Ok all.. I need help. I have been on weight watchers for almost 3 years. My top weight was 343 and I am now down to 178. Of course, I'm very proud and happy but I have not yet reached my goal.
For the past year, I have been very stuck. I have basically lost about 3 pounds overall for the whole year.
I have had plateaus before but never like this. The slightest "cheat" and I gain weight quickly and then it will take me weeks to lose it again.
I follow the points and I exercise. I drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
Then to add to my frustration, I have been very very hungry lately. It is making me miserable.
I even tried to switch to Atkins for a few months to see if I could jump start myself again and just for something different because I have been getting tired of the WW plan. I gained 6 pounds in 10 days and went back to WW. I had been successful on Atkins about 5 years so that was disappointing as well. Especially since the 10 days I was on Atkins I was very happy that I was finally feeling satisfied and not starving all the time.
I am open to any ideas or suggestions. Ideas for different diets? Ways to not be hungry? Ways to get myself going again?
I'm very afraid that I'm so close to quitting and I know it won't take me any time to gain back all the weight.
HELP!!!
Thanks in advance.
