Has anyone tried this plan? I've been to the website, but not sure about starting it. Something in the back of my mind is telling me to do it... but I would like to get some input from other people before I do.. Thanks to all!!

That sounds really interesting...It's been a long time since I have lost anything I am thinking of giving it a try...hmmm... I will have to research it more...

Sounds interesting - I have found sometimes when I overeat I lose more - wonder if we are just putting out bodies too low that they do go into starvation???

Let me know how it works . . . I am almost finished with my second week on program.

I'm trying something similar last week and this week. As much as it surprised people at my meeting when I said it, I have a hard time getting all my points in, never mind flexpoints. I usually only touch the flexpoints if I go out to eat.

So last week I made sure I did my target and tried to get some flexpoints in. I also did low impact aerobics 4 days last week, rather than get on my Healthrider for 20 minutes. I would have done more, but pulled a muscle and took a couple of days off to let it rest.

Well, this past weigh in yesterday I only lost .2 which was a disappointment, but also something I know is going to take time, in that you won't see a difference in just one week, especially with getting a more rigorous workout.

So this week I'm trying to add in more flexpoints. I've also gone back to my week one booklet and trying to make sure that I get more protein in as well. I'm terrible with milk (other than cheese!) so I got the WW smoothie mix to see if I can get my milk in that way.

We'll see how it goes next weigh in... I'll let you know!

Well, anyone trying this??? I have completed my first week on the Wendie Plan. It's hard to keep track the points for each day, but it's nice because I know tomorrow I get to eat something really good because of the of it being my super high point day. I have lost only 1 pound but have lost 4 inches since last week. And even the receptionist at work commented on me looking thinner!!! I will always take that comment anytime!

Hey Everyone,
I am new to the 3FC board but I have been on Weight Watchers (on my own) since Jan. 5th, 2004 and had lost about 14 pounds as of 3 weeks ago - then nothing! I was exercising, journaling, drinking my water and I was just at a standstill. Nothing changed except I did go up one week by a pound. I began to get frustrated. Last week was Spring Break for our Home school and I was really good from Saturday until Tuesday and then we went home to visit my folks from Wed - Sat and while I was there I wasn't on points very strict at all. Well, I was just kind of at a lull in losing and got depressed and overate a little. When I returned home I determined that I wasn't going to let this beat me and so I got right back on points strictly. Well, when I weighed on Monday morning I expected the worst - but you wouldn't believe it, I had not gained one ounce. Well, I began to think - I had been really strict on the plan for weeks without any loss and then when I went pretty much off points for 3 days I stayed the same and when I weighed Tuesday monring after being back on Points for 2 days i was down 1.5 pounds. Well, I remembered seeing the Wendie plan somewhere before and when I looked it up I realized that is what I had been doing - and since I have been on it this week I have gone from 216 on Monday morning to 213.5 this morning. The only explanation is the Wendie plan because I am even having my cycle this week and I usually go up on that week of the month. I know this is lengthy but I just wanted to share what has happened and tell you to try the plan - it obviously works. I know I will continue it. I also walk at least 30 mins 5 days a week. If anyone else has had success with this please write me and let me hear your encouragement.

Surfin' the web for solutions to this plateau I've been on for a while; the regular WW is not working! Hit upon the Wendie Plan and I too am definitely giving it a try! Shaking things up is exactly what I want to do. I was going to go to a personal trainer at my gym to shake up my exercise plan as well, and I'm still going to do that, but I'm very optimistic about trying Wendie. I have two questions: can you still use activity points? I read in the general letter from Wendie that she doesn't, but I have to! I'll never make it to the gym without that motivation. Also, since I decided to time my very high day for brunch on Sundays with my husband, my very low days will be gym days. Is that really bad? I have 10 pounds to go and right now I'd be REALLY happy with five. Let's support each other with this! I think it's going to help.
