How many Weight Watchers points to lose a specfic amount of weight?
From what I’ve seen I understand that weight watchers plans using your age, sex, exercise (activity points) etc to establish how many points you can eat a day/week. And they say that you need a consultant to determine how many points to reach your weight goals.
But how do they determine how many points you should be taking in to lose a particular amount of weight by a certain time. I know there must be a particular technique used. Probably even a formula.

The link below is for the official weight watchers point quiz which you would use to help you get into your healthy weight range for your height. The amount of time needed will vary depending on how much you need to lose. If you follow the plan closely you will lose .5 to 2 pounds a week. There is no other formula for accelerated weight loss.
I think it is best to consult a specialist or go to a meeting and talk to the leader as they will be able to give you accurate advice.
To find your daily points allowance, give yourself the number of points listed next to the option that fits your situation best:
Your sex:
If you are female- score 2 points
If you are male- score 8
If you are nursing- score 12
Your age:
17 to 26- score 4
27 to 37- score 3
38 to 47- score 2
48 to 58- score 1
Over 58- score 0
Your current weight:
Enter the first 2 digits of your weight in pounds. If you are 175 lbs for example, you would enter “17″.
Your height:
under 5’1″- score 0
5’1″ to 5’10″- score 1
Over 5’10″- score 2
Your activity level on most days of the week, how do you spend your day?:
sitting down- score 0
occassionally sitting, but mostly standing- score 2
walking most of the time- score 4
doing physically hard work most of the time- score 6
Add up all your scored points- that is your daily points target.
