Default The Wendie Plan -- just for breaking plateaus, or...?

I've been reading about this "Wendie Plan" over the past couple of days, and I've been considering trying it, just to shake things up a bit. Mind you, I've only had two weeks when I didn't have a loss (I stayed exactly the same) but part of me wonders if my weight loss might be boosted by trying this plan. And frankly, there are some days when I feel like 29 points just isn't enough.

What I'm wondering, though, is whether the Wendie Plan is just something you go to when you're experiencing a plateau, or if it's something that can be done from time to time no matter how well you're doing. I know it's *probably* the latter, but I wanted to check just in case.

I used to do this and had success with it - as long as you're completely able to get back to the lower amount on the day or so after a high-calorie day. I just had trouble with regrouping sometimes, but I still tend to do that on ww myself now - I have 1 or 2 high days, 1 or 2 low days and mid-range the others, just because of how life turns out those days.

I relate it to the "olden days" when if you worked hard that day on the farm, you probably ate a lot more than if you didn't ... and schedule my activity accordingly. I don't plan an 8-mile hike on a day that I'm planning to stick to the bare minimums.

When I went on it a couple years ago, it was to beat the plateau. But once I was on it I loved it so much that I just stuck with it until I reached goal. I find it much less boring than having the same points everyday. Here's a wendie plan calculator Wendie Plan
