[Sandi]

It's been almost 4 years since I have joined Weight Watchers. But I am ready to try again.

I am joining on Thursday, but I want to actually start counting Thursday morning. Can anyone with a starter book tell me how many points I will have to start? I weigh 345.

Good luck Sandi. I started in March and I'm sure if I was trying harder I would be farther along by now, but I'm still happy to be heading in the right direction. I just realized I have to do it this time, I even got a charm after 16 weeks for sticking it out -- I've never lasted that long!!

Hi Sandi, welcome back to WW

The program has changed a bit since you were last here. WW no longer uses only height and weight to calculate daily points allotments. We now need to know your activity level (sedentary, a little physical activity, strenuous activity...) and age as well. Then one of us can look it up for you. Unfortunately we cannot post the formula they use now due to copyright issues.

I understand about the copyright issues.

I got my answer. Thanks!
