Ak, final SWWC, Maintenance wrong way !
Well dang, I gained .6. Not a great way to lose 5 from my top of range.
But I am still .4 under goal, so whatever. I know Why, I ate every point this week, just to see. Well now I know That is too much.... So I shall try to eat less flex this week. Lesanne (365)247/163.6/164 |

Thank you for taking the initiative to do this experiment. I have been too scared
to do it myself, but it does kind of confirm my suspicions ... too many points on the flexpoint system for maintainers. I've yet to figure out that *number* I need, no matter what I do I stay the same (which I guess is good). I don't know if I now have my metabolism totally screwed up from not eating enough. Regardless, you are doing a fantastic job of maintaining! That's what's important.

LOL, initiative my hind leg, it was stress from Ma being sick. !! I was
hungry all the time. No more of that, back to using about half the flex points and my own estimate of activity points instead of the one the online journal gives me. They gave me more, to say the least. "Joyce" wrote in message ... Thank you for taking the initiative to do this experiment.

Hi Lesanne...
First of all, congrats on maintenance. Secondly...you might want to give Flex more than a one week trial. (I initially decided to give it one month.) I did gain initially, but have been losing after the first week, at a better rate than on winning points. I'm now eating ALL Flex and approximately 50-55 APs a week. It took my body a while to get the message. (Weight loss had slowed/stalled/gained before starting Flex.) Each week, I've eaten a little more, and each week I've lost a little more. I'm sold on it now. I'm convinced I was starving myself before this. I think a lot of it depends on your level of exercise too. My sister gains if she eats the Flex, but she doesn't exercise. I exercise quite a bit every day, and I can eat them just fine, and still lose well. Of course, this is not maintenance, still trying to lose.

Sorry about the wee gain, Lesanne. Just like you, I tried to eat all my
points one week & found the same as you that I would gain. Wish you luck in figuring out what you can eat. Elaine K 331.4/194.2/179 Lesanne wrote: Well dang, I gained .6.

Actually Carol, on my scale I did lose about half a pound, but theirs said
up... I also exercise at a really high level, but I used to count my activity points using perceived exertion, my own little thing.. Like if I nearly killed myself for an hour, I counted it 4. Their journal will come up with 5 or 6 for the same thing. I was eating all that, plus my maintenance points (4 a day) plus all my flex points. I don't think I am going to do that again this week. You never know though, I eat when I am really starving and THAT was the problem last week, really starving. "Carol in NC" wrote in message ... Hi Lesanne... First of all, congrats on maintenance.
