I lost 40 lbs on WW last year. Then due to extended work travel/vacations/holidays, I quit for the last two months of the year and gained 15 lbs back. I just started the points plus this week, and I love it. Last autumn, I was struggling to get by on 19 pts a day and I found myself dipping into my weeklies on a daily basis instead of my normal method of saving them until the end of the week and having a treat meal out with friends. Almost everything I ate every day had to be "filling" or I wouldn't make it until the next meal time. That was a lot of pressure on every single thing I put in my mouth every time I did it.

Now I get 7 extra points to play with (my points of my typical day only went up by 3 from the oatmeal and random grain with dinner, everything else was already veggies, lean meats, fruits, milk, etc.) and I don't feel like I have to make a decision between an orange (which I would want) or a piece of cheese (which would keep me going until the next meal.) I can have have the orange, see if that works, and if not, have cheese in another hour because I have the extra points, and fruit is free.

Granted, it's only been 3 days, and the scale movement is most likely due to the cessation of junk food (and the un-retaining of water that goes with it) but mentally, it's a lot easier for me to follow.
