Hey Everyone,

Today is 5 weeks... wow, that went quick. Thank God because I was full of regret the first week only because I felt sorry for myself that I had to get to this point. Anyway, I am down 34 pounds, started at 311, today 277. I think I am doing well.

Been walking as much as possible, will get in the gym by the New Year (my gym closed, new one was supposed to open Dec 15th, but is delayed). Doctor cleared me to eat whatever, just to,be cautious, I'm doing a good a job. However I find that I am still hungry.

I get my 64-70 of Protein, drink more than 64% of Water and take my Vitamins. I thought the hunger would kind of go away. At this point it doesn't seem to be. My plan is pretty strict with 3 meals a day and 2 Snacks, trying to stick to that.

Anyone further along and still hungry?

It sounds like you are doing great! How do you get your protein in? I am struggling with it.

I had mine Nov 9th. I am hungry too. I get my Protein and Water in.

I think I need to start eating more cooked vegetables but find I want to fill up on the protein first then no room for the veggies.

I can't tolerate shakes anymore.

Anyone have suggestions when you are hungry?

You are doing a lot of exercising. Maybe you need more food to get your metabolism going.

Have you tried cutting back on spinning just to see what would happen? You have to be toning pretty good right?

I feel your pain because I am hungry and can drink water fast and eat too. I just force myself not to eat often because I will fall back in the same old trap as before.

I thought this hunger would be gone!

Sorry about what you are going thru. Just try to mix it up and see if that works.

I met with my nutritionist yesterday, she indicated I may need more protein. Also that our bodies only can absorb so much protein an hour, so if your drinking a protein shake and it has 35 grams and it only takes you 40 minutes to drink it, your are not getting the maximum amount of protein out of it. Which I guess makes sense.

Thanks so much for the support I'm gonna keep going and stay positive and maybe slow it down it's just hard bc it took forever for me to finally do it and then be here meanwhile it took forever to get my husband on board I just don't want to hear blacklash and I'm already hard on my self I felt like I failed before and I'm starting to feel like I failed before I even got a chance
