No results this week- I'm officially getting frustrated. I'm sure that I'm building some muscle doing Insanity, but I was 196.5 Sunday morning, 198.0 Monday morning, 197.5 Tuesday morning, 197.0 Wednesday and Thursday morning. I've been stuck in the 196-198 range since I started Insanity Monday after the Super Bowl. I've been eating pretty well through all of this, too. Well within my points allotment for Weight Watchers.

I went through something similar with my Nutrisystem program. Whenever I'd start working out I'd either completely stop losing weight or gain some. I bitched, a lot, around here

I contacted the Nutrisystem people and they basically told me that I needed to eat an extra Protein on the days I was working out.

You say you're "well within my points allotment" which makes it sound like you're still not eating enough. If you have spare points, you probably need to eat more, and even then that point total may not be taking in to account strenuous exercise. Just something to consider...

Yeah I have considered that as well- With the weather so cold, I've been eating alot of soups, which makes it a little harder to factor in points (I know what's in the whole pot, but I can't quantify what's in my bowl with exact accuracy). I get 42 points per day, which ends up being a lot of food. I don't want to eat when I'm not hungry or later in the evening, but I gotta spend these points somehow, and if I factor in my workouts, I'm pushing 50 points per day. I've been eating almonds every morning for a mid-morning snack, but I don't feel like I need to add in a full meal at breakfast (usually just a granola or Nutrigrain Bar before my workout), but maybe I need more food first thing in the morning.
