That really depends. Eating weekly points will slow weight loss. If you look at WW formula (check their patents) it is clear that they expect that eating weeklies result in a little less weight loss. It appears to make a difference of about 1/2 a pound. If you would normally lose 2 or 2 1/2 pounds a week and eat weeklies and lose 1/2 pounds less you may feel that tradeoff is well worth it particularly if it helps you stay on program.
For me, if I eat all my weeklies my weight loss becomes 1/4 to 1/2 of a pound a week whereas it is about 1 pound average if I don't eat most of them. I will eat some when I go out but mostly don't. (I can stay on program fine most of the time without using them).
