Beverly, I'm into my 3rd month of the process .... and you're right, TRUST is the key. Keep it up, lady!!

Soooo, still hanging out here and doing my EM2WL thing. Scale still stuck. Stayed at 1800 calories for a month or so, and since the little bit up wasn't coming back down, I thought I'd try a tiny cut. No changes. So should I stay at the cut for a while and see what happens, or do you think I cut too soon?

@saranharm, patience is NOT one of my strengths!!!

Yes, @Raynn1, you certainly may share it!!

Okay, so I've been able to do 1600 calories a day for 2 weeks, consistently ... so I'm moving to 1700 today. Still stuck at the same range on the scale, but I'm feeling good and my clothes still fit, so I'm not sweating that. And I'm getting better at getting in the majority of the calories earlier in the day so I don't…

Do I ignore the MFP recommendation of 1300 calories and continue with the reset? I haven't actually started losing anything since I started this…

Under Construction, I understand where you're coming from. I've been doing this just briefly and already see a huge difference in how I feel, and the weight is beginning to move. Do your reading, and make your plans!!

Thanks for the support, gang. It's really helpful! The good news is I really do feel better with more fuel. I've already noticed THAT! And I'm sure, sure, sure it's water. In fact, this morning I was down by 2.5, so I'm convinced it's fluctuation ... and it was HOT here yesterday and I was pinned to my desk by a project.…

Six days in and 3 pounds UP. Averaging about 1400 calories a day. Anxiety climbing.

Mind completely blown. I have NEVER heard this. But I love the cell phone analogy. I went to tdeecalculator.com and here's what it gave me: "Based on your stats, the best estimate for your maintenance calories is 1,753 calories per day based on the Mifflin-St Jeor Formula, which is widely known to be the most accurate.
