Answer 2

You can do Weight Watchers Flex Points on your own. (Don't join) Go on ebay and buy the Complete Food Guide and Dining Out Guides and maybe a food point calculator if you don't like figuring out point values on your own.

Here is how the program works......

Weight Ranges
The first column is your height in feet and inches. The second column is the MINIMUM for all adults. The third column is the recommended upper target for adults ages 17-25. The fourth column is the recommended upper target for adults ages 25-45. The fifth column is the MAXIMUM for adults over 45.

4’9” 92 106 111 115
4’10” 95 110 115 119
4’11” 99 114 119 124
5’0” 102 118 123 128
5’1” 106 121 127 132
5’2” 109 125 131 136
5’3” 113 130 135 141
5’4” 116 134 140 145
5’5” 120 138 144 150
5’6” 124 142 148 155
5’7” 127 147 153 159
5’8” 131 151 158 164
5’9” 135 155 162 169
5’10” 139 160 167 174
5’11” 143 165 172 179
6’0” 147 169 177 184
6’1” 151 174 182 189
6’2” 155 179 187 194
6’3” 160 184 192 200
6’4” 164 189 197 205
6’5” 184 194 202 210

POINTS Target
This chart is NOT for growing teens or nursing women. Growing teens, females under 16 and males under 19, should add 2 points to the target shown. Nursing woman should add 10 points to the target show. Everyone should consult a doctor before beginning or modifying any weight loss program.

The first column is your weight right now. The second column is your POINTS Target. Your POINTS Target is the minimum numbers of points you should each every single day.

000 – 149 20
150 – 174 22
175 – 199 24
200 – 224 26
225 – 249 28
250 – 274 30
275 – 299 31
300 – 324 32
325 – 349 33
350 – 999 34
The best way to figure how many points are in the food you are eating is to use your POINTSFinder. If you don’t have it handy, you can use a calculator with the following formula. POINTS = [Calories/50] – [grams of fiber*/5] + [grams of fat/12] *note that the grams of fiber are capped at 4 grams per serving.


Activity Points
In addition to eating your Target points each day, you may choose to earn and optionally eat Activity points. Activity points earned must be used on the same day they are earned, if they are used at all. Activity points are fully described on, and can be calculated with, your POINTSbooster. If you don’t have it handy, you can use a calculator and the following formulas.
Activity points for light intensity = [your weight] x [minutes] x 0.00023
Activity points for moderate intensity = [your weight] x [minutes] x 0.00033
Activity points for high intensity = [your weight] x [minutes] x 0.00081
Light intensity is described as being able to talk and sing, with regular breathing and no sweating. Examples of light intensity activities are leisurely walking or biking. Moderate intensity is described as being able to talk but not sing, with deep breathing and sweating after 10 minutes. Examples of moderate intensity activities are brisk walking or brisk biking. High intensity is described as being able to only talk briefly, with rapid deep breathing and sweating after 3-5 minutes. Examples of high intensity activities are running or competitive cycling.



FlexPoints
In addition to eating all of your Target Points each day and optionally eating some or all of your Activity Points each day, you’ll begin each week with 35 FlexPoints. Use them any way you please. Don’t use them at all, use some, divide them evenly over the week, or spend them all on a weekend splurge. Once the week is up, they’re gone. Keep track of them in your QuikTrak System.

Answer 3

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

Get started today!

Answer 4

First of all, 20-30 pounds is too much weight to lose in such a short period of time. You should aim to lose 1-2 lbs per week. Anything more than that is unhealthy.

The best way to do it is to develop a healthy diet based on calories and fat content (depending on how tall you are and how much you weight, its somewhere between 1500-200 calories a day, and as few grams of fat as possible.) Then exercise 30 minutes to an hour, 3-4 days a week. Thats all it takes to lose weight safely

Answer 5

I would sugest drinking PLENTY OF WATER! Of course you should drink your 8-12 (8 ounce) glasses per day....but when you are trying to loose weight you should consume food that is lower in calories, No fried food, Raw is best You should consume LESS calories than you plan on burning. Water comes into play here too....For 2,000 calories that you're burning, you should be consuming 2,000 milliliters, which is about 2 liters, which is a little bit more than 2 quarts -- which is your eight glasses a day! My rule is that for every extra pound I want to loose, I drink 1 extra ounce of water...
Try to have fun while your excersizing...if you have kids, play with them outside! If not go Swimming, Play frisbee or anything outside in this beautiful weather! Work in the garden, be as active as you possibly can! Losing 20-30 lbs is a major challange but know in your mind that you CAN do it! If it comes down to it to keep yourself on track by keeping a daily log on what you eat & what exercize you do! Keep Positive and SET GOALS! I believe in you...you have the desire...now fufill it!
Good Luck & Keep me posted!

Answer 8

Eat a crap load of tuna with salsa and salads with mustard as dressing, Diet mountain dew yourself to death. Eat as much as you need to in order to be full. Then go running or if you can't sit in a sauna. But do these with a trash bag under your shirt against your skin. You look like a fool, but you can sweat out a pound a day. Remember to drink tons of water cuz this will dehydrate you. If you plan on working out a lot, the diet doesn't leave you with much energy so supplement it with hydroxycut and you will have energy and supplement your diet with some multivitamins so you dont get all comatose on me.

Answer 9

Exercise by running, jogging, bicycling, swimming in a lake or public pool. Any exercise is good, and you don't need to get gym memberships for them.
Also, eat healthy. Cut back on your caloric intake so that it is less than what you burn daily. Cut back on fatty foods.

Answer 10

Cut down a little on meats. Raise your fruit and vegetable intake. Drink a lot of water. Maintain a reasonable workout. It isn't going to happen overnight.
