I did Weight Watchers Online about 4 years ago and I now want to lose a few pounds before Xmas, I am going to use my Weight Watchers calculator to do so. I've forgotten how to keep points if you want to use them for a special occasion etc, can anyone clarify how this works again please?

If your on say, 20 points per day and one day you only eat 15 points worth of food that means you can eat 25 points the next day. Or you can save them up over the week and use them at the weekend, but you can't carry them over to the following week. Good luck with your weight lose, I'm on weight watchers at the moment, and it really works for me!!!!!

The average weight loss amongst Weight Watchers Points participants "is not very much in comparison to what people hope they will lose, or what people need to lose in order to reach the desired, svelte self," reported study author Dr. Stanley Heshka.
Heshka suggests that people who need to lose a significant amount of weight fairly quickly for medical reasons may want to opt out of Weight Watchers Points program and similarly structured programs. However, this does not mean Weight Watchers Points system holds no benefit. While, on average, participants lost only small amounts of weight while enrolled in the structured Weight Watchers Points program, some lost much more, with the maximum amount of weight loss reaching around 50 pounds. The structured program "seems to hold advantages over trying to lose the weight by yourself," Heshka said.
For people who are not yet obese but are experiencing an increase in weight, or have a family history of problems that can be aggravated by excess weight - such as heart disease or diabetes - Weight Watchers Points program may have a significant impact on health.

There are currently two programs at WW. One involves counting points, which is closer to what you remember. The other program called core involves determing your comfort zone (the midpoint between stuffed to the gills and starvin' like Marvin). You are allowed to eat as much of certain basic foods (lean meats, certain vegetables and grains) it takes to get you into your comfort zone. I've never done the Core program because, frankly, if I knew where my comfort zone was I wouldn't have been a fatty in the first place.
As for points, the program is based on your current weight (which you haven't provided). If you weigh the following, you get the following points:
Less than 150 pounds = 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 and over=34
In addition, under the points plan you get a points allowance of 35 points which you can spend during the week as you see fit.

I wouldn't suggest a fad diet like weight watchers. Dieting is simple. Just eat less calories than you consume. You need carbohydrates, so by all means have some, but have it be something more healthy like fruit. Other than that try to get lots of proteins and vegetables. The walking is a great idea, and I suggest running when you get used to it.

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/dwJzV
A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

based on your weight you get X # of points per days, and each week you get an additional 35 flex points per day...once that week is up, the felx points cannot not be rolled over into the next week....also be sure to use at least half of your flex points...my leader really encourages this..good luck
