I am staying with WW. Oh never never get surgery! I know someone who almost died from its complications! Thanks very much, because this is the only place I could find the answer that slow is ok and normal and my doctor confirmed it. I wish WW would have something somewhere about the slower loss for older women. It reminds me of the language courses that tell you you'll speak fluently in three months! <br />Stephanie Cowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06423566909753375195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608503664772109513.post-32120409244918969382021-03-22T13:19:16.690-07:002021-03-22T13:19:16.690-07:00Hi Stephanie!

However, I decided it was better for me to follow this program than get surgery at my age, and at least I am losing. I have tried a few other programs the past few years and they seemed to be more expensive, because I had to buy their food, and I still lost weight slowly. You can experiment with other plans yourself, but I hope you will avoid any of the extreme plans which require you to give up all carbohydrates or all meat. Those diets can cause problems at our age. Good luck to you. I know how hard it is!

The only way I lose more is to eat about 23 of my 30 pts regularly. WW keeps advertising 16 lbs in 6 weeks and things like that. I am a little discouraged and wonder if I should keep on or find another way. I walk an average of 2 miles a day.

However, Weight Watchers is still slowly working for me. I am losing about 1/2 a pound a week, but I am losing.
