New WW points target?
So I went for my weekly weigh in today and got the new program week 1 booklet and am totally confused. I was unable to stay for the meeting as DH had an appointment and I needed to get home for the kids.
So when I started 4 weeks ago I was 186, so I had 24 points per day. I'm now down to just under 174 so I thought that I'd drop to 22 points per day. But in the new book there's this survey you do on pg 18 & 19 and now I get 25 per day?
My answers for the survey were 2 for female, 3 for age, 17 for weight, 1 for height and 2 for how I spend my day.

Re: New WW points target?
I have e-tools, so it did all of the calculating for me. I did not get the new materials yet since I go to Saturday meetings.
They did say that points could go up for some people . . . .

Can someone post ths quiz, please?
1. Are you:
Female = 2 pts
Male = 8 pts
A Nursing Mom = 12 pts
2. How old are you:
17-26 = 4 pts
27-37 = 3 pts
38-47 = 2 pts
48-58 = 1 pt
Over 58 = 0 pts
3. What do you weight?
Enter the first 2 digits of your weight in pounds
4. How tall are you?
Under 5'1" = 0 pts
5'1" - 5'10" = 1 pt
Over 5'10" = 2 pts
5. Do you spend most of you day:
(a) Sitting down = 0 pts
(b) Occasionally sitting, but mostly standing (teacher, sales person) = 2 pt
(c) Walking most of the time (waiter, mailman) = 4 pts
(d) Doing physically hard work most of the time (construction, nurse, gardener) = 6 pts
Add up your score and that is the number of points you get for the day.
As you lose weight, your number will decrease because of question # 3.
The minimum number of points you are allowed to have is 18 and the max is 44. So if you add your score and it is 17, make it now 18.
HTH!!!

Wow this sounds like insanity for my dad . . .
He follows plan, but does not go to WW.
Male= 8
He is 53=1
Weight- first 2 digits= 23
Height- between 5'1 and 5'10= 1
Job= 2
Total= 35 points
That is a big jump in points . . . .

yea, they said that they found that men were losing weight too quickly and that can lead to unhealthy results, so they adjusted it for them.
