I am 43 and had a hysterectomy at 35. I had in the past been able to lose 40 lbs but have gained much of it back. I eat mainly whole grain carbs, low fat dairy, no red meat, and have been limiting treats to 1 or none a day. I have not been able to lose even following weight watchers and see most people can. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I also wear a pedometer and have done between 10,000 and 20,000 steps daily and lift free weights twice a week. Please help!
