I am SO glad you started this thread.
I have been on WW since Jan, doing the online program. I hit a plateau from May-July and started cycling because it was more fun than being in a gym. In July I was riding once or twice a week, for less than 10 miles. Now I am riding 50-100 miles a week and I have the same questions. I am ravenous some days and don't know how many points to be eating because after all, I am still trying to lose weight, but I want to be sure I have enough fuel for riding. I also don't want to be sending my body the message that it's starving and should lower my metabolism.
I never used to eat all my weekly points, because it seemed like I would gain weight on that. Now I am using some of them, but not tapping in to the activity points.
I am still never sure how many activity points to count either. I'd really like to know how other people do this. A lot of my rides have uphill on the way out and downhill on the way back. I'm definitely in the intense activity on sections of the uphill, but still keep working on the downill. So I've been recording part of the time as "moderate" activity and part of the time as "high" activity.
It is helping a lot, by the way- I've lost 7.5 pounds since mid-July.
Thanks - hope you all have some ideas.
Sharon
