When do you cut? If you are still gaining on re-set??
I am curious. I was planning on 6 weeks re-set and think I will go full 8 weeks or 12. Not in any hurry to rush my body anymore. But I am curious. How do you know the reset is done? When do you cut? If you are still gaining weight do you keep eating TDEE until you stop ???? When do you know? This confuses me....

Need some support.
Hello amazing members of this incredible group! I'm reaching out for some more friends. The truth is, a lot of the friends I have on here eat really little. Some net in the 1600-1800's and I think that's fine (I net in the 1900ish). But recently people I've added are eating less than 1200 calories, and it really screws…

I was hungry all…

New to this, and have question about logging in exercise.
Hi All, I just started MFP about a week ago and have been eating their recommended calorie intake. Then I stumbled onto EM2WL and decided that this sounds much more livable! So, my question is...once you input your TDEE cut as your daily calorie goal, do you still log in your exercise? Since that adds them in and it…

So tired of seeing VLCD massive losers in my feed.
:frown: I am very sad to see so many weight losers in my feed on VLCD`s. Of course I am jealous. I haven`t lost weight in a long time. But I also know that doesn`t work for me any more. I guess that someday it won`t work for them either. I wish I had more friends who lose eating a decent amount for their size. I think it…

Have I eaten 2 much to did I eat enough?
What a switch in internal dialog! Before: The constant watchdog! What were those calories? You shouldn't have! That's 400 calories, 1/3 of your day! What!
