Sometimes when you hit a pleteau it's good to change things up a little bit. I know that when I was doing WW I ended up getting into a routine and I was eating the same meals all the time, switching that up helped. Add some new meals into your diet. Also if you are exersicing then change up your workout routine and try something new. A lot of times your body just needs some change for it to start losing weight again.

What you are saying makes complete sense to me and I would say you are right, especially in my case, as I am a very boring eater, I am pretty fussy and do not like a big variety of foods, so I just eat the same things day in day out, it will be very hard for me to change my programme as I find it hard to find foods I like, this is my typical day.

Breakfast, WW cereal and half cup low fat milk 2 POINTS

Morning Tea-one low fat muslie bar and cup of tea 2 and half POINTS.

Lunch-three days a week I have low fat ham, lettuce, carrot, tomato and small amount of colby cheese on Freyas bread usually-no margerine or dressings, don't like either. cup of tea, about 6 and half POINTS.(other days I have low fat cup of soups)although now it is summer I will have to change that.
A piece of fruit usually an apple. 1POINT

Afternoon tea varies usually fruit or a chocolate low fat milkshake either 1 point or 1 and half POINTS.only have the milkshake now and then,hardly ever really.

Dinner, nearly always a chicken lite, which is 1 and half POINTS and either potato or kumara and a salad.total about 4 and half POINTS..any points left over usually another fruit, i do have the odd treat like a small piece of chocolate, or an ice cream or ice block which i work into the programme.

I really should have other food besides chicken lites, but they taste really nice and are the lowest fat thing i can find, i like having more points during the day for extras like more fruit etc, so I opt for them mostly, I am allergic to fish and have trouble digesting red meat even though I am on medication for that, so my options are not too great really.

I hate yoghurt, cottage cheese and any fancy sauces so ya see that limits me alot doesn't it?

I really should exercise more, I do the minimum 30mins a day walking and that is it, although i do run up and down the stairs alot during the day to come online and do stuff upstairs, infact since I have lost the 5 and half kgs I now can run up and down without getting puffed, I was incredibly unfit and that extra weight was not helping me one little bit.
