First day for Reset!
So, today was my first day at reset. Can we all say HALLELUJAH?! Quite possibly, this has been the best day of my diet life so far. I don't think I've ever ate so much in my life without feling guilty and knowing that what I ate is good for my body. I did get my first "You're eating that much?!" today. While my mom was…

8 wks w/a bodybugg & gained 7.5lbs! Not good.
Saw a friend at the store tonite, she asked me how my bodybugg thing was going, I told her about EMTWL. ..told her I've gained 7.5 lbs... Felt kinda dumb. Wondering how long I can keep up with this eating all the time scale getting higher & higher. Maybe it's not for everyone.

Increasing calories after many years of too little
Can someone share their experience with this? How long did it take until your metabolism started moving along again? How much did you initially gain? Were you able to eat like others or is your metabolism still a bit lower than normal? Would love to hear some how others did this.

EM2WL doesn`t meant eat that much more!
In my search for the right numbers I went too high an activity level, did a reset, gained 5 lbs and now am back into my cut at a slightly higher number than MFP originally proposed to me. No I haven`t lost the weight yet, so what am I doing posting here? I found out I never stuck to one thing long enough. I would always do…

New Friends to Help New Journey!
Hello y'all. I have bounced between vlcd & binge eating since I was 12. I hit my biggest after I had my son back in early 2010. I was 275lbs. Then, on Halloween 2011 I was finally 168lbs. I had ran a half marathon. I was lifting (lightly!) and I thought I was healthy. Surprise surprise, I slowly started eating more and…

is this why I feel so heavy & blah now?
Anybody see/use this TDEE calculator: http://www.iifym.com/tdee-calculator It seems like it would be more accurate since it asks more specific activity questions. According to this my TDEE is 240 calories/day less than on Scooby! It's setting my TDEE is roughly what Scooby would have me at the 15% cut. Maybe this why I…

Starting week 3...
Today is the official start of week 3 of the reset... I've definitely had some ups and downs. Lots of bloat. Haven't measured or weighed myself which is probably for the best. The first week was awful and I went over TDEE more than I stayed under. Last week I was doing better until midweek, and then had a ton of trail mix…

Am I doing the right thing? So tired:(
I have only been doing EMTWL for a few days but right from the start, my energy levels didn't increase. Usually I'm tired, but I'm never as tired as I am now. Everything feels like a chore, and it really hurts when I have to just walk upstairs. I do a thirty minute workout every morning before work, but I haven't had the…

Protein?

Learned something this weekend...
I was really off track with my calories and exercise this weekend. Had a social gathering every day Friday - Sunday and was pretty much sedentary all three of those days. I had a lot of simple carbs, salt, and sweets resulting in 8 pounds of bloat.. Or so I hope it's just all bloat and not any fat! I normally do my long…

Starting a cut in a week...and appreciation for all of you!
So...I've done 2 weeks of a reset and am going to do one more and then start a cut.

I'm no longer having to force all my TDEE calories down. I'm…
