exactly THIS!!! I totally get it that the "scale lies" etc. etc. etc. but come on.....if our clothes fit the same and the measuring tape lies and the mirror sucks then really....somethin's gotta give! I've been there...totally. Right now I'm doing okay mentally because I think I'm in a downward trend (finally....in week 6…

Hi everyone! Checking in here....weighed myself this morning and the scale says I've DROPPED 1.4 POUNDS! I couldn't believe it. I am in week 5 of my cut and have weighed 157 on the dot for the entire 5 weeks of cut, nothing has budged even a tiny bit (I weighed about 153 before my 8wk reset) and today the scale said…

hey ladies...checking in! Some of you saw my post on the boards saying "i'm on the verge" a few days ago...I was having a terrible day and was totally on the verge of saying screw it and slashing cals. OBVIOUSLY I'm not going to do that....just wanted to give you all a head's up....here's my post from today in that…

You guys are seriously all so great! Thanks for the encouragement, the tips and then relating to me! It seriously helps! I think what I've decided to do is change my activity level to moderate 3-5hrs per wk (on scooby) instead of the level of 5-6hrs strenuous that I originally had it at and then do a 15% cut which for me…

oh my goodness!!! I see HUGE changes! your stomach is much flatter, your arms have changed a TON!! your back...really everywhere! Great job!! =)

thanks everyone! This is pretty much what I figured and is totally okay with me! It just confirms what I know...that I have about 10-15 pounds of fat that still needs to shed from this body! I feel like if it would just go AWAY there would be a very nice lean toned body revealed underneath! =) Thanks for your input!!!

couple of random ramblings...... so I have 3 full days of cut under my belt...on day 4 and I ALREADY feel amazing! I have no idea how much I weigh and frankly I don't want to know. If I weigh myself and don't see a loss I know my mind will say "frickin a...I KNEW this wasn't going to work"...haha! Anyway, I FEEL like my…

oh my gosh, I'm an IDIOT!!! I was putting 66 CENTIMETERS instead of INCHES for my height....DUH! crisis averted! thanks everyone!!!

female 5'6 157 33yr old 5-6hrs strenuous If it IS correct that my TDEE is 2249 (which is what it says today) then WHY in the world did it say 2549 allllllll of the other times I've checked it? And yes, I'm neurotic sometimes and have checked it and looked over the mumbers 100s of times and it's ALWAYS said that my TDEE is…

hey everyone!! =) Well, I finally made it here! Day 1 of my cut! YAY!!!! Can't believe I completed 8 full wks of reset. During my reset I bought a BMF and wore it for a little bit (it drove me NUTS, irritated my arm, etc) but anyway, I found that I "think" I was over-estimating my TDEE just a bit. I was going off of a TDEE…

oh my goodness honey!!! you talked about "wasting time" and I will tell you right now you ARE wasting time doing 65 minutes of cardio...NOT the other way around!!! =) STOP doing that!! hehe...=) YES, 30day shred counts, YES weight lifting doesn't "feel " like as good of a burn but it DOES burn calories and the muscle…

ha!! YES, we'll definitelybe cut buddies!! Can't wait to get started!! =)

ARGH!! this is so TOTALLY not what I wanted to hear!! bummer! I have a feeling this will be my report as well. I am so afraid this weight isn't going to fall off! Hang in there and keep doing what you're doing, we're here for you! =)

I stalk this thread daily for any signs of hope! haha...for real though, for signs that this whole thing is going to WORK!!! I am almost done with my reset in week 7 right now, going to start cut on July 30th after 8 full weeks of reset. I CANNOT WAIT! Don't get me wrong I am going to seriously miss my 2500cal per day…

Awesome!! That's SO GOOD to hear! I'm in week 7 of my reset, going to start cut July 30th (after 8 full wks of reset) and it's SO nice to hear that people are having success....I can't wait and hope and pray that I can report the same thing in a few weeks!! =)

Absolutely crazy that I just found this.....I too am ending week 5 and entering week 6 and am feeling like a miserable, fat, disgusting mess of a person! I just want to cry my eyes out. I have been "ok" for the last 5 weeks, not really gaining much during my reset but yesterday and today have been just terrible...I don't…

oh, and ps - I think we all have very different definitions for the word "bulky"!! I defnitely want strong, toned, lean arms that look sexy but I do NOT want big muscles! I've posted questions before about "heavy lifting" and getting too big, etc. and people always respond with statements like "look at so and so's pics on…

oh hon, don't let people get to you! I couldn't believe that pro ana comment, seriously thought I was reading it wrong! just ignore the snide comments and remarks! people can be hurtful! I think your question is absolutely a fair questions!! We all have parts of our bodies that we don't like and if you have "big" legs then…

good info! thanks for posting this!! I am in the end of week 4, going to head into week 5 here soon and I feel like I'm already at that point that Kiki was explaining (bloat is gone, totally do NOT feel stuffed, honestly feel like I could eat more on some days and I'm eating 2500cal per day, etc). I feel like my weight has…

you look absolutely fabulous!!! I can completely relate to the head-issues you're talking about!! I struggled with anorexia in high school and can't ever remember a time in my entire life that I didn't think about losing weight or being skinny! I have always, always felt like the "fat girl" in the room....no matter what…

I absolutely relate to this! I am so ready to feel that feeling again....4weeks of reset almost down, 4 more to go! ugh.....

I've done basically every single one of Jillian's DVDs (Shred, Ripped in 30, 6wk 6pack abs, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, No More Trouble Zones, etc, etc) and they're all very good! definitely worth your time and if you're a "beginner" they WILL kick your butt. Even the short 25minute ones (like Shred) will work you hard!!…

170?

can't wait until I'm at 138...that's my goal!! currently 150...=)

ohhh, that just made my whole night...haha!! i WISH!! that's my goal weight and I'm on my way there!! currently 150...

ok so now I really want someone to guess me....haha...withOUT looking at my profile where it states my weight! =)

angel823 I would guess 145....

I'm in the middle of week 3 of my reset and doing ok for now...I love coming here and seeing all the positive encouragement!! I haven't really lost or gained during my 3 week reset so far....just tossing around the same 5 pounds as usual. Crazy that I'm eating 2500-2600cals a freaking DAY and not gaining weight!?!?!…

Yes! It would be ok! The recommendations on the EMTWL group specifically state to eat the SAME amount every day no matter what exercise you're doing (once you've run your numbers and picked your amount appropriately). =)

I absolutely TOTALLY get it....I have some of the same fears/hesitations as to whether this is really going to work and have seriously scoured the boards trying to find just one success story of someone who actually truly lost all their weight after doing this whole method (reset, then cut, etc) and haven't found a single…
