Confused about FitPoints and converting them.

I did weightwatchers quite some time ago and lost about 25lbs steadily over 6 months. I started working out during this process and my weight loss stopped cold. My body composition changed but the weight was pretty much steady. I eventually gave up both confused.

Fast forward to this past October, I started WW and Orangetheory and have been doing both pretty religiously (except for two weeks in December for international travel). I go to OTF 4 times a week: Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri.

At first I dropped almost 15lbs like no problem. But it’s been a slog ever since. Same issue has hit. I’ve been holding steady weight. My clothes do fit much better and my wife definitely notices a difference and says that my spare tire is getting much smaller. I also notice my muscles are firmer and growing a little. Overall, it’s good stuff but I’m curious why my weight doesn’t seem to be dropping like others here.

Anyway I tried looking today into how the workouts affect my points and notice that I have tons of FitPoints (I have 105 of the 49 points I need this week and still have my Friday workout to go). I found the setting that lets me convert these over to eating points as well.

The question is, should I do this? I tried flipping the switch and I’m at 67 extra points from the FitPoints conversion on top of my regular bonus allowance. Is this normal? I can’t even imagine what I’d eat to use all those points (I get 37 regular points per day with a weekly overage points of 42). Normally I eat around 37-40 points each day.

Anyway, color me confused as I’d like my weight to drop off while my body composition transitions as well but I’m just not seeing that happen.

How A Love Language Can Help You Decide On The Perfect Gift

Image
Coined by psychologist Dr Gary Chapman in his groundbreaking relationship book The Five Love Languages, it explains that the way we express our love for one another is done so using a certain ‘love language’, one of five to be exact. This ideology means that every person receives and understands love in a specific way or ‘language’ and in turn, this is what makes us feel loved and appreciated – but it isn’t always identical with our partners love language. When it comes to Christmas shopping and looking for the perfect gift, it can be a nightmare for most couples. We never know what to say when put on the spot, and the same goes for our partners. You think of things you’d want or need throughout the year but never write it down, thus making it hard to remember what you’d actually enjoy opening as a gift this year. Being an adult is great because you can buy whatever you need or want, whenever! This isn’t so great when you’re thinking of a gift for your special someone and they alread
