I did 1,300 calories out of my 1,600 calorie goal today. My FitnessPal has me on a goal of 1.5 pounds per week, and I've successfully lost 8 pounds over 5 weeks so it's true to the app. The SlimFast in the morning to replace breakfast really helps as well.
I do about 300 calories of cardio at the gym twice a week and it's really been helping. Working out at home is pretty hard to discipline myself to do. I bought the JustDance game that works on my Playstation and have a camera to track my movements, but I am yet to try it. Tomorrow is supposed to be a rainy day, so it would be a good day to start.
I think the reason I am not losing weight as fast as I would like is because I needed a stricter steadier exercise routine to burn these calories and really work up a sweat. In the past, when I was younger, that's how I shed a lot of the pounds I used to carry.
