Question about the Wendie Plan
 
Hi everyone! I just completed my first week at WW! I lost 5.4 lbs which I know is not to be expected in the coming weeks, but I am still very excited.

I just had a question about the Wendie plan. The "high-point" day freaks me out a little, to be honest! Currently, I am trying not to use those extra 35 flex points (is that wrong)? Also, should I implement the Wendie plan NOW, or when my weight starts to plateau and the numbers aren't coming off the scale? Thank you so much for your help in advance! :)

Hi, I dont know much about the Wendie Plan but I personally lose more weight if I use all or most of my 35 flex points.
Last week, I used all of them and lost 1.8....
Congrats on your 5.4 loss!! :bravo:

Congrats on your 1.8 and thanks for the advice! if you don't mind me asking, how long have you been using WW? I know the first two weeks you lose more than usual, and I'm just getting nervous for the week where I lose a half pound or less! I want to lose at least 1 pound a week (preferably two) and I want to keep that pleateau AWAY! Maybe I should start using those flex points...

Do you use them all one one day/meal as a splurge, or do you use a little here and there? Thanks, and congrats, again! :)

Hi again!!
I have been on WW since Feb, its been a slow weight loss but I read that is when you tend to keep it off more.
I spread my 35 flex points thru out the week, not all on one day. If I am hungry, and used up all my points, I'll eat something and use my flex points.

Been on WW since April - lost 48 lbs so far with 64 more to go. Haven't really hit a plateau yet, but probably will. When I do, I am going to go into a maintenance mode and try to keep myself at a plateau and then re-energize myself after so long. I don't want to fight my body or stress out for my losses and if my body wants to stay at a certain weight for a while, I am ok with that. It doesn't mean that I am giving up on losing weight, it just means that I understand that this is a process that I have or will go through that is temporary. Besides, I look at it as good practice for when I finally attain my goal and need to maintain then. :)

About the 35 flex points - It depends on my week. I usually end up using them when we go out to dinner on Saturday to our favorite Mexican restaurant. I use all of my extra 35 points each week. :) I still lose 1-2 lbs so why not?

The Wendie Plan - I think it is a good way to break out of a rut. There are a few people here who have used it and it has worked for them. Read up on the thread, I think it is a sticky. :)

I haven't figured out the 35 points yet either, but wow congrats on your 5lb loss!
