    The suggestions that everyone else has made are all great ways to help curb you stay under calories. Exercising, drinking more water (did you know that your body can actually confuse dehydration with hunger?), eat more protein and veggies. One other thought that I had is that you may be cutting your calories too much. I don't know what you set your weight loss goal to, but if it's set to lose 2 pounds a week, then maybe that's too much calorie cutting for you at this time. Remember that the goal is not to lose as much as you can as quickly as you can. It takes time and discipline to reach your weight loss goals. In fact, you could start off with a goal of 1 pound a week and then as it gets easier, move up to 1.5 pounds a week and then 2 pounds a week. Slow and steady wins the race! Best of luck! :)

    I couldn't imagine eating less that 1200 cals a day... it doesn't seem physically possible... let alone "not being hungry" at under 1200... I mean, what on earth are you eating, polystyrene?!

    I come in under my cals possibly 30-40% of the time (goal is 1400) and if I've over it's by 50-250... if I'm under, it's by less than 50! This isn't counting exercise cals - if I add them, it's cake time! :-D

    I'm glad the I am not the only one who exercises to earn more calories! =0)

    I wish I loved exercise, and I am trying to learn to love it, but it is definitely a work in progress...

    I am struggling quite a bit lately to stay within my daily calorie limit, and have gone over too many times. My weight has stayed at 172-174 for a month now because of this, but at least I am not gaining weight!

    I also do not understand those folks on here who post about having a hard time eating enough calories (how do you get overweight if you are not eating too much???) - I wish I had that problem!!!

    Hopefully I will get back on track with my calorie limit soon, and best of luck to everyone else on here who is working at it as well!!!
