Bump! I'm back, hoping for some help because unfortunately I still have no progress to report since I first posted. So that's two months now with no weight loss despite (what I assume is) a calorie deficit and plenty of exercise.

I lost it before doing Weight Watchers and some strength training (2 or 3x a week). At that point I was just trying to get from 135 to 125, since my weight had gone up post-college and seemed to settle at 135. I gained it all back fairly soon after losing it, and since then would keep trying on and off to lose it again,…
