Friends with open dairys please
Hi, my name is Jas. Today I left my other groups I was unsuccessfully following to commit to this group. I am afraid of having food free for all. I hope my weight recalibration isn't to high. I am already 220lb at 5'4'. I'm looking for friends with open diaries. So I can get some ideas for getting my 30% protein in. Thanks…

Fitness tracker calories burned
Hello, I posted this question earlier...it went to cyberspace...I don't see it on the board. If it shows up, sorry for the repetition. When calculating TDEE, should I factor in calories burned according to my fitness tracker? My daily activity include errands, house work, taking care of my kids. I have not begun formal…

My journey-this time feels right
This is not my first attempt at EM2WL, but I am determined to have this be the time I get it right. I took a break (not sure how long) from tracking my food and I'm sure it was all over the place. I don't think I was crazy low because I was basically just eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted and not wanting to stress…

Had RMR tested
Hi All, I'm newish to the group. I have been on MFP for over a year and lost weight. I was eating some of my exercise calories back but not all and mainly just walking, which I really enjoy. This led to weight loss but no real change in composition. Picked up weights along the way with the small Dumbbells and eventually…

Collagen and BCAA
Hello, anyone using BCAA or collagen as supplements. I find hitting 30% protein is difficult to sustain daily. Are these of any benefit in terms of appetite reduction and muscle maintenance/gain?

How to you deal with everyone's advice
I work in a huge office full of mostly woman. So you can imagine the unsolicited advice lol. Ever since starting a reset and now started lifting consistently, I have not lost any weight in 9 months. So everyone assumes I've fallen off the wagon. While everyone around me is losing lots on their shakeolgy, weight watches,…

back again to seriously try it
I tried this too briefly last summer for only a month and got discouraged when I began to gain weight after nearly two years of dieting and intense workouts I am more overweight than ever and I do have more fitness-muscle but a huge stomach now. Im 54 and have joint pain too. Dieting has failed, eating 1200 calories…

New to the group!
Hi all, need easy tips for healthy meals I'm a busy mom to 3.! I do 30 min. Light workouts 5x a wk. Should I do more to get fit faster or will that turn into bulk? Any feedback appreciated!!

giving it a shot but feel out of water
Me: 47yr, 5'9", 197#. I've lost 48 pounds (since I've been keeping track). That 48 pounds has taken me about three years though so I know ALLLLL about slow and steady *sigh*. Like most of us that end up here, I have had a battle with my weight since I was young. At age 15 I went on a 7 month long starvation diet and lost…

When to change your daily cals target?
Hi thanks for having a read. I was following the MFP method where ate back my exercise cals from Jan till May but I found that the uncertainty of not knowing how much I would get to eat each day was causing some major binge episodes which meant that my weight stayed the same. I worked out my TDEE using Heybales excel TDEE…

Does anyone else have a really high TDEE according to fit bit
I am 5'8 and weigh about 205. Yesterday I got 17,500 steps. I walked on my lunch hour and both of my breaks. I also have a really nice under desk elliptical machine I pedal thru out the day with decent resistance on it. I lifted weights when I got home. I was also on my feet quite a while making dinner and my lunch for the…

I've read too much stuff - its all become a blur
I'm trying to find out my BMR and TDEE so I can utilise them to determine what an appropriate calorie intake is for me, but I think the more I read and videos I watch, I'm increasingly confusing what numbers mean what and how you introduce a cut and what that's actually for... Can someone please recommend a TDEE calculator…

Reset?
Do I have to? Or can I just start eating 1800 calories and being active and waiting patiently (not expecting to start losing for twelve weeks) when I was dieting (and binging) I'd eat around 1600 calories a day

To whoever posted about adrienneosuna Instagram
Thank you!!!!! Seeing her dramatic change at the same weight has given me a shift in focus. Back to giving up the scale and just focusing on my macros and lifting. I don't go to a gym but I do have some dumbbells up to 20lbs , barbell up to 130lbs and a super high step for step ups. I've only been doing one or two days a…

After some advice - increased activity, cutting, weight gain
Hi I did a metabolism reset a long while ago (after a few years of intermittent fasting and very low calorie eating), and happily ate without recording for a long while. I recently (11 May) decided to cut after a very gradual ("eyes off the ball") weight gain Unfortunately my weight has been going up in that time and I…

Back again, 3rd time
OK, I'm back at eating more again. Yes for the third time, but this time it'll stick. Why? Because I started to see results in the area that i wanted them in. Realized the only way was because I was eating more. Doing Ashley Horner's Charlie Mike 5 days a week eating 1600-1700 calories was not cutting it for me, especially…

Question about Cut
I have done my reset - gained weight and inches (really not happy about that), I am just starting my 3rd week of doing a cut, but nothing has changed, weight the same, inches the same. I know that it is not good to stay at a cut too long, but shouldn't I be seeing some changes by now? Do I stay doing a cut until something…

Utterly confused! Can someone help?
Hiya So I've been trying to follow a calorie counting diet for about a month or two but I'm failing miserably. I'm 5ft, 8st 12lb and I want to lose the fat. I was supposed to be on 1200 cal a day, but I feel like I'm really struggling. And I've lost all the weight before (a year ago and put it back on), got to 8st and…

What is the hardest thing about the EM2WL lifestyle?
What is the hardest part of starting and following the EM2WL lifestyle for you? What has been the most complicated and or confusing concept to understand? Is it the mind shift? The TDEE and BMR calculations? The reset idea? Implementing calories? Lifting? Letting go of yo-yo dieting? Patience? Consistency? There is no…

How to keep fat down???
I am trying to get my Macro’s at 40-30-30. How do you keep your fat down? My protein goals are like 150-170 a day but try to stick to a pretty whole foods diet so I eat a lot of eggs, grass ground beef, sirloin steak, homemade granola that has peanut butter. I make a lot of from scratch meals so I cook with olive oil,…

Celebrating Non-Scale Victories! Members share your NSVs here!
The scale isn't the be-all and end-all for feedback on your fat loss efforts. It's easy to get caught up in the numbers, especially if you're in the not-so-great habit of weighing in every week. There's a danger in depending solely on the scale for feedback. If it shows that you didn't lose or that you gained, you might…

Why you gain weight if you eat more than your cut
It seems this is new information for a lot of people and it could potentially relieve a lot of anxiety about weight gain when increasing calories. So for anyone who thinks, "But 1700 calories IS my maintenance amount!" Or, "I must just have a really slow metabolism because when I go over 1200 I gain." ... this post is for…

Calories from exercise...
I don't typically eat back exercise calories but my long run training has gotten to the point where I am burning around twice as many calories on that day as I am supposed to eat. My TDEE is 2230. Today, I burned approximately 4600 calories from my race. Should I eat more or just let it ride at my normal amount? Thanks for…

Having a rough day and need ideas if you have any.
As many of you know by now, I have a collagen disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I have finally gotten my calorie intake up to 2000 calories a day most days (it's been a long road getting here) and I have been lifting light weights for a few months now. I started with two pounds and worked my way up to 4 lbs. I have…
