Nataliie   10 #26 Posted January 9, 2011 It works, but you'll be counting points for the rest of your life... I don't think it's sustainable. I don't know anyone who's done it and thought it was good long term. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
indiechick   10 #27 Posted January 9, 2011 what is the pro points system? I don't actually go to the meetings so i haven. Got the updated file x  They have completely changed the points system  You know get a daily allowance, and an extra weekly allowance which you an spread out over the week, use on one night or whatever.  Almost all foods now have different points values, mainly higher than before, but you get a greater points allowance. The points are now worked out on protein, fibre, fat etc and not just sat fat and calories. Fruit is now free too!  It seems to be working for most people. Might be worth getting a new file if you can? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I don't know anyone who's done it and thought it was good long term.  A lady at my meeting has maintained her weight loss for 10 years. It is about changing eating habits for life, once you get used to the correct portion sizes you should be ok. If you go back to your old eating habits it won't be any good long term.

I didnt 'count' points at all over christmas and still lost weight. Its because I have retrained myself with portion sizes, if I have a treat balancing it out etc So it is essentially the same thing as cutting down etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Rensh   10 #34 Posted January 10, 2011 Bet you all stop doing your diets by March. And then pile all your weight back on plus a little extra  The classic yo yo diet  And people wonder why others struggle to diet when they have people like you posting comments like that.  You ought to be removed from the forums for such insensitivity! I've struggled with dieting in the past and unless you have had to diet or do diet you don't know how hard it can be. So to come on here and post such comments isn't even justifiable!.  Why do people post comments that don't help in any way other than to amuse themselves?.
