Want to follow the old plan? Here’s
how you can calculate your daily point
allowance:
1. Gender:
Female- score 2
Male- score 8
A nursing mom- score 12
2. How old are you?
17-26- score 4
27-37- score 3
38-47- score 2
48-58- score 1
over 58- score 0
3. What do you weigh?
Enter the first two digits of your weight
in pounds.
(for example, if you weight 198, you will
add 19 to your score)
4. How tall are you?
Under 5’1- score 0
5’1-5’10- score 1
Over 5’10- score 2
5. How do you spend most of your day?
Sitting down? score 0
Occasionally sitting? score 2
Walking most of the time? score 4
Doing physically hard work most of the
time? score 6
Add all of your scores together and
that’s your daily points allowance.




How Many Weight
Watchers Points Am
I Allowed?
In its own clever way, the highly
successful Weight Watchers program
utilizes the basic “calories in, calories out”
method of weight loss. Calories are
simplified by the weight watchers point
system which assigns points to foods
based on their calorie and nutritional
content.
Activities are also assigned points and
offset against food points. The resulting
calorie deficit will lead to weight loss.
Please refer to instructions of how to use
the calculator below.
Weight Watchers Points Allowed
Calculator
The following points calculator is a very
useful tool to complement the
comprehensive Weight Watchers
program. How Does the Calculator Work?
The Weight Watchers Points Allowed
Calculator will:
Calculate how many weight watchers
points you get per day to until you reach
your desired goal weight. Just as the
recommended daily calorie intake is
different for men and woman, so too is
the Weight Watchers points-range.
As you lose weight, in order to continue
to lose weight, you must reduce your
points (calorie intake) further. This tool
will show you how much to reduce your
points as you reach specific weight
categories
Weight Watchers Tips
Daily points do not rollover. For example,
if you are 5 points short of your allowed
points on Monday, you cannot add have
an extra 5 points on Tuesday to even
them out
Nutritious healthy filling foods as part of
your points such as lean meat, whole
grains, fruit and vegetables will result in
healthy long lasting weight loss
Drink plenty of water
35 Flexible Points – Learn to Indulge
Weight Watchers Points System has a
focus on using your points on healthy
filling foods, not daily allowable points to
be used on sugar and fat. The points list
for foods will reflect this.
In addition to the daily food points
calculation, Weight Watchers allow 35
flexible points* each week that
encourage you to indulge in the
occasional treats without threatening your
overall weight loss. This is a good way to
learn control without deprivation.

    Thank you so much for your posts, I really appreciate it. I know that you are supposed to eat the medium for your points and only go over if you need to, not the max but I couldn't figure out the medium and it is 29 for me and not 31 where I have it set. I think though I will stick at my Max until I feel comfortable with eating less at the rate I am exercising.
