STILL haven't lost weight???
Another week of working out and following WW to a "T" and not losing any weight??? What the h@ll is wrong??? 
It HAS to be the nursing/BF??? I've never had trouble losing weight with WW before?

Re: STILL haven't lost weight???
I have not yet had children, but I work with them and their mothers, and I don't think nursing would keep you from losing weight. With some people it only helps. Are you eating more than normal while bf-ing? You should eat healthy, but you actually don't have to eat much more than normal. Also, are you exercising at all?
ETA: I know it is frustrating. I am in a similar boat. Strict diet, exercising daily.. and nothing is coming off. in the past, i would do less and see results. Just don't give up! Maybe your body still needs time to adjust to everything.

Re: STILL haven't lost weight???
Nursing is suppose to help. I'm doing WW and you're suppose to get extra points per day due to nursing. I've tried using all of the points, nothing, I've tried 1/2 the points, nothing. I guess I'll have to try not using any of the extra points because it's just not working for me. 
I am exercising. When I started WW, about a month ago I started working out again. I go to the gym 2 times a week, weights and cardio and 2 times a week I take my giant Siberian Huskies for a run.
I don't know why?  I've done WW 2 other times in my life and I lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time when I stuck with the program and that was also with exercising. I'm sticking to the program and exercising and it's not working? The only thing different this time is that I'm nursing the baby? WW actually gives you an extra 10 points per day when you BF. I tried the 10, then 5 and now next week I'm going to have to stop using those extra points since it doesn't seem like they're extra for me!

I disagree. Some women hold onto extra weight while BFing. Their bodies need the additional fat to produce milk. EBFing moms generally also need an extra 300-500 calories to maintain their supply.
I had friends in a similar boat. Once they did start losing weight, it was a very slow process. I've read that a BFing mom shouldn't lose more than 1-2 lbs per week b/c it could affect supply.
