Feeling bummed that i had to up my calories to feel full

I know I shouldn't feel bothered by this since overall I am doing good and losing. When I started it automatically set me to lose 1lb a week and I couldn't believe how much I could still eat and thought it was even too much, so when I saw I could change it I switched to 2lbs. I was doing ok with the amount of calories, but lately I have been feeling a lot hungrierand today I switched it to 1.5lbs. I feel disappointed in myself somehow that I am failing by doing so.

While doing a search earlier I came across this someone posted... " 75lbs or more: Choose to lose 2lbs/week 40-75 pounds: Choose to lose 1.5lbs/week 25-40 pounds: Choose to lose 1lb/week 15-20 pounds: Choose either 1/2lb or 1lb Less than 15/20 pounds: choose 1/2 lb/week"

I have nearly 100 pounds to lose, so according to that I should be doing the 2lbs. And I know any little bit I am doing is still better than nothing...

I'd love to hear some opinions, thanks

Are you eating back your exercise logged calories so you keep only that 2lb weekly goal?

That is indeed decent for you now, but not recommended to do more than that much per week. So if you exercise and don't eat it back, you are creating a bigger deficit, and likely aren't giving your body what it needs to make any improvements from the exercise.
In which case, why exercise.

Also be aware if you are leaning towards problems with insulin, low blood sugar after you eat could leave you feeling hungry, even though you don't need more food.
Just need more protein and fat with everything you eat, and before you eat the carbs possibly.

You know, I'd almost put it the other way around... at least to start.

Look, if getting to your breaking point (and by "your" I mean EVERYONE who decided to give some attention to their caloric intake) you were eating even more than maintenance i.e. you were gaining weight steadily, reversing the process is the first step.

For some I'd say get to where you can eat maintenance calories and feel satisfied and live a normal life. Then reduce your calories so you'll lose 1/2 a pound a week. Once you get the hang of that, reduce it more... to lose 1 lb a week.

It's not a race; it's your life. You need to live it. Nothing wrong with setting your goal to 1.5 lbs or even 1 lb... I started here and set my goal to lose 1/2 a pound weekly. I lost 8.5 lbs in 5 weeks that way.

Best thing to do is set a goal you can achieve with a bit of effort. No sense in setting one that takes everything you've got to make it. That's not living.

You will do better when you use this site to find lower calorie foods. Once you start eating less then it'll actually take less to fill you up. Egg whites and and apple for breakfast, tune and salad for lunch, Swai and corn for dinner. You can do it. Even if you have to baby yourself into it.

its all bout self control. exercise and diet. most think that fast weight loss is bad and dangerous.. which it isnt, unless your not getting what you need. i have lost 150 lbs since last june. but when you are use to eating alot...you are going to be hungry when you start your weight loss process..thats just the way it is. if your full for the most part, i would say your eating to much. but if your recording what you eat religously and your within your numbers then great.. but dont eat tell your full if you can help it. i was at a 1200 cal diet for 5 months..then last couple of months do to sickness and holidays i increased it for a while..but now i am getting back down to where it should.. so i can hit my goal of 108 lbs in next 4 months.
