I think I've figured it out...

Since my whining post about staying in the low 190s forever, I've dropped 3 lbs. How have I done this? By eating more.

I've been keeping my points between 27 and 35, and it seems to be working much better. I've commented on this trend before, but at the time I had attributed the loss at higher point values to other factors--BC pills, vitamins, etc. Now that it's happened again, though, I think there may be something to it. I'm willing to accept that the WW range (22-27) was just too low for my body to handle for extended periods of time. Considering how much I love to eat, I even embrace that notion gleefully.

At any rate, I'm going to keep my points intake between 28 and 35 every day, and stick with the exercise schedule I've been doing. I'd like to keep my adjusted daily average between 27 and 30. As long as I vary the intake enough that my body doesn't stagnate again, I think this will get me the results I want. If not, I'll just try something else.

I think there is a good chance the WW point's range is too low. Remember that they don't devise those numbers with the thought in mind that the person is going to be doing 8-10 hours a week of exercise.. They expect 20 minutes of moderate exercise a few times a week. More exercise changes things, and the few bonus points you get aren't enough once it reaches a certain level.
