After 2 weeks, not sure how I feel about the program.
Old program, I had 18 points (the minimum allowable to anyone) while my sister, who outweighs me by 20 pounds, got 23. New program? We are both at the 29 minimum.
No wonder I feel like I"m getting soooooo much more food. Between the increased minimum, and the free fruit, I just don't think I will lose on this new plan if I eat all the points. I've decided to start quick-adding most fruits as 1 pt, bananas and very large pieces of fruit as 2, and keeping to 29 that way, even on light exercise days. The only days I'll go over 29 is on heavier exercise days.
(As an example, the other day I had 1:45 of intense exercise, which earned me 17 points, plus the daily 29 = 46 points. By the new cals, I ate 25 or 26, again because fruit is free and I had 4 pieces that day. And that "25 points" was plenty of food)
Anyone else feeling like the points are too high?
