Previous Question: So far I have lost 15 pounds using the bodybugg, but for the last month I have stayed at my current weight. As I lose weight do I need to keep reducing my calorie intake to lose 1lb a week now that I weigh less?

Answer: If your activity level stays the same (your calorie burn), you will have to reduce your calories consumed as you lose weight if you want to continue to lose. Also, remember that as you become more fit, you'll burn fewer calories during the same activities when all else is equal (duration, intensity, etc.). Any time you reach a plateau, you simply need to move more or eat less.

The most important number to pay attention to in the bodybugg program is the deficit based on measurement changes.  This is how you know what your daily deficit really is, regardless of what your food log says or how many calories you're burning per day.  Anytime you're not losing weight according to your goal, you simply need to move more, eat less, or both.  Always follow the program coach's advice following your measurement input - it will always be correct and keep you on goal. Also, please note that in order to use this tool, you must update your measurements every 7 days.
