Calculate your daily points

It looks like WW changed the way you calculate your daily points. The previous method assumed that people would ‘cheat’. Makes sense, since I ‘fudge’, and still am losing weight. Anyway, here’s the new way of doing it, and it appears to be loosely based on BMR, at least the numbers produced, are very close. I’ll change the BMR calculator to be a dual calculator.

Add your scores together based on the answers to the following questions.

1. Gender:
Female- score 2
Male- score 8
A nursing mom- score 12

2. How old are you?
17-26- score 4
27-37- score 3
38-47- score 2
48-58- score 1
over 58- score 0

3. What do you weigh?
Enter the first two digits of your weight in pounds.
(for example, if you weight 198, you will add 19 to your score)

4. How tall are you?
Under 5’1- score 0
5’1-5’10- score 1
Over 5’10- score 2

5. How do you spend most of your day?
Sitting down? score 0
Occasionally sitting? score 2
Walking most of the time? score 4
Doing physically hard work most of the time? score 6

Just add all of your scores together and that’s your daily point total.
35 is your weekly bonus value.

Personally, I liked the old way of doing it, but this way does not encourage cheating. Don’t forget, as you lose weight, your daily points go down.
