Points Plus doesn't work

It doesn't work.  It just doesn't.  I've been on the Weight Watchers Points Plus plan now for 6 weeks and nada, nilch, nope.  Well actually I did lose 3 pounds at the very beginning but the last 4 weigh-ins have not budged.  I've tried everyone thing to shake it up.  First I tried the Wendie Plan which worked GREAT for me with the old Weight Watchers Momentum flex points.  Nothing.  Then I tried counting points for the fruit.  Nothing (except I felt like I was starving).  I'm starting to wonder if my scale is messed up.  But that's pathetic - of course my scale is fine.  My clothes aren't getting any baggier.

So my next plan of action is to say forget it.  Not to losing weight and becoming healthier.  I say forget it to Points Plus.  I'm going back to Momentum flex points.  I'm SO happy I saved my old calculator and points book.  Now I just have to relearn point values since I am geared towards the Points Plus values right now.

Am I excited?  No.  Am I feeling positive?  No, not really.  But I feel good that I have been able to keep a level head through all this and haven't given up and scarfed down a bag of chocolate chips.

I'm going to start the Momentum flex points with the Wendie Plan because I just love it.  Today in fact was my big today.  Tomorrow I'm down to 21 points.  It's going to be tough to adjust but I CAN DO IT!

I've actually been reading quite a bit about other people who say that Points Plus doesn't work.  I'm curious - what do we all have in common?  My friend told me it doesn't work for middle aged women with less to lose which describes me.  I'm 46 and need to lose 15 pounds.  Please chime in if you're in the same boat.
