Ok, I have searched, I have read all the WW Flex materials and I have read the Wendie plan info and the plateau busting info here. If this question has been answered (and I am sure it has) can someone point me to the thread?
WW official Flex material is sketchy...it sorta sounds like you should consume all 35 weekly points per week as well as meeting your daily point target. However, I have not seen where it comes right out and says so directly.
I have been using almost all, or all of my 35 per week. So far I have had a 3 lb loss the first week and then 1.5 lb every week after that. I know that I should stick with what is working for my body, however, if I reach a slow down point, what is the recommended answer? What is the official WW position even?
I have noticed that folks on the WW website boards seem to feel very guilty when they go over their daily points target. But folks here at 3FC have a more flexible "do what works for you" approach. My attitude thus far has been that if this is something I am going to persist in for the long haul (life) it has to be workable and a lifestyle I can maintain, and if I am too hungry on any given day day I eat more. Or if I just cannot say no to a glass of wine (4-6 oz only) then I have one. Etc. At the end of the week I have used 32-35 of the flex point extras.
Thoughts? Advice? Point me to some printed material on this?
Thanks very much in advance!
