Question Activity Points: Is there a limit to how many can be exchanged per day?

I use the etools and know that when I go over my target points, if I have earned AP's that day, the system will first use my AP's before debiting my FP's. There does not seem to be a limit though and I recall from when I used to go to meetings (years ago) that we were only allowed to exchange a certain number of ap's per day - no matter how many we had earned.

I earned 6 AP's yesterday and the system exchanged every single one of them before dipping into my FP's. I'm just curious if this is really how it is supposed to be?

TIA!

i Honestly dont know I asked my leader and she said you can earn as many as you want per a day. and if you use them all great and if not that is ok to. Not using them is just suppose to give you a great weight loss. BUT, people on here seem to say that you should only get 4 per a day and that you should use them. My leader did tell me it use to be that way before they switched the plan but i am finding some leaders stick to the old way and only go by the 4 per day not now many you actually accumulate.


I count all of mine per day. i dont use them but i do write down that i had them. Hope that helps some

Via email from WW -

*********************************
Thank you for contacting Weight Watchers with your inquiry and comments.

As you may have noticed, we changed the way Activity POINTS values are swapped on the Web site with the launch of TurnAround. Because many of us exercise vigorously on one day and rest on the next, the Web site will now allow you to swap as many Activity POINTS values as you've earned into Foods POINTS for the amount that you exceed your POINTS Target on that given day.

However, Weight Watchers® follows the recommendations of the American College of Sports Medicine, which means that we recommend not earning more than an average of 4 Activity POINTS per day (or 28 Activity POINTS per week) to reduce the risk of over-use injuries.

If you are earning more than an average of 4 Activity POINTS per day (28 Activity POINTSâ per week), we recommend that you be under the supervision of an exercise specialist.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Thank you both for your replies - that answers the question completely!

Yesterday was an anomoly for me, which is why I noticed that it didn't reduce my FP's. I certainly don't plan or expect to earn more than 4 AP's per day on a regular basis.

Thanks again!!
