All I might suggest is changing it up a bit. Maybe add in a circuit training one day instead of straight up weight lifting?

Jenn's got it right (as per usual). Keep up the good training with weight lifting - no need to change it up. As you may have read, it's a lot harder to lose weight once you are in the healthy area (which you are, even if it's not as small a number as you'd like). The 15% deficit will help and you'll find your strength gains going up, up, up...which means you'll lose fat more readily than muscle. Keep an eye on your protein intake - should be around 1 gram per lb of lean muscle mass (or .8 grams per body weight), especially on lifting days. I'm 147 and I eat a minimum of 100 grams of protein but up it to around 130+ on lifting days.

Well, the bodymedias are pretty accurate for most people I think, more so than fitbits. Although my BMF did overestimate my calorie burn quite a bit and I don't wear it anymore for that reason. You just have to try it though and see how your body does with the calories, making sure to give your body long enough to adjust to see a trend, whether up, down or even.

It really depends on your history and how your body reacts to the additional calories. For those that have restricted for a long time (usually 6 months or longer), we recommend a full reset which is 9-12 weeks eating at FULL maintenance calories (not including the time it take to get there), so it is a longer process but very much needed for those that need to heal their metabolisms. Eating at maintenance for that long is what heals your metabolism so cutting it short could hinder your efforts. You could go on your cruise and then try the 2400 when you get back for several weeks and see how you do (6 weeks or so). If you're not seeing any progress at that level, it may indicate you need to eat at maintenance longer and do more of a full reset.

@kmac1196, in addition to all the great advice I'd also recommend not too comepletely let yourself go on the cruise foodwise. Reset usually implies raising your calories slowly by about 200 every 1-2 weeks to give your body time to adapt, this way you have a good chance of not gaining weight (I've finished my reset recently almost without gain, but it took me about 10 weeks to go from 1400 to 2500). Cruises usually offer a good selection of healthy food too, so contrlling your intake shouldn't be so hard. I don't mean track everything, I just mean stay away from that 3rd portion of free ice cream. And keep lifting!

What's the harm in doing a reset? I didn't do a reset (cause I didn't eat a LCD) but I did want to figure out my TDEE and I took 4 months to do so. That's only 4 months out of the many years I'm going to be living, and it means that I know what I can eat to maintain my weight right now and also how much to eat to lose weight while eating as much as I can eat. We're not in a race here! You can do it and it's so worth it.

Sounds good to me. Have you checked out the website? There's a place where we post journals and it's great for getting support and just reading other people's good times and bad. Here's the link to mine (I have a different name) and then you can check out others or decide to post one yourself: http://forums.eatmore2weighless.com/showthread.php?tid=11798

Read everything on the board - look at the success stories. It works. I'm losing weight. I'm not doing mad amounts of cardio, I'm not underestimating my food because I weight it all (or measure liquids) when I can. The typical dieter does overestimate theit 'burn' and underestimate their food intake, but most of us on here aren't typical dieters, so I don't agree that you have to undereat to make up for this. The TDEE method works for us. I don't even care what my burn is as I KNOW what my TDEE is from actually eating calories and seeing if I gain or lose weight!!!

One more thing...have you calculated your TDEE using the Scooby site to see if it lines up with what your BodyMedia is telling you? I think I mentioned before, my BMF did overestimate my calorie burn and I don't wear it anymore for that reason. For most, they are pretty accurate, but I have seen where they did not work well for some. Keeping this in mind, you can use Scooby to calculate as well and see if the numbers are similar. BMF is really good at measuring your daily activity (NEAT) - something we all tend to underestimate as it is outside of formal exercise and we just aren't always sure how to count it. But at minimum, I would go with the numbers Scooby gives you as your TDEE and 15% deficit and work upwards to those calories goals slowly.

BodyMedia is not all it's hyped up to be for about half the users. The sensors don't work well. And for non-step based stuff like lifting, those extra sensors don't do squat.

To see if the sensor's work well for you, look at your daily graph where it shows calories burned per minutes, not METS, calories.

Find average for sleeping time. Like if it bounces between 1.1 and 1.2 evenly, you know it's trying to show 1.15.
1.15 x 1440 = 1656 BMR it's using for example.

Now find some movie time with sitting not moving, but awake.
What is the average calorie burn time per minute there?
Do the same math, should be higher by decent amount.

Those comments about over estimating burns and underestimating eaten - those are based on what perspective?
Several studies have indeed shown that in free form logging - logging at end of day, or when you remember, estimating quantities, ect - does indeed result in under-estimating.
Is MFP going to help with that?

I'd love to see their research that people overestimate what is burned, and by how much.
I'm not shocked how many get a Fitbit and first day had no idea they burned calories sleeping. Their only awareness of calorie levels is eating or seeing advice to eat 1200 to lose weight.
With no concept of what was eaten by themselves to gain weight. No idea at all of calorie levels.

I do know that almost everyone but maybe 3 people that have used that IIFYM's to see estimated daily burn have found it badly underestimates their daily burn based on actual results, here on MFP when I've seen ones comment. And results trump estimates.

As to the research that eating at a reasonable deficit is better than an extreme deficit.
All you have to do is start reading the start of any study on weight loss, and it seems no matter what aspect they are specifically researching, they comment out of hand regarding the fact of adaptive thermogenesis is going to happen, or to explain why it seems it didn't in unusual cases.

Here's comments on a bunch of studies. The one that shows no slowdown, they figured as commented above - the poor food logging meant they didn't have as much deficit as they were supposed to have - basically saving themselves.

Oh, your panic on weight gain of a mere 0.2 lbs, which I'm betting is actually within the inaccuracy limits of the scale anyway.
Be prepared for mental and emotional trouble if that panics you. Just realistic warning.

Was today a valid weigh-in day? If you want to weigh every day and they aren't valid, then you'll need 2 months worth of all that noisy data to actually get a trend line to try to figure something out.

Use only valid days, and as a woman, 4 weeks will be good enough.

Valid weigh-in day to minimize known expected water fluctuations.
Morning after rest day eating normal sodium levels, not sore from last workout.

And always do the math for any fast changes to prove to yourself they are merely water weight, can't be fat.

LBs of change x 3500 / days of change = difference between eating level and TDEE to cause that change.

So it would take eating 250 calories OVER maintenance or true potential TDEE to slowly gain 1 whole pound. And if good lifting routine, not even all fat.
Reread that to appreciate that fact.

If EM2WL doesn't feel right (TDEE-15%), then don't follow it. It appears you are trying to find information which fits with the low cal dieting that much of the industry sells and sells and sells. I have done that in the past and I regained my weight over and over. I'm now doing this and I'm happy. I eat a lot more than a lot of people and still lose weight. And I know how to eat at maintenance because I was there for a while and it's something I can do for life.

And I'm doing a cut at 1925 (and had luck previously with a cut at 2150 - but I'm working out less now), a female friend is doing a cut at 3000 calories, and you can find all the information you want to fit with your own mindset. Seriously, I would figure out what you want to do and just try it out.
