Question

I've been on green plan for 3 months and I've lost 12 pounds. I can deal with how slow it's coming off but I've walked 3 miles everyday since I've started and this week 5 miles and still have stayed the same;(. should i walk less? Change plans? I'm getting frustrated. I've stayed under my points also. what am i doing wrong?  

Answer 1

I’m on blue. almost 3 months now. I lost 19 the first month! And nothing since! I have not cheated and I walk 30-60 minutes/ day & bike ride 6 miles 5 days a week on top of that! I’m getting very discouraged

@pufahl62 19 pounds is a lot of weight to lose in a month. It sounds like your body is adjusting. stay the course the weight will come off.  

Answer 2

I lost 50 lbs on green , it was slow but well worth the hard work , don’t stop

Answer 3

That’s awesome! Don’t be discouraged!  

Answer 4

Eat more one day ! Shake it up ! Just use some weeklies

Answer 5

Are you getting enough protein? You are executing healthy habits for your body which is the right idea. Just change something small in your routine to find out why the scale is not responding. Keep up the good work and be kind to yourself!  

Answer 6

Walking helps get you in better shape but don't expect it to make you lose more weight. I does get you away from food however. Watch what you eat and make sure you change it up once in awhile. It depends on how much weight you have to lose, the closer to goal weight the slower it comes off.  

Answer 7

I feel like I'm getting enough protein. thank you I will try more. I drink 100 oz of water also. ;/

@hounding6912 This is so similar with what I am experiencing. Thx for posting

You're welcome. I mean I would at least be happy losing a half pound a week!  

Answer 8

Thank you everyone. I just get frustrated.  

Answer 9

Although we’d like it to move faster, healthy weight loss is around 1-2 lbs per week. You’re really right on track. More importantly you’re developing good habits and improving your health. Be patient with the process. It works.  

Answer 10

Thank you so much for asking about this. I have lost 9 pounds and have stayed the same the past 2 weeks. I also stay within my points I rarely use my weekly points. I drink about 70 to 90 ounces of water and walk 45 min a day. I have been on the Blue plan for about 4 weeks.  

Answer 11

That's great Toni. that's how I'm feeling. I thought about changing to blue plan just to see;)

Answer 12

@loot8252 that's great also . I'm hoping all of a sudden I will drop a couple pounds! Lol

Answer 13

Don’t lose faith! I walked 5 miles for 6 days a week for over a year and didn’t drop an ounce. but my lungs worked better and I slept better and the best thing was I was less cranky!  

Answer 14

Seriously? Ugh that would really upset me. ;(

Answer 15

Well, slow is better! It's more likely you'll keep it off. I think you should eat some weeklies. Sometimes we eat too little for what we do. I eat some weeklies every week. Very slow but steady!  

Answer 16

Change up what you are eating

Answer 17

Thank you. I'm going to try ALL of your ideas. something has to work!  

Answer 18

Eat more. Drink water. Watch your sugar/carbs. Continue exercising and change up your routine. Incorporate weights and strength training if possible. Eat a high fat, red meat meal occasionally. Good luck!  

Answer 19

Keep going your body is fooling you. Then you will have a drop.  

Answer 20

You should eat your points. If you don’t your body is holding onto the fat to survive. Your not getting enough nutrition, especially since you are exercising and burning more calories. I did that the last time I was on WW, told I was not eating enough.  

Comments

@montana2514 I agree

Answer 21

Really? Thank you so much.  

Answer 22

I’ve found that when I exercise more, I need to eat more to lose!  

Answer 23

Shake it up do interval training

Answer 24

Eat all of your points.  

Answer 25

Yes eat the points available to you. Also note that while eating fruits and veggies is great they also have calories involved. Examples bananas have many calories and carbs, while good for you they are still taking up belly room. You can do this!  

Answer 26

Great post. Thanks. I'm in the same boat.  

Answer 27

Track every morsel of food, don't guess.  

Answer 28

You are not eating enough. WW would not give you weeklies just to look at. Use them.  

Answer 29

If u exercised before, say in high school ur body may be more resistant. U may need to increase the cardio aspect, like biking, running, etc. I have the same problem. My body needs a great deal of exercise despite the K-cal depletion. Good luck, BTW

Answer 30

Your building muscle and lossing fat. muscel is heavier then fat. so I have been told. check with a local trainer. may need to do other body moves to remove the fat you want. I believe you doing great. just need to fine tune. women retain fat in parts of her body. due to DNA. /family history. so I have been told. keep up the good work.  

Answer 31

Remember it isn’t all the scale. How about how you feel and how your clothes fit. You are still on a good path.  

Answer 32

Start adding weights to your walk and an incline. Change your route  

Answer 33

When I worked in a hospital I walked. 7 to 10 miles aday I was in my 40's I ate and drank 5 to 7000 calories daily. Walking needs a lot of fuel! It's a great fat burner.  

Answer 34

Drink more water

Answer 35

Wrong? Your doing great! The walking is a plus to your health! Keep on truckin!  

Answer 36

That sounds right , if you lose weight too fast it just come back

Answer 37

Try the blue plan.  

Answer 38

Eat all your points. This happened to me and eating all my points resulted in loss.  

Answer 39

If you are on certain medications. It can effect your weight loss.
