Anyone reduce their propoints to loose weight?

Hi Girls, I have about 12 pounds to loose and am starting pro points again today. I'm wondering if anyone had to reduce thier points to loose weight? 29 * 7 + 49 seem like an awful lot. I'm just afraid I wont loose an ounce. I only lost weight when on 15 or 16 points with the old system and am half thinking of just sticking with that as I'm not going to a class. Would love some advice and opinions on this. Thanks girls. xx

My weight watchers leader told me my allowance wasn't a target but a limit (much like the speed limit!). If the old system worked for you, then go with it again and good luck!
