I went to WW today and was able to purchase the books without joining the program. I didn't ask if I needed to join I just pretended I knew what I was doing. For $35 I bought a points calculator and a start up kit which included a journal, dining out points book and a Complete food companion book that lists the points for thousands of food items. After going over these I still couldn't figure out how to calculate my activity points so I searched the web and found this:
Activity points for light intensity = [your weight] x [minutes] x 0.00023
Activity points for moderate intensity = [your weight] x [minutes] x 0.00033
Activity points for high intensity = [your weight] x [minutes] x 0.00081
These points you get to add to your daily total. Don't get too excited. I walked for an hour and got to add a measly 3 points! Just goes to prove that is really about what you eat!!!!!
After buying the book I bought a new pedometer. You want to find one that does not operate on a pendulum mechanism. They are way more accurate. I set my stride length and now I'm good to go. Our goal? 10,000 steps a day!!
