I had joined WW years ago but did not continue to go. I have the Flex/Core book and the points ruler so I decided to start on my own. Some years ago I lost 25 pounds on Atkins but have regained that weight plus! I have been telling myself I would do something about the weight and am ready to start. Saw Bob Greene on Oprah and his plan seemed so easy but I needed to count points to see how much I was really eating. Last week I journaled and stayed within my points range plus walked 20 min/3days the week. I did not lose 1 pound and even gained 1 pound over the weekend. I am discouraged and dismayed. I am 41 and feel old, fat and disgusting. I currently weigh 162 and would like to weigh 135.
Help, advice, encouragement needed here! Has anyone not lost and possibly gained the first week?
