Does anyone feel like me?

I also hate feeling hungry and having to go to bed like this. I drink a glass of water before & after dinner and right before bed but now it makes me get up to pee 2-3 times at night. How many calories are u eating? Maybe u are burning way more than u should? I had my calories at 1200 and was too hungry,:sad: then brought it up to 1250...still hungry, :grumble: 1300 wanted more and now finally 1350 and I think I'm good! I suggest u play around with the numbers a bit. My only problem is eating too much carbs (rice and pasta, which i love) but I will make better choices/alternatives for low-carb foods. Oh i also changed my % to 50Carbs/20Protein/30Fat. Hang in there my friend.. u are not alone. It will take some time to adjust! :flowerforyou:

I have lost 7lbs, but like you my clothes don't fit any different. I'm just trying to stick with it and not focus on losing weight, but focusing on training myself to eat because I'm hungry not because I want to. This all will pay off, but it may take awhile.

I'm sorry you feel discouraged. I have definitely been there.
On nights I feel hungry, I have a cup of tea or extra water and go over my diary for the day and make a note not to eat those food choices / combination again noting how hungry I was. I also try to set some mini goals for myself with non food / calorie rewards.
If you are doing what you know you need to be doing then celebrate the success of the day with a mini reward meaningful to you. No matter how discouraged you may feel for the moment, you're better off than before you started doing anything at all.
Hope this helps

Some people lose first in their face or arms so they don't notice a change in clothes fitting differently. Don't get discouraged sweetie...we all lose and gain weight in different areas at a different rate. Keep up the good work and you will see a change.

That's the pits! I've been there. Definitely look at your food diary and see if you have eaten too many "empty" calories. Packaged items or treats take up a lot of calories but don't give you much fuel. It is more difficult when you are down to your last 10-20 pounds, but you can still lose 1-2 pounds a week. If your body is getting used to what you're doing, you can plateau. Try 1200 calories one day and 1400 the next, and so on. Keep in mind that 1200 calories is considered pretty extreme. Most women who exercise should be around 1300-1400. A pound is 3500 calories, so you have to create a 7000 calorie deficiit every week to lose 2 pounds---that is NOT easy to do! Be patient with your weight loss. Also, crank up the intensity, not the duration, of your workouts. If you do sustained walking or jogging, try sprint intervals instead--you can do fast intervals on an elliptical too. You should be uncomfortable when you exercise---difficult to speak in complete sentences. If you haven't added strength training, this will also help your metabolism and progress. Muscle burns more calories than fat, even at rest. It also looks better in jeans Stick with it--what's the alternative? The only way out is through! You can do it!
