I am really pissed off! i lost 3lbs at weight watchers, first week, And that is all good. But the first time i was a member , this time last year, i lost 9lbs my first week.

I am gutted i cant exercise like i want to because i have blood clots on my lungs, and feel this is going to elongate my weight loss :(

well done you for at least that loss, I've just posted that I just can't even lose anything so keep going!! x

Well done.
It's taken me over a month to lose 8lb and that's with good exercise.
When I last needed to lose weight drastically I dropped 16lb in the first month.
I am ten years older and another c-section on, and I must just conclude that my body has changed and I am also fighting, maybe, the beginnings of middle aged spread, perhaps.

Maybe you are not retaining as much fluid as you were a year ago?
Just keep reminding yourself that the slower it comes off the more likely it is to stay off.

When you say 'just had a baby'...
I hope you haven't run into WW like three weeks post natal or something...
Take it easy there, important job you're doing, 3lbs is fine.
3lbs is fine even if you put on 4stone during pregnancy like I do. 3lbs is a bloody miracle if you're only 5ft3 like I am.
