Would love an answer on this as well. I have been eating more 2 weigh less for several weeks now. About to up my calories to 2050 hoping to see a difference soon. Lost 5 pounds in the first stretch plus approx 10 inches since starting. So quite happy, but interested to know how long before seeing significant changes.

welcome. always available for new friends. I have found this way of eating to have been such an amazing thing. I have never felt this good on a "diet" haha. what a great way to live.

Amazing. can not wait to have my own results like you.

Would love an invite! Am so thankful to have found this way of eating.

Perfect. I think I will play with it a bit more. All your info has been a huge help. A lot of information is all. Thanks guys!!

Thanks guys! Great info. I have tried the spreadsheet. But they're giving me different numbers than what I was using before (scooby calculator) and now I'm a little more confused. Now I have two different bmrs. About 300 apart. But tdee's that are only 100 apart. One bmr is approximately 1450. The other 1750. Both tdee.…

Absolutely Awesome!!! Keep it up!

NEAT?

I'm fairly new here and just recently started heavy lifting. I do some isolated workouts on top of stronglifts as i work out with hubby. For some reason I only measured myself after the first week and not at the whole start of the program. I have no pictures yet but I am super excited! After week 4 (and measuring after…

also new to em2wl. feel free to add me!!

bumping for inspiration!

Awesome! Thanks again! Its so hard to be told to eat more after years of low calorie. Hard to adjust. But I have done 1800 and 1900 the last few days and seems to be going well. Can't wait to see if there are any changes. I want to be a sucess story!

I don't so much follow a protocol or a specific fasting plan anymore. I have worked out what times work best for me and I have felt great on it. I work a lot of night shifts and don't want to eat crap at work so on days I work eat from 2(cuz that's when I wake up) till 8pm (so I can eat a quick snack at the starting of my…

absolutely inspiring!!

OMG YES!!! I am recently new to heavy lifting and have been investigating this whole EM2WL and eating proper calories for strength training. I used to be one of those people who ate at 1200-1400 calories a day to try and lose weight and switched because it had done nothing anymore. But I did this before, the whole logging…

Thanks for all the helpful info guys!! So great. I think im going to try to bump it up to 1800 or so, and see how that feels. Do you all eat the high calories every day? or only on lifting days? I did notice when someone talks about taking a break obviously you bring the calories down a bit while not lifting. Sorry for all…

Congrats on deciding to start. I've been lifting for three weeks now and although I have not noticed anything weight or measurement wise I absolutely Love it! Nothing better than to feel like a bad *kitten* even when lifting with your husband (my huz and I work out together and even though he is lifting way more than me I…

Lol eating like a rabbit Love it. I do fast and I awhile ago I used to eat at like 1200-1400. So when I started lifting I decided to increase it but thought 1600 would be enough. Honestly while fasting 1600 has been hard to eat cuz I'm so full. Should I just increase it or do it slowly? Thanks ladies for all your info and…

my TDEE is 2500, so that would put me at 2250.... Is that as high as everyone else's??? I know muscle needs more calories but... that just sounds incredibly high to me.

ok, so i know this has been slow for a couple days but im new to the group and i wanted to introduce myself. My name is Kelly. Im 26 (almost 27) years old now. I live in Brantford Ontario (Canada whoowhoo!! Brantford is about an hour west of Toronto). I have been married to my best friend for almost a year and started…

I have been snooping on some of the heavy lifting threads, and just recently starting lifting and working out with my husband. And dont worry about the weights ur using now. I am lifting less than you and having difficulty. We will just work our way up. I am so excited to be starting lifting heavy, There is so much…

OMG guy. All you ladies are so freaking hot. I just recently started lifting. I have always known you should but have always been afraid of getting too "bulky" despite knowing for a fact that without testosterone you really can't end up being huge. So I had started with the 15 reps for the toning look. But after reading…
