Do you eat all your flex/activity points?

I don't... and maybe I should? I have 49 weekly flex points - I usually end up using about 15-20 of them. I also earn 20-30 activity points per week, and I never dip into them.

I don't feel like I'm ever hungry or deprived really... but I'm wondering if this will eventually sabotage me.

What do you do?

Re: Do you eat all your flex/activity points?

I have actually found (and I think I'm an anomaly) that dipping too much into my flex points is counterproductive for me. I know they say use them that's what they're there for but the weeks I don't use them or use them less I always lose more. I never dip into activity points but with flex I fluctuate - some weeks I use 1-5 of them and some I use almost all, and my body seems to respond better when I use fewer.

I vary- sometimes I don't use any..sometime I use them all.

According to Weight Watchers, members who use all of their weekly allowance points lose and keep the weight off more successfully. This is probably due in part to the fact they don't feel deprived so they don't relapse and binge. However, if you don't feel deprived- I don't see a reason to.

You have to find out what works best for you. Try eating more/less. See how you feel and see what the scale says.

I dip into my flex points a little on points plus but I never use my activity points. When I do, I don't lose anything. I would love to get to the point where I don't even need the flex points but life happens so I just try my best to just stick to my DPT.

Re: Do you eat all your flex/activity points?

I usually eat about 1/2 to 3/4 of them.
