Brief Answer:
Hi Judy!

Detailed Answer:
I know exactly what you mean. You are most likely in a state of insulin resistance and may be sensitive to the "types" of starches in your diet.

Many studies have shown positive results by doing two things to their meal plan relative to Weight Watchers. First, you can keep the percentage calories from carbohydrate the same, just try to substitute "low glycemic index" carbohydrates for "higher index carbohydrates", lists of such may be found on the internet.
Secondly, you may ask them to lower your total carbohydrate percentage overall and still make the glycemic substitutions.

I make these recommendations because for quite awhile now we have known that " diets based on high-Glycemic (GI) starches promote weight gain, visceral adiposity, and higher concentrations of lipogenic enzymes than do isoenergetic (eating calories to maintain weight), macro nutrient controlled (such as total carbohydrate, fat,protein) diets", so just by changing the choice of carbohydrate you may lose weight more easily.

Speaking of carbohydrates, emphasizing the water soluble fibers in your diet that come from oats and fresh fruits may help control your appetite.

I have a personal Pinterest website that may help you with some of your nutrition questions, feel free to search for it under my name. It is free.

If I can clarify anything for you on what to do with your Weight Watcher Diet, let me know. To summarize, I would search for a list of high and low glycemic index foods. On your Weight Watcher meal plan for carbohydrate or starch choices, try to choose from the low glycemic index list. This may assist your metabolism in losing weight.

I also have a Pinterest Board with Recipes for low glycemic index meals.

I hope I have answered your question. Please feel free to close and rate me if you are satisfied or write me back for clarification if you need help understanding my recommendations.

You can always seek personalization of your menus by visiting a dietitian virtually or in their office for a complete assessment and meal plan/exercise routine with ongoing support If your current program does not work for you.
