I just noticed that a lot of posts lately have people asking why they are not losing weight, and they describe what they are doing, and it turns out they are not eating the 35 flex points each week.
I guess it's because the WW program makes it seem like those are "bonus" or "cheat" points, so people feel like they are being especially good if they don't eat them.
I did the same thing for a couple of weeks, and I plateauxed, and my leader stressed the importance of eating them to provide my body with the energy it needed to stay out of "starvation" mode. The program is set up to encourage us to eat enough every day, without being bound to eating the same amount every day.
So, I just want to encourage everyone to eat your flex points!!!!
