Stuck in the 160s

Heather68462

Hello everyone! I have had a lot of success using Myfitnesspal, eating right, and exercise. I have lost 30 pounds since November 30, 2011. My goal was 40 pounds for this year. However, I have been stuck right at 166 since May 19. Sometimes I dip to 162, sometimes I gain to 168. My problem is I am hungry! lol I have to eat at least my 1440 calories in order to feel not starving. I should not "eat back" my calories when I exercise, but I am just so hungry. I try to drink water, wait to see if hunger passes, etc, but in the end, Im still hungry. Anyone ese ever struggle with this? If in my lifetime (preferrably by Nov 30) I could hit 156 pounds, I would stay there for life! At this point, though, looks like it will never happen. Its been a dream of mine for 20 years to be in the 150s for weight.
