Nothing new. In week 4 of string curves so same there. Walking the same. It's been far less humid here so sweating much less actually. No unusual stressors that aren't always around. Lol. Nothing I can think of. I've been racking my brain and nothing. Mondays weigh in will be interesting. If I drop than It was nothing but…

Well not really once. I had a 2.2 weight gain and another 2 the following week and then this. So on July 20th I weighed 187.2 and yesterday 192.4. That's 5.2 lbs in 3 weeks. Not TOM either.

Uh oh. Scale said 192.4 (that's up 1.2lbs) and 2474 cals yesterday. No lifting since Friday (cardio sat as always. Rest as always Sunday and lifting tues thurs sat this week. ...normal ). ???

Week 1 Cals 2027 (up from 3 weeks of 1200) 7 lb gain. No bodymedia worn Week 2 cals 2654 stayed the same . No bodymedia worn Week 3 cals 2931 Up 1 lb (TOM week) Body media avg cals burned 2667 Week 4 cals 2809 up 2.2 lbs Body media avg cals burned 2379 Week 5 cals 2757 -2.8 body media avg cals burned 2395 Week 6 cals 2973…

Thank you! I'm just plugging along. LOL I keep going over my TDEE I think by a smidge but eh. It's all good. As l long as I'm resetting. I'll figure it out. I'll keep updating, too! I searched for these updates when I was beginning. I didn't just want to read the "I lost 4 lbs when I started eating more" since I knew there…

I have to chime in and second Mandy's sentiments. The first time I tried a reset, I wasn't mentally there. I was doing it to help me lose weight. This time (just started week 8) I'm doing it for the mental break and I've also let go of all numbers. No scale weight bugs me...no pants being tight.....I'm just over it. I have…

Good morning! Back from Newport....data. Week 1 Cals 2027 (up from 3 weeks of 1200) 7 lb gain. No bodymedia worn Week 2 cals 2654 stayed the same . No bodymedia worn Week 3 cals 2931 Up 1 lb (TOM week) Body media avg cals burned 2667 Week 4 cals 2809 up 2.2 lbs Body media avg cals burned 2379 Week 5 cals 2757 -2.8 body…

Right. Gotcha. I mostly don't mind wearing it and I like the data. If I'm going to the beach I slip it off in the car and stick it back on when I get back....I'm mostly sedentary at the beach so I don't think it matters to adjust it at all for that. Re 2.2 lb weight gain....TOM came 3 days early (usually 28 day cycle this…

Also, question....how long do you guys think I need to wear the armband before I get an accurate estimate to use for TDEE without wearing it forever?

Thanks, retire! And heybales...i didn't miss a workout just switched days that week (I usually lift Mon wed fri but that week I did mon wed sat). So i was just comparing Fridays because other than that it's always the exact same day. I am, however, switching programs to strong curves from icecream fitness. I'm thinking…

Okay!!! Update. Lost 2.8 Week 1 Cals 2027 (up from 3 weeks of 1200) 7 lb gain. No bodymedia worn Week 2 cals 2654 stayed the same .

About an hour and 20 mins. 2 warm up sets for the big exercises (bench, squat, etc). 5 working sets. Right now I'm doing 2 min rest sets because I'm putting up Pr's for me for some exercises(curled Barbell 55...for 3 sets of 8...I need 2 mins recovery there). Squats aren't my max yet but working sets of 100 and bench is 90…

Yay!!!!!

Oh, I'm sorry...numbers really screw with us. Is it TOM time? More stressors than usual? Activity? What's been going on this week and maybe we can figure it out. You know you didn't eat 17,500 calories OVER your maintenance, right? That would be 2500 cals per day over your maintenance. So logically, that didn't happen.…

So more data for you just FYI re bodymedia..... Fridays are usually all the same....lift, go to the dump, work, and night job.....yesterday, I took off from lifting so I have numbers to compare since the other things were the same...just for datas sake. July 3rd with lifting 2713 Yesterday with no lifting 2585 So lifting…

Lol. I'm terrible at selfies. Sorry for the blue.

Thank you retire. I appreciate it. And heybales thanks. I'm thinking 2500 this week should be about avg burn. Will update next week.

And blue dress is 178 ish after 2 weeks of 1200 the one on the right is yesterday...190 and 4 weeks of reset. Just for reference.

Maybe some other numbers might be helpful to see (for me, too). I spent most of this year (and last) hovering around 184-186lbs .....cals about 1700 ish.... I dropped down to 179.6 after 3 weeks of 1200. Then I started my reset. Week 1 Cals 2027 (up from 3 weeks of 1200) 7 lb gain.( 186.6) No bodymedia worn Week 2 cals…

No. I awl outside only once a week and early. Usuall in in the treadmill in the ac. It has been humid. But my clothes don't fit and I am visibly bigger so some of it is fat gain anyway. I know that. You think I should stay at 2800 another week or walk it back to 2600?

That was week 4. Wk 1 was up 7 Wk 2 same. Wk3 +1 TOM Wk 4 +2.2

Ok. So up 2.2 lbs with cals avg 2810 this week. 3 days lifting. 3 days walking. I know it's not possible to have eaten over maint by that much. So what's up you think?

Just checked Thurs last week and Thurs this week.... .8-.9 both days. That does not appear to have changed. Weird?

So bodymedia seems to be lowering burn again (after wearing it for some weeks). Last Weds 2634 This weds 2415 very similar days....lifted worked same evening activities. Last Thurs 2824..this Thurs 2676 Both cardio days (1 hour walk) and work day and similar evening. Am I burning less or is the armband getting more/less…

Ok...cals 2900 ish (guessed 2 days from party foods)....TOM right now and I'm up 1 lb. I can't believe it. Really. LOL Plan next week....same exact thing as this week. 2900 daily. 3 days lift (5x5 program with some accesories) and walk (LISS) 3 days for an hour. 1 day of rest. Work is 3 days (housecleaner...work alone...3…

Ah. Ok. So maybe the underestimating on things like lifting and afterburn from lifting and the over estimating from cardio et al will balance out here. I'll let you know my findings after a good month or 2 of data.

It shows up but the whole thing isn't vigorous. Only 4 mins of it is. So I'll just continue to use it as a base. How often have you found it to be over estimating daily burn? I've heard lots of people outside of this forum say it does but in here most people say it underestimates. I know you've done some research/study on…

So regarding cals burned lifting.....yesterday was a normal day for me and I lifted. Burn from armband was 2713 (estimate from body media said it should be 2720 so I'm impressed with how close that was). So can I assume that the burn was actually more? The day before was a cardio day and burned 2824. My eating goal was…

Ah...ok....so I'll continue to collect data...I'm only just beginning now Week 1 was a gain, obviously. Week 2 was stayed the same. Week 3 is coming on Tuesday. I'll report back.
