Weight watchers tracking so 19 points but essentially 1200 calories to maintain weight and being overweight by 15 lbs. looking at obese in a few more lbs.

I’ve lost 10lbs in 16 weeks eating about 1500-1800 calories. [/quote]

I call BS that you are 1200 cal/ day EVERY DAY for 1-2 months and lost nothing. A. Most people can not stick to 1200 cal a day. They tend to do it for a few days, get ravenous then over eat and start again. B. They are not consistent- meaning they eat these calories 90-100% of the time for a solid month. c.  Losing while eating 1500-1800 cal for someone who is overweigh/weights more than 150 lbs is right on track for what they need to be in a deficit and lose weight. The thing is we are told we need to eat 1200 cal to lose weight so assume more that that will not work. Sure you will lose faster with a larger deficit, but rarely do people actually stick to that large deficit long enough to lose.

I say this as someone who has been on a GLP1 and I lost weight because i was more able to stick to my calorie target because I wasn't hungry all the time. got full faster and was able to stop eating vs continuing to eat even when the food was tasty. [/quote]

It was 1200 for a year and I lost 10 lbs the 1st 3 months. Then I was stuck. I never lost “fast”.

I tracked points but WW added calories to their app recently so I can look at my calories.

My nutritionist thought 1200 was too low but that’s how WW worked for me . I was 185 down to 175. I’m 5’8” But got stuck for 9 months.

Due to medical issues I was motivated but stuck. So I went on a GLP-1. [/quote]
