I'm only a few weeks in but the way I personally see it is (and from my mom's experience) once I hit my goal weight, I can start being lenient on what I eat (within reason) and start rolling into my weekly points. Currently, I REALLY want to hit my goal weight, so I try not to go over into my weekly, unless I'm really craving something (time of the month usually). For me, I really want to lose the weight and I keep telling myself it'll be worth it. And the fact that it'll cost me $40 to cancel my 6 months and I'm not wasting $20 a month lol. I find this lifestyle to be a lot easier than others I've tried. I love this point system. So to answer your question, no. I think it'll get so much easier the longer you do it, especially once you hit your weight goal
