Maybe some renegade rows?

I have had many nurses from different offices say how the scales at doctor offices are never calibrated and they don't really give much thought with weight since it fluctuates so much. So depending on the scale it can be way off. Yes, every time I go to the doctor its always with a full belly! :flowerforyou:

This is me, too! My husband always talks about how dedicated I am:love: We have been together since we were teenagers so he has seen all my struggles and has seen me never give up, always trying to lose fat. He always tells me how he would have gave up a long time ago. Especially since he has no interest in eating healthy…

I was thinking about this the other day! It sort of makes sense.... if I can jump in after years of yo-yo dieting at my 15% cut and my body treat it as my TDEE, then I upped it to my actual TDEE to do a actual reset and my body is maintaining at that, it made me wonder if it would be possible to bump a tad higher and see…

I am working on cutting back and learning to take full rest days. So far I cut my running down from 6 days a week to 3-4. I stopped doing Jillian Michaels DVDs and now strength train with hand weights 3 days a week and don't run on those days. I do end up going for walks on those days to get out of the house since I work…

Yeah I don't know.....hopefully I will stay there, thats my ultimate goal!! I haven't really mentioned what I am doing to friends or family other than my Husband so I would like to use my progress/success to show and prove to quite a few people I know that they don't have to live that way.

Have you increased your protein significantly? When I first got into protein powder I started ordering it online. They also sent some fiber powder with it for free. After a bit I figured out why...... I have never been constipated in my life and always regular and I noticed when a day or two would pass. Not constipation…

Currently I am eating at Maintenance, but I am eating about 1,000 more calories a day! I am very active so this will change in a few weeks when I cut it by 15% to start to lose again and when it gets colder out I usually don't run. I hate the dreadmill! I will still do some sort of cardio but much less. I can't believe for…

This is their objective, to make more money. Instead of consumers buying one 20oz, now people will buy 2 or more,

Yes, sounds great! Banning sugary drinks will surely reverse obesity rates. Ban it all, that stops people! Excuse me while I go do a bump before I smoke a joint........ :noway:

Feel free to look through mine! I do have some junky food in there but I am coming from eating pretty strict and clean for the past 3 years, almost two of that with no weight loss so I am letting myself indulge more! Eating perfect didn't help me lose anyway and I am working on loosening up a bit :wink: I make more of my…

Yeah...mine has been telling me for a year and a half how much I will lose if everyday was the same.....it lied then, too:noway:

Good to know! I keep going over my carbs and fats. I think I have my carbs and protein macros mixed up so I'll have to re-check that. I have been splurging since EM2WL but I am coming from years of very clean eating. I didn't eat out at any type of restaurant unless I HAD to. Monday after a day of hiking with my family we…

Interesting you say that about headaches, Karin, I have been having a reoccurring one these past few days.... Well I am definitely going to work on resting more since what I was doing in the past hasn't worked! There was this time in my life I refer to as "the fluke" where I was super fit and thin after my 2nd daughter. I…

Giggle:love:

I am up to 2600 a day. My only problem is not going over! I am not shy about eating:love:

I am so happy to hear you say that! I was beginning to think I was the only one who thoroughly enjoys eating 2600 calories! 300 cals extra than I thought? Sure! I did my cut for 3 weeks and now doing the reset I do feel a little bloated, like I have the fat suit on but also I am getting into TOM territory so that could…

Great news!

It is important to give those muscles you worked a good rest. I have a hard time having a full rest day. I am working on it, but right now I cut it down to do weights 3 days, HIIT 3 sometimes 4 days. I am probably in the too much category. Even on weight days I go for a walk with my daughters and do some slight running. My…

So great to read this! So happy for you for results! And not just the fact that you had 6 kids, but you also made the time for you to accomplish this! A very inspiring story :flowerforyou:

I will send a request. I have been eating more for 3 weeks but just started doing it properly (in my case) with a full metabolism reset!

Thats what I was figuring, heavier weights. I feel it, but i can get through all reps until the third set to where I struggle a bit. I am working on buying more weights but right now I just can't buy a bunch at a time. I am hoping to find a used set.

I thought this too....but then I imagined September which will come all too quickly and how I'll pick a day to start the reset and I know my future self will think, I should've just started the reset back in May and I would be done with it. SO even though its not great timing I am just doing it anyway. get it done and over…

Great, thanks!

I am in! I plan on going for the full 8 weeks at full TDEE. I have been doing the 15% cut for 3 weeks now and it has gone by so fast. Earlier in the year I decided to try the 17 day diet. I am so not that type, but after years and years of constant exercise and low calories and never hearing about eating more, I felt it…

This is what keeps me going. All those years of heavy exercise and low calories didn't get me to goal. I have tried and tried and I was miserable and it just didn't work. I am fully in this to go all the way through. When I found EMTLW I was basically ready to throw in the towel for good anyway and let come what may!! But…

I am hoping that since I am 3 weeks in, I won't gain much more at TDEE since I have already gained some. I hate that I am doing this right at summer time:grumble: but I have been loving EMTLW so much so far and have had so many other positive things happen that I am willing to just keep on going through with it all!

Guilty....Was sort of thinking of using my 3 weeks in to count for part of the eight since I know some days I was so hungry I did eat at TDEE:blushing: But I have been talking myself out of it. I have a girls trip to Vegas and if I stop short it would be before the trip, if I do a full proper 8 wks its a little after so…

No, I get it. I try to keep things brief because otherwise I feel like I am writing a book! I should have quoted it, but someone had said something about men wanting a shaven woman because of some inner want of liking young girls.....just rubbed me the wrong way. No hard feelings. I see it on here and from girlfriends…

Thank you! I am going to trust you and start today. I am always up for more food!:love:
