Weight Watchers

There's an equation - something to do with calories and saturated fat. Can't quite remember, which isn't much use to you, sorry! I used to have a spreadsheet on my old laptop that worked it out.

There's a basic questionnaire that you have to complete and based on your current weight, sex, age, height and activity levels it works out your daily point allocation.

Hi,

I found this on a UK website.

Step 1.

If you are female you start with 2 points
If you are nursing you start with 12 points
If you are male you start with 4 points


Step 2.

If you are between 17 and 26 add 4 points to your points total
If you are between 27 and 37 add 3 points to your points total
If you are between 38 and 47 add 2 points to your points total
If you are between 48 and 57 add 1 point to your points total
If you are over 58 add 0 points to your points total


Step 3.

Take the first two numbers of your weight in pounds, and then add them to yout points total. So if you weight 204 pounds, you would add 20 points to yout total. If you weight 150 pounds then your would add 15 points to your total.


Step 4.

If you are under 5 feet tall then add 0 points to your total
If you are between 5'9" tall then add 1 point to your total
If you are over 5'10" tall then add 2 points to your total


Step 5.

If you spend most of the day sitting down, add 0 points to your total.
If you mix sitting and standing then add 2 points to your total.
If you are walking most of the time then add 4 points to your total.


So as an example;

female = 2 points
age 27 = 3 points
Weight 175 pounds = 17 points
height 5'6" = 1 point

Total points = 23 points per day

On top of this you get an extra 35 points per week to use as you want, which works out as 5 a day, but you can't carry them over from one week to another. Use them or lose them!
