I may be enjoying the extra food a little bit too much, lol. I have made some bad choices the past few days and since my weigh in on Thursday morning, I have gained 7.1 lbs!!! I would love to blame the process, but I know it's my fault and my poor choices that caused my gains. Yesterday we had a baby shower and then last…

@empressichel Seems similar to calorie cycling. Before I stated with EM2WL, I followed CICO and used to cycle my calories throughout the week. Would the same concept apply here? Like if I eat more one day and less the next or burn more calories one day and less the next and total it all out for the week to keep a daily…

@saranharm Yes, I do eat meat and poultry. I love chicken, but sometimes I get burnt out on eating it too much. I need to start preparing it like I used to at the beginning of the week to have on hand. I love cottage cheese and my favorite is to eat it with grapefruit...yum! Going to the store tomorrow so I'll make sure to…

The past few days, I have been trying to make better choices and have found that I have an excess of calories at the end of the day. Then I make bad choices and fill up on junk just to use up my calories. I wonder...is it better to go to bed with unused calories or to fill them up with junk. As in "junk" I mean like for…

Hi! Thanks for the add! I love your thread! The title says it all...trust the process. I think we have a lot of the same issues. I am a little iffy about upping my calories, but I know in the long run it will be better for me. I also do the same as you. Sometimes I don't eat enough early in the day or I save my calories…

Ok, this week I wanted to start focusing on my protein intake and thought I did really well today. Um...no. I only hit 15% of my 30% goal! It is really hard for me to ever eat enough protein to be able to hit that goal. Any suggestions? I have already switched from egg whites to whole eggs, I use 1% milk because I don't…

Me too! I have read through every page of your thread you show great detail on how to up calories and the struggles to get to maintenance. Your posts really inspire me to stick with it no matter what. I know that I'm going to gain and lose along the way, but in the long run it will pay off!

I also have a hard time hitting my protein goal. Has anyone every tried that unflavored protein powder that you can add to pretty much everything? I've been wanting to try it for a while, but wanted to get some feedback first.

Hi, I'm Tracy and I'm starting this again after having a baby a couple of months ago. Just wanted to introduce myself again even though I did this back in September (before getting pregnant). I'm not going to get into much detail here as I am going to make my own progress thread so feel free to friend me and follow me…

Regarding this convo I found in another thread... I prefer to see my exercise in MFP so I take what my Fitbit gives me for the calories burned during exercise and log it into MFP, but I don't eat those back. Am I doing that correctly since I have my daily calories set at a higher TDEE that incorporates my activity level? I…

Thanks @ddbramble

@TerezaToledo So did you not add 500 to your TDEE for nursing? I'm just wondering how much wiggle room I really have, lol.

@saranharm She is now 11 weeks old. So according to my average TDEE of approx. 2700-3000, I would add the 500 to that = 3200-3500. Wow, that's a lot!! I get the 2700-3000 average from my Fitbit stats. The calculators give me a TDEE of 2322 for sedentary, 2660 for 1-3 days and 2999 for 3-5 days. Would my fitbit be more…

@terrinicolefit gor This type of challenge...not really. All of our formulas in the spreadsheet are set up for pounds of weight lost. You could definitely join as a cheerleader and participate along with all the teams however you'd like. Your weight just wouldn't be counted towards any certain team. Our cheerleader team is…

No, it is not too late. As long as you join and log your weight before Sunday at 10:00 pm PST...your in!

That will be no problem. I can make a note to just keep your weight the same as the previous weigh in. As stated at the end of rule 5: 5) 3 Strikes and you're out: missing 3 weigh-ins disqualifies you from the competition and puts you onto the Cheerleader's team. These weights will no longer count for your original team.…
