New to site!

[sbaas95]

Hi everybody!

I just started WW (again) today! I can't believe there is this cool site, full of people who help each other out!

About 5 years ago, I did WW and lost 45lbs in only 7 months! Slowly, I have put back on the weight. I decided that this time, I am going to stick to it and lose all 45 lbs. and more! :exercise:

Can anybody tell me what the Flex Points are for my weight? (215) Last time I did it, I think it was 22-27 points per day, but since then they have changed the way that your daily points are figured, right? Isn't there a set number per day with 35 extra points per week?

Thanks for you help!

Welcome to BCB, sbaas95. WW has changed in the last 5 years. Go to at least one meeting to get up to date information. :) Then if you want to do WW from home, you'll have the most current info. (I do WWAH myself.) Find a board or two to call home, introduce yourself there, and post often! We're glad to have you. :salut
