Kat, I can appreciate your opinion, but that's what it is ultimately, an opinion. I was stating mine and I have my own experience with WW to back it up. I'm actually on WW and use Activity Points and have since 3 weeks into the program. Those first 3 weeks I lost nothing whatsoever. . . when I started using APs, I started losing. I don't workout 2+ hours a day either. Everyone is different and a one-size-fits-all formula just doesn't work. Even WW meeting leaders often suggest that people use their Activity Points when they are in a rut. I firmly believe that, if WW thought using Activity Points would cause people not to lose weight or gain, they wouldn't even make them available. If someone is truely hungry, then they need to eat. Hunger only makes people frustrated and quit IMHO.
You have to burn 100 calories to = an Activity Point and each Point you eat is approximately 50 calories. I believe they use that formula to make up for people over estimating calories burned.
Again, MY experience with APs have been positive.
