I have done a lot of research and thinking since my WI yesterday. I have poured over my spreadsheet and found that from the beginning of September to the end of January (5 months) I lost 25 pounds, February to March (3 months) a whopping 3.8 pounds. So what I am doing it not working.
After much though I am willing to try anything (within reason of course!) My research, and a suggestion from a blogger lead me to the Wendie Plan, I found a thread about it on 3 Fat chicks. I am going to give it a bash, it's a week and if it works great, if it doesn't I will keep on trying to find answers.
My points allowance is 26 a day, according to the Wendie plan this is what I have to do:
Day 1 - 26 points
Day 2 - 31 points
Day 3 - 27 points
Day 4 - 41 points (super high day they call it)
Day 5 - 26 points
Day 6 - 30 points
Day 7 - 28 points
I will continue with my exercise DVD's and water.
Any suggestions are deeply appreciated, I hope you are all having a wicked week.
On a personal note .. whhhoooop whhooooppp for NickelBack concert tomorrow!!!!!!!!

Good for you for trying to shake things up. I have heard really good things about the Wendie plan on the WW message boards - so I hope it works well for you. I'm not a pts person myself, I do the core "simply filling" technique, so I don't think that it would help me.
Im no help with the points BUT do believe in keeping things shifting.
always changing what youre doing to keep your body thinking:
WAIT, WHAT??!!!
I agree with the others, I think that our bodies get used to our routine and get happy at a certain weight just as our muscles do better if we shake up the exercise. I hope this helps you see wonderful results!
Good luck with this plan! Hope it works for you...I look forward to hearing about the results.
Good luck trying Wendie. It seems like a lot of people have had good results with it.
Okay, I hear you on being frustrated. Two suggestions here. Try switching from Flex to Core or Core to Flex for two weeks. That should stir things up. I did that when I couldn't get past a plateau, and I lost 6 pounds in two weeks and I got jumpstarted. I started back on my usual plan after the two week change was up. Next suggestion, do a short easy cardio before eating in the morning three times this week, and then up your evening workout by 15 minutes a few times. Your body may be accustomed to the routine. Oh, another thing: try dropping as much sodium as possible for a day or two, and try a day or two of low carb/high protein and then go back. These are all different ways of doing what MizFit said: keep your body guessing. Your body evidently has you figured out, Lisa! Trick it. ;)
Wendie DOES work! Best of luck to ya!
OOOH Nickelback, they are awesome live, I've seen them like 3 times! have a GREAT time!!!
What really worked for me was adding 1tbsp of flax oil daily into my diet, and splitting up my work outs to two a day - a workout in the morning and one in the evening which was only about 1 hour of cardio a day. I had been watching what I ate really good for MONTHS and my weight didn't budge until I followed the above and then I was losing 3lbs a week. I've stayed steady since and want to lose a little bit more weight and tone up.
