Weight Watchers Pro points?

ok the amount of points you get is based on your age height and sex.

the minimum number of pro points anyone is on is 29 up to a 72 a day.

you also get an extra 49 points a week which you can use for things suchas you get invited out to dinner etc.

you cannot carry points over each day so if you are on 29 points then you have to eat the 29 any left over get forfieted.

all fresh fruit is 0 pro points.

points are now calculated on protein fibre total fast and carbs. baiscally the higher in protein and fibre and lower in carbs in fat the lower the pro points this is because food high in protein and fibre use more energy to process the food than those high in carbs and fat

I like the weekly points better than the old system. It was too easy to cheat and starve yourself so you could 'save' points.

The new system is more sustainable. You eat your regular points every day, but if you have a night out then your weekly points come into play.

I have worked out that you can drink two bottles of Rose on your weekly points which is awesome if you want to have a big night out (not that I recommend you do this regularly).

oooooh a whole weight loss section now, i have been MIA for a while....!! thanks

I just signed up to the free trial and I get 29 points also....Im not sure how i will go without some form of book to look everything up.

Im siging up today! I already do high protien low carb but need some guidence.
I exersize quite a bit so will be nterestign to see how it goes and yay for not having to forfeit my weekly maccas fix with the kids, lol.

you need to go weekly to meetings, I think you can miss 2 meetings without paying for them.

I have been told you need the books to do the plan, but if you are doing it online you don't as all the info is there.

Try the 2 week trial online its free.

meetings are $18.50 weekly, books are on top.

do the 2 week free trial online, then work out some meal plans & that may see you through. Then cancel it when the 2 week trial is up or if you keep it it works out to be approx $40 a mth NZ$ so $10 a week & you don't need books etc.

I joined WW last yr & only went a few weeks but got it enough from it to lose 24kgs by myself.

wait i found the other thread with the code for the free trial.

it works.

ignore that question

I am gonna join WW again soon as Im keen to have that challenge of a physcial weigh in, Im quite competitive so hope that will get that streak going. Just curious to know how the pro points system works and how it works for you?

sorry have to read and run so cant read replies but i moaned and moaned about it the first week as i wasnt given a choice to do the new or old when i re joined..but i like it now..she did say that would happen..just found it hard getting used to everything doubling in points..i like that i can have fish and chips like today and not feel guilty..it's working for me almost 3kg in two weeks..

Em you don't have to use all the 49 weekly points for the week.
