Day10: 90 days trial, counting my calories to accelerate my weight loss

I feel so frustrated and do not understand why my weight loss does not keep on. I have weighted myself all the week-end and on Saturday (we are Thursday today) my weight increased and has been stable and high since!!! 

For some unexplained reasons! I had lost about 4 pounds in less than a week, was happy and hoping for the best, but my weight increased of 3 pounds, leaving me with a low score of only 1 pound lost, which is far below the object if of 3 to 5 pounds a week. 

I have taken my green coffee extract very consistently though and do not understand why this is happening to me. I am still in the middle of my pills and should not be taking water weight due to my periods!!!!!!!

One of my best friends has managed to lose 9 pounds in 3 weeks and I am stuck with my 1 lbs when I should have lost close to 8 pounds now!!!!!!!!!

So I have decided to Fight and reduce my food intake ore significantly. Livestrong website has some advises regarding a 4 lbs/week diet. See link : http://www.livestrong.com/article/57552-lose-lbs-week-diet/.

1. you have to calculate how many calories a day you should be eating using the formula provided below.
Females use a different equation:
655 + (4.7 x height) + (4.35 x weight) - (4.7 x age)

According to this calculation, my Calories allowance per day should be no more than : 1430/day to maintain my weight.

2. you have to reduce your diet of 500 calories per day for each lb of fat lost per week. So, if I want to loose 4 lbs a week, it means I have to reduce my calories intake of 2000 calories... Impossible!!!!!!!!!
I have decided to target to loose 2 lbs a week instead and cut only 1000 calories per day, leaving me with 430 calories per day. Does that sound realistic? Not really!!!!

3. I am going to try to write my menu for everyday in order not to start craving and eating any junk food available. I am planning to eat a lot of greens, vegetables, tofu, edamame, low fat dairy and some lights fruits: pears, oranges, grapefruits and reduce meat to poultry with no more than 6oz/meal.


I am working on my weekly diet right now and will share as soon as available.
Also, NO chocolate cake for today, even if it is Valentines day.
Finally, I have also joined a gym and went exercising everyday since Monday, 4 days, so far!

If you have already tried green coffee bean extract, please share your experiences with me. have I been doing something wrong? I am desperate to lose my extra 25 pounds and really need it to work this time.

  3. Counting calories is a such a hectic job. How easy would it be if a person doesn't have to count anything, a just a cup of green coffee would do it all for you. Losing weight wouldn't be any easier then. Thanks for sharing this useful information.
