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!
