Hey all!

I figured out that you should always eat all of your daily points, even when you're sick. So I decided to change the question... hope that's allowed.

I was just wondering what it was like for you guys to go down in points as your weight decreased. Was it difficult?

I do try to eat my points when I am sick. It is usually with beveridges though. I don't worry about the 8 Great Health Guidelines when I am sick.

I actually only dropped points once during my weight loss efforts. I stated at 24 because I was still losing at 24 even at 149 pounds. This does not work for everyone but my leader said two things 1) if you are still losing at the higher Target Point stay there until you stop losing and 2) the more points you use while losing the more you'll have at maintenance and the less chance you'll feel like you are dieting to maintain.

When you're sick, you're sick. I had a bad virus a month ago and I spent about three days not eating more than 13 points or so. It seemed to balance out and I was alright. When I felt better I just went right back to eating my normal amount of points. It didn't seem to hurt me any.

I hope you feel better!
