New to EM2WL-need advice

joshandjennyk

Hi all,

I am 36 years old, and new to the EM2WL. I cut my calories to 1000-1200 and working out to Jillian MIchael's dvds, plus some extra weight training 3x a week and running once a week about 2 years ago and lost 35 pounds (160 down to 125). I have kept it off, but over the last couple of months my weight was starting to creep up no matter what I did, increasing workouts, trying to decrease cals further. I stumbled upon EM2WL and think a metabolic reset is what I need. About a month ago I started increasing my cals by about 100 a day. Still doing the same amount of exercising. I am up to 1600-1700 now, the EM2WL calculator says I should be at about 1850, my fit bit says that my avg daily burn is closer to 2000. Just wondering which I should aim to be closer to and also how much weight I might expect to gain by the time I reach that, so far in the last month I've gained about 2 pounds (now at 131). I'm ok with that but don't want to get much higher. I keep my macros around 40/30/30 and eat whole, non processed foods (the majority of the time). Also, any other advice on how to get to where I need to be is appreciated.

I think the best place to get the correct advice is the EM2WL forum
