Tomorrow is the last day of level 2 for me, then on to level 3. When did you really start seeing results? Btw I am right there with you about the bikini body, I am getting married in Nov, and would like to wear a bikini at least on my honeymoon!

Oh, I know that, don't worry. Thank you again!

Ok, thats what I meant, sorry I suck at correctly wording things. Thank you for your help!

The second option-NEAT. Which is what I thought my 1363 number was? You tell me.

Yes, I round upto 1400 and eat that everyday. Thanks so much for your help! :o)

Ok fine, so u take my info and tell me whats right then please. On http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ I placed my activity level to "desk job with little exercise" that is where my number comes from.

My BMR is 1419, my TDEE is 1703 and so my TDEE- 20% is 1363 (all set to sedentary) so thats the measurement I have been going by. I try to eat most of my exercise calories but find it difficult at times, except for the weekends. The weekends I should work out double really.

I started measuring about a week into increasing my calroies as well as starting the 30ds. My measurements seem to be the same though unless Im doing it wrong, which is very possible lol. That first week when I weighed myself I was up 3lbs, That could also be due to tom and hormonal changes from a new pill as well, but…

Thanks guys, just trying to get used to eating more food, I was eating 1200 forever and was stalled out...so eating more just feels wrong and makes me nervous. I'll try to relax and see what happens! Oh, and I also have a fitbit which I am still getting used to-I try to eat a deficit of 500 calories thru that- so if I burn…

Ok, maybe I should have been more clear-according to scooby calculations etc. If I set myself to sedentary my TDEE-BMR comes out to 1363. That is where I got my 1400 number from (rounded off) I exercise everyday, but the only reason I set it to sedentary are for days where maybe I can't fit in a workout or something, I…

finishing up level 2 day 10 tomorrow! Started later than everyone else here. Is anyone seeing results yet?!

Yes! I gained 4 lbs the first week...even though that same week I finished my TOM and started a new bc pill, I was extremely discouraged, I decided to keep on going and I am on day 8 of level 2 today. I also decided to ignore my scale for a couple weeks because it makes me crazy! However, I feel better and I feel like I…

bump

bump for later

I am 5'2.5 and 141. I was down to 138 but I think I gained the 3-4 lbs from my hormones (switching 3 different pills in last 3 months) increasing my cals to 1400/day and working out 6 days a week with the 30 ds and this week adding in 30 mins of cardo 3 days/ week. Hoping to drop all this weight and get down to 130 by…

I too am trying to lose that last 10! I have increased my calories with the TDEE-20% method and have been doing the 30ds as well for almost 3 weeks. I decided to also add some cardo in with the 30ds three days a week. I am staying away from the scale for a couple weeks because it hasn't been good to me even though I am…

Thank you everyone! Believe it or not you have made me feel a little better. Im thinking of maybe staying the hell away from my scale for a month or a couple weeks at least and then see what happens. That damn thing makes me crazy!! Thanks so much again, Ill let u know how I make out, should you care lol

Yes, my muscles are sore, I just finished day 4 of level 2 yesterday. Not too sore today prob because today is my rest day... I finished TOM on tuesday and also started a different birth control pill on sunday...Wondering if I should go back to 1200 cals but I know I need to give it time, very frustrated though :o/

oh i hope its the same case for me!!! im so upset i wanna give up but i guess ill keep on going.. thanks!

I was just on lo-loestrin two months ago, and it was fine. Didnt stall my weight loss or anything like other birth control pills. Everything about it was great except for my sudden increase in migraines. That is the only reason I went off of it, otherwise it was great!

That's such a big difference! What have you been doing??

Hi! I am getting married Nov. 9 2013! Have ten lbs to lose! Seems so difficult to lose these last 10! Def trying to tone up as well with 30 day shred! While I havent seen any improvement on scale, I feel better and I also feel like I look better, hope I am not imagining it!!

Ok, thanks for breaking it down in laymans terms for me lol. :O)

Actually, with the fitbit one you can set your daily burned calories goal. But thats not what I meant. I meant that I set my calorie goal to 1400. But you said that the number of calories burned is the TDEE, so if I eat a deficit of 500 calories from that number, thats fine right?

a bit? are you kidding me?! you look great! congrats!

Ok-stupid question, but I just want to make sure I am understanding correctly as well as doing what I am supposed to be doing. I set my fitbit to 1400 calories accoriding to scoobys calculations for a sedentary level. Now, it says I have to burn 2184 calories/day but if I burned only 2000, that gives me a 600 calorie…

Thanks so much!! :O)

Yes, they are both synced. However, when I add in my exercise for the day my deficit number always goes up, and I feel like maybe it's wrong? I am doing the 30 ds as well which has SOME cardio in it, but I enter it in as circuit training, I also log the start times when I do that or when I run on the treadmill. Should I…

Despite what anyone says, women can gain weight from being on birth control because it changes the levels of your hormones. and your hormones control every function of your body. I have been on various birth control pills for over 10 years and have never gained any weight on any of them except for the one I am currently…
