Do you trade AP's daily or weekly?

  • So, I have 26 PP's thanks to the new program, and I really, really try not to eat weeklies (or else I lose nothing!). Out of curiosity, do you trade your AP's daily or weekly? Right now, I trade them weekly, so I can overeat a bit if I want, and still have a few days to work those PP's back. I'm starting to feel like if I trade them daily, I'll be more motivated to work out more.

    THOUGHTS???
  • I try not to eat my AP's because, like your weeklies, I don't really lose if I eat them. That being said, if I do eat them, I have a "use it or lose it" attitude on a daily basis.. I don't save them up for the week because big splurges tend to put me in binging behavior that might last for days, instead of the one day.
  • I thought it was use it or lose it with the AP's on a daily basis
  • I've seen others here mention saving them and/or weeklies up for bigger splurges.. I was just mentioning what works for me.
  • Ah gotcha, and like you big spluges for me tend to keep going so it is best that I avoid them all together
  • I use mine daily, and try not to use my weeklies. If I don't use my APs for the day, I usually don't use them later.
  • I use my APs on the day I earn them. Used to use weeklies first but it works better in my brain to use the APs before weeklies.
  • I use the APs on the day I earn them, too. I try to eat my APs and never really touch my weeklies, although that might change a bit now that I am down to 26 daily points.
  • HI, since starting I don't use my AP at all.. I do eat my weekly points. Last week I lost 3.6 lbs. I have been averaging at a 1.5-2 lb weight loss since starting at the end of July. If I was to start using my APs, I would use the day of..
  • I've gone back and forth on this.

    Currently I've set DP at 26, WP at 33 and set them to be used first and then I keep the AP as a reserve in case I go over on the WP. So I allow the AP to be used weekly (last week I used my 33 WP, a few of my AP while this week I expect to not even use all my WP).
  • I use them daily if I want to, but I usually use my WP instead of my AP. I like the idea of using them on the day I earn them, but I usually earn them and save them and use my WP instead.

    I definitely don't use AP I haven't yet earned.

    I used to start my week on Thursday and splurge over the weekend and use up all my WP and then be good for the rest of the week. Now I start on Monday and I must confess, it's really a lot more fun splurging on the weekend AFTER I've been good all week than it is splurging first and then having to be good to make up for it.
  • I use them weekly and I have it set to take AP first (I also lowered my weekly to 25). When I exercise during the week, I do it after work and I work until 9pm. So there's no way I could easily use them same day or else I'd be eating at, like, 10:30pm! And I don't want to overguess how many points I may earn later and be wrong

    So I generally save them for the weekend when I am more likely to go out to eat or my meals and meal times are less structured and predictable.
  • I have mine set up to use the AP before the WP. I don't use all my WP, well if I want to lose I don't. I'm so short and menapausal that if I get into the WP much I don't lose.

    I use them for the week. I try not to save up for a splurge because I have a hard time reigning myself back from splurges.
  • My leader has told us that our AP are reset weekly, so you can use them anytime during your usual "week" and that you use your AP before your weekly points.
