    I feel your pain. I'm in the process of my fourth or fifth major yo yo loss. This time I've lost 90 of 120. Currently fighting off plateau frustration. God, I hope I never have to do this again. Not sure what a stone is, but good luck to you Sammake it happen! You can do it!!!

    Have you found the root cause for your yo-yo dieting pattern? Is your dieting goal too aggressive? Have your tried a more gradual approach and set a goal that you can sustain long term? Perhaps paying attention to macro nutrients would help for satiety if you've only been tracking calories only?

    thank you Elize-you're doing great!
    a stone is 14lbs in the UK, so you have lost over 6 stones, that is awesome!

    Sounds like a good plan! I know that foods high in protein, fat and fiber are quite satiating. Experiment to find out what foods satisfy your hunger and what foods make you even more hungry (trigger foods). Also, pay attention to hydration. I know for me, my body will send me a hungry signal when I'm actually thirsty.
