One month on EMTLW
Ok. One month is over with. One more month before I do the cut. I can't wait for this fullness to go away. some days I'm always hungry but other days I'm always full. I guess my body is trying to catch up and trying to see if it can trust me again. Feeling like a loser for doing this to myself for so long time. Anyone feel…

Estimating, averaging and eating ?'s

Calorieline: REE - 1179, TDEE - 1566 Scooby: BMR - 1294, TDEE - 2007 Fit Girls: BMR - 1293, TDEE - 2004 Cordianet: BMR - 1265, TDEE - 1961 I want to be as accurate as possible so should I average them, or is one site more reliable than another or...?

Shakey during 30 day shred
I am on day 5 of shred and the last 2 days I have been starting to get shakey/twitchy as soon as I start. I mean that I can't do the jumping jacks in the beginning without it starting in my legs. For anyone who has restless leg syndrome it sorta feels like that while I am working out. I have been eating around 1700…

Ugh! So much food!
I haven't been doing this long, so I know that it's going to take some adjusting, but how do you guys manage to eat so much! I feel like I've been eating all day long, and I still need to eat another 200 calories in order to hit my BMR after exercise. My lunch wasn't the healthiest (Taco Bell lol) and my dinner was frozen…

Lost the first 5 pounds!!!
Lost my first 5 pounds using the EM2WL method!!! I was so excited when I got on the scale today. Did 5-6 weeks at the VLC 1200/day diet and saw NO results. In fact I GAINED on 1200 cals a day. Switched to the EM2WL, did the math and gained briefly then started losing. I couldn't be happier!! It DOES work. I have lost…

An NSV!
So like many of us for years I have been eating tons for vegetables for high volume. I love vegetables so this wasn't ever a problem for me. Well almost 3 years ago I gave birth to my third daughter and noticed as I lost the weight, I still had a rounded belly. I have seen many other Mother's with a rounded belly so I just…

How to read PF Changs nutritional info?
http://www.pfchangs.com/menu/NutritionalInfo.aspx How do you read the dang thing? It states servings per dish and then calories per dish. The calories per dish, does that include all servings or do you multiply the calories per dish by number of servings? I am the only one? I am going this Saturday and want to log…

Just a baby vent
Last night I had to tape myself teaching Sh'bam (dance group exercise class) to send to corporate to get assessed. I've been rocking my dresses for 5 weeks now, and had to put on my dance pants and workout top for the tape. And they were very snug. And I looked very thick. I was so uncomfortable and self conscience . I…

Have patience - because it's working!!
I found this forum and started upping calories about 6 weeks ago, after months of plateauing, despite diligent calorie deficits and exercise. I will be honest - when my weight kept rising through these weeks of eating more to weigh less, it was discouraging. Even in the face of good news with the tape measure, it's…

I eat like a pig!
Ever since I started EM2WL, I've upped my calories to about 1700-1800. During most meals, it actually seems like I eat MORE than everyone sitting at the table. Even more so than my 6'2" tall boyfriend who is normal in weight I'm only 5'2". . Of course, I pick more nutrient dense foods that allow me to eat more. I think…

Metabolism reset necessary or just cut TDEE?
Hi Everyone!! I apologize in advance if this has been answered previously! But.... Is it necessary to do a metabolism reset or can I just eat the cut calories and still lose? I've been slowly making my way up since I started in January: was at 1200 and now at 1540. If the calculators are correct, my BMR is around 1574…

Scared to increase calories..!
Hi everyone! I'm new to the discussion board and am very much intrigued by the idea of consuming MORE calories and LOSING weight! I have been a Weight Watchers member since Sept 2009, hit goal weight in April 2010 and since then about 5 pounds have creeped back on. I've been trying to lose those 5 lbs with WW to no avail…

Newbie to group, but not to dieting
Thanks to HarlanJen I started tracking my food yesterday and she swears I need to eat more to lose weight. So a little about me: In Aug. 2007 I had lapband surgery having been at 303 as my high weight. I lost about 30 pounds over 3 years with my band but had to have a second surgery to replace my port that the nurse…

this can't be right.....can it?
Good morning! So I started the EM2LW about a week and a half ago. I was eating 1400 plus exercise calories (so usually 1700-1800). After struggling with the decision of using the fat2fit numbers or the scooby numbers I upped to 2200. Started NROLFW last week and cut my cardio back to 2 days per week instead of 5. This…

Could this be it?
I started EMTWL at the beginning of April after four years of 800-1000 calories per day. I have been eating 1800-2200 calories per day (netting about 1500-1600 after exercise) and discovered an appetite I haven't felt in years. Last week was scary where I gained 4 pounds and was seriously wondering whether I was doing the…

TDEE And Logging Exercise
I set my calorie level to my tdee of 1702. So i plan on eating that amount of calories every day. My question for people who do this is, do you still log your exercise? I don't mean log it so i can eat it back. That was the point of putting in my TDEE. It already accounts for my weekly activity. But I like to keep track of…
