During cut, how often should I jump back to TDEE??
After about a 12 week reset, I've been cutting for six weeks, and I think my metabolism is still all over the board. I have not lost any weight, but some of my measurements have gone down slightly. I was doing roughly a 20% cut (1650), but eating more like 1900 on my lifting days, because I was so dang hungry. So, I'm sure…

Change in taste
I have been watching what I eat and making healthier choices for almost two months. I decided I would give myself a break this weekend and eat some of my favorite foods. I couldn't eat them, they all tasted "funny". I tried chocolate cake, chess pie, ranch dressing, green bean casserole and onion rings. I ate maybe a bite…

Calorie goals + fitbit, confused.
hi all 1st full day of fitbit yesterday and results were that I had more cals than I would have expected. However, I have my daily calorie goal set with the figures I took from Scooby, shall I be changing these to MFP standard goals or just leave them as I have them? I appreciate that its the average over a month that I…

Just re-run my no's through Scooby...
OK... Just been trying to work out why I've binged this week, there's got to be more to it than just mindless binging, I think some of it is hormones, but I think the real culprit is that I've started NROLFW and so I've begun a whole new exercise regime, which has taken a whole load of my energy. So here is my schedule:…

Bulking and Intermittent Fasting
Ok, so here I am, on my second week of bulking and loving every minute of my painful, powerful muscles. Meanwhile, on the food front I'm having some doubts. Not that I don't feel good eating as much as I am, I am, believe me, but sometimes I have a hard time eating it all. Been checking the net intake and I'm not even…

So I JUST found this! And I want to make sure I am fully understanding everything I read... I want to gross my 15% cut for the day, and when I log my exercise cals I need to make sure I net at least at or above my BMR. Is that right? I have read so many things on this website now that my brain is on overload and I confuse…

Just a ramble really...
OK, so I wanted to talk to like-minded people about my progress... I completed my reset a couple of months ago and moved onto my cut (I went for 10%) but before long I stopped losing and started to cheat, especially at weekends. I also started to let my exercise slip and I felt like my whole new 'way of life' was slipping…

Zero scale
OK, I HAD to get this: http://www.thezeroscale.com/ I know a LOT of us are total scalephobes. Well, this scale doesn't tell you how much you weigh. You step on it day 1--that's your base weight, but it doesn't display a weight. Instead, it only shows you the change from day to day and in comparison to your starting "zero"…

Newbie Question!!
Is constipation a normal side effect?

ughhh
So I'm averaging a 2 lb per month loss which is great. EXCEPT I am 186 lbs. That means by next summer I will still be 170 lbs. It means it will take 18 months to reach 150 lbs (a 36 lb loss). I am just struggling with this. I know it is worth it. I know I won't give up because the changes to my body and my mental health…

Do you think I need a full metabolism reset?
I took picture today of myself basically almost naked (spandex and a sports bra on.) I felt so fat after I took those pictures. It's so hard gaining confidence after that. I sent my boyfriend the pictures (he's my best friend :D ) and I added on the e-mail subject line: "I'm gross. Thanks for f***ing me" He said that I…

Frustrated- need a little help with calories
I need a little help because I am starting to feel frustrated. A little background on myself. I started lifting in June. I lift 3 days a week (NROL4W) and take a spin class 1 or 2 days a week. I have been trying to eat around 1900 calories because every calculator I use says that would be my 15% cut. I am 42, 5'7" and…

I LOVE FOOD!!
After eating at 1500 calories a day for about 3 months straight and then feeling awful about myself about going over, then upping my calories, and now doing a TDEE Metabolism Reset (about 2357 calories to maintain)... I definitely have a different relationship with food. I adore food. So much. I originally only wanted to…

I want to hear from those who have lost at least 5 pounds
Hi i hope my post wasn't rude It's just I'm getting frustrated. Yes i gave up em2wl cause i can't seem to accept the philosophy of it so i said i would go at it in a different approach. i want to hear from you who have lost at least 5 pounds and inches while following the philosophy. Maybe by reading the stories of those…

WTF?!
So, ok, I get that I have only been at this for a week and some change and I recognize that it will take a while for my body to get it together. Great. I also realize that I am trying to get use to what foods to eat with higher calories and for the past week and some change I don't think I've gotten it 100% right…

TDEE reset: I can't eat no more!
I have a question: should I eat at my full TDEE on days that I do not work out if I am just feeling stuffed? Or should I force myself to get to full TDEE? I'm 200 calories in the hole.

Weight training
So I workout about 6 days of the week (pop Pilates everyday for an hour and I do hiit/cardio 3 times a week. I recently upped my calorie intake from 1200 to 1600 after reading about bmr and TDEE. I eat back most of my exercise calories I was just wondering...if I should start weight lifting at the gym... I don't want bulky…

Weigh-in/Measurement updates
Please come back to this forum to give updates. It is great to learn about progress, setbacks, challenges etc. Let's check in at least once a month but I will probably give feedback more often then that. Provide start date, old and new cals for workout and nonworkout days, inches lost, clothes size..etc. I so wish I noted…

Oh, those darned bars...
Well, I WAS doing very well with eating to about 2200 cals/dayish, felt like I was slowly losing... and then I ordered 24 bars from six pack nutrition shack. I actually ate five bars in one day because they were so freaking delicious. I am putting myself on bar probation now... but I'm terrified to even look at the scale…

HELP! Reset question
Hi All, I'm 3 weeks into a reset, eating 1800. I'm 5'3" about 108 lbs, and about 19% BF. With moderate activity, Scooby gives me 1900 and with heavy activity 2100. But I also have a FitBit, and my average burn over the past month has been 1800, so I decided to use that as my TDEE. I have been lifting heavy 3 days a week,…

Something Happened!
After not losing weight for awhile, something finally happened! I was eating around 1200 calories (for about a year), and burning off around 800-900 calories a day through exercise alone. I was so hungry and weak, I just didn't realize it! I went to see a RD and she told me to start eating more (among other things). I…

MTV!
Measuring Tape Victory! I'm totally shocked. Started reset last week along with NROLFW. The no cardio part is really hard, but I am seeing the benefits of following the directions almost to the letter. I am also trying to stick to my macros as much as possible. P.S. - My scale is hidden somewhere in my house, lol.…
