Well, after 6 weeks of cut I'm finally on a losing trend. I lost another whole pound since last week. I'm going to take a rest week starting tomorrow and eat my TDEE all week (without exercise factored in). My clothes still fit the same and I have not measured yet and I'm a bit afraid to. Don't want to do anything to mess…

Checking in again after two weeks. This is my 5th week of cut after the reset and I'm doing a little better. I'm down 2 pounds as of this morning from the highest I was 2 weeks ago. Still have 7 lbs to lose to be where I was before I started the reset but it's a step in the right direction. This week TOM is here so I'm…

Thanks TripleJ3, I did rework my numbers with my new weight when I started the cut. I will plan to take a diet break after next week and maybe a rest week also. Somethings got to give. Hopefully that will do it. Sorry to hear about your troubles. Hang in there!

Well its been a long time since I posted an update, mostly because I didn't want to depress anyone. But, I figure people might need to hear the bad along with the good so here it goes. Today is the end of my third week of cut after the reset and I have gained another pound. I gained 6.9 during the reset and now another…

I'm on my first week of cut after a 7 week reset. Feel free to add me!

Thanks for sharing. That is fantastic and you look great! Congrats on the twins!

Hello everyone. I have completed a 7-week reset and am starting my 15% cut today. Why did I only do 7 weeks? Well, I feel like my body has finally gotten used to the high calories and my weight has stabilized. I was also never on a VLCD for very long. I am up 5 lbs and about 3 inches here and there. So, starting today I…

I'm interested in the answer to this question. I've been worrying about the same thing.

Congratulations! That is truly awesome news! Good luck during your pregnancy and keep eating at TDEE.:smile:

Hello all, time for my weekly check-in. I am up again in weight this week. But TOM was here so I'm blaming that. So altogether I've gained 4.3 lbs since I started my reset 6 weeks ago. Starting week 7 tomorrow. I'm still having trouble eating all my calories, I'm starting to think that my TDEE is closer to 2100 calories…

Hello all, just checking in. Today marks the end of my 5th week of reset. I feel pretty good this week and am having an easier time getting my calories in every day. I guess that means this is working for me. I weighed this morning and found I had lost 1.4 lbs since last Friday. Now I am only up 2.8 since I started the…

I feel the same way. I'm at the end of week 4 of my reset and am feeling really FAT! I've gained 4.2 lbs since the beginning and I'm starting to get anxious and wonder if I'm doing the right thing. I committed to 8 weeks but if I gain another 4 lbs, I'm going to cry. I wasn't going to weigh at all but I can't seem to stay…

I will be completing the full 8 weeks around July 27 and plan to start my 15% cut on the 28th. Feel free to add me.

Checking in: I'm finishing up the third week of my reset. I've done a little better with getting more calories in this past week. However, still not really hitting my TDEE of 2464. I've gained 4 lbs total since I started and have not really leveled off yet. I also still feel a lot of bloating around my middle. I've decided…

Well I am two weeks into my reset trying to eat at TDEE and failing miserably. My TDEE is 2464 and I'm lucky if I make it to 2100 most days. This week has not been so bad but last week I was struggling to eat 2000. I am feeling really bloated and I know I have gained a couple inches around the waist. I've gained 3 lbs on…

I'm jumping in to do the reset and would really love some support as I am terrified! Lol. I have been on MFP since September and started out eating 1400 cals and initially lost 15 lbs quickly. I have been stalled losing and gaining the same 3-4 lbs since January. I've raised my calories to 1800-2000 over the last 4 weeks…

Update on my stats: 1/6: 168 1/13: 167.8 1/20: 166.4 1/27: 167.4 1/31: 165.2 Yay!!

Hi everyone, I'm coming back to this method. I had been doing this since beginning of December and then a couple weeks ago I went back to traditional MFP way of calculating my calories. That didn't work because I gained a couple lbs since then and was really upset with myself. Here are my stats: 1/6: 168 1/13: 167.8 1/20:…

Funny you should mention it but I also went 4 months without "her". She came back at the beginning of this month and I also thought I was done. The hot flashes are not as bad too and I was attributing it to the Promensil I've been taking religiously. Now that I think about it, it could be because "she" is back. Weird, I…

There is an actual group and it's called the same.

I have been gone on vacation for two weeks and have not really been watching what I eat or following the Olivia method. However, I only had a .2 lb gain. I'm extremely happy with that. My current weight is 167.8. Getting back on track this week to try to lose .5 lb per week.

I'm down 1.8 lbs since I started this on Dec 5. I'm hoping this is a real loss and not the up-and-down I've been seeing on the scale recently.

Hello everyone, I started the "Olivia method" on Monday weighing 170.4. I am excited to try this since I have been on a plateau losing and gaining the same 1-2 pounds for the last month or so. My BMR is 1416 and my maintenance is 1770. My ultimate goal is to lose 30 more pounds. The problem I'm having now is that I find it…
