Previously, after I had my first son I used weight watchers to lose 20 pounds. I had 20 points a day , plus 20 bonus points for the week, and any additional points from exercise. I hear now there are more weight watchers programs. Anyone doing the other ones and any recommendations will help. Also, does anyone know how many bonus points for a 1 hour circuit workout like bootcamp. thanks

There is the "core" program in which I switched to from flex about a month or so ago. I love it in that it totally develops good habits by eating lots of whole grains, fruits etc. I found myself saving my points for junk instead of good nutritious foods. On the core program you don't have to count points which was a bonus for me. I was so stressed about not counting enough etc. But this program is all about portion control and hunger-satisfaction not stuffing yourself. You still get your wpa's and ap's to use for non-core stuff so I don't feel deprived. I have lost about 11 lbs since switching and the funny thing is that it hasn't been hard. The boards help alot, especially the core forums. I have alot of support there. Research it and see if it fits you. I have seen some changes already in my approach to food and the kind of foods I desire to eat.
As far as your question for ap's on your workout, I'm not sure. I know for a 30 minute low-intensity step without the riser and barely sweating is about 2 points.

I do the flex plan which is similar to the weight watchers your familar with--the points system(I think they just gave it a knew name). You get your everyday pts thats determined by your age,height,current weight and activity level! Then you get 35 flex pts that you can use over the period of a week! Then thiers activity pts!
So far Im losing on the flex,but sooner or later I'll hit a plateou(hope not ;-)) and will switch to the core. And Cristina explains the core very well!
As for the activity pts,Thats kinda hard to determine unless I have your weight,the intensity of the workout and how long the workout was.( I us my Activity points booster slider and it gives me an idea. )
BTW-Theres also a Weight Watchers Thread on the check-inn& Challenges forum,Everybody is welcomed!!!!!
Hope this helps
Good luck
