I have the book in my hand right now...You have to add the numbers in order to get your points. Ready?
Are you:
Female?-----2pts
Male?-------8pts
A Nursing Mom*?-----12pts
How Old Are You?
17*-26---------4pts
27-37---------3pts
38-47---------2pts
48-58---------1pts
Over 58-------0pts
What do you weigh?
Enter the first two digits of your weight in pounds. For example, if you weigh 175, enter 17. If you weigh less than 100 pounds, enter the first digit of your weight in pounds. i.e. for 98, enter 9.
How tall are you?
Under 5'1"----0pts
5'1"-5'10"----1pts
Over 5'10"----2pts
Do you spend most of your day:
Sitting down?------------------0pts
(e.g. as a receptionist, bus driver, cab driver)
Occasionally sitting, but mainly standing?---2pts
(e.g. sales person, housewife, cook, teacher)
Walking most of the time?-------4pts
(e.g. waiter, mailman)
Doing physically hard work most of the time?---6pts
(e.g. nurse, gardener, construction worker)
The total is your daily points target.
*Nursing moms and young people under 17 should talk with a WW leader before beginning the program.
**If your total is less than 18, your daily points target is 18; if your total is more than 44, your daily points target is 44.
***Retake the quiz as your weight goes down, as you get older or if you change the way you spend you day.
Remember that you have 35 allowance points each week as well. You can save them to eat out once a week, or however you choose. You don't even have to use them if you don't want to. Keep in mind that they start over each week.
You also earn more points when you exercise. You have to have a points calculator to help determine how many points you've earned.
GOOD LUCK!

Remember that weight watchers is NOT a church or a non-profit organization. It is a business to make money. They only want your money. If you happen to lose weight, then your testimonial will help them MAKE MORE MONEY.
See site below to learn the right way to lose weight without doing counting which can make you depressed and even fatter. Learn why salt and non-fat milk is so fattening.
Which has more calories: a plain potato or one with a healthy fat like olive oil (extra virgin and cold pressed)? The latter. Which is more fattening? The former. How can this be? The fat slows down the calories going into the blood (see glycemic load and glycemic index).
