Binging
I am doing reset for the 6th week now and have been EMTWL for about 9 or 10 weeks now. Ever since I started I have not binged once. Does that count as NSV?

Gizmos, gadgets, and the fidgets.....
I am wondering..........are gadgets like the Fitbit Ultra and BMF so sensitive that doing something like fidgeting (and I mean serious fidgeting) in a chair while seated would seriously skew the data results? When I am not up and moving about, I am at my desk, in a chair, frequently bopping out to music....or fidgeting.…

How do you know if you need a reset?
I've been at this for 4, almost 5 weeks, and nada, nothin', zilch as far as the tape measure goes. I also bought a BodyMedia Fit and have been using it for just over a week. It's telling me I'm averaging 3060 calories expended a day. My average intake has been 2254 and I have always been over 1900. My calculations from…

Just ordered a Polar FT7 HRM online!
I'm so excited I can't sit still. I also live outside the US so it'll be a good week before it arrives. SIGH. How have fellow EM2WL-ers found having a HRM helps things?

Sorry this posted twice! Ignore this one! Ok that's it .... Im gonna splurge on some bit of tech cos I'm sick of wondering if I've got my activity level right or using my doubts to justify a little extra here and there.

Help with Reset.
When you reset and feed at TDEE are you resetting based on your exercise included TDEE or are you elminating exercise and calorie burn and putting your TDEE at a sedentary state? Example: I'm 5'11, 204lbs, 34yo. Heavy exercise (ex: exercising 6-7 days/week) TDEE is 3462 Little or no exercise (ex: desk job) TDEE is 2408…

Reset results - yippee
Hi All, I just weighed and measured myself for the first time since the 17th May when I started my reset. It's all good and I am beyond happy :happy: I only gained 2lb, which was much less than I was preparing myself for! My measurements are the best thing: Waist -1" Hips - 1/2" Chest- 1.5" :bigsmile: Arms same Thighs -1"…

NSV!
After whining earlier this week about no recent scale change, I measured again today and discovered I've lost two inches from my hips and one each from my waist and chest!

Reading this and want to try it, but scared to go there
Hi. I'm fat. I'm HUGE. I've read through this, got my numbers and was ready to start, but I'm afraid. I'm afraid that this works for moderately big people who need to lose that last 30 pounds or so, but not for people like me. So, from using several of the calculators and taking the lowest and highest of them: My BMR is…

Bought a Bodymedia Fit
I finally broke down and paid $85 for a used BMF "link" on ebay. I hate the idea of paying a monthly fee to use it, but like the idea that I can check it on my phone. Plus I don't plan on using it forever, just when I need to check and verify my numbers . . . so maybe right at the beginning of a cut or the start of a…

Metabolism Reset Needed or not?
So I started my weight loss with a special program I joined that was low calories, low carb, low fat, high protein. I did this program for about 1.5 months. Prior to this I was eating a normal amount but I wasn't tracking how much. Low calorie diet was about 700-800 cal for a month then went up to about 1,000 for the next…

Newbie help re # of cals and macros. Thank you!
Hi All, I've been lurking for a while, but at this point I need some guidance and am also afraid of increasing too much. But, on the other hand, my weight loss is pretty slow so could use some pointers. I've read through a lot of the documents/threads, reading NROL4W, and also played around with my cal levels. I previously…

Food sensitivities causing gain?
Hey guys, Was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of food allergies/sensitivities causing weight gain and bloat besides the typical glycogen storage and salt. Reason why I'm asking is because I think I might be sensitive to wheat. Over just a matter of a couple of days where I will consume wheat products, I notice I will…

Sorry about tmi...irregularity after protein increase??
Maybe it's just me, but it seems that after I increased cals and protein I don't 'go' as much as I used to. I feel bloated and like I should go, but can't. Normal reaction? Any suggestion?

Still losing too fast :-(
Hello I am nearing my target weight now. I have only got 2 pounds left but still about 3 or 4% fat to lose. The problem is I am still losing too fast to maintain muscle and achieve more fat loss. I have been eating at approximately 1800 calories for 3 weeks and have lost around 6 pounds in that time. I have now upped my…

New to this whole "eat more to weigh less" thing
Ok. I've been hearing a lot about this group and I joined a little while back but haven't really been reading much. Actually I've been avoiding this group as I am one of those "HAH! That's rubbish!" people. I recently upped my calories a bit to 1500 and for the past two weeks I've been eating at or around this amount (I…

Is EM2WL more successful for those who are heavy lifting?
I am walking (4mph) or jogging a little too along with Jillians's NMTZ, RI30, and just got Killer Buns & Thighs averaging 3-4 hours/week. I have been pleased with my consistency w/ calories over the past 6 weeks (a day here or there w/ 50 above but always netting my 15% cut of TDEE (1845 - scooby #). I am using 11 lb.…

Upped my NET intake... Now I'm always hungry!! :huh:
I'm starving... ALL THE TIME. I was eating way below the calorie count that I should have been (1200 while working out, netting around 500-700) for a long time. I was losing weight, but always tired, and then got stuck at a major plateau. After coming on here and researching and reading, I found that my problem was I…
