Struggling! Hungry all the time and I mean hungry! Must find a solution. Been exercising more and working outside in the gardens all day. The hunger is driving me insane. Not sure how to combat the appetite. Floundering.
Maybe increase the calories a bit to adjust for your increased activity? It's better to continue to lose slowly than to fall off the wagon altogether. I think I read that you were eating 1200 calories a day. That is very low. Also, if you increase the calories you might be able to bust through the plateau. Some have been successful at getting through a plateau by "confusing" the body by alternating higher and lower calorie days.
Anyway, I understand how hard it is and hope that you'll find a solution.
I'm right there with you most days. I look at the scale and go, there's nothing else I can cut out, and I'm hungry and not losing. I hear ya!! I have about 50 pounds to go, so we're pretty well diet twins.
I am back from vacation. Now I'm trying to catch up on well everything and trying to get rid of all that sand, snicker.
Anyhow, Mrs D. what if you did hit a plateau??? What about changing everything all together, you know keep your body guessing. Eat differently and try a different form of excercise? That's what I think I will try. I weighed myself for the 1st time since vacation this morning and I gained 3 pds but it is also that time of the month so it will probably go down(praying it will still do that). Oh and sulli I still have your gift. I didn't get your addy before going on vacation so if you send me an email I will ship it out asap. mcalhaney@hotmail.com

ReplyDeleteI agree with Sabine. I've head the same thing about tricking your body. Keep going. You can do this!
