Hmmm...Weight Watchers is a very health oriented plan, and they have a few different regimes in their arsenal. If the lack of loss continues for more than a month, I would go back to your group leader and ask about switching to a different plan.

If your ancestry is (like mine) of the sort that is extremely adaptable, with people who did severely hard physical labor in the past, you might not even have a dieting solution outside of a consistent eating plan. You might just quickly adapt to whatever diet you're on as if you were going through a phase where you were forced to live on smaller rations. Some of what might happen is less unconscious activity, like when you're sitting or resting your body will kick into sort of a super resting mode where you don't move as much or even breathe as hard as you do when you're getting extra calories. Crazy thing the human body is sometimes. LOL!

Being hypothyroid, I experience something similar if I try to reduce my intake too drastically. The answer is exercise and lots of it...mild though. Working in a field you wouldn't be going full throttle all through the day. You'd be doing it at a reasonable somewhat slow pace. Replicate this sort of activity by using a recumbent cycle or one of those glide walkers or by going for a long walk (5+kilometers). It's the amount of time that will tell your body you need to use what you've stored. For some of us it just takes an hour or two of mild aerobic activity every other day or sometimes every day to do the job.

I set my recumbent cycle up in the livingroom so I could ride while I'm watching a movie or listening to a good trance compilation. I would get Trance Nation 2003 and Ministry of Sound's 2003 CD1, as they will have you riding intermittently at 65 and 73 rpm.
