I lose more when I eat my flex points. I spread them out over the week. I occasionally eat my AP's (2 or so out of the 4)...as I may have mismeasured something or forgotton to write something down. Just to be on the safe side. Howeve, if I am hungary..I eat ALL my Ap's...lol! I lose on the average of .3-.5 lbs. more a week when I eat more. Go figure??..makes no sense...but true!
Good luck.

Tina - that does make sense It works differently for everyone....I don't always eat my 35 Flexpoints. I eat my minimum daily points and my exercise points but sometimes use my Flexpoints on the weekends for treats at the movies or a meal out. It seems to work

I rarely use more than 3-5 flex points on any given week. On Valentine's day, I used 29 flex points---29! That was some dinner out! And in the days that followed, my weight crept up slowly but surely. I did NOT even exhaust my weekly allowance of flex points, so it's pretty baffling that I had such an unpleasant 4-pound swing upwards. It took nearly 2 weeks of serious devotion to all things Weight Watchers to get back to my 2/13/05 weight.

I work to hit my daily allowance of points, spread out throughout the day. And I work out at least 3-4 times a week. But I don't take the activity points and eat them! My weight loss is above the average; it's about 1.8 pounds per week. I need to see the scale actually move to feel like I'm getting my rewards for living the new healthier way.
