Newbie with Questions!

  • Hi Y'all...I just started Weight Watchers on Friday. I went to a meeting and got all the required materials. However, I couldn't stay after for the getting started with the program. I read the materials forwards and backwards but have some questions about some things.
    First, the booklet doesn't talk about how many points you get for each activity. My points tracker says i should aim for 28 points a week. What does that mean and how do i do that?
    Last, how many points are you allowed from the 35 weekly points a day?

    Thanks for all of your help!

  • Hi and welcome. My understanding is that you get a point for 20 minutes of moderate activity. "Moderate" means that it gets you breathing hard enough so that you can talk, but it would be difficult to sing. You'll get all the information about activity points at week 3, but that's the gist of it.

    Also, there are no longer any daily restrictions on the 35 points. You can eat them all at once if you want.
  • thanks for the info!
  • You get the exercise booklet in the third week with the ap calculator.
