I joined WW 2 weeks ago... I have followed it strictly and even had points left over everyday.... I have not lost anything!!!! This was like something I was relying on, especially from all the reviews on here.. Has this happened to anyone else?

Absolutely! Could be a few things...1. make sure you drink your water...makes a difference. 2. make sure you eat all your points.
good luck! I absolutely know how frustrating it is.

Re: Super discouraged!
This has happened a few tims to me with WW, and trust when I say it is only temporary! DO NOT GIVE UP!
Are you on flex or core...talk to your leader about trying the other.
Bring your journal to your next meeting and show your leader. I did this alot at first and she made so many suggestions. I was eating alot of salad...but no VEGGIES!!!! and suprisingly..not enough starch...i needed a baked or sweet potato...
are you eating some of the same foods alot? I ate tuna constantly...and my body got used to it and wouldnt lose. The body needs to be shocked by an array of good foods
Ive been on and off since 2002 and had a plateau that lasted 9 weeks!!! I wanted to cry...
but i have lost sooooo mcuh...its a lifestyle and it doesnt happen over night.. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
DONT GIVE UP!!!

Definitely drink LOTS of water throughout the day!! And do you eat breakfast? I don't usually have time but when i am dieting i make mydelf eat a lowfat/low sugar yogurt for breakfast to get my metabalism going in the morning...
Don't be discouraged, it is annoying, but does take some time...

Don't be discouraged. It can just take some time for your body to get used to a new diet. Also, you do have the drink water and and maybe you should talk to someone there about changing which plan you are on.
Also, maybe you are just eating the right amount to maintain your weight..have you tried working out a bit? That's what always gets me started on my weightloss.
Don't give up & good Luck!!

I agree wholeheartedly EAT ALL YOUR POINTS! You have just that amount for a reason. I tried skimming off my points and I only lost ounces whereas if I ate all my points I lose pounds. GO FIGURE! Just stick with it, sometimes it takes your body a couple of weeks to kick in with the weight loss. DON'T GIVE UP!

Re: Super discouraged!
I have only been drinking water... And lots of it! I dont eat alot if fruits and veggies though I try working out but it is hard at times... Although I am constantly chasing my daughter everywhere which is a work out in itself!!!!
I guess I gotta just keep trying.... Im on the flex plan as well... But thats it.. I am so motivated now.. I HAVE to lose the rest of the baby weight.... 50 pounds HAS to go BY July!!! I dont care how much I crave sweets or how tired I am.. I HAVE to workout EVERYDAY! No matter what I HAVE to take at least an hour a day out for myself.... (Very hard with a 17 month old!) But I WILL do!

It's just a plateau! Sometimes it takes a couple weeks b4 you start noticing the difference. Also make sure you are consuming more low-point food... Weight watchers is good, but technically you can eat like 1 cupcake and 1 slice of pizza everyday if thats the only thing you eat all day.

youll do it!!! Keep the mindset that you can!!!
My leader advises to take 3-5 weeks to pick a program and get used to it and know it. Personally....writing everything down, and being HONEST with it...its ALOT of work for me...probably the hardest...esp eating all those fruits and veggies...
its alot!! one thing at a time...youll do it! Theres a WW thread somewhere...we all need to support one another on it!

Re: Super discouraged!
I hear ya..its normal. I counted points for a MONTH and didn't lose anything. So aggravating. Its so hard to stay motivated when you don't see results on the scale, but don't give up. Also, if you can get in some exercise, you will start to see more results. Exercise makes a HUGE difference!

DON'T GIVE UP! It happened to me as well when I first did WW about 4 years ago. Sometimes our bodies fight the weight loss, give it some time to transition!
I do agree w/ the other girls who said to make sure and drink lots of water, use all your points per day, and try to add in some exercise if possible. Even running up and down your stairs at home for a few minutes a day, could be enough to get the pounds to start dropping! Hang in there, I know its hard

Don't give up or be discouraged. I am not on ww but I am following my jenny craig eating, and some weeks nothing on the scale and then another a big loss. The most important thing is you are eating right and moving around. Don't be discouraged because you will see a difference.

Re: Super discouraged!
it happened to be on week it was actually the first week b/c i had the ww frozen food for lunch almost everyday and they have a LOT of sodium in them which i didnt know, so watch your salt intake and drink lots of water.
they said to have the meals maybe 1-2 a week. but i have to literally exercise 4-5 a week, dont be discouraged you will lose it
