WW & Nursing?

  • Hi everyone....I am Kelly,31 sahm and currently trying to lose 70.5 lbs. I have lost 23.5 already and am working on the rest - by switching to WW. I do not have the funds to actually go to the meetings or online and am waiting on the books from my mom so I thought maybe someone here could help me? OK, enough about that........CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW MANY POINTS YOU GET FOR NURSING? My son is 12mos and still nurses about 6 times a day/night. I am currently eating no more than 1900 cals a day and walking about a mile and a half 5xs (30mins) a week. That works out to be about what...38 points?(50 cals=1 point?) I had heard a few people who were nursing got about 10 extra points a day for nursing? Or is that a week? I am soo confused. I was following a revised southbeach diet plan but figured this would work for me better (for I was binging on sweets) and it was better at being something I could follow for LIFE...seeing as how I need a lifestyle change not a diet...and my family can eat this too (without bickering and complaining) THANKSSSSS FOR ALL THE HELP?!

  • I have no personal experience with this, but my book shows that you need 10 points more per day than a non-nursing person of the same weight range.
  • Allie, THANK YOU...That is what I thought! Thanks for all the help!
