Ok, you all are posting great recipes with the weight watchers point system but for those of us who don’t do weight watchers, can someone explain the point system? I gather you are allowed so many points per day but how many or how do we figure up how many for us???
Just thought I’d ask with all these recipes coming in! Looked online but couldn’t find it easily, so asking here!

To find your daily points allowance, give yourself the number of points listed next to the option that fits your situation best:
Your sex:
If you are female- score 2 points
If you are male- score 8
If you are nursing- score 12
17 to 26- score 4
27 to 37- score 3
38 to 47- score 2
48 to 58- score 1
Over 58- score 0Your current weight:
Enter the first 2 digits of your weight in pounds. If you are 175 lbs for example, you would enter “17”.Your height:
under 5’1″- score 0
5’1″ to 5’10”- score 1
Over 5’10”- score 2
sitting down- score 0
occassionally sitting, but mostly standing- score 2
walking most of the time- score 4
doing physically hard work most of the time- score 6Add up all your scored points- that is your daily points target.
As you celebrate your birthday, increase your daily activity, or as you lose weight, you will need to keep retaking this quiz to most accurately figure your points allowance

Thank you!!! I get 27 points a day. I’ll try this out and see if it helps me lose weight.
I keep hitting plateau’s and can’t seem to get below 170 for the last 5 month’s. I just need to lose 20 more pounds so really frustrated! Hope this will work!
I gained 162 pounds in less than 30 days from steroids they used on me to get my asthma under control. It’s been a night mare getting that weight back off! Hope this helps!

Yes. That is how you calculate your daily points. Also, everyone gets 35 extra points a week to do with what you like.
