I am right there with you...I lost 35 lbs lifting weights and cardio and eating around 1200 calories a day then I stopped lifting and was doing just cardio (BIG MISTAKE) I thought it would help me loose the last 10lbs. I started gaining weight even though I was hardly eating and doing cardio. In 2 years I gained almost…

Bump for info!!

Bump ;)

Bump....Yum Thanks!

I would love to have the recipe. I like to do shakes. I will share some of my recipes also.. :happy: Tammy

Best of Luck.. There is a lot of good information here. I am 7 weeks in to my reset I have gained 5 lbs but I can tell that I am building muscle. My BF% is 27.6 it was 36% when I started EM2WL. I have increased my weight's in the gym.. I know this is going to work!!! I am looking forward to following your progress. Tammy

Wow you look AMAZING!!! I started out right where you were. I am 5'ft also.. We have no room for excess weight:huh: I did take some starting pictures. Since I am doing a reset I have gained some weight. It is a little hard to wrap my head around that I have to gain weight first in order to loose weight:grumble: .. I have a…

Awesome job! You look amazing...

Great Info! Love to Lift!!

I am 6wks in to my reset and I am feeling very bloated... I am getting the ACV and starting this... Thanks, Tammy

I knew what had to be done so I jumped right in with both feet. It took me about a week to get to 2065. I was really feeling full and had to stuff my self to get all of the calories in sometimes I fall a little short on my calories but I try not to do that very often.. I drink protein shakes with all kinds of good stuff in…

You sound just like me.. I was 128lbs 2 years ago I was barley eating and still trying to loose that last 10lbs. I was running 3x a week 3 to 5 miles each time I ran and doing Zumba 3x a week and workingout at the gym when I could. I was still unhappy with the way I looked. Then I started gaining weight and It wouldn't…

Way to Go!!! I started 1 month a go and I took pictures.. I hope I make as much progress as you in 1 year!

I'm 5' I eat 2065 calories a day. I also lift weights 3x a week and do cardio 2x a week. It all depends on your activity level. Do you workout? I found a lot of good information from this group EM2WL here on MFP. I had hit a plateau and actually started gaining my weight back. What I read on EM2WL actually made since to…

Oatmeal with 1tbsp of peanut butter and 1tbsp of brown sugar. A dish of strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. A great kick start to your day!

I found it at Walmart where the scales are. It makes it a lot easier to measure. Sorry it took me so long to resond I was out of town for a few days.. Tammy

Bump.. For later

To go with the Wine!

Good Luck!!! I will be watching to see how it goes...I am beginning my 3rd week in to my reset.. I am still doing a little cardio because I like to run.. I have a couple of 5K's coming up and a 10K I do every year in October so I can't imagine compleately giving up my running but I have cut back and that is the only cardio…

So I went out and bought a digital scale so it would weight more accurately and so I can see the numbers:laugh: . I also bought a digital measuring tape I think I am going to like it It is easier to use by myself. so I took all of my measurements today since I haven't lifted in a couple of days ( I am going to the gym…

I just started EM2WL 2 weeks ago. I am doing a reset. I have increased my calories so far I have no gained any weight I haven't lost any either. But I have really increased my time and weight in the gym. I know I am building muscle.. It's just hidden under all if my fat right now:laugh: I had lost 35lbs and over the last 1…

I weighed today actually it was tonight at the gym and I have gained 2 lbs in almost 2 weeks. I just saw this post about valid weigh-ins... I did not use a valid weigh in. I didn't know about this so I will weigh again on Sat morning. I have been eating close to my TDEE. I am not sure if I need to increase or am I eating…

Okay I guess I am going to have break down and get on the scales. I haven't weighed since I started eating at what I believe is my TDEE 2065. So from what I gather I should have gained some weight. If not I should increase my calories a little more until I start to gain some weight. Then stay there for my reset. Right?

bump.. I need this...:wink:

I am new also, feel free to add me Tammy

I have been eating more for 1 week now and I love it.. I have 2 daughters they are older 19 and 22 . I work full time and Work out 4-5 days a week. Feel free to add me. Tammy

i just upped mine last week from 1200 to 2065 which is my TDEE it has taken me almost all week to increase my calories. I feel so much better I work out 5 or more days a week I have cut back on my cardio and started increasing the weight I am lifting. I glanced through this thread to see if any one has mentioned EM2WL (…

Hi Micaela, I am right there with you.. I was working out and eating maybe 1200 calories a day ( some of mine was junk) :wink: and I couldn't loose weight. I even started putting back on some of the weight I lost earlier. Once I got on to MFP it was a few weeks and I came across this group.:love: I started reading a lot of…

Thank you so much for all of your advice :flowerforyou: I managed to eat almost all of my calories today...:bigsmile: Yea!! I had a great work out . I have started working out with my husband rather than by myself and he is really challenging me.. I have upped my weights I am feeling really good about this.. I guess I…
