Thanks Dan, been following this and guess what, I'm not starving and I'm losing weight!

Another bump, love this!

I read the plan yesterday...I was so frustrated because I was at 1490 cal diet when my bmr is 2410. I was hungry all the time.
I felt like I was just gonna die... then I read this road map 2.0. So I ate 200 calories. Even though it was late. I was way below anyway. I was freaking out this morning when I woke thinking holy cow I bet I gained some weight since I ate then I went to bed.
But to my surprise I lost 1.8 lbs! yay!!! I am going to give this a whirl and see how it goes!

I couldn't eat all of the calories because for once, I was so full! Ha! That's funny right?

Dan,

I want to thank you. I'm only trying to lose about 10 pounds and get back in some clothes that got too tight over the past couple of years while I've been off the fitness wagon due to life circumstances.

Anyway, MFP had me at 1200 which left me starving most days. This had me on a cycle of feeling like I had to kill myself working out all the time to earn enough calories to eat more. So I'd have a cheat day every now and then as a result. I felt unsatisfied and my pants weren't feeling any different. Then I strained my hamstring. Then I found your roadmap. I've been able to bump my calories to 1501 and have been forced to cut my workouts down in intensity...I'm doing mostly barre, Pilates, yoga and some cycling. But no more Jillian for a while.

It's only been about two weeks but my pants feel better and the scale is moving. This just feels right. I don't feel famished or like I'm punishing myself with not eating enough or working out more than I should. But I'm also seeing results which feels really good. So thank you.

Bump for later because I KNOW that DAN is the man!

As others have said - Thanks!!!! Love the plan and the support from everyone. I've been passing the link to the roadmap onto everyone I've come across that's starting out. Like others have said it took a bit to get my mind wrapped around the idea of eating more to lose?!? That pretty much contradicted everything I'd been taught about losing weight. But it's working - little losses so far but the gym comes next week so those little lossess will become big losses shortly. The only thing I would recommend is if you have a lot of weight / inches to lose (ie me 150lbs & lots of inches...lol) to set your goals to smaller increments - first it gives you the satisfaction of meeting a goal sooner and 2nd it reminds you to re-evaluate your numbers more frequently which will keep you on course!

Love & Luck to all of you!!!

Bump womp!
