How to Find Your Point Range for Weight Watchers

The point range for weight watchers is key to the entire weight loss system. Without this point range for weight watchers, even counting the points for your eating will not help you greatly. The key is to downgrade your high consumption to a level that keeps your body fueled, but allows for ongoing long term weight loss from lifestyle change. Here's how to calculate your weight watchers point range.

Instructions

1. 

   Weigh yourself first thing in the morning without any clothes. This will give you an accurate reading. Be sure your scale is accurate and calibrated. You can do this by placing an object of known weight on the scale.

2. Determine your general suggested weight watchers point range with your weight from this list:

   150 pounds: 18 to 23 points
   150 to 174lbs: 20 to 25 points
   175 to 199lbs: 22 to 27 points
   200 to 224lbs: 24 to 29 points
   225 to 249lbs: 26 to 31 points
   250 to 274lbs: 28 to 33 points
   275 to 299lbs: 29 to 34 points
   300 to 324lbs: 30 to 35 points
   325 to 349lbs: 31 to 36 points
   Over 350lbs: 32 to 37 points

3. 

   Adjust your weight watchers point range based on intensity and duration of exercise. These point ranges are based on average daily activity and do not include intensive exercise with long duration. In order to be sure you get enough to fuel your ongoing exercise, add one to two points for every twenty minutes of intense exercise for the day. Exercise and lowered calories are key to any weight loss system.

4. 

   Keep track of everything that goes in your mouth. The point range only helps you if you keep track of absolutely every crumb that hits your tongue. Do not allow yourself to go outside of your range on any given day and you will have long term weight loss through weight watchers weight loss system.
