JasminesMommy asked:
I want to try weight watchers out, i am a mother of an 8 month old, I am 23, I weigh anywhere between 155-160 and I am 5’1″ I don’t look huge, but I feel huge. I want to do weight watchers but don’t have the money to spend to do the weekly meetings? Can someone help me calculate how many points I would get, and how to calculate everything I am eating into points to stay on track?

WW have an online calculator which i find really handy
calculating how many points you should have of a day depends on a number of factors:
1 Are you female score 3, male score 9
2 Are you a breastfeeding mother?
No, score 0
Breastfeeding exclusively, score 10,
Supplementing breast feeds with solids, score 5
3 How old are you 16-20 score 5, 21-35 score 4, 36-50 score 3, 51-65 score 2, over 65 score 1
4 How many stones do you weigh , ignore the 1b the number of stones is your score for this question, someone who weighs 12st 4lb would score 12
5 How tall are you under 5ft 4″ score 1, 5ft 4″ or above score 2
6 in your main occupation are you, sitting down most of the time score 0, occasionally sitting,but mainly standing score 2, walking most of the time score 4, doing physically hard work most of the time score 6
Your total score is your daily points allowance.
Hope this helps
