Take the batteries out of the scale and put them in something else...like.. the remote for the ceiling fan! :bigsmile:

I use calipers and I believe they are pretty accurate when used correctly. I go with the 2 same measurements out of 3.

Bravo! Awesome transformation!! :love:

Yes you can absolutely lose cutting @ 10%. It will be slower, but effective. And It would be better to eat consistent daily instead of saving calories for the weekend. Remember you will be working out during the week and you need to fuel your workouts. So under eating during the week and then " making up for it on the…

Hi Rosi! Welcome back! Your activity level looks right. The only suggestions I would make is to just do a 10% cut. And keep your rest days/kids activities just that! The strength classes your mentioned using just 1-2 lbs weights sound like circuit training which is pretty much cardio. Do or will the strength classes ever…

What a Horrible tragedy! I'm so sorry for your loss sweetie. Prayers for you and her family sent! :heart: :heart:

Hey there! We all need a break sometimes!! Its good to stop logging every morsel and calorie and just to relax ! The fact that you didn't gain throughout the holidays is outstanding!! Glad your back!

Cathe Feiderich has a DVD cycle Max that really good. Cathe offers a lot of DVDs for weight training, yoga, and some low impact step, you can do before…

Hi Megan, and welcome! Listen to you body, feed it! How's your protein intake?? Keep your protein high (1-1.3g/lb of bw) and consistent. Are your macros set at 30% protein? Protein keeps you fuller longer! It could be what your eating, not how much! Just a thought! Leg day is brutal for me too! You may need to increase to…

No it's not harmful, but you should continue to try to increase. Some foods I eat to up cals are tuna fish in oil, Greek yogurt and add almonds, choose all real foods no low cal any thing, whole wheat pastas, brown rice, cheese and whole wheat crackers. I also have added a bowl of soup and a salad w/ dressing to both my…

I have not, nor has any of the creators of EM2WL, used the mentioned spreadsheet. We use the Scooby calculator which is based on your activity level.

Does the fitbit you have, have the active minutes feature? If so, Check those numbers out, it could be the day you took less steps you had some extra pep in your step or you were a little more physically active doing other stuff!

If you are eating TDEE method, and you have choose the correct activity level, your deficit shouldn't change regardless of what workouts you are doing.

That's not uncommon, but not the norm! Everyone would love that nice surprise! I would give it another week. You could, in the mean time, just recheck your calculations. What made you decide to do a reset?

I have the fitbit force, I have mine synced to show negative calories, it makes me move more during the day! The negative is the worst in the morning! Don't eat less just Use it to your advantage and take an extra walk! Instead of it dictating your intake let it motivate you to move!! (I too like the dashboard showing the…

Make your diary public so we can see. Or just tell us his much you are eating! Sometimes a plateau means it's time for a diet break. Try eating your maintenance for a week then go back to your cut.

Liked!????

Follow what the book says, you can't go wrong! if you're not sure how do an exercise you can google it and there are my examples on You tube! Body building.com has some good tips also.…

Yes, maybe you could try logging on the weekends or just during the week. But It sounds to me like you're doing great!

Hi, Jordy, so 2194 is after you subtracted the 15%? Wow I'm jealous!! I had to google the 800g and change to lbs which =1 lb that you lost then you gained 1.3 lbs back. Is that right? I think it may be just a fluctuation in weight from water or sodium. I wouldn't worry about this. My weight fluctuates anywhere from 2-4 lbs…

Theses are awesome goals ladies!! And very attainable!!

Actually it happening more to me as I am nearing 50 (6 more months! :drinker: ) What used to work, isn't working any more!! But with strength training and eating a healthy intake, I am getting the body I want!!

Hi and welcome! Great job on your first day!!! You did great! What workouts do you do?

Let's Start focused and finish strong!

Aww!! Love LOVE!! :love: Congrats my dear!! Love how you presented it :flowerforyou:

I'd like to suggest that you stop calorie counting for now and focus on just being mindful with your eating to alleviate some of the stress. That is getting more of your nutrition from whole foods and eating a balanced plate of lean protein, veggies, fruits and whole grains. Don't eat more don't eat less just don't log.…
