Katluvr - If I remember correctly, you are already pretty small and probaby close to your goal weight, right? If so, then I would think that 0.5lb a week is totally fine. I mean, you aren't starving all the time, missing workouts, being a raving b1tch...right? They way I look at it is this - I'm not really suffering. I'm actually quite comfortable with my current intake and feel like I could do this for the long haul. I'm not feeling deprived, so I have time. I'm not going to sweat the small losses as long as they are losses. I'll get there eventually. I bet you will too!

In fact, I'm VERY curious to see my results this week. I had a couple of 'splurgy' days over the weekend and I'm using a LOT of points. In fact, if things continue the way they are, I will have eaten all my exercise points (I have them set to be used daily) and almost all my weekly points. Let's see how the scale reacts! Personally, I feel pretty damn good. I have lots of energy both for my workouts and for daily life...so if there is loss, I'll be very pleased.

Kirsten - I just do the online (no meetings anywhere near me anyway). For me, I just needed an easier way to be accountable. The last time I did WW, I was obsessing about points. This time, not at all. I think having higher targer numbers really makes a HUGE difference for me (mentally).
