Although I am only completing my 3rd week on WW, the new plan is great. I went under my points two days, was on target for 4 and ate 53 points one day. I still have flex points to spare.
I was told that a long time WWer did it this way because eating the same amount each day made her plateau. So, once a week, she ate alot and just stuck to the mid level of her range the rest of the week. In WW they call it the "wendy" plan.
Instead of the calculator, I joined at work and then on-line and calculate everything on that. It saves your meals for a very long time and does everything for you. On-line a 3 oz. chicken is 4 points than in the book which is 3. I did hear that bacon went up in last weeks meeting.
Someone said they cheated the program last week. HOw is that possible? You can't cheat on this program, unless you do not record what you eat!!!! But if you wanted something sinful, you could have it.
Today I was at the Mall and couldn't figure out what to have. I saw Subway and instead of getting the chicken salad or sub, I opted for the Tuna sub (what I wanted). I ate it, enjoyed it thoroughly, and marked that I ate 10 points. I came home and made a small mexican pizza.
This program is awesome.
