Hello everybody.  I'm glad that I have found this group.  I have been
overweight for years, actually medically obese.  I have struggled for
years trying to lose weight and eat healthy.  But for some reason it
never seemed to work.  I guess monotony would be the right word.  Any

My first week on WW , I lost 5.5 lbs. Now it is just 1/2 to 1 lb. a week.
Should I lower my daily points
in order to see weight loss?  I am also exercising about 2 to 3 times a week.
Thanks

Happy New Year to you all where ever you may be!      Julie
