Ok, how does the activity points work exactly? I started today so I had 35 pts... I used 4 pts at lunch. But I exercised for 60 minutes and gained 7 pts.. So does that leave me with 38 pts? That seems too easy.. Anyways it also seems like I eat more than other people. I eat "real" meals! Am I doing this right?
You can post your daily menus on a thread on this board just to double check but if you are eating the core foods, that's the plan. Just make sure you are using portion control and stopping when you begin to feel full. For instance, last night for dinner I had salad w/ff dressing/stuffed bell pepper/brown rice/milk. When I fixed my plate I just automatically reached for the 1/2 cup scoop for my rice. I didn't measure the salad dressing or the milk. I could not finish the bell pepper. I was full so I stopped eating. That is the secret to making this plan work. I also did not eat an evening snack. Just wasn't hungry.
Remember you don't have to eat your activity points. They are there if you need them but if not, they will just help speed your weight loss.

Remember with Core just like Flex APs are eaten on the day earned and do not carry over day to day. And again because of that you use them first instead of the WPA (formerly know as FPs).
Jaymi! You sound like you are getting this down! Kelly, Jaymi never did any other versions of ww, this is her first time and yesterday was her first day so it's all new to her! But you are right about the AP's... the the old use them or lose them scenario... if you earn them today, eat them today because you don't get to save them. Thanks!
Thanks Spryng, Kelly, Janette, & Amarantha! I didn't know that I better lose them or use them... but now I do! So that makes a big difference! Thanks again!
Hi, guys! Re the APs carrying over ... on the online and at-home plans, they do carry over for the whole week, IMO. They drop off at the end of the week and you start fresh with 35 points ... thanks for the info, though. I'm going to double check that. I don't do meetings so don't know how that version of the plan is done.
see I heard that too but since I don't do online I couldn't see it for myself... any one know what their leaders say about AP's carrying over?? I do At Home so I don't get that extra info
Ok I checked on ww.com and they all agree you can't save your ap pts... you must use them the day you earn them.. the online just hasn't been tailored for that yet.
Well, we differ! There's nothing in the plan that says you can't save your APs for the week, IMO! But we all have different opinions and that's what makes the world interesting. Have a great day, everyone!
I believe looking at the online it states APs are earned and used on the same day with both Programs. When I go in this afternoon to my meeting I am asking for the Activity materials.
Edited Wednesday a.m.: Yea, Kelly, you are RIGHT! I decided this a.m. to switch to Flex and finally found this statement: "You will start each day with a specified POINTS Target, based on your current weight. In addition to your POINTS Target, you can also use any Activity POINTS values you’ve earned within that day as well as any amount of your remaining weekly POINTS Allowance."
So there ya have it, Corettes! On Flex, at least, you ARE supposed to use the APs on the day earned and I was wrong about that! I'm happy to find the answer!!!!
As stated, I'm switching to Flex for awhile, so enjoy Core! Good luck to all!
