okay... back now.
This is the quiz from Weight Watchers to calculate your points.
Remember that if you do exercise you can have up to 3 bonus points a day.
You can also save points from one day and use them on another day... but you can't use them in another week.
You should eat ALL your points. If you don't eat all your points - there is a chance that your body holds onto it's fat stores and you don't lose weight. Working at WW, it was amazing how many people would cut back on their points, thinking that they would lose weight faster - and it would have the opposite effect. And when we worked out they weren't eating enough, and the started eating properly... their weight loss started happening again.

okay.. you add up your score... but
if your total is less then 18 points - adjust it to be 18 (that is minimum points)
If your total is more than 33 for women or 40 for men or breastfeeding mums - adjust your score to 33 or 40 respectively.
Retake the quiz as your weight changes, or your circumstances change...
