Best of luck to you. :smile:

Hmmm... Yes. It is pain. Unless i eat a cheeseburger, large fry, a coke and a chocolate shake (or similar) it is always there. I just ate (healthy) lunch. The pain (hunger, whatever it is) was there while eating and is still there now.

Nope. No meds.

Typically, I've found that coffee helps curb the hunger and the caffeine amps up my workouts. But maybe i need to reevaluate... Anyway, 2000+ calories today. I've not purchased a scale yet, but i logged everything i ate best guess estimate. I'm very hungry. My stomach is audibly growling. :/

I could eat twice that and and still go to bed with my tummy grumbling. Lucky! How did u attach those pics?

I like to snack on popcorn too. I heard that microwave stuff is really bad though, lots of ingredients. It's actually not hard to make on the stove, cook it in a little coconut oil and just add salt when done. Mmm i think i might have that for dinner tonight... I mean with dinner :)

I love potatoes... Smothered in sour cream :naughty:

Lunch wasn't satisfying so i caved when the candy dish came out at the meeting. Breakfast: at 230 this morning i was awoken by a loud-mouthed drunk who started snoring in my ear after his 12 incoherent half-stories. But i digress. So i was up from 230 on and succumbed to the temptation of the childrens' cereal by 530 (HNC…

How do u attach pics?

Many of the days that are not logged on here were tracked on paper. I would love to eat less. I want to so badly. But even now for example, i just ate 1 & 1/2 bun-less cheeseburgers, 16 oz of water, and 6 mini 3 muskateers (plz dont judge me) and my stomach is still rumbling/i feel VERY hungry. And i ate breakfast today…

I haven't checked my measurements. I just kind of go by the way my clothes fit. I can tell I'm carrying more around my middle (oh, just wait till you turn 35 - I definitely felt different after that b day) and my inner thighs. But what's an accidental recomp?

I usually sleep pretty well. Though last night i didn't and would up eating cereal :/ but then i breezed through my run. Anyway, i think you make good points an will take your advice. Someone else suggested a rest period. I'm starting to believe thats exactly what i need. Along with the scale as others have also suggested.…

Ooo. 1900!!!! I hope you're right! :smiley:

I eat lots of veggies. But fiber might be on the low side because i try to stay away from grains.

Im not losing weight on 1500-1600. Though.... The days I'm sick of being hungry and go off the "diet" i don't log my calories (too depressing) and am probably undoing all my starvation work. Maybe if i shot for 1800 every day, id be happier and would binge less.

Did i read this wrong? A pound is 3000 cal...???

My god! That all looks amazing. My stomach is rumbling so bad now. :) lol!

You got this girl. Use the $h#t outta that gym. I'm 10 lbs from my goal and been stuck here for some time. But w/e. I love the gym. I also love food. :naughty:

I would suggest you high intensity interval training. You said you're running and walking. How hard are you running? Try a peak 8, meaning 8 cycles of 90% effort (sprinting) and corresponding recovery period (walking), for 2 or 3 of your workouts each week.

Lol!

I watched it. I will try measuring more consistently. I've been trying to restrict calories for years. And it has worked for me in the past. It's just been lately that a decline in my metabolism seems to coincide with an increase in my appetite. :/ i think it might be peri-menapausal estrogen withdrawal. :/

I've been at this for YEARS. started my journey at 155 lbs and a size 12. Now, im 140-145 and a size 4 or 6. I'm 37 and can fit in my prom dress. Lol. I can run for hours at a time and lift very heavy weights. A couple years ago, i got down to 128. I was really depressed at the time and was on meds that killed my appetite.…

I dont eat chips (i like pizza, beer, chocolate, and icecream though i fight to refrain most of the time :smile: ). My usual snack is a cucumber. I drink a gallon of water a day. :disappointed: If i ate just 1200 in a day, id be crawling out of my skin/in tears by the end of it.

Hmmm... I'll try anything at this point.

Yeah, thats what im afraid of... :disappointed:

I opened it. I dont always log my stuff here either.

I dont weigh my food. Some of it is eyeballing. But, regardless, im still starving... All the time. If i really dont have a deficit, and i should be eating even less... My appetite disagrees. :anguished:

Obviously. :) i really dislike feeling hungry all the time. I move a lot. It's hard to eat less when every waking moment my stomach is growling. How do i cure that so i eat less??? :)

At this point, I'd gauge my success by the way my clothes fit rather than what the scale says. Don't even step on it for a while. :)
