Getting Dunked - Part 3

Today my full report from FitnessWave came and it was loaded with even more information.

The big take away from my full report was my daily caloric intake for losing weight. The report states that if I want to lose 2 pounds of fat a week, my daily caloric intake should be 1688 calories. Since kicking off Woman vs Fat, I've been targeting about 1400 calories as a max for each day, so I'm nearly 300 calories short of what my body needs.

Today I targeted eating 1688 calories - lean protein, high fiber carbs, low fat dairy - and I found I couldn't eat all the food allowed. Tomorrow, I'm going to make some selections a little higher in fat to up the calories with less volume of food and see how that goes.

It's the end of the day and I can tell by my clothes I'm smaller... and I'm not hungry!

I think I'm on to something!

Okay - so I've got my plan for the physical aspects of losing FAT... stay tuned for next time because we'll start talking about the mental and emotional sides of this battle.

Finally, I went and found an old pic of me from my youth - I'm going to use it to help me stay motivated in losing FAT!
