Thanks guys.
I still don't really know what to use the weeklys on. My meals are pretty substantial as it is and come the weekend i'll feel like im using them on junk - although this week I am actually heading out for a meal so im sure some will go on that. Usually i'd use them on 2 bottles of rose but i have given alcohol up for a while!

I use all 49 of mine and have lost every week. (and i tend to use them all on the same day for wine and yum food). The way i see it is that if each point is an average of 40cals (which it is) then 29 a day x 40 is 1160cals a day.
49 weekly points is approx 1960cals. Divide that by 7 days for the week is 280.
So 280 plus 1160 is 1440 a day.
To lose weight at 1-2lb a week most women need to eat around 1500 cals a day on average. So with a bit of fruit i come in at exactly around 1500 a day having used all my points.
Not using them would mean a diet of around 1200 a day which isnt much on an ongoing basis. i know i'd be more inclined to give up if i kept up a 1200 cal diet like i have in the past.
It does of course depend how much fruit you eat. But if you move more then the fruit should be cancelled out anyway.
I am a firm believer in using your points lol. if you dont eat them at the start then when you plateau later on theres no more points to drop. Im thinking of carrying on and if i get to a plateau after a couple of months then dropping the points to 40 and so on.
ive calculated im eating around exactly the same cals a week as when i was on the discover plan so for me aside from a bit more prortein and bit less carb it hasnt been a big change.
guess it depends on each persons circumstances/fruit intake/exercise/hunger/lust for wine

Yup i too used to use my points on wine but as ive given it up at the minute i felt like im just using the 49s on crap. This week i have a meal to use them on so i'm just curious to see if there is any difference.

I am afraid to use too many of mine. I am 5 days in and (provided I stick to my meal planner for today, might go up a pp or 2 yet), I have used 21.

Strange isnt it.
This is why i wanted to trial it myself. But sometimes ive got to stop myself having a bag of crisp and a chocolate bar just because I can - its not the mentality i want to adopt tbh.

Sneaky weigh in today. I dont usually do them but thought why not .... not looking good. I havnt been to the toilet for 4days so that might be a factor or yesterday i burnt almost 900cals running so it could be i'm not eating enough.
Getting this right is hard. Only monday will tell but got a birthday meal to go to tomorrow :sigh:

i just use the 49 weeklies on crisps, sweets, take aways! and it feels bad because although its apparently ok, on discovery im use to earning the right to have those things, saving from other days and AP etc! lol its messing with my mind!
good luck xxxSimilar threads
