I get 9 more points than I used to on WW (partly because I've gained some weight, and you get more if you're heavier), and all kinds of things are point-free under the new rules. An orange! A banana! I fell about 9 points short of my daily allowance -- which you're not supposed to do, but honestly I wasn't any hungrier than that -- and of course didn't even dip into my weekly 49 bonus points.
So far, so good!

That's great, Katherine! You and I can compare notes now. You should really try to eat enough to make your daily points allowance, though. Those points don't carry over from day to day and are the minimum you need to stay energized. If you choose not to use your 49 extra weekly points, then that's okay. You probably will take off the weight faster.
I've found the new points system works well for me and love the points-free fruits. I can eat bananas and grapes now without worrying about adding points, and they really fill in the gaps wonderfully. I'm pleased that over the two-week holiday period I managed to gain less than a pound, and I had some pretty fattening meals! :P
The thing I have to work hardest on this year is getting more exercise. :-\

True, I know WW teachers in the past have always lectured us to "eat your points." But there are so many now! The amount I ate yesterday was my total daily allowance, last time I was in WW. It was really hard some days to stay within that limit, especially if I drank alcohol or went to a restaurant. So I'm really welcoming the extra points. And after this first ambitious burst I'll probably start consuming more of them.

Yes, that makes the biggest difference. I've always tried to eat three fruits a day. In the past, that meant three or more points. Now they're free!

For dinner, I roasted cauliflower:
Cut 1 head of cauliflower into florets. Toss with three or four cloves garlic, roughly chopped, the juice of half a lemon (or to taste), 1 1/2 T olive oil, salt, pepper and a dusting of smoky Paprika. Roast at 400 for about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 T grated Parmesan.
Yum! I had it with leftover prime rib, trimmed of fat and weighed on my kitchen scale.

Fat Smash Diet is working it's magic again! I'm back down to 220lbs after being on it for only 2 days. ;D 5 more pounds and I'll be back down to the weight I have listed in my personal ad. Truth in advertising and all that. :laugh:

Did just over an hour of walking on the treadmill this morning!
