Nice! Like the new thread...so week 3 on Wendie, 5 of WW.
Last week, I had a gain due to stupid software conference food, but that's ok. I lost all of it this week. Looking at my old WW books, before Wendie was known, I would consistantly lose .5 - 1 lb a week. Not bad at all, but this seems to be kicking me in to overdrive.
I'm good with the planning, and usually have my SHD on weekends so I can have some fun. It's easy for me to plan at the office, because I just brown bag it.
Hey Wendy I have shared this with a lot of my family and friends. I am so glad that you helped me to get it going. I lost 4.2 lbs. the first week. I have been in a slump for a couple of weeks. I am waiting for it to kick in again. I have been doing a lot of exercise so I'm thinking that since muscle weighs more than fat; I must be building muscle and losing fat. I can see a difference in my body tone. I just want to see the scale numbers getting smaller. Great idea about this link.
Tomorrow will be the last day of my 5 weeks on the Wendy plan. I cheated pretty bad this week, so I gained a couple pounds back... but I'm losing it again! Despite the cheating, however, I have lost 8.2 lbs on the Wendy plan so far. Here is how I divided up my points:
Im going into my 3rd week on the Wendie Plan. After doing exactly 20 points a day for 2 weeks and having a total loss of only 1 lb (lost 1.4 lbs. the first week, gained .4 lbs the second week). I decided to try the WP. First weeks loss 1.4 lbs. Second weeks loss 1.6 lbs. I definatly think my body likes the WP, LOL! So I have tripled my weight loss on WP, and I am thrilled. Here is my WP schedule.
Hi everyone! I'm not yet on the Wendie Plan, I've been using flex since August 8th. So far all has been OK, but last week I had a dissappointing loss of 1 pound. I know, I know, a pound loss is good, but after my first 8-9 weeks, I was sad to see that #!! I just wanted to make sure I "get it" before I decide to jump on the Wendie Wagon!
In a nutshell, the way I understand it is this: Vary your points daily, making sure your super high day is a minimum of 3 days before weigh in. Other than that, the way you vary the points is personal choice? Does this very simplified version sound correct?
My weigh in is tomorrow (Saturday) and I'm anxious to see the results. I've not used many flex points in the last two months because I really haven't been hungry or needed them.....therefore, using so many of them makes me a bit nervous!!
This is Interesting ! When I stick to my points exactly I binge after 2-3 days, it just doesn't seem like enough food. I mean, 1000 calories give or take is just too low for me to go with long term. My results have been scanty so far at best!
This being Saturday, it's a good time to start. Monday is my weigh in. I printed my "20 Point" chart out in BIG letters and have it on my fridge. I'm willing to give this a try!
okay ladies~ is anyone else (who is in Week 1 of WP) getting nervous. My WI is Tues morning & I've got major butterflies. I just don't know what to think..... Logically I know it will be okay, but part of me is saying "You had some major points days" & is starting to freak a little. Anyone else feeling this way????
I'm with you Stacy; I weigh in right behind you on Wednesday morning... We'll see what the verdict is. The others have assured me to cut out the whining (I went on and on and on about it in another thread). I'm just chicken. But since then, I've been ok. Wednesday will tell. I've been exercising like a bandit. Good luck!! We'll be fine.
I am starting week 3 back OP and until I see a stop in losing OP I am going to stick to flex - however the second I start to plateau, it's the Wendie Plan for me! I can completely understand how it would work better. I'm just going to give my body another couple weeks to see what it does on flex.
Wendie Plan Followers...Come on Over!
I'm a WW Wendie Planner also (first wk).
