Weight Watchers Activity Points Running
March 26th, 2009
Has anyone training for a marathon while nursing a baby and doing Weight Watchers?
Technically, I would get 30 pts per day (plus 10 nursing 20 pts.), also winning 3-5 activity points per day. However, the baby nurses only 3-4 times a day and, like all life, I keep to 22 pts a day. I've been giving only two, instead of the top 10 for nursing my daily diet by 24 pts. Now add 20 to 30 run miles a week and do not know how many abnormal points to use! If I add points of activity, sometimes win, sometimes not. I'm wondering if anyone else in the world has ever combined WW, nursing and training for the marathon and has some advice!?! Thanks! Side note: This is the second child who has nursed in its second year of life. Weight Watchers has a program for nursing mothers and I'm not looking for breastfeeding advice. I'm looking specifically for people who have been in the same situation. Thank you.
I have not been in your situation but I am a leader and here is the advice I give. As you know I normally keep to 22 points, I would add 10 points total (no matter if it's the extra 10 or activity – a point is a point), if you stay in that room there, if you lose add a point or two. If it goes, low a point or two. Keep adjusting in this way to be maintained. Misfortune is a juggling act and you'll have to work at it until it is right for you. Good luck on the weight, the baby, and the marathon.
