One of the reasons you may be getting a bit more hungry maddy ... could be because you're been doing that treadmill consistently, built up a bit more muscle (which burns more calories) and probably have speeded up your metabolism just a bit (that happens more and more the more you consistently work the muscles) ... so you're burning through calories faster (that you have eaten) ... that's a good thing as far as the coming weeks, etc. for weight loss, but I know from past experience, it is also a hard adjustment as your body wants more food. It's good that you are working at giving it the healthier foods!!!

IAKG ... you always have great ideas ... thanks!!

Lil ... what a relief!!! I understand that "ah ha!" that comes when you find out that it isn't just that you've lost all control .... it's just the hormones took control temporarily ... great to have you back with us!! For the same reason, I've been dreading the next couple of days, cause I'm right at that point myself ... I'm hoping this time for me will be a bit easier than the last one!

Oh and by the way, stayed in my range, BARELY ... I had all of 15 calories or so to spare!
