Question

Does anyone feel like your cheating when you use your weeklies? I want a bagel on certain days and use those extra points, but I’m scared of not losing?  

Answer 1

They are there to use without feeling guilty

Comments

@doorway819 I agree. Not something to regret. They are there to use. When I attended meetings some people would go on about this or that re points to the point I’d leave the meeting feeling down. I do on line now and in a way feel better, because I’m not hearing things that upset me.  

---

@yatzeck I’m sorry your meetings are so negative. I receive so much support at mine.

@doorway819 when I went to meetings everyone wasn’t overbearing. It was just a couple people. Maybe they were insecure about themselves and their journey, but it’s in the past. I am not able to attend anymore so that is why I do the online.  

Answer 2

Weeklies are built in for a reason. This program is not designed to try and make you guilty about anything you eat as long as you have the points to eat it. I use all my weeklies and fit points every week and still lose.  

Answer 3

I lose using my weeklies you just lose less

Answer 4

I don't feel like I am cheating when I use my weeklies. I use my weeklies for overages here and there, or a treat such as I am today. I use my weeklies and still lose. Your weeklies are there so you don't deprive yourself.  

Answer 5

I love bagels. I eat them daily. I used bagel thins or make them the 2 ingredient bagels.  

Answer 6

Nope, WW wouldn’t give you the points if they are not supposed to be use.  

Answer 7

I do, but remind myself that's what they're there for

Answer 8

Honestly, I’ve lost more weight using my weeklies than when I wasn’t using them. Eat that bagel!

@acidophil same here.  

Answer 9

Can't cheat on WW as it's not a diet. WW is set up to allow you to eat any food in moderation. Track your points and move on.  

Answer 10

Absolutely not. It’s how I make it through the week.  

Answer 11

No! That is what they're for!  

Answer 12

Use them . the program is designed for you to use them

Answer 13

I just had half a bagel with cream cheese this morning. Was delicious. measured, counted and now I take it easy the rest of the day;)

Answer 14

No! Don’t feel like you are cheating. They are there for that

Answer 15

Nope that’s why they are there!  

Answer 16

It’s not cheating. Those points are for thing like that. If I eat a bagel I often scoop out the middle to make me feel better.  

Answer 17

Everyone is different. I find if I use some I’ll stay the same or lose a bit but if I use all I may gain a wee bit. I have a slow metabolism

Answer 18

I don’t consider anything I eat cheating if I have the points for it . whether they be daily points or weekly points The only “cheating “ is using more points in a week than you’re allotted Ive lost 65 lbs in 11 months with this mindset

Answer 19

I use my weekly for daily overages. I tend to go two or three over and they get used that way.  

Answer 20

Down 110 since 9. 17. 18 and there hasn’t been 1 week that has gone by that I didn’t use some weeklies (they are given to be used). If you have an Aldi & Walmart near you ~ these are great! (Blue plan).  

Comments

@leifeste - thanks. Will look for them at Aldi’s. I’m also wondering if you scoop out a bagel, how many points would it be?  

---

@adopt7 ~ if you get these bagel skinny’s you don’t have to wonder  

Answer 21

You’re not cheating. The weeklies are calculated in to your points budget so you can use them as needed.  

Answer 22

I use them every week

Answer 23

I use mine every week.  

Answer 24

Forever is a long time; live your life as you normally would, and enjoy!  

Answer 25

I eat a bagel with real butter at least once a week and I eat chinese once a week and still continue to lose. I just track it. Your weeklies are meant to be used!  

Answer 26

From the Start I have used my weeklies for my recreational beverages. At lifetime I still do the same. No guilt, It has to become a lifestyle. A lifestyle you can live with.  

Answer 27

I eat almost 1600 calories with 23 points. I wouldn’t dare go in to weeklies lmao you should check out bagel thins at Aldi’s

Answer 28

Weeklies are part of the equation for us to lose. They are what makes this flexible and livable — for those days you want a bagel

Answer 29

I use them for foods I really, this is for life. I can not give up certain foods for ever so I. Use my weeklies if I want something like pizza, chocolate. You don't want to feel deprived because then I will binge. Some weeks I use weeklies and other times I don't. They are there to use

Answer 30

Yes every time. I have my app set up to use my fit points first but still feels like I’m cheating if I go over my dailies.  

Comments

@overliberal just have half of a serving if it satisfy you then you can hit that success button‼️

Answer 31

I use to feel the same way, especially when I first joined. That is why I eventually went off the plan, I made it too restrictive for myself. This time around I am using my weeklies and this morning I lost 5 pounds in the past week. The weeks I have gone crazy and went over my weeklies I gained, so for me the weeklies are just the right amount so that if I use them I am still down for the week.  

Answer 32

Sometimes I save points so I can have a bagel 6 points I try not to use my weekly

Answer 33

I cheat on the weekend

Answer 34

If u take out the inside dough of the bagel u should be ok. Eat it on the day u weigh in (after ur meeting if it is in the morning). I would only do it maybe every 2-3 weeks

Answer 35

Have a bagel and count the points!  

Answer 36

Use most of my weeklies every weekend.  

Answer 37

I have used them every single week for the past 6 months and I’m down -45. I feel guilty when I use them but feel like sometimes it “resets” my metabolism.  

Answer 38

I don't use mine either. Too scary of a thought. lol

Answer 39

Use what you use and that will be your best for that day and it's ok!  

Answer 40

No because the plans are designed for them to be used and still succeed

Answer 41

Yes! I have this underlying belief that I won’t lose any weight if I use them. The times I have used some, it’s like 3-5 for the whole week. I bet others could use the weeklies and lose weight but I’m really struggling to lose a pound per week. I have an underactive thyroid. So many people seem to be able to use them and still lose weight.  

Answer 42

That’s what they are for - to be used without guilt. it’s part of the program.  

Answer 43

I actually had 2 bagels with egg & cheese this week & lost 3. 7 pounds I do drink over 100 ounces of water a day & workout 2-3 days a week I wouldn’t do it all the time but I wanted it & had it I do make the 2 ingredient ones or use the Thomas bagel thins on a regular basis
