I love mine!! Well worth the money. I love seeing the numbers though...I hate trusting calculators and the "average" numbers. So, mine gives me peace of mind of what I'm doing. Love it!

I wouldn't mind being a part of it....although I'm starting Chalean extreme tomorrow....Is that legal and still me in your group?? :)

Awesome job!! Thanks for the update...we are all on pins and needles waiting to hear how everyone is doing!

You guys are fantastic! It's so reassuring to hear everyones up and downs and whys and hows. Thanks!! I'm on day 5 of my cut and I AM HUNGRY!! I absolutley cannot believe 2 months ago I was eating 500 calories LESS than I am today and I was able to function(sort of). I have been over my goal EVERY DAY this week :) I also…

I've decided to start my cut today after 7.5 wks! I can't believe it's been that long...and I'm glad yet sad it's over. I noticed last night after eating at my TDEE how hungry I still was....I went to bed with my stomach growling!!! Overall my reset: only a 2lb weight gain, no huge signaficant change in inches, but a huge…

So, I have some "reassuring news". I'm starting week 6 of reset. Yay! 2 more weeks! So, we had a stressfull week. My husband was called out (he's a police officer) to help with wildfires/evacuations/a festival right smack in the middle of 2 wildfires...anyway, he had to leave for about a week. I am a big baby. I love my…

Thank You! This answered sooo many questions of what to look for! Hit the nail on the head for me and now I'm excited to say that I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track!

I've listened to few on Fat2Fit....

I'm here and checking in but I don't comment a lot...the strong-silent type :wink: You guys rock and I absoluetly love the support here! I'm starting week 5 of reset! No changes at all for me. During Week 2 I bloated out and have looked prego ever since, scale hit the high end of the same 3lbs I've been tossing around for…

Yay!! You give us hope!! :)

I have a Polar FT4...with a strap and you honestly can't even tell it's there!! It's totally comfortable! I absolutely LOVE it and I would definitely recommend it. My model is nothing too fancy...just heart rate and calories--that's all I use. Not too expensive either!

I ate at 1800 for 4 weeks (with no results), so I decided to up to a full reset, 2300. It was hard the first few days....a lot more food, feeling bloated and FULL, but after a couple days it got easier and I had a lot more energy! Peanut Butter, tall glasses of milk, oil... all became my friends again!

You are Amazing!! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks!

Quick clarificaton question (hope it hasn't been answered, although I'm sure it has....somewhere:ohwell: ). Do you know you've hit your magic maintance # WHEN you start seeing a real gain?? I've been a159-162 for 7 months....whether I ate at 1200, tried 1800 and now day 4 of 2288 (my Tdee # from scooby--I don't have…

I upped my calories +6 wks ago (1260 to 1800) and I have not had any changes, scale or inches. So, today I decided to start a "reset" and try that way for several weeks (they say 8, but man that is a long time!! ;O) and then lower back down to my cut. I'm hoping this is the answer for me since I've been plateaued for at…

PS...... Do we continue exercising as normal??

Okay! I have been eating at 1260ish cal or about a year. The first few months dropped almost 20 lbs....then nothing....for 7 months..... I swear I have tried everything! Saw the EM2WL group and joined, upped my calories because it made sense to me and I was hungry :smile: 6 weeks ago I upped to 1800 (TDEE-15%) and still no…

I have a Polar ft4 and I LOVE IT! It's easy, basic (as long as you don't need gps). I got mine on Amazon for about 60ish?? Not bad at all and I gotta say I'd pay that and more if I had to do it again! I love it and won't ever exercise again without it :) But I'm a geek and love to know my exact efforts!

Wow!! I just got on here to see if anyone had ideas as to why, after 7 weeks, I was still the same! I ate at 1200 for a long time and 7 weeks ago started eating more at 1600.....then finding this group I upped to 1800. And still absolutely no progress...no weight off (or gained for that matter) no inches lost either. So, I…

Gotta say I'm excited for this group!! I feel twice the accountability now!! haha! Seriously looks like a fun and great group to be a part of!! Thanks Julie!

I am at my 4th week....went from 1300 to 1800. I have not gained or lost anything. I was told to give it 4-6 wks since I was at 1200/1300 for so long. I figure at least I'm not gaining, right? We shall see!!

"Do or Do Not... There is no try"----Master Yoda :happy:

Keep your chin up Todd!! This is not easy!! All of us have been discouraged! Add some friends (feel free to add me) to help keep your attitude and motivation up---it makes a world of a difference. MFP has great people, tools and motivation!! Keep it up!!!

I married my best friend after 8 years of friendship....10 yrs of awesome marriage later... :) Everyone is different, but I think the kissing thing is dumb.... I felt it for him, he felt it for me and neither of us "acted" on it --who wants to ruin a great friendship. It was him telling me that did the trick for us. Just…

Thanks for this! I finally gave in and upped my calories to OVER my BMR (instead of MFP's suggestion of UNDER). I got say, It's only been 3 days and I'm still nervous! It seems crazy to eat so much more, but I've been at a stand still for so long and I'm tired all the time. So, I'm hoping this is what I need. Thanks!! :)

Thank you!

ADD ME!!! I'd love to swap motivation with anyone!! The more the merrier.....it's a bit easier when you have some friends on your side!

Friend request sent! It's always a bit easier with friends!!

I've been there!! Feel free to add me! I'm always looking for more friends to help keep me motivated and motivate in return! It always seems a bit easier with friends!!
