***Activity Points ***
Hey guys - did you know that when you start working out ... you can add points to your daily menu! Here's what Laurie says about the point system. If you have any questions regarding this - she would be the one to contact as I am just learning about it as well...
*At the beginning of your 3rd week you can start earning activity pts. Not before then.
* Activity points earned MUST BE USED in the day that they were earned. You cannot carry them or save them for another day.
First you have to identify your intesity level.
High--Activities that make you sweat. Examples include jogging, running, competive swimming, or competive biking, aerobics.
Moderate--Activities that probably make you break a sweat. Examples include walking at a fast pace or biking.
Light--Light activities that do not make you sweat. Examples include streatching or walking at a leisurely pace.
*The second thing to look at is the amount of time or minutes of activity.
15 mins
30 mins.
60 mins.
* Third thing is your body weight.
LIGHT ACTIVITY
100-145 lbs. 15 mins=0 pts
146-350 lbs. 15 mins=1 pt
100-210 lbs. 30 mins=1 pt
211-350 lbs. 30 mins=2 pts
100-110 lbs. 60 mins=1 pt
111-180 lbs. 60 mins=2 pts
181-250 lbs. 60 mins=3 pts
251-320 lbs. 60 mins=4 pts

261-350 lbs. 30 mins=3 pts
100-130 lbs. 60 mins=2 pts
131-180 lbs. 60 mins=3 pts
181-230 lbs. 60 mins=4 pts
231-280 lbs. 60 mins=5 pts
281-330 lbs. 60 mins=6 pts

100-125 lbs. 15 mins=1 pt
126-210 lbs. 15 mins=2 pts
211-290 lbs. 15 mins=3 pts
291-350 lbs. 15 mins=4 pts
100-145 lbs. 30 mins=3pts
146-185 lbs. 30 mins=4 pts
186-230 lbs. 30 mins=5 pts
231-270 lbs. 30 mins=6 pts
271-310 lbs. 30 mins=7 pts
311-350 lbs. 30 mins=8 pts
100-115 lbs. 60 mins=5 pts
116-135 lbs. 60 mins=6 pts
136-160 lbs. 60 mins=7 pts
161-180 lbs. 60 mins=8 pts
181-200 lbs. 60 mins=9 pts
201-220 lbs. 60 mins=10 pts
221-240 lbs. 60 mins=11 pts
241-260 lbs. 60 mins=12 pts
260-350 lbs. 60 mins=13 pts
Whew! I hope all this makes sense. Feel free to let me know if you need anything else!

Hey Laurie -
If I am working out...do I have to eat the additional points that I gain or can I just stick to my regular 24 points a day???
Do you see people tend to lose weight faster if they work out and not EAT MORE POINTS!! Jenn

If your working out and earn the extra points it's really up to you if you want to use them or not. Your right, if you don't use those extra points and still work out the weight will drop faster.
Keep in mind though that every once in a while your body needs that jolt to keep your metabolism running at full speed. Sometimes eating the extra points can lead to a loss as well. Confusing? If you're at a plateau and your body is used to burning say 24 pts. all the time it's comfortable there. If you eat 34 pts in a day your body has to work a little harder to burn it (if your working out it's really in high gear) and then drop back down to the 24 pts the next day~your metabolism is still going at a higher pace thus burner those 24 pts and then some in no time. Didn't mean to confuse ya but just wanted to throw that out there! Laurie
