Trying Again

Who would have thought it would be so hard to lose weight? I am back up to 224 and have been following my points religiously. I have been working out almost every night for at least 1/2 to 1 hour and walking the dog every morning for 1/2 hour. The scale just will not budge. It is so frustrating! Could I be gaining muscle enough to cause me to not lose weight? At what point do you start to gain muscle from working out that it would cause me to not lose weight?

I started back on Weight Watchers this month after my doctor said if I don't I will need gastric bypass next year. What a huge shock! I couldn't believe it.

I am still stress eating. Part of it is if our refinance on the house goes thru so we can cash out for the remodel, part of it is having my preteen son home all summer and starting to get on my nerves and part is my husband doesn't get the saving money thing so he went and bought a new riding mower for $1600.
