Much hungrier within last ten pounds?

[PheonixJo]

Does anyone experience more hunger when within the last ten pounds of target weight? How do you cope with this?

I'd love to be able to help you out here, Jo, but I haven't got that close to goal! I've had periods along my journey, where I've felt hungrier than at other times and have had to readjust the balance been intake and exercise, as one can counteract the other.

Have you checked your calorie allowance? Don't be tempted to eat too little, as that can be counterative, too.

I hope someone with more personal experience can help you out.

Not experienced this, best to fill up on eggs/ veg and refocus! Sometimes your body just tells you east it needs

Hi PheonixJo I am at the same stage as you. I lost 3 stone last year and want to lose another 10 pounds or so. I have increased my activity in the form of the walk workout by Leslie Sansone, but haven't lost anything since starting this a few weeks ago. I love chocolate, and up until now have been able to include it into my diet. So it looks like my treat has to bite the dust so to speak. I suppose we should be positive as we have had a good amount of weight loss that we've achieved so far, we just need to keep focused on the rest of our small goal.

Good luck and keep thinking positively.

I'm looking to increase my exercise, and maybe I have to drop the choc a bit at night
