Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 I am very happy with myself... I earned 53 activity points this week. That is so good for me... because BEFORE WW I would not lift a finger to work out. I hated to work out. I still don't like it very much, but I'm trying.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Do you think that you, or someone, can explain activity points and how they work? Thanks!! And great on being so active! I'm still trying to get into a routine with my workouts, but I know I feel better the days I do SOMETHING rather than NOTHING! =) D. Re: NSV activity points I am very happy with myself...

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 I use WW online. They (online program) keep track of my activity points. I'm not REAL sure how they are figured. BUT I tread/run fast in the water everyday. Usually for 30minutes and 5points. Sometimes I go for 40 minutes for 6points. Other times this week I have swam and walked. I'm not sure how the program works when you go to meetings. But with the online, I enter walking, it asks if I golfed, walked leisure, or walked fast. I pick the type of walking and then enter a time. It spits out a number. Hope this helps. Suzie JENNY WROTE: > Do you think that you, or someone, can explain activity points and how they work?

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Hello everyone. I'm fairly new to this group, but I've been with Weight Watchers on and off again since 1998. I started the program again in Jan. after having DS (who is now 8 months); I gained 70 pounds w/ my son! When I first joined the program (w/ 123Success - I think), we were encouraged to exercise at least 20 minutes per day. Then, for every 20 minutes above that, you received 1 point. Then, with Winning Points, the program was changed to allow you to receive 1 point for every 20 minutes of exercise, including the first 20 minutes. Currently, I use the WWCalc program for the Palm (designed by Bob Withers) wherein your activity points are calculated according to light (doesn't make you sweat; can sing and talk; ex. stretching or walking at a leisurely pace), moderate (sweat after 10 minutes of continuous exercise; breathe often and deep, can talk but not sing; ex. walk at a face pace or biking) and high intensity (sweat after several minutes of continuous exercise; breathing is more rapid and deep; able to speak briefly, but not hold a long conversation; ex. jogging, running, competitive swimming or biking). I exercise on the elliptical every day for 35 to 45 minutes; I lift weights every other day for 10 to 15 minutes. I earn 3 activity points; I always use moderate b/c I'm always afraid to move up to high, even though I know my exercise is at the high level. Hope this helps. Sorry so long!
