Frustrated - constructive input, please

I am frustrated. I am up four lbs. I have been exercising 6/7 days of the week and I eat pretty consistently the same things all week long that are within my WW points and aren't completely devoid of nutritional value (which I used to do - I'd eat all my points in crappy food and wonder why I was still hungry). I do use up all or nearly all of my flex points on the weekend, but I don't go over. I don't know why the scale won't move in the downward direction. I have added a new thyroid med after a blood draw on 4/12 - Cytomel (I am already on 50 mcg of Synthroid). I hope that will help. It's so disappointing to have a huge setback like this and not be able to pinpoint why. My log is public - it's under "pugged". I think I am too close to it to be objective about it, so I invite you to look it over and offer me suggestions.

I know that I could do with fewer packaged foods (such as the South Beach Diet lunches that I've been eating), but I have chosen to rely on some of those things in order to allow myself the time to focus on getting more exercise. It's a time trade-off for me.

I realize that I am building up some muscle mass by exercising more and adding weights to the mix, however, I have more than 100 lbs. to lose to get into the "healthy weight" as determined by my doctor, so I know that some of the weight should come off regardless of heavier muscle.

Thanks in advance for your input.
