Wowee Laura. 2.5 lbs is a great loss this week. Sounds like you've done a lot of soul-searching to
find out why your weight loss had slowed and have come up with some good solutions. The willingness
and ability to be honest and then to take corrective action is the kind of commitment that will see
you through. Thanks for the great post.

Thanks Connie. It actually could have been 3.5lb but I did not catch the lowest weight on my
official WI day. The other modification that I made is I am also eating AP. I don't want to eat too
low for fear of stalling my already slugish metabolism. Eating out is part of my life so I have to
figure out how to do it right. I just wish that I had figured out the problem months ago.

Thanks PR. It also took looking at the Fast Track menu to realize that many of my "extra" daily
points were really snacks. My normal menu is around 20-22 points on days that I don't eat out. But I
was eating 4-6 extra "empty" points because I needed to hit my min target of 26. It gets worse if I
add in my extra 3 AP. Thats 7-9 points of junk each day. Then add on top of that the fact that I eat
out at least 2x per week. I was not "banking" points like I did last summer to cover these dinners.
Hence, the slow down in my weight loss. It may be that FlexPoints is not the right program for
people like me who eat out a lot. We need to bank points but that is not part of the program. 35
Flex points might not be enough cushion for some nor should we be forced into eating a min number of
points that might be used to cover other days.

Thanks Lesanne. Let's hope it works. I did blow it tonight at a friends house. She brought out these
huge chocolate chip cookies for us. I have no clue as to how many points they were. These cookies
must have been 6 inches in diameter. But they were soooo good.

Those kind of cookies use to be a once to twice a week staple. Now, maybe twice in more than a year
and when a hiking trip is planned. Resist at the bakery is what it takes. Now if they were at a
friend's house...... that would be harder
