FYI - I cleaned this thread up a bit. Here at 3FC, we don't mind discussing points of food items or even your personal points. We also don't mind something in the sense of 'hey my calculator is broken, need help with 1 thing' type questions.

With the new plan, obviously you need to own the materials to know how to apply your points so knowing your personal allowed points won't do anything for you. So if you want to say 'hey I love beets, they are zero points!' or 'hey I'm down to 30 points!', go for it. We want to allow our users flexibility and I think you get more flexibility here than the WW boards but we don't want to abuse that flexibility.

Nelie, thanks! Knowing your overall points won't do you any good unless you have the new materials/calculators anyway, since the points are calculated differently now.

I like coming to the 3FC weight watcher board so much more than the official boards. So much more support here (not to mention, this board is just easier on my eyes!)

39 for me

43

I 'lost' a point today, down to 33 now eek!

i got 31 points. Should I be recalculating, since I've lost weight. The ww lady said only to recalculate once a month.

I'm at 29, but I usually eat about 36 on weekdays, 43 on weekends if I'm having sushi or eating out with friends.

I'm at 29 but eat about 35 a day unless I'm having a splurge.

My calculator (and meeting people) say that I get 37, I weigh 224 right now. I feel like I should get less. I am making 29 my goal each day, simply because that seems to be what everyone else at my meeting is doing. If I am really hungry, I will approach 37, but not often. I wonder at what weight increments the points plus goals go down. Before it was every decade, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know?

Hey everyone..I just started this yesterday and I get 29 points a day. So far I've done okay but I've been a little hungry. Any suggestions for foods that are low in points?

Wow, I feel like I get a lot compared to the rest of you, and some of you are at a higher weight than me. I know I get allotted more points because I breastfeed so that may be why. As long as I am losing weight consistently I guess it all works out. lol

Just for some perspective, I am at the same weight as you, but I'm 2" shorter and I have 35 points per day. I've had 35 points since switching over to points plus and I've been consistently losing. I'd be hesitant to eat fewer of the points plus per day. It may work in the short term, but I would be concerned with how it would affect my metabolism in the long run.

You get 35 and are an inch taller than me, I get 33. I think age also has something to do with it. I had gone down about 6 pounds so I inquired about my daily points and the leader recalcuated it for me. I dropped from 34 to 33. You can figure it out yourself if you have a calculator too.

Quick question for anyone who knows the answer.

I do WW online and with the old points system when you logged your weight on your weigh in day it would tell you it was time to recalculate your points, take you to that screen to update info and then calculate them for you. Is that going to happen with the new PP program? I have weighed in three times without any change. Wondering if I need to do it manually now.

A long-time unsuccessful diet ever since I did Atkins (about 9 years ago now) and lost 3.5 stones, but paid for it with high blood pressure and elevated cholestrerol. I have decided to begin 2011 with weight watchers (some place in London), and aim to lose the 3.5 stones I put back on plus the extra two stones I have added to that over the last five years... So. Anybody know about a really brilliant London WW meeting (preferably in central or central east london) they could recommend.
