I started New Rules Of Lifting For Women on the 6th of Jan. I started trying for a deficit of -300 calories every day. I tend to eat a lot more during the weekend. So, if I average a whole week my caloric defecit is about -100.

It has been 4 weeks and I have not seen ANY change in my body. Actually, I have gotten stronger but thats about it. I hate the scale so this is based on the mirror and the way my clothes fit. I have not taken second measuements but dont plan on doing that until I complete stage one.

Should I try harder with my deficit? Be more strict? Or reduce the amount of calories I am allotted each day? Do I wait longer to see how it goes? I am just so confused with this "Lose weight by lifting". I see that it works but it seems to me women just say "Hey! It worked!" I feel like I need clear directions that arent in the NROL$W book. Because the book isn't really focusing on weight loss but more about eating healthy and getting strong.

I also hope I put this in the correct category... Didnt think it went in fitness because I mentioned calories or whatever....

    I was also wondering if a 300 calorie deficit is okay. Can I do more?

    Just so discouraged because I feel like I have been trying SOOOO hard but trying isnt working.
