After 21/2 years on weight watchers, I'm at a standstill, for the last
3 months I lost 3 pounds and then gained the 3 lbs I loss and added
another 6 lb. I also had to have my thyroid medicine increased for a
TSH of 11, I hope to restart next week., It's a life time struggle
of mine, I have loss 55 lbs. I need to lose another 50 lb. My weight
watcher leader tells me I'm not eating enough points. I find if hard
to eat 30 pt per day. I'm very discouraged.
If you're having trouble upping the points, have some good high point
foods. Macadamias or cashews (or other nuts, of course) will do the
trick, or some other healthy fatty/oily food (it sounds like a
contradiction, doesn't it??).
Also change your routine a bit. If you exercise, change what you're
doing. If you ride a bike, do a bit of walking too (or instead), and try
to mix it up. If you've been eating chicken, change to an oily fish.
Just a couple of thoughts, but don't get disheartened. You've done so
well so far, Kathy!

all good advice, Lee
My leader gave a presentation entitled "Make Fat Your Friend", where she
pointed out that you can use fat to your advantage.
The bit about changing the exercise around came from going to the gym a few
years ago. It was in the context of building strength, but it seems to
apply to most facets of the human body.
I just found this, by the way. It's my Weight Watchers leader...

It's from a couple of months before I started.
At the sign-up, there was a picture of some fat lady with a baby in the
information pack. The person running the sign-up session then pointed to
the front of the room where the regular meeting was in progress and said
"That's her...". Prior to that, I'd seen her out the front and thought
"What would she know about weight loss? She's probably never been
overweight in her life!".
