For those on WW

2 questions:
Do you give yourself extra points for working out? I feel like doing this is counter productive.

Also anyone not use their flex points or at least not use all of it each week? Do you think this is giving you faster/better results?

TIA!!

Re: For those on WW

I'm on WW. I don't usually use the activity points I earn...but I do use my flex points. It's so hard for me not to, especially on the weekends. I've found my best weeks are the ones where I drink tons of water and write down every single thing I eat. 'If you bite it, write it' is a great motto! Last week I lost 3 lbs. and the only thing I did differently was write down every single thing I ate...and I mean everything!

When it did it, it depended on the activity - if I took a 90 minute dance class, I used the points that I earned because I needed them. But for 30 minute work outs, I didn't bother using extra points.

I don't think it's counter productive because you only get 1 point really per 30 minutes, which equates to about 60 calories. You definitely should burning more than 60 calories in those 30 minutes.
So you are in the plus!!

Re: For those on WW

WHEN I DID THIS HARD CORE OVER THE SUMMER I WORKED OUT EVERYDAY AND I EARNED 9 ACTIVITY POINTS.

i USED THEM AND I STILL LOST 15LBS.
I STRAYED FROM THE WW DIET FOR NOW BUT I AM STILL MINTAINING MY NEW WEIGHT ONCE XMAS IS OVER I AM GOING BACK TO WW HARDCORE

MY FH IS DOING IT TOO AND HE USED HIS ACTIVITY POINTS AND STILL LOST 30LBS

BUT EVERYONE METABOLISM IS DIFFERENT BUT IF YOU ARE WORKING OUT YOUR BODY NEEDS MORE FOOD TO WORK SO YOU PROB SHOULD EAT YOUR ACTIVITY POINTS

eta HOWEVER WE DID USE OUR FLEX POINT WE SAVED THEM SO WE CAN HAVE A GOOD MEAL OVER NTHE WEEKEND

Thanks for the tips ladies!! Its so hard not to go over flex points during the holidays though. Everywhere I turn at work theres a gift basket or people keep handing me chocolate! which is my weakness.

Definitely have to get back to it hardcore after the holidays!

Re: For those on WW

When I did it I felt that my points range gave me quite bit to eat. So I did not give extra for exercise.

I usually used flex points when I ate out, b/c so much restaurant food is a lot of points.

But I didn't lose. I want to try again, maybe use no flex!
