At the end of my first 30 days of the body bugg I was super frustrated. I had a calorie deficit of about 860 calories, which meant I should have lost weight. But, I didn't. I did loose an inch off my waist and thighs but.. well.. hard to make that seem like enough.
So I am trying out something different. I am trying the 70/30 percent rule. Meaning that weight loss is truly 70% about what you eat and 30% about exercising. I have exercising down so I can do that 30%. My eating has been in deficit levels but it is just not taking. I have to judge what I eat as well. So I am going to put 70% of my strength into watching what I eat.
I will start by going back to the Atkins. I know, its not the hip way to loose a few pounds but it has worked for me in the past before and I need something that works right now. Its frustrating to be doing more exercise than any other girl I know and yet still be one of the largest girls I know. So lets put the focus on food. I will continue to work out as it is a habit for me now but I will give up Carbs for two weeks and then slowly introduce them back into my diet. Within the next two weeks I will also not have beer which is so hard for me because it is part of my social group to have beer, but I got to make a tough change for big changes!

Was the 860 deficit your daily deficit? I wore the old gray one for a year and lost a lot of weight. I swear by them. Only way I can lose weight. The old one wasn't compatible with my new 64-bit computer. Well...I gained the weight back the last year, and I just got the new one this afternoon. I hope it works for you. I don't have to eat any special foods, although I like a lot of fruits and veggies. All I do is eat what I want, log carefully, and make sure every day I have a deficit of 500 calories, but preferably 800-1,000 calories. I will at least lose 1.5 pounds on the latter. And I have a slow metabolism and thought I couldn't lose until I got my bugg. Good luck!

Ooopss, I'm sorry...I just realized that this was a blog from a year ago. I hope you are doing well. I notice that your weight at this time last year is exactly what mine is.
