Hi. The old book I had says 22-29 points per day for someone 194 pounds. Is that the current requirement? I've lost my points calculator, but have my little points book I will try to get by on. I decided to try it on my own. I'm desperate. I'm at an all time high with my weight. I was down to 164 a couple years ago. I need to do something quick.
Should I stay near 22 points to get the fastest results?
Thanks.

My little book says 22 - 27 points for your weight of 194. Its my understanding that eating at a lower point level won't necessarily increase your weight loss; it depends on how you metabolize food, etc.

I tend to set my "goal" for the day as no more than 2 pts above minimum, and then exercise if I plan to consume more. I figure that motivates me to exercise which has to be good.

My experience has been it's better to vary your points but make sure you get at least your minimum points in. A couple other tips would be to make sure you drink your water and try to get at least 20 minutes of exercise in. I usually walk as this is easy to fit in during the day.

Good luck!
