Lo Carbing
I've been spinning my wheels on EMTWL since Feb. Have seen zero weight loss, minor measurement changes. Been fluctuating between 229 and 234lbs.Never less, sometimes more depending on sodium intake. It's all water fluctuation. There was a discussion about diet on a weighlifting forum I belong to. One of the guys…

Need some encouragement
I started Crossfit on July 1st. It very quickly became apparent that I'd never succeed at it on a VLCD. At this point, I'm losing inches and getting stronger and having a grand time basically ignoring the scale. This week I've started going 5x/week instead of 3x/week, which ups my weekly exercise from 3 hours/week to 5…

Fitbit & weight stablization question from a newbie
Hello again! Newbie Melanie here (warning, I'm long winded!). I'm almost 3 weeks into a reset, although the first 3 or 4 days were before I discovered IPOARM and EM2WL and I had just had enough of netting 800-1300 most days and not losing an ounce in two years. I filled out the spreadsheet to find where my numbers should…

New Member looking for help
I am really in need of advice. So I've been eating at 1200-1400 calories for about 8 months. And so far I lost 9 pounds. As for my workouts, I was doing insanity or I would send 2hrs 5xs a week at the gym doing some type of class. Now my Tdee is 2220. Also, I'm on my feet 7 hrs while I'm working. I used a polar hrm and I…

New - Reset - Overate on weekend!
Hi everyone! It's my first post here, but I'm a couple weeks into a reset, and over the weekend I was out of town and over-indulged on Saturday and Sunday. I tracked pretty well on Saturday and was actually 650 over... eek. A couple drinks adds up fast. I didn't track as well on Sunday as I was at an amusement park, so my…

Constantly over on fat....
My diary shows that I constantly go over on fat. I have it set at either 20 or 25% as per Heybale's spreadsheet. Quite a bit of that fat is from things like cottage cheese, ground almonds and pb, so is that as bad as say the fat that was in my chorizo this evening? Or is it all just fat? And if so, can anyone suggest…

Please help
So I am totally confused! I have read all the sticky topics and watched the videos and have set my TDEE- cut to 1600 calories but I seem to be gaining weight!

weight lifting hiatus
Life got in the way and I just took a 3 week break from lifting (traveling out of the country with no gym access, sinus infection with fever etc.) While I was traveling, I was still pretty active (30-50k steps a day, hiking, running etc). How do I know how heavy to lift at the gym tomorrow? How much strength have I lost? I…

Not sure what to try next
So I've been holding steady for the last month in the 131lb and 20% body fat range. I'd like to drop my BF% to 18. According to my bodymedia, I burn an average of 2266 calories and consumed 2051. I know at this small amount of weight loss, it's hard to see progress, but since I'm pretty much the same, I'm going to assume…

Two and a half weeks in advice
Hi guys, I started a reset about 2 1/2 weeks ago after stumbling across the Eat More theory on the internet. I had pretty much been on a 2 year plateau despite exercising alot and eating moderately and healthily, after losing about 3 stone in the space of about 18 months. I didn't calorie count exactly but had kept a very…

So bloated, so full, low hunger
A little background. In 2011 I went from 125 lbs at 5'3" to 99 lbs on approximately 800 calories/day. I know, I know. I killed my metabolism in the process, began bingeing several times per week and slowly over the last 2 years have gained it all back plus 1 or 2 lbs. I also lost all of my muscle mass and gained back fat…

New to the Eating More Concept - and Loving it!
I've had some great success with MFP in the last 90 days. I found a weight/size I haven't seen since 1991, and my wedding dress from that era is actually too big. But I've hit a plateau. Counting every calorie, eating very well (lots of veggies, fruit and lean protrien, limited processed food) and working out every day. I…

Want to start EMTWL..newbie tips?
I can't imagine eating more than I already am but EMTWL makes total sense to me, just haven't figured out a way to work it into a new routine. I started out at 1200 calories and my net would be very low most of the time because of my workouts...sometimes negative. After doing research I upped my calorie intake to…
