I've...I think you and I have had identical weeks!! I've spent all week substituting my normal 'splurges' with broccoli, carrots & apples. But also like you, it's to recover from a bad weekend. As for the flex points, I was using mine in the beginning, but I found I was hardly losing anything when I did, so I stopped. Really, I think it's that not using my flex points allows me to be less exact during the week when I forget to weigh or log something, which is probably why I was hardly losing anything when I consciously used them before. Sounds a little insane, but I guess whatever works, right??!<BR/>Congrats on your week of excellence! I'm hoping mine pays off too.Adorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10143750733887951561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825171977250439280.post-8841725303006213092007-10-12T07:44:00.000-05:002007-10-12T07:44:00.000-05:00hey girl!! it sounds like you're making the right ...hey girl!! it sounds like you're making the right choices and you definitely should pat yourself on the back. the scale lies sometimes, i really think it does. as long as your clothes are feeling good, the weight will melt off. i try to drink more water when i feel like i'm maintaining. it helps.<BR/><BR/>i, should listen to my own advice though bc i've definitely fallen off the WW wagon. oops :( i'm so sick of this cycle. i do good for 2 weeks and then bad for 2 weeks and the lbs are not disappearing as quickly as they once were. so with sadness i have to report my xmas weighin is 139.0 - up one lb and definitely feeling it. my pants are tight, yuck!! oh well, all i can do is jump back on the bandwagon which i am doing today.<BR/><BR/>i usually (except for lately...blah) save all my flex points for the weekend. i usually eat one meal on saturday and one on sunday that is whatever i want, within moderation. it was working for me!<BR/><BR/>well, i hope you have a great weekend and that your weigh-in is better than mine!! :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409602430307800207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825171977250439280.post-54984402565259150942007-10-11T23:13:00.000-05:002007-10-11T23:13:00.000-05:00I usually eat all my flex points...and often even ...I usually eat all my flex points...and often even more.

So I almost always use all my APs, and I save my flex points for my weekly dinner out with one of my sons, and any high point dinners that my son or my husband cooks (2 or three nights per week). I have them pretty well trained by now not to fix anything too crazy, so usually end up leaving 10 to 15 flex points on the table by the end of the week. But I work out pretty consistently, I usually earn over 25 APs per week, which I do eat.sherijunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12256955399628922242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825171977250439280.post-91524669693781866972007-10-11T13:35:00.000-05:002007-10-11T13:35:00.000-05:00Hi Carolyn!

The change of scenery (from my basement) will be very motivating. I'm not doing WW, so I can't really weigh in on the flex points discussion, but I say if it works for you, then go for it! I'm in the zone, too :) It hasn't even really occurred to me to 'cheat'. I love when I can get focused! Have a great weekend sweetie!

Good for you!!!! <BR/><BR/>I always eat all my flex points. I always say I'm going to save them until such in such time, but I end up going over my points usually daily (more so when I work my 12hour shifts), and end up using 4 or more a day to cover it due to my late night snacking.Sonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000605607937488179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825171977250439280.post-76499308444133001402007-10-11T11:37:00.000-05:002007-10-11T11:37:00.000-05:00I usually use all my flex pts too, 20pts day doesn...I usually use all my flex pts too, 20pts day doesn't cut it for me!

I reset mine on Fridays and typically use 20-30 of them by the end of Sunday :) I'm a lot "better" about eating during the week, so this works well for me.

Sometimes not all of them - and in the past I would always use them to eat something horrible (like fast food, a bag of chips etc..) but now I just eat more of the healthy stuff (most of the time). For thanksgiving, I used it for trifle and some extra dressing, gravy etc... so for special weeks, if I am going out or something I save them up and use them in one shot - while still making relatively healthy choices.<BR/><BR/>And I've been losing quite well.... and being in the zone is fantastic. I don't want to jinx myself but I've been here for the past couple months and it's the best I've ever been!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04856667594694122377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825171977250439280.post-49078477218113406372007-10-11T09:41:00.000-05:002007-10-11T09:41:00.000-05:00I am loving it!

Yay!<BR/><BR/>I have always eaten every single point ever available to me. There's no friggin way I'm letting them go to waste! Part of my reasoning is to do everything I can to make maitenance a little easier. If you always eat them up and still lose, your body is used to a certain intake of calories, which will make it easier to maintain while eating more when you're at goal. That's my reasoning anyway!Angela Powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559024896322851660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4825171977250439280.post-67722982802121904332007-10-11T09:37:00.000-05:002007-10-11T09:37:00.000-05:00I always use my flex points.

The only time I don't use as many is when I'm earning activity points. If I eat activity points, I try not to use flex points. Ah, the games we play, eh?<BR/>Meanwhile - so happy to read that you've found your zone.....I feel like I'm close to mine...Fatinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070940470440385585noreply@blogger.com
