If you just started working out, that could be why you didn't lose as much as expected- it causes increased water retention but only temporarily. Keep it up for another week and that should fix itself

Yesterday I burned alot of exercise calories, but went to bed hungry and didn't sleep well. This may also be adjusting to a new schedule (I don't have to be in class until 11pm!!)0

I've also had a problem with exercise being over-stimulating, even earlier in the day.0 -

This week's successes: rejoined mfp and joined this thread! // day #2 of low-carb
This week's challenges: having a hard time staying away from the carbs...but I'm trying my best!0 -
@samuelsson...low carb can definitely be challenging. If it’s possible, get the starchy ones out of the house or out of sight.....it’s really hard when they’re within reach.0

Absolutely -- I've done it successfully in the past and I know I'll feel better once I get the carbs out of my system (and my kitchen and pantry!). I need to donate the carbs in my pantry to others who want them.

This weeks successes:- Back on board the tracking express.
- I am very happy to stay stable with my weight this week. I was afraid I was going to show a gain this week. I have been retaining a lot of fluid due I think to eating out much more than normal; I can see it in my face and hands. While my brain knows the reality, my heart wants to moan and *kitten* and cry about the unfairness of it all. My lack of a gain is almost like a plus (this time!)
- Exceeded my 10K a day step average.
This weeks challenges:
The Amazing Race challenge started this week. Always a workout!
This is my last full week in a job I have been at for over 13 years. I have offers to go to lunch every day. That will be a challenge.

Yesterday I burned alot of exercise calories, but went to bed hungry and didn't sleep well. This may also be adjusting to a new schedule (I don't have to be in class until 11pm!!)
For the past two weeks, I did lots of walking and other cardio around my schedule and felt completely satisfied with the calories.
But now that I have more time to work out, I have a dilemma. I thought this would be a good thing, but it's hard to exert myself with more intense and longer workout time on the deficit. I set it for losing 2 lbs per week, but I found that I'm hungry and weak.
I don't know if I should change the settings or figure out how to trick my body into doing more with less. I believe it is capable, but losing sleep to hunger doesn't seem right. Yogi bedtime tea didn't even help... and it usually does.
For now I'll accept it as a transition time and work on a solution.1 -

If you are hungry and weak, chances are you’re not eating enough. Maybe add more protein and healthy fat? Just a thought. Hope you feel better soon.1 -
