I'm really not here to debate, since, as stated, this post was written to incite the masses. (I simply don't have time for that, I have my own hate mail to tend to...) We are all adults, and will ultimately do what we want to do anyway. I'm sorry that you did not experience the results that you were looking for, whatever…

:noway: :noway: :noway: :noway: :noway: :heart: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO proud of you, girl! I KNOW you have been such a soldier over the past few months, and IT SHOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!! :drinker: :love: :love: :love: Great progress, girl! ~Kiki

You typically only need a reset if you ate too low for too long, but that could mean different things to different people. I'd try sticking to what *should* be your cut (TDEE -15%), for at least 6 weeks before making any adjustments. You may find that you didn't need a reset after all:wink: , but just more time for your…

Aww, girl, don't get down on yourself. I think many of us felt like that at times. Especially those of us who lost a lot on vlcd. You are on the right track now and that's what matters. Just know that there will be times where it seems like you're at a standstill or that progress is slow. During those times just remember…

Oh, Lucia...I love your progress too, lol! But you've already heard that from me a hundred times..:laugh: RIPPED TWIN makin a comeback!!!! :wink:

Heidi, first - I :heart: you! Second - HOW amazing is your story?! It's the epitome of the "wait, have patience" motto that everyone and their momma I tired of hearing us talk about! I plead with you to let me also add that testimony to the site :love: , where it can be an ultimate source of inspiration for…

Congrats on your decision to increase cals! I know it can be scary, but it's a worthy journey. :flowerforyou: I love what you said about being in the moment. I've had to learn to do that as well. Sometimes I just have to stop myself, look around, and say..."THIS is a moment I will enjoy and remember" Always seems like the…
-
I hear ya. Cutting cals sucks big time. :grumble: Your body usually adapts to it, though. Do you have any device (BMF/Fitbit, etc) to go off of other than the online calcs? I found my TDEE in a similar way to what you said you did (without the online calcs): I found the number that I was *actually* maintaining at, and…

I'm on vacation....but I just posted this in my newsfeed: You guys have no idea how this has impacted my day/week/vaca, etc. My peeps here are wondering what the heck is wrong with me, all teary eyed all day. Lol.. I came on this trip feeling the *exact* opposite of everything I say all day, every day. Who would imagine…
-
I wonder the same. I miss them both. :( I usually assume the best when I DON'T hear from people though, lol. But that's probably just me...most people are most vocal in the beginning or when having problems. Most of those with the greatest success slowly fade as they discover the plethora of things of concern in the world…
-
LOL. I popped in to tell you that I answered your question over on the site forum, but the e-book will tell you everything I left out lol. Well if you have any other questions, let us know ;) ~Kiki
-
:flowerforyou: You can do it! Just stay consistent. Read through the success stories thread and the stories on website to gauge an idea of how long it took others and what they went through. For some people things happen immediately and others (i.e. ME :grumble: ) need patience. But the results are SO worth it. You *have*…

Saw this today and thought of you... After 90 days, he gained 5 lbs, but decreased bodyfat by 2%. Even when the scale is NOT moving, it doesn't mean that things aren't happening. And he had to go a full 3 months wondering if he was spinning his wheels, I'm sure...…
-
Yay! It really is progress! To the naked eye it wouldn't seem like it, but to be able to lose eating so much more is a WIN & so worth the reset :D ~Kiki
-
Love, love, love this!!! You DESERVE to feel great & appreciate the body that you fuel properly, & have worked so hard for :)
-
Have you taken pics? We will usually see the same person when we look in the mirror, because we are looking daily. Having pics from 6 months ago, then today will tell a more complete story. If you were new to lifting, then it is extremely likely that you've developed muscle at the same rate that you're losing fat, leaving…

This post is the epitome of the EM2WL mindset. You have taken your life back! :drinker: It is MOST DEFINITELY A SUCCESS!!! So inspiring :flowerforyou: Congrats, girl! ~Kiki

From a cal standpoint, they're all the same, except bulk, which is above TDEE. ~Kiki

:heart: :love: :heart: :love: Krystal for president!!!! :flowerforyou:
-
Lol you sound exactly like me. I just wanted to push the limits because I know that I like food and I needed to be able to eat plenty of it when I was maintaining...so I was willing to push it. It did take me a while though. But it sure was worth it! :drinker:
-
Yes everybody's TDEE is different that's what makes this such an individualized journey. The only way that you would know for sure-ish of what your maintenance would be other than trusting your instincts, would be to use a device such as a BMF (body media fit), fit bit, or getting your RMR tested. But, yes eating more does…
-
All the advice here rocks :love: Nothing more to add here, except....don't forget to take pics!!! :bigsmile: Often the progress is seen there or the tape measure waaaaay before the scale stops spewing lies :tongue: ~Kiki
-
Hey we actually did a video about this. I don't know if you've watched any of our videos before but we addressed if EM2WL was for everyone and that is what that topic is about. So I hope that you will keep going. :bigsmile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nepewrLE_eE&feature=youtube_gdata_player ~Kiki

lol! Someone had just asked me that the other day which sparked this ramble :tongue: on my newsfeed a few days ago (everything sparks a ramble :ohwell:) : " Someone asked the other day why I want to be able to eat so much, lol. So I should clarify... It's not just to be gluttonous ...ok, maybe a little, lol...but more so…

Kiki + cardio = :sad: :mad: :angry: :grumble: :noway: :sick: :laugh: :laugh:

I.am so.IN!!!! :bigsmile: :drinker: ~Kiki

ROFL....the crazy thing is I was just pondering that this past weekend! Haha. (you know me...always looking for new ramble outlets :P) but talked myself down, figuring my blah, blah, be patient, blah, blah would quickly run any brave listener off :yawn: :laugh:
-
Yes, you sound very wise :wink: I love the NSV in the signature. I wish there were ways to have signatures here :ohwell:

20lbs, BABY!!!! AND COUNTING :tongue: Lol. I'm so short that I now appreciate that 20lbs SO much more than I did 7+ years ago when I reset! :grumble: ROFL higher weight = more FOOD! :love: I eat more now than I did in my teens and 20s! LOVE :heart: ~Kiki
