I dare say that since restarting under the new plan, I'm having a hard time eating all my minimum points for the day, since I *heart* fruit and munch on that inbetween meals now instead of the lil' 2pt snack bars or whatever. I agree that the number of calories in total seems to have gone up, but it's steering me towards better choices overall.

My weigh in is tomorrow, which will include one hearty holiday meal and a cyclocross race with associated beer, but all within allotted points. Very curious to see what happens, but am definitely going to give this about two months before I come to any solid conclusions.

-- gnat!
