I have been on the WW diet since July time and have lost over 2st with another 1st to go. My start weight was 14st 4lbs and now i am 12st 3lbs and i have done all this from eating well below my points allowance. My points allowance is 29 points and soon to be 28 but the only times i go over this is when i go out clubbing and spend a 'guestimated' 30 points on alcohol and crappy foods. Most normal days though i total an average of 15. Which breaks down usually at 3 points breakfast, 4.5 lunch, 6 dinner and about 1.5 on snacks. I find this enough and feel bad the rare normal day that i have 20 points. From reading the posts on this thread i can see what is being said and i know i should eat my points, instead of saving this week a total of 74 points (and thats with 30 points in one day on alcohol). The problem is since i have started the diet i have lost weight week in week out and feel great, so my mind is telling me if eat 29 points a day i am surely going to put on the weight. I do exercise but not enough to make me feel that if i eat more i will be able to burn it off, going to the gym twice a week and playing squash on Sundays is my usual pattern for a week.
So from what i have read would it be right to say if i eat 25 points a day i would lose more weight? As i am happy with the 2lbs a week average i lose at the moment. Although some weeks where i have lost when i have had a 'bad week' for me should indicate that i can eat more than i am eating, right?
Sorry for the long post from a newbie, just wanted to see what others thought about a situation like mine, which i am sure a lot of people doing WW face.
