Flex Points

[Guest guest]

Well, this is the end of my 2nd week on the new plan. The

first week I used 4.5 Flex points the first day, then 3.5,

1, 3.5, 2.5, 2.5 and 3.5 - for a total of 21 flex points (14

left over). This was basically the same as I had been doing

which was eating at the high-end of my range and eating my

AP's (under the old plan). I wound up with a maintenance

weigh-in.

The first six days of this week, I used 3.5 flex points

the first day, then 7, 7, 0, 0, 5 for a total of 22.5 so

far. Today, I'll proabably use 2 or 3, so I'll be at a

total of about 25 out of 35 flex points. If my home scale

is any indication, I'll have a pretty good loss tomorrow

morning at WW.

I can't attribute the new plan to either my maintain last

week or my hoped-for loss tomorrow - because I've been eating

about the same # of total points as under the old plan. This

week I've distributed the flex points a bit less consistently

then I did last week - don't know if that makes a difference?

I really don't think the new plan is that much different from

the old plan. The benefit to me is that you have a bank at the

start of the week so there's no need to build up a bank if you

know you've got an event or to " reverse bank " if you have an

event at the beginning of the week. The negative to me, is that

if you don't or can't impose some discipline on yourself, you have

a lot of flexibility that can actually hurt you (e.g. eating

all 35 flex points in the first two days of the week). I prefer

to distribute my flex points as evenly as possible and to have

10-14 flex points left over at week's end. This keeps me real

similar to the old plan .... while giving me the benefits of

the flex plan.

> I am wondering how everyone is doing with the new plan. Are you all

just eating your target points? Or are you using your flex points?

It seems to me we are having lots of losses here. Is the new plan

helping? How are the reports at your meetings?
