I think the proof will be in the pudding so to speak - whether you lose or maintain (depending on what you want) on the new regime. I don't think you can really judge that after only a couple of weeks, so I am giving it some time to see.

I know when I did WW 20 years ago, you didn't count carrots and fruit was less restricted than it was on the momentum plan. So the new plan feels a lot more like the old - old plan.

This time of year is also an awfully tough time to judge a new program. Holiday parties and all.

One thing I am doing is using my APs if at all only on the day I use them. So I will zero them out that day and not carry over. I think that's more realistic in terms of what your body actually needs for exercise and recovery. It doesn't need it the next day. Really.

And you don't have to use all your points, I think. I would see how it goes. And remember, the points themselves are "smaller" so 29 is calorically equivalent to 18.
