Hi, Becca.
I'm sorry you're struggling but pills are definitely not necessary for weight loss. It is possible to gain muscle and be overweight at the same time. Water weight due to exercise, hormonal, or carb load also throws the scales around and you can actually weigh less even if the scale says you have not lost weight or even gained. If this happens for a long time you should try measuring yourself instead of using the scale. If you're losing inches but the scale stays the same that means you are losing fat and gaining muscle. You'll be smaller but the scale won't reflect the difference. I suggest measuring yourself now and continuing what you're doing, eating healthy, counting points, and exercising then remeasure in two weeks to a month. If your inches haven't changed or if the scale hasn't moved, you need to recalculate your plan. I never tried weight watchers but nonsmoothied fruit and vegetables are 0 points if I remember correctly. Fruit can definitely add up if you eat many servings of it; although that would take hundreds of grams. Maybe try finding a way to count fruit too for awhile to see if it makes a difference?
Just remember it's a journey and not a quick solution. Take your time and focus on feeling good.
