Checking in again two days later. Still keeping pretty steady at 2500 calories and 30% protein. The warm sensation has gone away, and I have gained some weight each day for a total of 1.5kg - still in the short term though.

Checking back in - this is day four of 2500 calories and increased protein intake (aiming at 30%). This definitely seems to have kickstarted something in my body as I lost another 2kg overnight. I've also noticed myself being warmer than I'm used to, including some light sweating. Is that a normal reaction to this and just…

I did use the calculator, yes. =) My TDEE is around 3500 (at sedentary, since I haven't started working out yet), so I still have some room to go when it comes to upping, but I'm taking it at a "fast gradual" pace at the moment. I have read up on the metabolic reset as well, plus checked a few threads here on the forum. As…

Hi all! A little update from me. I started upping on Sunday, but went way too heavy with ripping that bandaid and took in 2600 calories (maintainence goal is 3500), and my body did not react too well giving me a pretty nasty (and sleep-preventing) stomach ache/cramp for all of Monday and early Tueday (at time of writing it…

I've definitely been thinking about getting started with strength/weight training, especially if I am going to do a metabolic reset - getting some muscle mass started might make me feel more "productive" during the period, too. Any tips/suggestions for starting out? Been years since I went to the gym regularly, so how…

Thank you for the welcome. =) For calorie levels, I just checked my MFP history (since I've been very strict with myself about logging), and I've been around 1500, with July being around 1200. Occasionally I've strayed up to about 1700-1800, but that's a rarity. Protein has been lower than the 30% - generally around the…

Hey! I'm Erik - 36, male. I RP (but don't currently LARP), and also enjoy digital games a lot, especially narrative ones. I currently work as a QA tester in the games industry. Weight-wise, I'm 190cm/6'3" and trying to get down to 90kg/200lbs or thereabouts, started on MFP at 188.8kg/416.2lbs in March and have lost about…

Hi, new hear, been on MFP for almost six months now. I started out at 188.8kg (416.2lbs) and currently weigh about 158.5kg (349.6lbs). I'm 36 years old, male, stand about 190cm (6'3") tall and have a sedentary lifestyle that I'm looking to improve while I lose weight. According to the calculator, my BMR should be around…
