I did weight watchers last year to drop total of 15 pounds. It took me 10 months to lose 8 pounds and frankly found it to be too expensive for minimal results. I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT SLOW.....one thing i have learned. I am 53 years old and my body has become really sensitive to starchy carbs since going thru the…

Not sure what you mean by eating below my maintenance???? If anything I overeat on most days. When I burn 500-700 at gym after work, I cant consume enough calories to break even on those days.

My trainer said once you go past 30 minutes of controlled cardio, elliptical for me, you arent really burning alot of calories anyway. He switched me to more weight training as that increases your caloric burn while you are at resting rates. You burn more while you are at work and sleeping. Better for your joints also

Thanks for the responses. I lost lost and gained the same few pounds. They kept telling me it was slower the closer you get to goal but it was frustrating to only lose .4 every other week. I think I do better with less starchy carbs. I like this forum thus far.
