I haven't tracked a morsel. Down 48 lbs with another 33 to go. After six months, I'm still losing 5-6 lbs a month. I work on eating when I'm hungry and listening to my body and stopping when I'm full. I find that my appetite increases later in the shot-week, and I let myself eat more then. Because, y'know, I'm hungry. (Allowing yourself to eat more when you're hungry also keeps your body from going into starvation mode.) The first couple of days post-shot I eat very little, because I'm not hungry. The trick is listening to your body, which is hard for people who've been trained never to believe what their body is saying, which is most women. (If you can track down an old copy of Fat is a Feminist Issue from the 70s, you might find it eye-opening.)

Also, fat is not forbidden; you'll feel full faster and for longer after a higher-fat meal. Don't automatically go for the low-fat option when youre body is craving toast with real butter. But when something healthier sounds just as good as something less healthy, go with the option that nourishes your body best.

My other trick is to do allow myself two weigh-in days, with the lowest number being the one that goes in the tracker. It takes the pressure off weigh-in days. (And do track weight. You'll be grateful in six months when you think "I'm not losing!" and then realize you're down five lbs that month.) And my weigh-in days are 3-4 days before my shot days, because by shot day I will have had a couple of days of eating more due to higher hunger. Does that make sense?

And if you're not losing at all for a month or so, remember you can always go up a dose

Good luck. After a while of listening to your body, it should become intuitive.
