Anna's Results Week 4 and the New Points Plus Program.

It seems that every week I gain back half of what I've lost in the first part of the week over the weekend.  I weigh myself almost every morning so I'm looking pretty good by Friday, then on Monday some of it comes back.  That's ok though I guess, it's all part of the week and this week I lost 2 pounds.  Slow and steady wins the race.  I've been back on WW for a month and I have lost 6 pounds.  I could do better but I'm still hoping that by the end of the school year (8 weeks from now!) I will have lost my targeted 15 pounds, so 9 more in 8 weeks???  Yeah, I can do that but there is a certain weight that I can't seem to go lower than (at least in the past) and I am 4 pounds away from that, so if I can break past that barrier I'll be pretty excited. 

I am starting the new Points Plus program with WW this week with some hesitation.  I am only doing it because my phone app won't let me use the old calculator anymore.  It looks like a smarter program because it includes carbs and protein in addition to fiber and fat without using calories at all.  Fruits and veggies are all FREE. The way the new calculator works makes meats worth a little bit less and a lot of packaged WW products like their yogurt, cookies and ice cream bars will cost more points.  Fiber one bars used to be 2 points and are now 4 because of so many carbs. The new system also allows more points in a day and in a week (everyone gets 49 flex points per week now) so it all seems to balance out to me.  My only hang up is I'm not totally positive how many points per week.  I have the thing on my app to figure it out but the last question to determine my points for the week just says to enter my "adjustment" which they give as examples: 3 or -2 but I don't know what that means so I just put 0.  I hope its right cuz if I operate under an incorrect assumption I might gain!  I get Anyhoo, I'm going to try it.

I don't know how you would do this without the calculators and formulas because I have it on my phone.  If you have sliders or other calculators for the old program I guess I would stick with that until the program gets more widespread and more people put info online.
