So I was in my meeting last week and was talking to my leader about breaking my 6 week long plateau (ugh).
She suggested changing my points allowance a day to 26 from 29....
Do you guys think this is ok and I will still be able to fit in all my dailies?
Has anyone tried this technique?
Thanks! Any advice will help!
I don't think it would be a bad idea - try it out and see wha thappens.
I cycle my points. One day I'll have a high day (40) and the next day I'll have a low day (26), so on and so forth. I don't use my AP's, but I use all of my weeklies. I've found that if I have the same amount of points every day the program doesn't really work for me, but cycling does.
I also tend to eat more points on the days that I exercise more (I ran 9 miles on Sunday, so I had 50 points that day).
I think at your weight that is fine and you can get in your GHG. You will just need to watch it carefully. I wonder if when the tweaks to the program come out if they are going to lower the targeted daily points....
On my own, I started eating less...which in turn caused a reduction in points plus, technically. My leader asked me after the 1st week with a 3 pound loss "and what was successful this week" and I whispered to her "I counted calories, which was less points" and she asked how much less. I replied between 10 and 5 less, but 5 on average. She said to continue.....but asked me to promise not to go below 24 daily. They know some people are frustrated. With a wink and a nod, she "sanctioned" eating less PP.
when will the 'tweaks' be announced?
They usually come out with the new program in early December, but don't think it has been announced yet.
My leader told me when the new program comes out they will be lowering the points dependent on your weight!
