Have I hit a plateau?
I think I hit a plateau on WW.
I started May 9th, and have lost 29 pounds so far.
In the month of September, I only lost 2 lbs. My first weigh in in oct, I lost .6
I dont understand why I've hit a plataeu already..I still have a ways to go.
I've started running 3/4 times a week thinking it would give me a kick start... not so much.
Does anyone have any advise? I'll probably show my tracker to my meeting leader this week to see if he has any words of wisdom...

I am by far an expert on weight loss but if you started running I think you may need to increase your calories.

See I don't really understand that.. if I'm burning more calories, won't that just increase weight loss?
My meeting leader doesn't suggest eating "activity points"... so what else could it be??

Re: Have I hit a plateau?
Sometimes when you run or do other exercises you build some muscle which shows up on the scale as lbs. Have you tried gauging your weightloss with your clothing? I know my girlfriend does WW and she says she only cares what the number is...so I get that. However my clothing is bigger on me now then when I weighed 5lbs less a few years ago...so you never know.
But CONGRATULATIONS on your weight loss...that is a wonderful accomplishment!!!

THANK YOU!!
I can absolutely tell a difference in my clothes... but I want/need the numbers to come down too. I'm not doing weights yet... I'm only running for like 40 minutes 3/4 times a week... I figure that would be a good calorie burner...

Re: Have I hit a plateau?
How recently have you started running? One WW leader explained to me that if you excercise alot all of a sudden, it could cause your muscles to swell and add weight, which you will then lose again.
I hope that made sense.

I was actually thinking that may be it.. I started about 3 weeks ago... and my meeting leader once said your muscles retain fluid in the beginning... how long does that last? lol
