Weight Watchers Quick Tracker

[chc9498]

I am trying to set up a spreadsheet for a Weight Watchers tracker - you are
alloted a certain number of points and as you eat, you subtract the points
from your allowance.

How would I make a formula that can do that automatically? I tried starting
with the number and then writing the formula but it was a circular reference.

I would use any checkbook register template to start. The deposits would the
daily allocation of points and the "checks" would record the points consumed
day-by-day or meal-by-meal. Here is an example:

Hello,
You might want to do a search for weight watchers excel spreadsheets. There are a couple out there that you can download that may have all that information for you and all you need to do is complete the daily information.

Here are a couple of links for different excel spreadsheets that may be of interest:
a Weight Watchers Recipe Points Counter. http://xptechsupport.com/recipecalculator.xls
All you have to do is type in the ingredients and their points and it will ad up the value at the end. A little of a manual process but hopefully it will help you do recipes and figure out the points. The second spreadsheet is a way to calculate your points. If you do not want to just use the book to write down your points then you can use this Weight Watchers Points spreadsheet. http://xptechsupport.com/points.xls The spreadsheet allows you to add your points for each day of the week and then you can do a "Save as" and give it the name of the week and you will have an archive of all of your points to look back on.

And this link is for a WW journal and points calculator that will give you a spreadsheet that will track the points used (Points Used) each day, the cumulative points used for the week (Total), the cumulative points allowed www.stellamama.com/MyWeightWatcherspoints.xls

Hope this helps you out.
