Has anyone had their points go up after losing? - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

(I'm an online member)

The last two weeks I've lost a bit over 2lbs each, so 5.4 total. Each week it has upped my points from 32 to 38 and then 32 to 37 this week. I keep adjusting it back down to 32 but has anyone else had this happen? I really don't think I need the extra points (I barely hit my goal each day and then I also eat all my weeklies and at least half my APs).

It did that to me when I lost over 3 lbs one week, but it gave me the warning that I was losing weight too quickly. Did you get a warning?

It happened to me after I hit uh 5% or 10% or something and I had to tell the thing that I wasn't on maintenance. I kept having to manually set my points every week. It was weird because when I checked the settings, it didn't say I was on maintenance. It said that my goal was losing weight. But when I logged into the site from my ipad, that's where I noticed it was saying I was maintenance. (But of course the site doesn't work too well on the ipad so I couldn't figure out how to fix it from there.)

I went onto the site on my comp, went to your plan, under the tabs there ("First steps" "Settling in" etc) I chose "Keeping it Off - Maintenance" then right under there it said Not in maintenance? Change your settings. And I was able to change it that way. Trying to change it from the settings without doing that did nothing. So weird.

Yeah I wondered if it maybe thought I was in maintenance and last week it didn't say so but I did hit my 10% (my second one) last week so... hmm. I'm going to go through my setting again and check.

ETA - yep. It had me set in maintenance. I guess it does that whenever you hit a goal in etools now. Annoying.

Same thing happened to me and I e-mailed WW. I had to go in and change my settings. They told me it set me to maintenance because after the weight I lost I was considered a healthy BMI.

It sets you to maintenance pretty easily these days. I set my goal weights as my mini-goals, so every time I hit a mini-goal I have to assure the program that I'm not on maintenance.
