Okay, I am posting on my points usage for today (decided to go back to points).
I used all my points today (29), and 24 weekly allowance, minus the 11 points I earned today. So, I have 19 weekly points allowance left.
I earned 6 points in Zumba
I earned 3 points in SciFit
I earned 2 points on the treadmill
Those of you doing WW please share w/ me (if you don't mind) the following (you can copy and paste and leave in comments):
How many points do you get in a day?
Do you earn all of your activity points?
Do you exchange your activity points for food?
Do you use your weekly allowance?
I am just curious. I am at a huge straight line, partly my fault.....okay, all my fault, but I am going to get over the hump and move forward! I ate ABSOLUTELY NO sweets today. I have gone 1 day without sweets! lol
Another question, if you earn more than 24 activity points a week can you exchange them for food?
Side note: I read that Zumba earns you more points per hour than almost any other high intensity workout, and is one of the easiest to do! (read it on a health blog today, haven't actually researched it, but I did find that a person weighing only 160 can earn 7.5 points per hour class!)
My goal is to lose this week, yep, JUST LOSE! lol, even if it is just an ounce! lol
Let's Do It!

Day 2:
ReplyDeleteI went out to eat, and used all my weekly points allowance and all of my activity points, but 2.
I earned 3 points in trekking.
I have not ate sweets in over 48 hours!
In response to your questions above:
ReplyDelete1.) How many points do you get in a day? I am currently at 29 daily points. I started out with 33, so my weight has come down through 4 "decades" as they say in WW.
2.) Do you earn all of your activity points? I am not positive what you are asking here. The only way to get activity points is to earn them. For example, and this is as I understand it, if you do something out of the norm for your DAILY routine, such as mowing the yard, spring cleaning the house (or simply cleaning the house if you only do it once a week or whatever), any type of exercise, etc., then you earn activity points. You aren't earning activity points if you are doing your normal, every day thing. The only exception I would think there is to that is if you're wearing the WW pedometer and have it set on "all day," because you have to take a certain number of steps before you start earning activity points. In other words, once you've input your weight, you have to take so many steps before you are burning more than your "fair share" of calories.
3.) Do you exchange your activity points for food? Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I try not to exchange ALL of my activity points for food. However, I do use my activity points before I start using my weekly allowance points. I personally feel like this helps me to not over indulge.
4.) Do you use your weekly allowance? I have used them all, and I have not used any. More often than not, I don't use them. There have been times, i.e., company picnic, friends' grandson's b-day party, etc., where I have used my weekly points because I went over my daily points (and whatever activity points I'd earned that particular day). I try not to delve into the weekly points, but I know they are there if and when I want/need them. It's nice to have that "cushion!"
5.)If you earn more than 24 activity points in a week, can you exchange them for food? I've never figured up how many activity points I've earned in a week. At the meeting I attend, we are, of course, encouraged to exercise and earn points (for obvious reasons!), but we haven't been given a set number to work towards on a weekly basis. I should clarify and say that since I have been attending these meetings, we have not been told to earn X number of points per week. But fyi, as I said before, I do sometimes use my points in exchange for food, but #1 I track my activity points at one point lower than I feel I earned (example, I feel I've earned 5 points on a walk, I will record 4 points), & #2 I try to not exchange ALL of my activity points for food. Again, this is just a method I use to ensure that I am not overindulging.
I hope this is of some help to you, or helps to answer some of your questions. Some of the tactics I use, though, may not be of benefit to you. For one thing, you are 14 years younger than me, and for another, you take care of 5 kids, a husband, and a house, so you are much more active than I am on a daily basis.
I would also like to say to everyone else that I hope to see some posts from you soon! I would love to hear from you about ideas, suggestions, stories (good or bad...I've shared both!), etc.
Love you all!
Day 3, Sat, used all my points up! Did not work out, after all, it's Sat! lol
ReplyDeleteDay 4, Sun, went over. I did good until I came home starving after church! I ate 2 oat and honey granola bars! I still feel hungry, hmmmm. Anyway, I am going to deduct these points from my daily points. I know they say you shouldn't do that, but I figure it would be similar to not using my extra points...I don't know. I am hoping to still lose this week!
