Just joined WW and what is this Flexipoint--is this for real??

its basically extra points. you can use them all in one shot or you can use a little today and a few 2 days from now.

its like a bank of points that you dont have to save up.

b4 you could bank points if you wanted too, where here you are opening an account and you are given 35 extra points

i hope i explained it ok for you...

but be sure to hit your 20 points a day

Neen,

What they did was instead of saying we can have a range of points, they gave us a target (and therefore you can't do a 'high end of the range' day) and then gave you weekly bonus points.

That way if you want to go out on a Saturday night and have a high calorie dinner, you can use up the points for the day PLUS up to 35 points but you have to count what you did during hte week.

For example if you want to spread them out
20 points = your target
35 = flexpoints
if you divide it by 7 it's 5 extra points a day if you want to do it that way = 25 a day
or
if you want you can save the 35 for the weekend...so 20 pts + 15 flex points for Saturday and 20 pts + 20 pts for Sunday or maybe you know you're going bar hopping on a Saturday you can not use the flex points all week and just eat your 20 pts a day and use all of the 35 on that Saturday night for drinks. Or you can use some of the points or none of them, up to you.

It's a bit more flexible but in reality not really. I think they gave us more points overall but whatever, you don't have to take them if you don't want to but they're there if you need them.

I think its WW policy to change the plan every year...but when I joined in 1999 it was 18-25...with 20 min exercise manditory...then it went to 18-23 but you could earn 2 points by doing 20 min exercise...


so in the end..it all comes down to 25 points a day
20 + 5(35/7) =25

'six of one....half a dozen of another'
