Step points

[xxmariexx]

Hi all,

I'm planning on starting weight watchers again tomorrow. Know the diet inside out so going to try and do it with the apps and hopefully support on here without going to a class. I just used to weigh and go anyway.

I know its a personal thing but was wondering if anyone knows how many steps to earn points? I'm 17 stones and 5" 5".

Thanks x

I've got no idea as never used a pedometer. I just to calculate it through the WW app- I just selected walking as the activity and how long for and it would be 2pp or something for 30 mins.

Thanks for replying . I use the app if it's an actual walk. I try and accumulate steps throughout the day by parking further away, walking round the shops etc. I don't use my exercise points but was just curious as to how many steps = a point

Ooh, I didn't realise exercise made more points. Good to know. Exercise bike coming back out today!

Oh yes Liz. You can gain exercise points that you can eat if you want . So get that exercise bike dusted down. You've shamed me into clearing the coats from my power plate. Too early to jump on it tho. I live in a flat and the vibration is terrible. Don't want to shake the couple downstairs from their bed

Would be good if we all had pedometers and did a challenge of so many steps per week.

How many is it they say we should walk a day??? Is it 10, 000????

 

[xxmariexx]

It is 10,000. I'm lucky if I hit 5000 and that's on a day I've made an effort :0. We should set up a challenge. Might get me moving x

Hi Laura, I've done ok today. Still have 6 points left . Oh what to have! I've a massive 6 stones to loose. I too am using the apps from home. I just used to weigh and go when I went to class, so was wasting money. Good luck to you too. We can do this

You should get a pedometer. Bet you clock up loads of steps just up and down with your baba x
