I know exactly what you mean! I often struggle with that (making sure I get enough calories in) because I know I'm not going to lose if I don't get a good balance. I have the most success when I keep it between 1200 and 1300 with moderate exercise. Looks like you are doing a fantastic job at losing steadily, but I would recommend you try not to go under 1200 very often. Your body really needs that much just for basic functions! It may not come off as fast, but it WILL come off and in a way that is much easier to sustain in the long run. I won't wish you luck cause I know luck has nothing to do with it. It's your hard work and dedication that will get it done, so may the strength to succeed always be at your back and the rewards for you efforts just within your reach! 

Have you ever thought of protein shakes for quick in-between meal replacements? You could even add some yogurt, almond milk, or fruit, etc, to make it more hearty and filling. Most of the day I'm not hungry either, and when I know I need to have something, a protein shake hit's the spot. It's quick and convenient :) Between 7am and 7pm I'll usually have something every 2.5 hours to keep my metabolism stoked whether i'm hungry or not! 

Thanks so Much - these are great suggestions! I might do the protein shakes to bump it up in addition to the jerky, light cheese and baked tofu snacks I make at home. 

Sounds yumm! 

I have the same problem in the summer...and of course, I drink more water, so feel fuller all the time. The suggestions here are awesome! Good luck! 

You are doing so well. Good for you! Metabolism is a crazy thing. Mine is all out of whack. I am really impressed with your weight loss. You must be doing something right! Keep it up! 

It's great to see that you know what you need to do. Sometimes it can be very challenging to UP the calories, because we have a mind set of going lower, lower, lower... it makes sense what you're saying though and I think it might help you. :) 

I'm having problems eating more as well. I've been trying to think of some healthy snacks I could eat. I know I need to eat less sodium. I'm getting way too much. 

Great job, and nice work continuing to think about how your body is responding. I think getting to know our bodies is one of the most significant things we can do to feel at harmony with ourselves during our weight loss journey, rather than trying to "punish" our bodies into submission.
