We went to Outback last night for my sis' birthday and I didn't make healthy choices - but I knew that's how it was going to be going in. I've already taken away all of my flexpoints and had a good number of points for the day - but do you just sort of write it off and start over the next day - or do you try and take points away from the future days to 'make up' for it. Luckily, yesterday was the first day of the week so I had all the flex pts and until next Friday to get back on track - but I'm curious how you would 'count it' in this situation.
THanks!

Re: WW Ladies - Question about Overeating!!
Wipe away your flex points for the week - but keep eating your daily total. Regardless of how much crap you may have eaten, starving yourself (i.e. continuosly going under your daily points)all week won't make it better, in fact, it may make your body hold onto the weight.

I agree. Just try to stick with your daily points and try to exercise more this week. If you can do that, you may find that you did not do much damage at all. In any event, WW says you should never eat less than 20 pts a day, no matter what your weight, or your body will go into starvation mode and hold on to the pounds instead of losing.
I jsut re-read your post. I just write it off and stick with the daily pts, don't eat any activity pts. for the rest of the week and see what happens.

Re: WW Ladies - Question about Overeating!!
I cheat too, and what I do is take away my flex points for the rest of the week, but always keep the core points the same. Weight watchers even recommends not to go under the amount of points for your weight category. Usually I can do that and still have a net weight loss for the week.

I always make sure to eat my daily points, and I never use flex points!
