I didnt lose weight on freestyle. I found most 0 point foods boring and not enough points for more tasty foods.
I like food. I dont want to be stuck on mostly 0 point foods which are bland to me. I couldnt scarf down big bowls of veggies unless they were in eggs or something else I like. Fruit on oatmeal with Stevia works for me. But even plain fruit isnt tasty to me. I dont want to eat tons of veggies to keep my points down and fill up. Not what I personally want to do.
I like to pick what I eat and dont and I eat pretty healthy but I dont want to be on any restrictive diet. Id rather loosely count calories, have one big filling meal and throw in a pat of butter and a dash of real cream in coffee if I feel like it. I am not a huge meat eater....and I watch fat.....and no processed sugar, but those are MY choices.
So thats my food story. No all protein. No vegan. No deliberately constant unhealthy food on a steady basis either.i am perfectly full on one big meal a day but I want to pick my choices.
We have to have a relationship with food that we are comfortable with or we wont sustain 
i wish you luck in losing a few pounds. You are NOT fat. Older people look very gaunt if they are skin and bones. Dont overdo
