My last cut was 6 weeks, and followed by about 2-3 weeks maintenance.. Im now nearing the end of my next 6 weekish cut and will eat at maintenance likely for the rest of Aug. Kelly Team EM2WL

Generally you dont want to give your body time to adjust to a lower calorie amount.. I usually stick to 6 weeks. If you do 10, just keep in mind you want to go back to maintenance for a solid 3-4 weeks following. if you take a lower time, usually you can do less time at maintenance.. Each cut you definitely learn more…

I saw your bead work on your profile! its looking wonderful!!

10 is pretty long... Most people don't find anything happening until after a few rounds of cutting. Its diet mentality thinking that things would magically start vanishing the second we cut. And I was guilty of thinking it too... Hard one to get around:)... but most seem to find after 3-5 cuts is when differences are…

First, welcome to the group! I hope you take the time to read through our stickies at the top of the community page which will help walk you through EM2WL and what we believe in. Your Fitbit is an estimate. So take it with a grain of salt. Chances are your TDEE could be higher because the fitbit cannot account for the…

Awesome results Mary Ann!!! You are #crushing it!!

Other ways to gauge can include how you feel, how you sleep, your energy levels, how your clothes fit etc.. TDEE is still just an estimate so a lot depends on the person and how much they are wiling to let go of.. the scale is a hard one for people to get rid of, so watching the numbers can help SOME people, but if you…

Fitbit is a decent indicator if you are doing nothing but cardio based activities. The second you start lifting weights, Your TDEE is actually HIGHER than what fitbit will tell you simply because it cannot account for the afterburns that lifting gives you. This is why our community exists.. we arent like the "general" MFP…

Your fitbit says you burn 2600 cals, and you are only eating 1600? You are not eating enough. You are in deficit by 1000 calories, which is over 40% of your daily requirement. I would suggest reading our quick start guide to get you started, and then read through the links posted in our community stickies so you have a…

You are definitely active, so high end of moderate to strenuous would be right on where you need to be. Again its not a science so a lot of it is playing around a bit with numbers to see where your target lies. TDEE is just the target number. A reset takes place on the way up to TDEE AND includes staying at TDEE. Going…

Welcome to the group:) First, know that all your questions are common and normal thinking. We all overthink, overprocess and stress over the little things during a reset. The things you need to ask yourself is what really matters to you. You said you are sleeping better and generally feeling better. How much is that worth…

Im not sure what you are reading in this article, but i dont see anything in it that says the claims you state above, about being a head case or in hysterics or lying about binging? Are you sure you posted the right article? Also Alan Argon is not part of EM2WL... so im not sure what you mean by that? When it comes down to…

Things you can do to get in the cals and not feel like you are stuffing your face... Protein Shakes and Bars Oils.. cook with it, add it to your salads, mix in with smoothies (flax seed oil is good for this) Spreads and Condiments.. go crazy:) Extra ounce or two of protein at meals Low density foods like nuts, dried fruits…

Welcome back! I think I saw your post in our FB online community as well? Glad you found us there! one thing to keep in mind, especially with a marathon race, is that you DEFINITELY need more food than normal. You can burn in excess of 1500 cals in a marathon, let alone the weeks and weeks of training days leading up.. So…

Im glad the healing is going well. Just remember, things are healing, so swelling and bloating from meds will take time to go away. just keep things light and take it easy:) Kelly Team EM2WL

Fitbit is actually pretty close to accurate, as long as all you are doing is cardio based activites like walking, running, and such. Once you start lifting weights, the fitbit cannot account for those burns, so thats when you need to be aware that you are actually burning more than your gadget says. So if you are burning…

I wouldnt fixate on the weight numbers. You can focus on fat loss, which happens with eating the right amount of cals, and weight lifting. These things will help change your body shape, giving you the look you are likely after, without losing "weight".. its a big misconception that scale weight means "gained weight"... and…

We actually have our own calculator now:) http://eatmore2weighless.com/weight-loss-calculator/ Our calculator has the same numbers for you. I would actually look at why you want to lose ten pounds. i think based on your height and weight currently, you dont "need" to lose "weight"... you may want to lose fat, which means…

Resetting is complicated for many. Its not as easy as finding what the calculators or your gadget tells you your number is, then eating it and being "cured". TDEE is a guideline, an estimate of what your body burns. So its a bit of a guessing game to figure it out. It isnt as easy as watching the scale rise up and gauging…
