Many moons ago in 2006, I weighed 16?.?. I wanted to lose weight. I very much believed in the calorie deficit idea. I created an Excel spreadsheet which was very detailed and also logged my food in Excel.
i looked back at this log and found an interesting theme.
My goal was 1400 cs, back then, I just thought you had to increase your activity and slightly monitor your calorie intake
The worksheet had the following values: Goal cs. was in between wt and Actual Cs on the worksheet. It was always 1400. (i did real good sticking to that
date wt Actual Daily activity Daily def. Total Def. lbs lost

Well, it was almost 4 years ago, but maybe just maybe if I use the same principles, that I was just touching on back then..my weight loss will pick back up. Back then, I did this for 2 months, then gave up. Boy did I like to give up.
It's worth a shot.
