Introduction for New Members
Hi I am a 43 year old Aussie women who has been on MFP for 42 days now. I need to lose about 100 pounds or 50 kilos. I started off with 1200 calculated by MFP to lose 1 kilo a week but after two weeks of this started to experience gallbladder symptons. Increasing my calorie intake to 1440 a day had the gallbladder pain…

It's working!
I started EM2WL about a month ago, but at first I gave up my HRM and didn't log ANY exercise. Ate 2000 calories per day, every day. Nada. In fact I had a naughty weekend and my weight shot right up. On 14th July I recorded a weight of 154 lbs. This past week I decided to start using my HRM and logging exercise again, to…

Is getting very hungry after upping cals normal?
Hi All, I decided to try the EMTLW way because i was exercising 5 times a day for an hour and didn't see any loss in CM or Weight. I used to eat about 1200 cals even less but not because that what i was aiming for. I just ate when i was hungry and stopped when i was full and had been doing it for such a long time. I am…

Adding in more exercise
When back from holiday I'm going to increase my exercise classes. At mo I do Mon - Thur and find I'm on a downer all weekend because no exercise - I love the endorphins I get and miss them when I'm not doing anything! It also helps to keep me on straight and narrow / motivated! So I'm going to add in 1 x body combat, 1 x…

Am I doing it right?
Hello Everyone, I have been dieting for two years now. I was 104kg. Now 79kg. I started out on the low calorie wagon.. about three weeks ago I decided to Try EM2WL. I'm eat at TDEE - 20% which is 1900/2000 calories. I don't eat back exercise calories because I have calculated this into my TDEE on the Scooby site. I'm 168cm…

How important is consistency in calories?
I just started EM2WL this week. I came from a few weeks of eating at around 1500 (and not eating exercise calories) and upped my goal to my TDEE 15% cut amount of 2045. My BMR is calculated around 1750. I decided not to do a full reset because I was not eating below BMR for very long, and just to move my calories up. I…

NSV Alert!!!
I have a favorite pair of jeans that I occasionally pull out and try on. The last time was a couple of weeks ago, and they wouldn't even go over my hips. I just tried them on on a whim. Not only did I get them all the way up, they buttoned and zipped. There was a fair enough amount of muffin top that I won't be wearing…

Scooby Website changed its calculations??
I calculated a few weeks ago (and I did it probably 10 times to make sure I was doing it correctly.....) at http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ Female 190lbs 25 years old 68 inches Moderate exercise 15% cut I got the number 2210 for my calorie goal. I've been eating this for about 1.5 weeks now.... The site said…

What do you eat?
Those of you who are succeeding, I'm curious about your diet. Do you eat clean? Do you use pre-packaged foods to help you figure out your calories? Do you strictly weigh and measure every morsel? Do you eat whatever you want as long as you track it? I have a mental struggle it seems. Diets that have strict rules, for me,…

Time to get back to normalcy!
The last few weeks have been super crazy for me! I am learning that staying on these boards and connecting with MFP people and EM2WL people is essential to me doing well with my goals. With being on vacation and out of town for training, I have not done well. I have done a full 8 week reset, instead of the initial 4 and…

Weight gain after starting new workout program
I started ChaLean Extreme last Sunday....I just weighed yesterday (a week after starting CLX) and gained 2lbs. Should I lower calories? I upped to 1900 when starting CLX. I was eating 1800 prior. I am exercising 3 hours 20 minutes per week and that is enough for me! 5'5 38 years old (next month) 174 lbs (since gaining the…

Decided to take a "diet break" and....
I lost MORE weight than I was before! I upped my cals by 200 to just under maintenance according to Scooby and Fat2Fitradio. Since Monday, I've lost 2.2lbs! So, should I just keep eating this amount if I keep losing? I'm at 2500 now, and the last time the weight was just melting off I was eating 2500, but I was working out…

Calories for homemade foods
Got a question. I've been cooking more to get away from the processed foods and the problem i'm having is trying to determine the correct calories for what I've made. So, I made some navy beans and I slowcooked with one small smoked turkey drumstick. I added too much water, so it's more like soup than a thick stew. How…

Weight gain on the reset
I've already gained almost 3 pounds and it's been a week. Ugh... encourage me to keep with it!

A few questions!
Hi guys! So, I've been thinking... I'm on "week three" of my reset, however, during the first week, I was gradually upping to my TDEE, as it was VERY hard for me to reach and figure out just HOW to go about doing it. I was eating 1000-1300 calories in the first week, and on "week two" I finally hit my TDEE of 1650…

Silly Question
Is it safe to assume that this method is not gender specific, rather, human specific? I'm having great success with the standard MFP calcs, but I'm seriously considering EM2WL anyway. My initial plan was to get down to what I figured was a healthy weight/body fat % (170ish/16%ish) then begin a weight training regimen. I'm…

First week eating more, and I lost weight!
I was expecting to either gain or maintain for a few weeks while my body adjusted. But not only did I lose the 3.4lb gain I had from last week (I was seriously bloated from some major overeating the 2 days before WI), but I lost another pound on top of that, bringing me to a new low since starting this weight loss journey.…

CUT Process! :-)
Hi, I was looking for a sticky on people who have gone straight into the cut rather than do a reset, or even those who have done a reset along time ago and have been in the cut for a while, but there wasn't one :( So I thought I would start this! And hopefully we can get a thread going encouraging / sharing experiences…

Green tea
I read that green tea makes you burn calories, since it has almost no calories anyhow, couldnt we substitute it for water??? I dont like drinking water, I fill my tea to the rim with ice for extra water and the ice is supposed to speed up calorie burning too but I do add a little sugar with it.

Vegan protein
I got my protein up to 122 today, but my fats at a bit over. Had a look at other people's diaries and there is a lot of lean meat in there! No help to me! Should I have another protein shake a day or should I just relax a bit about my macros? :wink:

Need help picking activity level
I am currently eating 1800 cals per day which is 5-6 hrs of exercise per week on Scoobys at 15% cut. I have remained on my plateau. I have not really been low cal in years. I believe I was maintaining this weight eating about 2000 cals with no exercise and less LBM for years. I actually believe the weight gain I had at the…

Frustrated - advice?
Hi everyone - was hoping to get some insight here. Am about to cut calories for lack of weight loss but wanted to see if there is anything I am missing. MFP set me to 1720 calories per day. I normally go under by about 100 calories; occasionally more but then I end up eating a bit more the next day. I work out 5 days per…
