Why can't I lose the last 6 pounds?

Chickpea, 28 April, 2009 at 22:05 Posted on Beauty & Wellbeing 0 2

I've been doing WW since October and have so far lost 23lbs, which I'm very proud of. However, for the past 6 weeks or so I've been going up and down past the same point and just can't seem to shift the last 6 pounds to get to goal.

I'm trying not to lose momentum and not to loose heart, but it's getting very frustrating. I am tracking (most of the time), walking for at least an hour a day, drinking loads of water and running around after a 2 and a half year old and a 9 month old. I am still breastfeeding my 9 month old and some days she hardly feeds so maybe I am over on points, but other days she feeds loads and I need the points. What do I do?

Any advice would be very gratefully appreciated. I'd LOVE to get the last 6 pounds off in the next 3 weeks in time for my daughter's Christening!

    In terms of the points when breastfeeding, I'd go with your appetite, eat more (within points!) on the days you need to, and just eat your 3 meals and maybe small snacks the other days and try and go under your bf point allowance.

    You could also look at lowering your points.

    You really need to track everything, as it's easy to forget what may have passed your lips if you don't record it and you easily go over points but convince yourself otherwise.

    Also make sure you're measuring everything and not just guessing portion sizes.

    I'm struggling too. I only have 10lbs to lose. I lost 9lbs of it last year but then went on a 2 week all inclusive to the Dominican then a few months later went on another all inclusive to Magaluf where I just put the 9lbs back on. I've been one pound up, one pound down since January and its doing my head in. I just want to get to 10 stone but I'm away in Denmark next week for a long weekend then off to Spain at the end of May for a week. Nothing really to stop me after I get back from Spain but I'll be even heavier then as I just love the Sangria ?

    Thanks JenB

    I am tracking but I think I do need to cut down on my points. I'll give that a go and see how I do.

    Leafy, have a nice holiday and I hope the Sangria doesn't have too much of an effect!
