Today is my first day of my cut (10%) after an 8 week reset. I went down by 300 calories. It didn't seem like much at first, but man I am starving. :p I gained 8 lb and 2.5 inches... Mostly in my tummy.vbut my arms look better from the strength training during my reset. I am so ready to lose now. :)

I appreciate the suggestions and insight. My diet, I am proud to say, has been pretty solid. I do have a treat every now and again, but nothing extreme. For me, the tiredness hit last week, so I felt quite off. As for working, no job yet (searching for a teaching job for the fall - freshly graduated). It is hit though. I…

Alright, here is my update. I am on week 8 of the reset. Last week! Start weight: 133 lb Current weight: 140 lb :sad: Gain: 8 lb TDEE: 2280 (moderate since I work out 3-5 hours a week) It started out great, eating at TDEE was easy. I filled up on good, clean foods. However, around week 6, I began feeling sluggish. When I…

You can count me in!! :)

This was so helpful. Bookmarked for when I am feeling down on myself.m Thank you for posting this!!!

Glad someone posted this. I am feeling like I am getting some belly fat too on week five of my reset. To the above posters, thanks for the suggestions.

It must feel good (to some extent) to be able to reflect on this and to see how far you're coming. This also helped me. I have deficits a lot and it is amazing how much it can add up. Thank you for sharing. :)

To everyone posting pictures... WAY TO GO! You are all doing amazing

Great info!!! It definitely makes me feel better about doing 8-12 weeks.

The end of July can't come soon enough so I can use this!!!! This is awesome!! You rock! :)

Thank you guys!!! I am hoping to go for a run tomorrow and do some good leg exercises today. You all have motivated me to do better. Thank you everyone!!

I think you got the right attitude. It's all about how you feel. The scale is a liar anyways. :) You look fantastic! I'd say calculate your new cut the day you switch so it's accurate. You're so close! Keep pushing!

:heart: Thanks Lucia!! I am going with moderate since I will be walking a lot! 2288 it is!

Thank you for the suggestion! I do hope maybe some of the older members could give me some pointers. :) :heart: :flowerforyou: thank you again

Bump :)

Posted as an individual topic, but I am posting it here as well: Hey everyone! I have a quick question in regards to going up to my TDEE! My plan was to start going up tomorrow while on vacation. However, being on vacation means that I will most likely not be AS active as I usually am. (I put myself at strenuous before [I…

Thank you everyone :flowerforyou:

My jaw DROPPED. So incredibly inspiring. I don't know what could be said that hasn't already been said, but WAY TO GO GIRL!!! :) Thank you so much with sharing your journey!

:blushing: :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: :heart: You guys are the best... thank you so much. :flowerforyou: I couldn't have done it without such a great supportive group.

Thank you :blushing: I hope you're enjoying the journey so far! I had trouble the first few days, but now I can't imagine how I lived before!! I mean, aside from upping the calories, I tend to work out a decent amount. I've been doing 30 day shred for the month of may (ranging from 5 lb weights to 15 lb). I've also done…

Ahahahahah!!! That's hysterical, yet awesome. Way to go!!! :D

<3 Thanks everyone!!! I am still pushing! Starting my full reset in 2 days!

That's an awesome loss! It is definitely something to be proud of!! :) Keep up the good work!

Agreed! Everyone supports each other. I find that inspiring and incredibly uplifting. :) Makes the journey easier!

Thank you everyone <3 :)

Thank you! I agree about the negativity. I feel like people are negative generally, but perhaps its because sometimes we expect too much. Sometimes expectations are higher than we are able to reach in the amount of time we give ourselves. I just want everyone to be happy and healthy with themselves. Numbers don't define…

I am so glad this became a thread. I love the positivity and support this group has! I will be starting my full reset come Sunday. I will probably be eating at TDEE for at least 4-6 weeks. If I feel like I need to stay there for a while longer, I will. :) Let's do this!

Looking good! Everyone basically stole the first word that came out of my mouth, but WOOOWWW!! :) Awesome! So inspirational!

Thank you so much everyone! It helps having such a positive support group here. I feel comfortable being able to share my experiences as well as learn from everyone around me. :)

Love the stats! I definitely want to start charting things this way! Awesome start so far! You got this!!!! :) Keep up the amazing work!
