Where are the "points"?
There is a brilliant app for androids. Its in the marketplace and free of charge and its called WW Diary. I dont bother using anything else than that for tracking. This site is great for support however.

Calories in v Calories out question
Hi Everyone!

I have a question.. I am desperately trying to shift the weight I have piled on through quitting smoking.

So I tried Atkins and it didnt work out.. I just love my carbs too much!

I have been following JUDDD but I have been really struggling with the down days. (you consume 500 cals on alternate days with your maintenance cals)

So I have just been trying to create the calorie deficit. I weigh 147 pounds and I am trying to get down to around 130 pounds which is where I was at before I quit smoking. The problem is, I seem to do really well during the week... Although my calorie deficit is all over the place, I am never going above 1500 cals for the day though (my maintenance cals are 1900)... AND I am not counting the fact I am hitting the gym for an hours intense cardio three times a week. The problem for me is the weekends... sigh.

I think there is something deep inside my concience that is telling myself that weekends are for treats, weekends are for take aways and having a night off cooking and weekends are for meeting up with friends for lattes and muffins.

However, my question is this. If my 'during the week calories' are low enough would it matter if I went a bit higher (over my maintenance cals) on the weekends... as long as my total weeks calories are a minimum of about 3500 calories deficit (to lose a pound) that would be ok would it? But how does it actually work? You have to create a 3500 deficit to lose a pound over a week... but when does your body add everything up and take away?.. do you know what I mean? So the loss will show on the scale... does it happen gradually over the week or is there no show on the scale and then 'oh my body is calculating my calories in calories out on Monday'

Hope this question makes sense!
