points & weight loss question

O.K. I've been on WW for 4 days now. I have gone from 255 to 249 since
Saturday. Intake of 30 pts per day. However, this morning I weighed 249
which should drop my points to 28 per day. My question is should I stick
with my original 30 points for the rest of this week until my "official"
online weigh in next Monday or should I go ahead and drop to 28 points since
I know my weight is below the 250 limit (at least this morning. It will
probably be slightly above tonight.)
Thanks

I would wait. You never know how your weight behaves...

You'll drive yourself crazy going day to day with the scale. Use your
weekly weigh-ins for any points changes. I found that Wed. was my 'low'
day and I was usually 1lb higher on Sat. (my weigh-in day) so I gave up
weighing in daily and now jump on my home scale on Wed. only for a quick
estimae of how my week is going.

Welcome to WW and keep us informed of your progress!

The WW program is not an exact science so there is no need to worry or
precisely track the way to change points. Some folks even step down
one point for a few days before dropping the other point. So you
could do that now and then drop the other point later in the week.
You are doing well.

Or as Chris mentioned, worry about your official WI day and just feel
good if another unofficial WI (weigh in) shows a good result.

only change your points as you weigh weekly. Uses unofficial weight to
monitor progress but not to change points. Lee
