[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My daily points are 26, but I exercise about 5-9 points worth daily. I eat every single point alloted to me.[/quote]

Wow. What do you do earn that many exercise points? I work out for 45 minutes and only earn 3 as far as I can figure it.[/quote]

New poster here.

My spin class alone is 9 points.  Tomorrow I will run for an hour (probably 7 miles or so) and I will earn 10 points for that. According to my HR monitor watch my run tomorrow will kill 720cal and I am going to be wanting to knaw my arm off all day tomorrow and will blow through my 26 points in 1.5 meals.

If you are only earning 3 Points in 45 minuets, you really need to ramp up your effort.[/quote]

How well does your HR Monitor align with WW activity points?  The scale (low, moderate, high) seems very coarse, and I bet i really mis-estimate my APs using it!  Tempted to get a HRM for better tracking of calories burned...[/quote]

Do you know the rough translation of WWpts to calories? For example:

-50 min spin class gives me 9 points. In that class I burn around 575 cal give or take 25.

I can tell you that I do love my HRM, especially for the cal burned. I'm sure it is not 100% accurate, but it gives me a good idea of how hard I have worked. I have done spin and only burned 450pts and I know after that class that I was really lazy and did not work my hardest. If I burn over 600, I'm really proud. It means that I kept my HR pretty high.

If I do an exercise that burns, say, 800cal and above, my hunger will be off the charts for 24hrs and it makes it very hard to keep control.[/quote]
