I try to underestimate my activity points a little by under reporting my speeds. Last friday, I did a 4.2 mile run from work that took me 48 minutes. I got 9 points for it because I keyed it in as "running<12min/mile". I did the exact same run yesterday in 46 minutes and I was definitely working harder but yet I only got 8 points for it. I know it's because I didn't have a different speed option to choose, but it just kind of illustrates how the activity points really need to be a guideline as opposed to a strict rule.

I also in a firm believer in eating your activity points when you do the activity (and not saving them up until the weekend or something), so I have mine set to be used first each day.
Yeah, I reported the faster speed, just because that's what I did and I like seeing how many points I can earn, but then I resolved to eat no more than the #I would have earned at the slower pace. and that is only if I'm REALLY hungry. and I only eat them on the day earned. I have yet to even touch any of the weekly points.
