Point System?

I am overweight (and not to prideful to admit it) and I really need to control my eating. I like th point system that weightwatchers has setup, but what would be the maximum point intake for a regular 2,000 calorie diet. It doesn’t have to be 2,000 calories, but what would be a goid amount of points daily. This system is very nice because I always have a hard time choosing between which is more important, calories, fats, sugars, or carbs, and the points system makes it easier.

    I have the book in my hand right now…You have to add the numbers in order to get your points. Ready?
    Are you:
    Female?—–2pts
    Male?——-8pts
    A Nursing Mom*?—–12pts
    How Old Are You?
    17*-26———4pts
    27-37———3pts
    38-47———2pts
    48-58———1pts
    Over 58——-0pts
    What do you weigh?
    Enter the first two digits of your weight in pounds. For example, if you weigh 175, enter 17. If you weigh less than 100 pounds, enter the first digit of your weight in pounds. i.e. for 98, enter 9.
    How tall are you?
    Under 5′1″—-0pts
    5′1″-5′10″—-1pts
    Over 5′10″—-2pts
    Do you spend most of your day:
    Sitting down?——————0pts
    (e.g. as a receptionist, bus driver, cab driver)
    Occasionally sitting, but mainly standing?—2pts
    (e.g. sales person, housewife, cook, teacher)
    Walking most of the time?——-4pts
    (e.g. waiter, mailman)
    Doing physically hard work most of the time?—6pts
    (e.g. nurse, gardener, construction worker)
    The total is your daily points target.
    **If your total is less than 18, your daily points target is 18; if your total is more than 44, your daily points target is 44.
    ***Retake the quiz as your weight goes down, as you get older or if you change the way you spend you day.
    Remember that you have 35 allowance points each week as well. You can save them to eat out once a week, or however you choose. You don’t even have to use them if you don’t want to. Keep in mind that they start over each week.
    You also earn more points when you exercise. You have to have a points calculator to help determine how many points you’ve earned.
    I was able to lose 25 pounds within two months. The weight melted right off. If I can do it, I know you can too. It works. Trust me! GOOD LUCK!
