35 weekly flex points

Are you supposed to use them all? Or are they just extra incase you need them?

i really think you ought to use all of your daily points!!!! the rough formula used by ww is 1 point = 50 calories. so 20 points buys you 1,000 calories a day, which is really not much to begin with. any less than that, and your body will begin to think that it's starving, and your weight loss in the long run will actually be less.

the program is designed so that you can use all your flex points and still lose weight. say you split them up to 5 a day. that still only puts you at about 1,250 calories a day. though i don't know your weight, i can guarantee you that your resting metabolic rate is more than this - so you will be in a calorie deficit even if you eat the flex points. throw in your normal daily activity, and you will be in even more of a deficit.

ok, i'll stop talking now

your daily allowance is based on how much you weigh. the 35 flex points apply to everyone.

you get more points if you weigh more, because you require more calories. as you lose weight, you may move down to a lower daily points category.

ETA: congrats on signing up!!! i find that the meetings are super helpful for motivation.
