I have had several people ask me how many points they are supposed to have in a day. Here's the list of points. Add up the ones that apply to you for your total.
Female (not pregnant or nursing) - 2 pts
Male - 8 pts (so NOT FAIR)
Nursing Mom - 12 pts
Age 17-26 - 4 pts
Age 27-37 - 3 pts
Age 38-47 - 2 pts
Age 48-58 - 1 pts
Over age 58 - 0 pts (That stinks, doesn't it???)
Height under 5'1" - 0 pts (Wearing high heals doesn't count!)
Height 5'1" to 5'10" - 1 pts
Height over 5'10" - 2 pts (now that's a tall glass of water!)
Spend day mostly sitting down - 0 pts (We've got to get more active to earn more food!!)
Spend day mainly standing - 2 pts
Spend day mostly walking - 4 pts
Spend day doing physically hard work - 6 pts
Weigh 100-109 pounds - 10 pts (Why are you on a diet, I ask????)
Weigh 110-119 - 11 pts
Weigh 120-129 - 12 pts
Weigh 130-139 - 13 pts
Weigh 140-149 - 14 pts
Weigh 150-159 - 15 pts
(Okay, I'm tired of typing. Do you see the pattern here? Use the first 2 digits of your weight for your main number of points.)
Example:
I am a female, thankfully not pregnant or nursing (2), age 45 (2), 5'8" tall (1), My activity level is somewhere between sitting on my lazy butt all day and doing light housework, running errands (1), and I weigh 169 (16)
Daily Points target is 2+2+1+1+16 = 22
People under the age of 17 or people with health problems (diabetes, etc.) shouldn't follow the above plan without advice from their doctor.

Thanks...Frances.
Ok......so I thought I had almost 2 months before my Cancun trip. So I was wrong.....we leave on Feb 7. My hopes were to lose 15lbs. So I know it is not the best thing to do but I am determined to still try to do this. Do you have any tips on how I migt accomplish such a big goal in a tad bit over a month??
That's 3 pounds a week - A reasonable goal on Weight Watchers. Just follow the plan and incorporate 30 minutes of aerobic exercise like walking, stair-stepping, jump roping, biking a day. You can do this! You're gonna be lookin' hot in Cancun!
