Hey everyone! I'm not new to EM2WL. I've been around here for at least a year but post questions whenever something changes, just ti make sure I'm doing it all correctly. I agree with HeyBales that lifting affects your TDEE less than cardio would, which is why I've always used his spreadsheet to calculate my TDEE since it…

It seems as if the deficit is calculated based on a heavy lifting to cardio ratio. I was wondering if that was valid. I guess I'll try this 20% deficit and see what happens.

Thanks! My clothes, right now, mostly fit the same as they did when I got down to 130.8, so the pieces of clothing I wore when I was this weight the first time around are too big.

I will admit that i've been under tons more stress since i lost the weight last year, so I'm working on that plus making my…
