Like I have said, many times, when I was losing weight, my Dr only allowed me to eat carbs until I lost 75% of my weight. When I added carbs the weight loss slowed down. Now when I gained a lb, that day I watch my carb intake. Good luck

73 lbs in 7 months is excellent!!!!!!!!!!!! Our bodies need to go through periods of readjustment. Be patient, go back to basics, and relax. The weight will come off.

I don't know if you are aware but not only upping your exercize program but you need to up your protein as well. I agree that you need to watch carbs.As well increase your water intake as well. Also you might not have thought of this but I always get 2-3 days that I am really hungry just before my period. NORMAL!! I have lost 102 lbs since Feb 2010 and have 40 to go . SO be aware that as you get closer it slows down.

You need to determine if it's an emotional hunger based on what's going on in your personal life (what's bothering you? etc....) I learned thru the years that my emotions get the best of me and trigger hunger when I don't face my issues, problems and try to find a comfortable solutions. Hungers soem time mean a copin mechanism to something I don't want to deal with. Please feel free to contact me if you need specific help and support. Good Luck in your journey. Stay focused and this hunger shall pass.

Have you heard about head hunger? You are probably having head hunger and most of us go through. Or perhaps you aren't hungry but thirsty. Really pay attention to your stomach, and if it really growls and you have actual hunger pangs, then drink water first, then if that doesn't work, after paying attention again, then try a small snack (healthy). You should get into the habit of really "listening" to what your stomach is telling you, not what your head is telling you. I call that head hunger a food demon..........It will get you if you let it, then your weight loss is slowed down. Hope it works out for you.

I am doing the biggest loser dvds one of them is 50min the other is 65min.I do them back to back.I got to do what I got to do to finally see some weight lost. Its like workout and walking 4 miles a day.
