Re: Help! New FLEX POINT System?????

[Guest guest]

How FlexPoints Works

You are assigned a daily POINTS® Target based on your weight

Each week you have 35 FlexPoints to supplement your daily POINTS balance

Earn Activity POINTS and swap them into Food POINTS

Use FlexPoints to:

Eat the foods you love and still stay on track

Handle unexpected situations where your food choices are limited

Treat yourself occasionally during the week

Using your POINTS Tracker

No banking

New daily and weekly tally of your FlexPoints

ExpressTrack saves you the time of entering individual food and activity names

Using FlexPoints

Start each day with a daily POINTS® Target, based on your current weight. While sometimes you may go below your POINTS Target, try to eat at least 20 POINTS. When you do go above your POINTS Target, you can supplement by swapping Activity POINTS you earn that day, as well as by using your weekly reserve of 35 FlexPoints.

How to use the POINTS® Tracker

The POINTS Tracker (formerly the Journal) keeps track of how close you are to your POINTS Target, whether you’ve swapped any Activity POINTS, and how many of your 35 weekly FlexPoints you’ve used

FlexPoints week at a glance

The POINTS® Tracker weekly view allows you to view your progress throughout the week to see what works best for you. With FlexPoints, you can accommodate special occasions, limited choices and even treat yourself while taking advantage of your weekly reserve of 35 FlexPoints—and the POINTS Tracker makes it easier than ever.

Yup, you can use the 35 Flex Points...but there is no longer a range (for instance 22-26) but one point you have to reach. Using the flex points, five a day as you say, is pretty much what the old way was...just a new look I guess! Ok, like my limit is 20. If I exercise I can use those points ONLY THAT DAY. I can save my flex points and use them for a special occasion, or I can add them on daily. The first week I did not use my flex points...that really worked out better.

-- Re: Help! New FLEX POINT System?????

If you use the 35 point reserve do you have to somehow make up for it either by banking or gaining activity points ?? I don't understand how this system could work given the 1 2 3 points system. Does this mean that you can eat 35 additional points per week and STILL lose ?? That averages out to 5 points a day. In the 1 2 3 system I could maybe go over 5 points per week and still lose, not 35 ! I can't believe the old system was that far off or am I just not understanding...

thank you very much, Barb. This confirms the

information that I had previously received. I'm still

not sure I want to try the new program. It still

seems like a lot of points to me and I'm afraid I'll

gain if I switch. May be I'll try it " gradually " .

Thanks again!

You are most welcome! Weight Watchers is a great program but like everything else what works for one may not work for another. Good luck with whatever you do.

I've had great success with the 1-2-3 Program (down 45

pounds). I've been very lax over the summer and have

gained back 5 pounds (which I don't think is that bad

for as bad as I've been). Anyway, I'm back OP (1-2-3

Program) and it works just fine for me.

Good for you. 5 pounds isn't that bad. You will lose those in no time. It's funny how fast those pounds come back and how slow it is to lose them. Take care
