I have been really hungry since last night. I'm down another pound today and I actually went 500 calories over yesterday because I was SO hungry. My calories are up to almost 1500 day compared to when they were 1200 and I am actually hungrier than I was then, not sick and dizzy, but hungry. Maybe that means my metabolism is working. Anyone know???

    Im starving today also. I wont give in though, I just ate my lunch a little earlier than I normally do. For me I am saying it is because I am making myself do more every day yet I have been eating less and less so I would say its normal for me to be hungry. I have maintained today by pushing the water. When my mind starts to focus on the fact that I am hungry I DO SOMETHING else to take up my time from thinking about it. Just some thoughts, it seems it might be something in the air today I've noticed a lot of folks saying the same thing....IM HUNGRY!

    Best of luck to you!

    Thanks Peggy. You are right about trying to do something so that you don't think about being hungry. I am usually not as hungry in the day time when I can stay busy and active but at night, when I have to be quiet, I just can't ignore my stomach. I guess that I will have to stick with my old theory of if my stomach is growling, yea!!, it's shrinking, lol.

    I do think you are right, on some days we are just hungry, and I also take that as a sign that my metabolism is gearing up.

    I would have to agree. I am also having a hungry day. I am really really craving protein! I don't think I've ever craved it this much...at least not that I can remember. I don't want to go over my calories. I didn't eat much last week due to sickness so I am assuming my body needs it. I don't have many calories left today so I can't snack on nuts as much as I'd like to. I am tempted to call my hubby and tell hm to bring home some steaks for dinner. LOL

    I bought some yummy peanut butter chocolate chip rice cakes. 60 calories a cake. Really good and since I had so many calories left over (I knew what I was going to eat for dinner and had it inputed already), I ate 3!! I could not even finish my dinner a few hours later. I went from being hungry to being stuffed. I'm hoping that I don't go back and finish my dinner or want to eat anymore for the day. I mean,if I am full, I don't have to eat my calories right??
