[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a pretty good handle on what works for me to lose weight, having been up and down over the years. I've lost 20+ pounds in the past (put it on after a pregnancy) and now am trying to lose it again.  This time though, I can't seem to make the needle move at all. I'm really watching what I eat [b][/b](mostly fruit, vegetables, protein, no breads, no sweets, etc)[b], using weight watchers, and working out 3 times a week (running, cycling).  I should be dropping weight, but I'm not - it's been about a month and I've lost maybe a pound and half. FWTW, I'm starting at 5'5, 170lbs.  Could it be something else? Is this a hormone issue ? Any ideas? I'm going to make an appointment with my GP but would appreciate some thoughts. [/quote]

I'm sensitive to carbs, so I need to limit my fruit. I eat mostly protein and vegetables with healthy fats and some fruit. I also have had more success with maintaining my weight with high intensity exercise -- I work my muscles until I hit a wall (e.g., HIIT training, solidcore). Doing this for 30-50 minutes 3x/week has helped me a lot. You mention running and cycling...I recommend including some full body strength training. I also need to weigh myself at least once per week to keep tabs on my weight. [/quote]
