Thats a good plan! but i think u should totally skip cardio and just focus on strength. u really were over doing it feeling u out of energy. Just walk your dog for amusement if the weather permits.
-
Wow! Thanx for this. This was already a question in my mind since a few days as i too workout 3x. Mon upper body(40m) Wed legs (30m) and Fri full body (30m).

Hahahaha @empressicheal its just like i used to taste food and would eat about half the serving before measuring it :D
-
WOW!! Love your consistency and your faith in this process! i think if i had to go shopping for a new wardrobe i would have freaked out......lol!anyways i always wear one size up so i am not still in need of new stuff :D keep going gal!
-
No i'm not using scale but use cups to measure. I cook food at home so i know i would not measure the cals upto the mark but would be somewht close. The weight has stabilised since last week so this too gives me some point in accuracy. Thanx for the follow up.

6th Wk.Cals 2432 (2500 TDEE) Last wk wt 83kgs CW 83kgs. So half way down. After a sudden whoop up of 2kgs my weight has atlast stabilised. i was weighing daily and saw fluctuations between 82 and 83 kgs. i'm now sticking to the current numbers. I could also observe some firmness in my body last week and stomach did nt look…

Oh Yess! I Will!

@Firefly0606 you are absolutely right. i know i have not eaten 2000 above maintenance but i was not sure that how much should i wait and watch. after reading some more tdee threads at the em2wl forums i got to know that one should wait 4 to 5 weeks to see the trends if its not leveling out. so i'll give it two more weeks…
-
Yes i've decided to wait and see if the gain continues as since i've started eating at current assumed TDEE the weight is trending upwards only and not leveling out. The em2wl cal give me 2250 numbers as i'm working out 3x. the workouts and food intake is almost the same since three weeks.prior to that i was at 2300 for…
-
@Firefly0606 well i gradually increased my calories and was puffed like a chicken increasing them but then gradually i started feeling hungry and was happy to be at 2k. even though i gained weight my inches reamined the same till 6kgs+ but after reaching 2300+ i've started gaining inches too and i'm a total 10kgs above my…
-
Ok. So if the weight stabilizes u can eat more but what if it does not?. i'm on the sixth week eating at tdee and my weight has trended upwards till then. Should i keep eating these numbers? when did u start seeing a halt in your weight @Firefly0606 ?

5th week. Cals2438 (TDEE2500) Last week wt. 81kgs CW 83kgs. Total of 4.4lbs gain since the previous week. i know i did'nt eat 2000 above the maintainence. Last week was TOM so i expected some gain but this week seemed unexpectedly high. i was wondering that being 5th week on TDEE should'nt the weight get stable now? After…
-
Thankyou so much @TerezaToledo and@empressichel ur words give a good pat at the back! :) @Firefly0606 thats great to be moving together. i'll see where these numbers would take me still not sure of my potential TDEE.

4th week Cal- 2421(TDEE 2500) last wk wt-80.5kgs CW -81kgs This was an excellent week since i started increasing cals. no bloating, no weight fluctuations(weight was constant mostly),better energy and most of all i was confident of what i'm doing!!
-
I started increasing my cals from 13/1400 in Aug and hav gained a total of 13lbs and almost 3-4 inches everywhere! working out 3x. i'm at 24-2500 cals trying to find my true TDEE by having a look on the scale.its my fourth week now.i dont hav any thyroid prob and no fitbit or any step counter. i think u need a metabolic…

3rd week TDEE 2500( according to @haybales spreadsheet working out 3×) weekly cals 2437 + 2lb previous week weight 79.5kgs CW 80.5kgs Now is the time to watch the scale and see. since i started increasing cals i was 74 kgs then. gained 8 kgs till 2300 intake. after that every week is up 2lb approx. total gain till now is…
-
2nd week on eating at TDEE 2350. Average cals this week were 2303. I got confused about my numbers so with the help of haybales spreadsheet i got to know that my tdee would be more than 2350 with 4x times of workouts. I am now lowering my workouts to 3x which still gives me a number of 2550 which as also increased due to…
-
Good work on getting to your TDEE and ditching the scale. I do weigh myself but am not fretting about it. Also started increasing in inches now! Keep going u r doing great!
-
Great! It would be exciting to know your updates as we r on the sane boat! How much did u gain during your reset? All eyes on ya;)
-
And its also funny when people r commenting me that u r gaining weight (because they have always seen me lean and struggling with weight loss ) and i reply its on purpose ;)
-
Another 2lbs up eating at Tdee after 9 days. I find half inches increase everywhere too. Should i be consistent on eating 2350 cals and see what it brings? I have selected moderately active but i see that even if i workout four days a week it does not mean four hours of workouts. Sometimes my workouts r 35 mins maximum…
-
Hey @jerilynconn so good to see u back! I'm at my reset and whenever i gain a number somewhere in the back of my mind i have your picture! Ur positivity impressed me and i started increasing cals once going back down! All the best this time. U can do it.
-
@heybales This is such a clear explanation! I got it. This is the reason why ppl eating low cals for most of their life ( like me) increase weight while increasing cals coz the prior has become their tdee. Thanx for elaborating.
-
@TerezaToledo Yes the workouts were great, also added an extra set for total three sets of 10-12 reps. Mood? Uh? Was this the reason?Even though had to shovel food into my mouth I've been smiling more and less tensed the whole week!!! Early mornings r better with less growling stomach!
-
Yes i too thought u were not yet at your tdee. If u r not able to handle more food u can lower your workouts to lower your tdee level so that u can catch up with your numbers!
-
Yaaay!! First week eating at Tdee. Tdee at moderately active is 2350. Ate 2304 weekly.C43P26F31 SW 74kgs CW 78kgs Inches fluctuate between 1 more or one less. Workouts(no cardio) 4 times/week almost 40-45 mins.
-
How many calories did u take?
-
@heybales I read these words 50 times or more! So this means that we should keep eating at maintenance until the weight stabilises and dont lose anymore.
