Hi. I just found this site and am completely in love with it. There is so much helpful information.

I've been doing WW off and on for a good six months. My metabolism is shot and even with following the plan and exercise I've gain ten more pounds. It's so bad that my doctor tested my thyroid positive that it was messed up...however it's not...I'm just chubby Anyway...I remembered in the past the Wendy plan and how it helped so many get a kick start. I googled it and found this awesome site. I saw someone said the details to the plan where in a sticky in this forum but I can't find it. Can anyone help me find it or lay it out for me?

Thanks!

So, I wonder how you would do Wendie on points+

[nicoledg]

I've been a little stuck lately so I'm going to try this...modified to fit me though.

Here's what next week will look like for me,

I weigh in Sat morning, and my daily points allowance is 37

Sat - 52
Sun - 37
Mon - 38
Tues - 42
Wed - 39
Thurs - 41
Fri - 37

in total I'll eat 286 points, I used to eat all my dailies and weeklies, which would total 308. So we'll see if this works. I made my super high day the day I weigh in since it's Sat and that's the day I treat myself, movie popcorn/ice cream etc...

Let me know how it goes.

I'm going to try this. I have been typically eating about 11 to 15 Activity POints a week (I do them rather than weekly points). I think I'll modify the eating schedule to vary it more so will eat about 20 during the week (I also think I will move to taking them from WP and not from AP).

At 29 points, weighing in on Saturday morning, I'll try:

Sat - 39
Sun - 29
Mon - 33
Tues - 31
Wed - 29
Thur - 32
Fri - 30

I'm not going to be rigid about it however. That is, if I'm truly satisfied and not hungry I'm not going to make myself eat. Likewise, if I need to go out and it is hard to keep Wednesday at 29 points I won't stress if I eat a few more. However, in general, I will try to keep to this during the next week and see if it makes a difference.

I think I'm also going to give The Wendy Plan a shot too! It seems I am now stuck and I think my body has become a little too comfortable lately. Hopefully this works because I'm starting to get frustrated!

I've bookmarked this thread for future reference, right now PP is working great for me but I'll definitely give this a try if I hit a plateau.

The one I've been doing this week is this:
Day 1: DPT + 5-7
Day 2: DPT + 1
Day 3: DPT + 15-20
Day 4: DPT
Day 5: DPT + 4-5
Day 6: DPT + 2
Day 7: DPT

I found this on the WW forums. You still have about 15 of your weekly points if you follow it this way just in case you need that buffer. I actually upped it a few days and have gone through all of my weeklies and into my APs.

I did a version of this (my own invention) last summer and had great results. I weigh in on Thursday and use 1/2 to 2/3 of my weeklies over the weekend. Then I'm good during the week and stick to my numbers. I lost 2 lbs a week average until I quit losing last October. I'm doing that same plan again now with great results. (I gained a few pounds over the winter - I'm an outdoors fitness person so the winter was much harder than I anticipated.)

After plateauing for WEEKS, I tried this (I also calorie count and worked the Wendie plan in with calorie cycling) last week.

After only allowing myself no more than 1200 calories a day for MONTHS and averaging about 26-28pts a day, I was stuck between 172.2-174 for WEEKS reaching a high of 174.4 at last week's WI. I decided that I needed to eat a little more and try out this wendie plan + calorie cycling. For my size, low calorie target is 1368/high is 1650 as per my daily calorie needs. Here is what I did:

Tuesday : 1642 (worked out burned 400) net 1242 calories/34 pts
Wed: 1349 (worked out burned 400) net 949 calories/26 pts
Thursday: 1368 calories/22 pts
Friday: 1525 (worked out burned 500) net 1025 calories/29 pts.
Saturday: 909 calories (i was very sick on Saturday)/23 pts.
Sunday: 1355 calories/29 pts.
Monday: 1648 calories/40 pts.

Weighed in this morning and am down -2.9lbs! After not losing for WEEKS.

From what I see on the site that was linked higher in this thread...the Wendie Plan is based on the old WW program, not Points Plus. Would it be any different for a person using Points Plus?

[Spooky]

I found one for Points Plus over on the WW board. It's a few posts back in this thread.

I've been wondering about this too. I used to do the Wendie Plan a couple years ago with the other point system. Yesterday I discovered a Wendie Plan calculator that uses the new PointsPlus system. I haven't tried it yet but it looks good!
