Hi there. Just wanting to gripe some. I started the week off with a great loss but have been having a hard time this week. I started to feel hungry all the time again. I am not due to weigh in yet but I know I have gained weight. Because of this I am fighting urges of just giving up for the week. I am my own worst enemy. Hope you all are having a better week.

I think occasionally gaining is part of the process of losing weight...we all have bad weeks. Particularly for women, hormone and water retention play havoc with weight loss and appetite. Try not to get frustrated...sometimes it's 2 steps forward and 1 step backwards but you'll get there in the end.

If you are hungry a lot maybe slow release energy foods like protein and low GI carbs would be good? Are you restricting calories and doing portion control? If so maybe some of the people following those approaches can give you some tips.

Thank you Lupin. I have been using portion control and carb counting. I am diabetic so I have to have low, healthy carbs. I just haven't been very good at choosing more lean proteins this week and had a couple of cookouts where carbs were easily available. Time for me to tighten up again. :)

You are not alone. I go thru this too. I do portion control and at times I just start binging. It derails the whole system, but we are human and it just happens. I found it is best to get on track, even if in middle of the day and not have the mindset that I blown it so I will continue it for a while. When we have hunger spurts like this, best to think healthy and at least eat whats good for us.
Have a great week.

This is exactly what I'm going through right now as well. It's super frustrating but just try and get back on track. And know that I'm right there with ya!
Best of luck!
