    Oh, and deedeehawaii - you couldn't be more right, this should NOT be this hard! Especially for someone who genuinely likes healthy foods. I imagine it's related to why I have the extra 10 lbs. in the first place. And probably why the rest of my family (who do not live in the city and have to drive everywhere) is obese.

    And, the closer to the goal weight, the slower the progress. That makes those last few pounds seem to drag on forever [insert my name here, ha]. Because the less you weigh, the less calories it takes to just maintain weight. That leaves little room for working in a calorie deficit.
    You will do good, you have shown interest in figuring out what you can improve or change, and that will get you to your goal. :)

    I can make it to lunch if I have protein in the morning. I usually have an egg, 1/2 a slice of cheese, and a piece of turkey bacon on a sandwich thin for breakfast and it really helps get me to lunch.
    I did notice that I was hungry every two hours when I first started. I drank alot of water and tried to make sure I had enough protein. As time went on I did feel better and felt more full on the food I ate. Try adjusting things around and eat alot of low cal, low fat foods. I made some minor changes that made all the difference in what I could eat and how I felt. Now I feel like I'm eating all of the time. Salad with low cal dressing is really filling with very little in the way of calories. I used to add a small side salad to my lunch every day. Good luck and if you're really feeling bad, you might ask your doctor for some guidance.

    Water DOES help! I may be about to give in to some Crystal Light too (I normally don't have fake sugar either).

    Crystal Light just came out with a new product called "Pure Fitness" that is all natural. No fake sugar or anything else fake and it is only 15 calories. I think it's pretty good, you may want to try that.

    I am so glad you said that . I am allergic to aspertame so I normally avoid all of those drinks. It will be nice to be able to change it up once and a while

    You biggest meals for the day should be breakfast and lunch. Then a light dinner. I have same problem. I think it's adjusting to a lower calorie count. I feel better some days than others. But I am happy I am losing weight. Keep it up.
