Does anyone know the actual confirmed amount of extra points you are allowed if you're doing weightwatchers and are still breastfeeding? I can't find any info in my WW at home kit and there are varying answers when I do an internet search  The search on the WW website just shows a link to their message board where someone suggested it is 7 points but I'm sure that's too much!!

1. If you are breastfeeding female - 14 points, add
2. 5 points if you are aged 18-20, or 4 points if you are aged 21-35, or 3 points if you are aged 36-50, add 3. if your current weight is two digits, add 8 points, or if your current weight is three digits, add 10 points, and 4. if you are under 160cm tall add 1 point, or if you are 160cm or above add 2 points, and 5. if you sit down most of the day add 0 points, or if you are occasionally sitting but mainly standing add 2 points, or if you are occasionally standing but mainly walking add 4 points, or if you are doing physically hard work most of the time add 6 points If your total is more than 33, adjust your score so that your total points value is 33. ETA: Yep - it is an extra seven. Didn't read your first post properly but had already typed all of that up and didn't want to waste it  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Wowzers that's a bit of a confusing way to work it out haha
My points allowed under normal circumstances is 22, so let me get this straight, I can now have 29 points every day since I'm bfing?! Seems like heaps but I'll take it!! How many points is cream doughnut again?

Thats the way that they have it in the book. I just copied it out. It is confusing though aye. And yep - you can have 29 points. It is heaps aye. I can have 33 and I seriously struggle to get all that down every day. Hmmmmm - maybe your cream donut idea is the way to go Pepsi ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

I don't really think there will be any breastfeeding males out there. Although, to be fair, I have been known to be wrong before... ------------- Defending the male species since 1980
