Hi all, I've started my reset on the 8th of February. During this time I've been tracking my weight daily just to get an idea of how my body responds to different factor.

Great Article on Lifting - High vs Low Weights/Reps
Very interesting article on weight lifting and examines the concept of of high reps, light weights, versus low reps, heavy weights.

HeyBales, question for you!!
On another thread, I saw you mention that with the BMF, the calories burned for a weight lifting session may be underestimated. I was just commenting the other day that my weight lifting burns seem to be extremely low compared to other people. Like, maybe 176 for a 40 minutes session. And I'm going as heavy as I can and…

Today is my last day of a week reset. I have been eating about 2200 calories all this week.

New to eating more - is this really for me?
The concept of eating more calories in order to lose weight is one I've heard of before, but never seriously considered until this week. I'm taking it slow, trying to get as much info as I can, but basically what I want to know is if this is really something that will help me. I'm 5'6, ~135 pounds, 32 years old. I don't…
