WW point plus...2 thoughts...

1. Do you use those extra points every week? Just save them for a party or something? I am taking supplemental nursing points so I really don't want to touch that other 49. I will but do you really still lose?

2. So I am tracking big time. Never really did that before. But I need this weight off. So, let me say, food has never tasted so good. I am eating the things I normally eat, just smaller portions...but the eating with no guilt...knowing I am in my points range...makes the food taste so good.

I really hope I lose this week, or ignore my 2nd thought

I don't always use my 49 points. I either don't use them at all or save them for one big meal on the weekends. I've always done that with my extra points (even on the old plan) and lost weight.

Re: WW point plus...2 thoughts...

thanks!

Plenty of people use their 49 and still lose Remember, WW wouldn't give them to you if you couldn't use them

Re: WW point plus...2 thoughts...

I dip into my 49 pts slightly (maybe twice this week I took two points out) but I also have accrued 18 activity points.

I like to save the extra points for Sat/Sun when I am out and can't resist the delcious food!

I just started WW this week, but I'm dipping into the extra points only slightly. My goal is to try not to use too many of them, but I will use some on my "cheat day" after I weigh in.

Re: WW point plus...2 thoughts...

I use my extra points just about every week, from the old program and new program and I have managed to lose almost 75 pounds over the last 14 months. I will say that I typically have lost more weight on the weeks where I've only slightly dipped into the points as opposed to if I use all of them. But I would say I use 75% of my extra points just about every week.

i just started the new points plus program last week but i used about 3 of the 49 points each day and still lost 3.4 pounds! this week i've used about 9 and i weigh in on sunday.

thanks!
I am totally not going to touch activity points, leader said ignore them until we figure out my nursing points.

I guess the extra points is what makes it a lifestyle change, i don't have to run and hide on pizza night.

wow! 75 pounds! that's incredible!
I am so ready, this time is it. My last baby behind me, I will never see this number on the scale again.

Re: WW point plus...2 thoughts...

I use some of my extra points... depends what is out of the ordinary around me...... but always best to try and not use those points if you aren't deprived as it will help the weight loss move faster.

this time around I also started tracking, and feel like it really helps me to keep portions in check.

Re: WW point plus...2 thoughts...

I'm down 30 pounds and I use my extra points most weeks.

Re: WW point plus...2 thoughts...

I've never used the extra points in the past, but I can see how it'll be good to have them so I can use them for pizza on a friday or something like that.

Re: WW point plus...2 thoughts...

I don't plan on using those extra points unless I have a party or go out to dinner.
