!  LOL....that is key.  WW has an online manager that is pretty neat, albeit slow.  It is still beta, not exactly as modern as it can be, so slow and kind of irritating to use. But ask about it. 

 

For me, it was cheaper and more useful to be able to see all my past weeks' progress and stalls.

 

Thanks Neeceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! lol

I figured I'd  write dow the food I want...... in calorie forms then do it in WW point form... this way I can see what it comes out to in WW system..  I think I'd have better control doing it that way and  see how it  works. ty so much for posting:) hugss

god bless

I too started WW.  I am so glad you finally got the right amount of points. I knew you were too low and hoped by the time I finished reading someone had gotten it straight for you.  

I started almost 3 weeks ago and I am having troubles staying on the program at night. You wouldn't think I would have a problem as I am allowed 39 points, plus the additional 35 per week points. The morning and afternoon are fine but come after dinner I keep blowing it.  The first week I lost only 1.5 pounds.  I didn't even go the second week as I blew it so badly.  This Thursday will be the 3rd week and I can't go as I have a Dr appt at that time and in the afternoon I have to go to the hospital for 3 shots for my back, plus I wasn't on program again. I paid for the 6 week plan when I joined and look at what I have not done and I am half way through.  Just wasted money, I am so bad.

It seems like I know I want the WLS and I am afraid I will not be able to eat these foods I love so much so I am out of control.  I know what I must do but my brain is not listening.  I need a good swift kick in this fat A$$ of mine. Perhaps all three of us can be buddies and help each other out.  What do you thnk Ladies. ANy suggestions for getting my brain in gear.

Hey sounds good to me but then I work in the am and not on till after 7pm or so for a bit... something like this would be agreeing to have a plan same time evernight and have us online ..prolly on the chat area ....but anything is possiable:0

Well Ladies, I went to my meeting tonight and I lost

weight!!!! 1.8 lbs, we have been going to WW since

March.  I have lost 14.8 lbs.  Woo hoo.  I even had a

Birthday Celebration today, I ate what I wanted.  I

talked to my WW Leader about have VSG, and she

says she will help me, I can stay with WW, it is a lifetime

change of eating habits.  I am considering surgery

for November.  Taking my time, it is a big decision.

We had a patient who had a lap band, they had to

open him up and remove it, he had a bowel obstruction

and scare tissue strangulating the band wires. It is

not for me, too dangerous.  Hang in There.
