New Approach
15Jun2009 Filed under: Week 1 Author: mellyannI’m going to try a new approach. It’s very much like the Weight Watchers points system, but a little different.
I’m allowing myself 1400 calories per day. The breakdown is:
B: 400
L: 400
D: 400
S: 200
If I don’t eat all of the 400 calories for breakfast, I can carry the remaining over to lunch, and so forth. The 200 snack calories can be SAVED and carried over through the week. So conceivably, I can save 1400 snack calories if I only consume 1200 calories per day that week. I can use those 1400 calories for a splurge meal, ice cream, whatever. That’s an entire pint of Ben and Jerry’s, if I want! BUT I cannot eat them until I”ve saved them. Unlike Weight Watchers, where you can spend your flex points at the beginning of the week.
I’ll let you know how this approach works. It seems like it could be a life long way of eating, no?

Sounds like it might work! I’m on WW Points and it is working very well for me because I can eat whatever I want without depriving myself. I’ve lost 30 pounds so far. Don’t forget to eat more if you exercise. There for a while I was exercising like crazy and staying within my Points and not losing any weight because I wasn’t eating my activity points and I guess I was going into starvation mode. Once I started eating the activity points the weight started coming off again. Good luck!
