12 weeks out and appetite is back?
Hi I'm about 12 weeks out as well.
I found that as soon as I wasn't strict with my diet or I didn't get enough water that day I would get my appetite back. How has your water and diet been?

Hang in there too! At your stage, I was also doing "water checks". When I was hungry, i would ask myself how much water I had had, and if it wasn't a meal or snack time, i would have a glass of water before i allowed myself to eat. Often the hunger passed. If it didn't, then i ate something.
Sounds like you're doing the right things and making good choices. Your restriction will come. Then it will be head hunger you'll deal with. A different struggle!! But you won't be hungry anymore. :)

Water gets easier too. Everything gets easier. Make a conscious effort to sip through the day. All calorie free liquid counts. Water, tea, coffee, flavoured water (zero calorie), etc. I carry my water bottle everywhere I go. Sips add up!!

One of the NUTs at the Ottawa Hospital gave us a trick that may work. If you boil your water and then let it cool, it may be easier for you. Don't know why but it works for some people.

I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
I went through a short period where I was hungry!! I would say 12 weeks sounds about right. Measure, weigh... stay the course. Your restriction and feeling of fullness will kick in soon and all will be well again!!! I couldn't overeat now if I tried!!! I'd be sick! Hang in there. :)

This is absolutely normal. Read Diminishing Dawn's recent post. The threat of regain and stalls is real because of this.
