Wendie Plan & Activity Points
Thank you!
The advice and suggestions written here were authored by Wendigirl There have been a lot of questions about whether to eat Activity Points earned while doing the Wendie Plan. While we are not experts on this subject and all of us are struggling together to come up with the right mix of Activity Points earned and Activity Points eaten this is the recommendation we are making to people at this time: Low Days: Eat ALL Activity Points earned on Low Days. Example: 18 Point Day 5 Activity Points Earned 23 Total Points - Should Be Eaten High Days: If you earn 4 or more Activity Points a day, you should be eating 1/2 of your Activity Points. Example: 23 Point day 5 Activity Points Earned *3 Activity Points Eaten 26 Total Points - Should Be Eaten * Round Activity Points up to the next whole number Super High Day: Unless you are feeling hungry, you should not eat the Activity Points on your Super High Day. This day is high enough without eating the Activity Points. If you are feeling hungry, go ahead and eat 1/2 of your Activity Points. On this day - Let Your Body Be Your Guide. Example: 33 Point Day 6 Activty Points Earned 3 Activity Points Eaten 36 Total Points Eaten - Only If you are Hungry! The whole point is to keep your body out of starvation mode. This past week we put a challenge out to anybody doing the Wendie Plan. We asked the ladies to eat some or all of their Activity Points for 1 week. The results that have been coming in show that people are losing weight when they eat some or all of their Activity Points. We know that everybody is different and that there isn't one sure formula for everyone, so this is the best formula we have come up with at this time. We hope this will help everyone continue to be successful on the Wendie Plan and on their weight loss journey with Weight Watchers.

Wendiegirl and I, Wendy Heskell, are not the same person. I say this to discourage any confusion. I follow the Wendie plan after finding the information on a few website and reading about it in a Woman's Day Magazine. I do not remember when the magazine was posted but I was intregued and decided to do some research on it. Thankyou Wendie for coming up with such an innovational plan variation. I love it. Figuring your Activity Points! There are 3 formulas for figuring out your activity points that were earned daily. You choose the intensity that you did. Then Multiply your weight by your total minutes of cardio and then multiply it by your Intensity factor (the number with the decimal) to get your Activity Points also know as...(APs) example: 215 lbs x 30 minutes lite cardiox .000232 = 1.5 APs Light Intensity Activity: {you can sing and talk} Your Weight x Minutes x .000232 = Activity Points Moderate Intensity Activity: {You can talk but not sing} Your Weight x Minutes x .000327 = Activity Points Heavy Intensity Activity: {You need deep breaths to talk} Your Weight x Minutes x .0008077 = Activity Points
