I eat about 2700 calories a day. So I do treat myself and I am not as rigid about what I eat as I used to be but I do make most of my food on a daily basis verses buying pre-packaged. It really isn't hard to eat lots and eat clean. Even if you don't make your own nut butters and yogurt you can buy the brands that fall…

I know protein and calcium are two big things in pregnancy. I would check into a website such as Babycenter.com to get a more accurate answer on what amounts. Maybe even check on the Mayo clinic or WebMD websites. Pregnancy can be really hard food-wise. Things you love when you are not pregnant might turn into things that…

I use protein powder in my coffee every morning but its warm, I have never iced it. I make plenty of cold protein shakes and I can't imagine making a mocha one would taste bad. Maybe it depends on the brand of protein powder.

Good for you! What a difference, especially in your BF%!

I was getting ready for bed last night, washing my face in the bathroom. It was later than usual so I was leaning forward on the counter while taking my eye makeup off when I looked at my arms and seen this bump where a persons bicep is! I have always had muscle and definition, but not such noticeable biceps! You know I…

@Graysmom Yes! Its such a trance while binging! I hate when people say, just remember how you felt next time.....Oh I definitely told myself many times during a binge how I was going to regret it and remember how crappy you will feel in the morning but most of the time I ignored it, I didn't care at the time. I HAD to do…

I seriously want to wear a shirt that says "I am doing this on purpose and one day you will see why!"

Before EM2WL I was (am?) a binger. Usually its at night. Yes, sometimes it was me being angry for yet another gain or no loss after strict eating and tons of exercise and I wanted to punish myself. Sometimes I was just so dang hungry and I would think, Oh I'll just have a few....but the motions of eating (yes, always…

I was without internet for a couple days and could only use the app but figured maybe it was a good thing no one had to hear me whine! I was having some pretty rough days there but now catching up with everyone it looks like a trend :grumble: I think I feel better today. I thought going over my TDEE last week caught up…
-
My TDEE is 2643 but I usually go over! I'll log my breakfast, mid-morning snack and lunch then groan when I only have about 1,000 or so calories for the rest of the day :tongue: I am always trying to reach my protein and that uses a lot of calories. I always go over on fats but they are healthy so I don't worry about it…

Only 10lbs!? My babies alone were 10lbs! :laugh:

Thats so inspiring, so happy for you!

Ugh...I agree...Until today I have had some ups and downs but was loving all the positives so much I was ready to go for more! I feel so .....large today that it makes me not like it and that is a first! And that makes me so sad, so far EM2WL has made me so happy! Plus I am still struggling with getting a good macros…

I think I am definitely going to be ready to cut when the time comes! I am only in my 3rd week of the reset but I was worried I was going to be loving eating this much that it was going to be hard to cut. But I am getting anxious to see some inches drop. I will most likely do the 10% cut and I also was considering making…

I am finally making this old Rachel Ray recipe. I will have it for breakfast tomorrow but I can't imagine that it wouldn't taste good! Its baking now but i will report back on the taste: Spinach Ricotta Pie One 10oz pkg of frozen spinach, thawed. One 15 ounce container of ricotta cheese (I used cottage cheese) 8 ounces…

Liked!

Seriously, whats better than a pair of loose jeans? Good to hear :flowerforyou:

:blushing: Oh...stop it...:blushing: Its amazing what I can come up with every so often :wink: I'm just sitting here rooting for you is all! You had made an impact on my life, you are the first person I "met" that was like me. Not afraid to work out, eat healthy but for years struggled to lose and always gaining back what…

When I used to get up in a.m. to work out I did have my alarm placed where I had to get up a bit to turn it off. Then I had all my stuff ready to just grab and go. I would just do it and not think. I didn't usually eat before hand back then but if I did, then I would've had to eat something small then make sure I had at…

I think an Australian size 8 is a four in the U.S. and a 6 in the UK. I was curious so I Googled:bigsmile:
-
I think its up to you to choose. It also depends on how much you have to lose. So if you are pretty close to goal or at goal I believe you would choose the lesser weeks. I am choosing to just do the full 8 because while I am in my normal BMI and even though right now I am only looking to get into a comfortable size 7 (I am…
-
I know you don't want to eat at TDEE and do the reset....but if you aren't willing to do EM2WL in full, then you can't expect the full results. Because even if you don't choose to do the reset, you will still need to bump up to TDEE every so often. I have seen it recommended at 4 weeks, 8 weeks or 10 then to eat at TDEE…
-
I haven't let the gain bother me but I also stay off the scale. I will step on the scale when the reset is done and when I need recalculate my numbers but other than that I focus on how my clothes fit. I don't measure if I feel/look bloated like in the beginning of upping cals or around TOM. I figure whats the point of…
-
Awesome! I only weigh if I have to. If I need to re-work my numbers or at the docs office, etc. I have always weighed a lot anyway and know it that the number doesn't mean much but I too will let it gnaw at me if the numbers go up when I am trying to get them down!
-
I have done it a few times but never had any major results. I always think I see improvement in my arms and shoulders. I loved it for the same reason, a doable 20 min. I could never talk myself out of doing it because its so short. I get through level 1 & 2 but I can never finish level 3. I get bored and the moves are too…

Its been a really long time but I used to get Britney Spears A LOT. A few Drew Barrymores and even an Anna Nicole Smith. Mostly every one just says I look like someone they have seen before.....then proceeds to ask me a million questions to see if we know each other or share a friend.

Great to hear! That is awesome! I am right there with you on not really counting down the days. I am doing the reset so I do have the day to cut on my calendar but I am not really waiting for the days to pass either. So far the days seem to fly by!
