    I'm on ww online. As far as what I eat, when I started ww back in January, I used alot of the artificial stuff, and lost 20lbs. (Frozen dinners, sweetners, stuff I'm not used to eating) all in an attempt to stay on point. It worked.

    After taking a couple months off due to some major life changes, (divorce, major move) I'm back watching my weight again. I'm a vegetarian who maes almost everything from scratch (I love to cook, and avoid processed food. That's why I feel my original foray into ww was such a departure from what I'm used to.)

    So here I am, back on ww, and struggling with the points. They just seem awfully low and while I'm eating whole foods and reasonable portions, I can't stay where I'm supposed to. I prefer to save APs for the weekend, so I don't like to use them durring the week.

    Maybe I'm just bored with the whole thing and need to try something new.

    Are you using your 35 weekly points? They're there for a reason! I get 21 points also and usually manage to stay within points but I use most of my weeklies and APs I earn (usually 25-35/week).

    I save them. Okay, so I used to use to use some of my AP daily. It worked out well, because I specifically excersized every day to have APs to use. Then I'd save my 35 + APs from my long Saturday ride to have some treats on the weekend.

    With the new set up, I'm afraid to use any points, because I want them there for the weekend. I quess I don't know how many points to budget in every day, and still go a little nuts on Saturday night (I hope I'm making sense).

    I'm confused. What do you "go nuts on" on Saturday night?
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
