I have a long diet history.
In 2009, I used SparkPeople to lose 60 pounds.
I gained about 30 back. In 2010, I used the old WW to lose that 30 before I moved to college.
I gained about 30 back (surprise!).
So this summer, this finals week, actually, I convinced my mother to let me join WW again (she pays).
I have done my best to stick to the new plan. I even went on a mini-vacation and still lost. Now, I can't lose anything. Last week was zero. This week was minus .5. I am grateful to finally lose half a pound but COME ON.
The last time, it was so much easier. I don't understand. I am sticking to the plan. Except once I went like, a bazillion (18) points over, and I weighed the next day and that was the day I had lost the half a pound. It's held steady since then.
I am measuring portions, drinking my water, not eating more fruit than is acceptable. I have no idea what's going on.
A couple of notes:
- Activity points: How many should I eat? I am sort of half-heartedly training for a bike ride in September, and sometimes I will use upwards of 16 a day. Also, I really like to hike and that gets usually between 4-6, an hour.
- I did WW once in high school and I had to eat a couple of points over every day in order to lose weight. I would stay exactly the same if I just ate to my target. I haven't really tried eating over yet.
- I work on my feet and the old Points system gave me 2 points a day for that, this one doesn't.
- I am doing WW completely at home, so it's not like I can write down my food and take it to a meeting leader and get their input.
My weight is 231.5, and my daily target is 39. Help. So frustrating.
