Hi there Nancy,
I thought that if I can offer some insight on the plateau/activity points ... this info was like pulling teeth from my leader (when I attended meetings) - but finally she told me this info & I did see results when I worked the plan
** when Weight Watchers designed the points plan & encouraged exercising, it was intended for people who were not previously physically active & therefore activity would considered to be at low-moderate **
** they did not anticipate for people to be "exercising" more than 4 pts/day (& that's why it says in the WW books something like "you can choose to use or not to use your activity points") **
* it is not advisable to leave more than 3 or 4 pts remaining at the end of each day (if you exercised, then log those pts, use all or some if you need to achieve either a zero pts balance or 3-4pts) *
- there is a method to the points calculation madness - do not fall into the trap of "if I don't eat all my points ie. 8 remaining at the end of the day I'll lose more weight" b/c your body will not consume enough calories & will go into starvation mode.
so if your total daily AP is for example = 6 (workout= 4 + 45min walk = 2), try to use up at least 2 of those points (easily 1cup of skim milk, a svg of cheese, or some a Skinny Cow ice cream)
Stick with it!! You Go Girl!!
