So let's start with a backstory, at the start of 2011 I was 238lbs and decided to start dieting. I went on Weight Watchers, and with only very mild exercise managed to lose 46lbs in about 9 months. I have gained some of that weight back and am now 208lbs. At the beginning of the year I decided to go back on Weight Watchers, but saw absolutely no results in the month of January. So in February I've been switching to a combination of counting calories and at least 5 days a week of 30-60 min of cardio (running, spinning and Zumba). In three weeks with this (I had one off weekend in Vegas, but otherwise I have stuck with it) I have lost no weight. I feel healthier, but the results sure aren't showing up on my scale and that is so frustrating.
I'm not sure what else I can do, I try to make healthy food choices and almost never eat above 1400 cal. (My BMR is about 2200). I don't understand why it was so easy 2 years ago and now just losing 2lbs feels impossible. I don't want to quit and I won't because I actually feel better than I have in months, physically, but emotionally it's really hard to not see any progress from all my hard work.
Any suggestions? Anyone else have similar problems and how did you overcome them?
