Flexpoints

Fludge · 2004-01-26T10:01:04+00:00

Hi again, Okay, so I have some cookbooks, and I have a grasp of 35 flexpoints a week, plus extra for exercise etc; in order to get a starting points target that I could kick off with, would I have to go to a meeting and/or buy the handbook off ebay, or is there anywhere on the web where it's all laid out and explained? Is this kind of info' only available on the WW website if you subscribe? I've had a look around, but it's very confusing out there. Thanks again.

Unfortunately I could not find a current POINTS chart - I only found the former Winning Points
charts which contained a 5 point range for each weight range. But other than the lowest range, take
the low value for each weight and than add TWO points for the daily limit. So for 150-174, the
points for the day would now be 22. The 150 or less is now 20 as. No day is less than 20 points.
Someone may have a new chart reference. Most of the FAQ and even the greetings links seem to still
point to the older charts and I'm not sure who would need to contact those links' authors to make
changes to make them current - I have a feeling some have been around for a long time.
Current Weight
Daily Point Ranges

Does this chart help you? lesslisa.comwwchart.htm
It might help you to go to a few meetings so that you can get the new materials detailing how the
program works. The online program also tells you. I have seen folks selling the entire set of
Flexpoints info in eBay. Any one of these would be an option.

Thanks. I knew someone posted something just recently but could not find a bookmark/favorite in the
mess that has accumulated or may be on the laptop. (G)
