First full day

I got out of bed excited today. I did Insanity Pure Cardio for about 40 minutes then got on the scale. According to the scale I lost 1.4lbs. In order to lose 1 lb per day I would have to have a deficit of 3,500 calories. My deficit yesterday was only 1,873 calories. I will keep an eye on these numbers. The system will not let me enter a target deficit of more that 1,000 calories, which is the daily deficit one should have for a safe weight loss of 2 lbs per week. I would love to lose more than 2 lbs per week but reaching the deficit required is really hard. I have a new found respect for what the contestants go through on a daily basis. I worked out for over two hours and my calorie burn was 3,300.

I would like to slowly reduce my calorie intake. My daily target is set to 1,500 calories but ideally it should be set to 1,200. I get really hungry when I consume only 1,200 calories and I have to incorporate some protein shakes to achieve that number. I will shoot for 1,200 and see how I feel throughout the day.
