I know a few of you a following the Wendy Plan and my question is, how do I spread my weekly points out in order to have high and low days? I want to make sure I'm not having too many points on one day and too few on another.
Pick any day for your Day 1. Then eat your points as follows:
Day 1: target +5 to 7 points
Day 2: Target + 1 point
Day 3: Target +15 to 20 points
Day 4: Target points only
Day 5: Target +4 to 5 points
Day 6: Target +2 points
Day 7: Target points only.
I tried it last week. I did OK for the week but I hated having to eat certain points each day. I did vary it a bit but kept the overall pattern. I usually eat heavier earlier in the week and lighter close to weigh in day. I think I'll back to my usual way.
Did you see a loss after trying the plan? I think that's what I'm scared of, showing a gain at my next meeting but I figured at this point, I have nothing to lose. If this doesn't work for me, I'm going back to the way I'm used to eating too.
ive done the wendie plan for the last two weeks and lost 2.8lbs the first week and 1.8lbs the second week....this is after plateauing + gaining for more than a month. I combine the wendie plan with calorie cycling which gives you two high days a week. Here are my points from the last two weeks (my WI is Tuesdays)
like koshka, i try to eat heavier right after my WI day and starting on Saturdays, keep my carb and sodium intake to a low low low amount. keyword is TRY, though lol.
www.wendie-plan.com gives you a set plan but i feel like it might be a little too many points for me. i want to keep at least 3 days of the week at 29 pts or below, especially on days i dont work out. so i kinda tweaked the plan to what i'm comfortable with just making sure not go go below 1300 calories/26 pts and making sure i get one high day (45-49 pts) and one semi-high day (40-45 pts)

Thanks for the tips on the Wendie plan---this is interesting. I really don't know much about calorie cycling, so I wonder if this will help me break my plateau
It's worth a try for breaking your plateau. If you're like me where you like structure and tend to stay within your points everyday, then the structure of the Wendie Plan might be just for you. I think it's great that uncontentgirl tweaked it to fit her situation. Afterall we're all individuals trying to figure out what will work for us. Here's the new website for calculating your Wendie Plan points for the Plus Points system: Wendie Plan
I've been doing the plan for 3 days and my scale is FINALLY in the 150's! 158.8 today =D Wednesday I consumed 36 points, yesterday 28, and today is 40.

Yes, I did. I lost 1 pound which is fairly typical for me.
The Wendy Plan - P+
