Weight Loss Struggles
I'm a 44 year old female, 5'4" and weigh 160lbs. I'd like to weight 130lbs. I've been following Weight Watchers for 2 months, very faithfully, writing everything down, staying within my points range and I haven't lost a pound! Up 1lb. one week, down 1lb. the next week. This goes on week after week and I stay the same. I exercise my butt off at least 6 days a week for an hour or more a day. Cardio/weight training and Karate 3x a week. I've had my Thyroid checked and everything is normal. I've done Weight Watchers in the past and have been very successful. What could be going wrong now?
Thank You for your help!

It's possible you're not consuming enough calories.
When I was going to ww's I was consuming the equivalent of 24+ points and was consistently losing weight (despite having some very bad binge sessions).
Possibly I was over-estimating what I was eating and under-estimating my exercise.
Were you given a fast-start option as part of your program? Are you consuming an excessive number of points, do you think? Or too few?
Some say changing your routine can help. Maybe different exercise or different foods. Are you maybe miscalculating your food and activity points?
Weight Watchers generally have people (leaders) who you can discuss problems with.
There is also a weight watchers newsletter available which lists forums, etc where you can chat with other ww members.

I do the on-line program and the system figures out your points by weight, age etc... I don't go to meetings.
I eat around 1500 calories a day also. Very frustrating. If this happens a lot where are the answers?

It's hard to say - it's an incredibly frustrating situation when you feel like you are making all the right choices!
Do you feel that your point target with Weight Watchers is appropriate for you? Have you mentioned it to facilitators at meetings - what do they say?
