What am I doing wrong?

Cos i MUST be doing something wrong.

4 months ago my eating was terrible. I had fast food more than 7 times a week, frozen custard more than 3 times a week, didn't exercise. Right before thanksgiving I joined WW.
I now work out 4-5 times a week, and really push it...it might not sound like alot, but 30 minutes ont he treadmill at 3.0 mph and the incline varying from 2.5-5% KILLS ME. but I do it. also brining in the weight machines. I don't have fast food anymore, might cave in once every three weeks.
I'm off of two meds that could have inhibited weight loss (antidepressant and estrogen). I've had my thyroid checked here and there in the not too distant past, and it's never been a problem.
I have anywhere from 3-6 servings of fruits/veggies per day, 1-3 of dairy, i'm getting my water, my eating is 200% healthier....my only vice is caffeine, but due to my ADD it doesn't affect me at all...just makes me feel more "normal". I went without it for 72 hours to see if it would lower my resting heart rate (which is 95), but it didn't have any affect.

WHY am I not losing much???
I've been on WW for 12 weeks, and have lost just under 10 pounds.
I understand that a slower weight loss is "healthy", but this is LESS than a pound per week averaging out...and this is too damn slow for all the good changes I've made. Other women at the WW meetings do much less than me and seem to be in the 2+ per week category most of the time.

I'm 28, female, weigh 247 pounds.
