  • I hear your pain! I was with Weight Watchers for 8 weeks, followed it religiously, exercise 5-6 times a week, and I lost only 2 pounds. I did lose 4 inches overall on my measurements. Several people suggested I wasn't eating enough, and it's very hard to know how much you're eating in calories with WW unless you convert…

I think my body has gone into some female hormonal Bermuda Triangle, but I am bound and determined to push past that and not let it take me down. I exercise 5-6…
  • Good luck, ladies! Let's hope we're successful. Just don't give up!
  • Hi all, A number of people have also suggested, like Emily, that I might not be eating enough food. The WW method of calculating Activity Points is not very scientific, and I am not able to really know how many calories I'm taking in vs. how much I'm exercising out - above and beyond my baseline metabolic rate. I am hoping…
