Eating enough or to much!

Hi, I've just pasted my year anniversery and have lost 120 pounds!  But I've really had to work at it, in the beginning the lost was really great for about 4 months then I began to slow down, normal right but with me I really had to change my eating and exercising to get the weight off, I eat 3 meals no snacks and about 90+ protein.  I also exercise 3-4 days a week.  I figured half of my problem is I'm Hypothroid but it seems I'm struggling just to get a half pound off.  What I'm now experiencing is alot of hunger after meals, I have about 1 1/2 cups per meal but I'm still hungry..is this head hunger?  Am I really hungry? Do I need to add more protein to stop the hungrier..  I'm just at a lost.  I like to lose another 60 pounds and I feel like it won't happen if I don't get my eating habits under control. Your advice will greatly appreciated!! Vera

Hi Vera,  Congrats on losing 120#. It sounds like it' s been a challenge to keep weight off for you. I wouldn't expect that to change. Your protein sounds more than adequate so I'm not sure adding more protein would be of help. Are you snacking? That might help w/ the hunger at meal times. What to you typically do after eating? Are you keeping food journals? This has proven to be very successful for long-term weight loss. You might need to increase your exercise. Do you do any weight bearing exercises? This will burn more calories for you. The current recommendation is to excercise every day for at least 30 minutes at a moderate level. Upping your exercise might help spark some more weight loss.

I hope this helps! Good luck,
