I am 5'5. I weigh 127. I have always maintained a
weight around 110 - 115... until I quit smoking... and now Im up to 127 and
unhappy. I have been thinking about trying the point system of Weight
Watchers... but, I travel for a living ~ so meetings and programs checkins are
impossible for me.
What is the average amount of points I should consume per day in order to lose
the weight I gained by quitting smoking? Anyone?
Considering you are inquiring about how many points allowed per day, I am
assuming you plan to follow the "Flex Plan" (there are two options- Flex and
Core).
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
Your age:
17 to 26- score 4
27 to 37- score 3
38 to 47- score 2
48 to 58- score 1
Over 58- score 0
Your 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
Your activity level on most days of the week, how do you spend your day?:
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 6
Add 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.
Keep in mind that people who attend Weight Watchers meetings lose 3x more than
those who go at it alone. To find a meeting location near you or to find out the
current price promotions for membership, please look at their website:

Hello, I know the problem of gaining weight after quitting smoking. But do you
want to step in the weightloss system of dieting and gaining weight again after
it because your metabolism got really out of balance with dieting? Or do you
seek for a opportunity that you get back to the weight you always had without
gaining weight again.
In the last case I found something on the internet that might help you.
Just take a look at it to see if it is something for you.
I wish you succss with your decision
