[QUOTE=telos2000]How do you figure weight watcher points?[/QUOTE]

Well . . . . it's calories, fat, and fiber. This is from a website:

[url]http://www.healthyweightforum.org/eng/articles/weight_watchers_points/[/url]

The Weight Watchers Points Formula
The actual Weight Watchers Points formula used in the Weight Watchers Points calculator is currently under strict US Patent laws. The formula is shown below::

[img]http://www.healthyweightforum.org/eng/images/weight-watchers-points-form.gif[/img]

Where:
p = Points
c = Calories
f = Fat Grams
r = Dietary fiber Grams

(Note: min{r, 4} equals the number of grams of dietary fiber or 4, whichever is smaller. In other words, only the first 4 grams of fiber "count.")

Weight Watchers sells a calculator that does it for you. You input the calories, fat, and fiber and it gives you the points.

Re: How do you figure WW Points?
Okaaaaaaaaaaaaay, now I am ready for the simpleton method.

I mean does my wife use the same number of points as me? Is it based on weight and height? Or is it the same for everyone.

Re: How do you figure WW Points?
That's interesting. I've always wondered how many points I could consume. Looks like 20. Had a friend that did the WW program. Of coarse, like any other, once she went off, she gained back. I'm on the Atkins again, but the WW looks better to me--at least the food looks better. I like the idea of being able to eat a burger or candy bar if I want to.

Re: How do you figure WW Points?
OMG! That sounds to good to be true. Has anyone done this by themselves? I wondered if I could come up with a book with the points in it. Is it a slow weight loss? On the Atkins I can usually lose 5 pounds the first 2 weeks. Then it gets really slow. And I start to get tired of eating meat and salad!!!!

Re: How do you figure WW Points?
They have a plan for doing it at home now [url="http://www.weightwatchers.com/plan/hom/index.aspx"]http://www.weightwatchers.com/plan/hom/index.aspx[/url] you can also get the books at e-bay what can't you get at e-bay. I like doing the meeting because I need to have the accountability it cost me $20 to join and costs me $11 a week I figured I spent that much a week on junk food.

Rod. Rod. Rod.

Because you are normally a smart@ss, I will share with you one of my favorite quotes of all time. It is from Roseanne (believe it or not).

"Eat what you are going to eat and shut up about it."

Truer words have never been spoken!
