--------------------

a few words about this point business

i'm allowed 28 points per day - once i'm under 225 pounds, that goes to 26 per day

i'm also allowed an additional 35 points a week, to be used all at once or split up throughout the week

i also need to get 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day, 2 servings of dairy and 6 glasses of water

doing well on the water...and getting one serving of dairy...at least one each of fruit and veggies...need to work on that one
