The Fitbit is giving you your maintenance (TDEE) calories, what you should eat while doing the activity you are doing to maintain your weight. MFP does not consider your activity until you log in your exercise. After logging your exercise, if you chose maintain weight on MFP, the calorie result should be close. To lose…

Exactly. If you are using the EM2WL calculator, you exercise has already been added when you picked your activity level. Just make sure you don't underestimate your activity level. This was you don't have to log your exercise or if you enjoy logging it for the feed, you can put the burn as "1 calorie" burned. Tereza Team…

It will definitely fit in your plan as resistance training. If the resistance is t so much, than use it as cardio. As long as it is challenging and you enjoy doing it, go for it! Tereza Team EM2WL Trainer and Coach

Yay on losing inches! The weight increase is definitely fluctuation from the increase, you got that right. I can't wait to hear about you measurements! Are you excited for meso 2? 2 and three are my favorites! Tereza Team EM2WL Trainer

Well done with STS! If you don't see, but hubby sees, it means changes ARE happening! Have you been taking progress pictures? Today I went over through some progress pics of a friend and even though she couldn't see changes, once I compared and circled the changes, she was amazed. The main difference was in places we don't…

Sometimes it gets hard and we definitely need a break so we can come back stronger and more focused. This is what we should do when life gets tough for whatever reason: "This phase is when you just can’t take on anymore. Maybe you are over stressed. Maybe you are totally overwhelmed with all of the information at your…

This pin leads to an article that is a great read in why you should break up with the scale: http://pin.it/Nl94-ZQ Tereza Team EM2WL Member and moderator

Yay for STS! I am so glad you are enjoying it! It is a program different than everything else, that's for sure. As to add the ab workout to which day, it would depend on how you feel and the time you have to workout. With so many compound exercises on STS, you are already working your core, it's not being neglected. As for…

Good old days of Fat2Fit Russ and Jeff podcasts! They have in common that you should be eating more that whatever fad diet tells you to and you should also eat back your exercise. Protein and working out is important. Go slow and do it for life. Drink your water and other things. Logging, staying accountable. Many…

I loved your confidence and everything else from you post! WTG! Tereza Team EM2WL

As hard as the gain on the scale may be, as awful it is not fitting well into your clothes, seems to me that your body is trying to hold onto anything and everything it can now that you're is metabolism is starting to increase again. It does take time and consistency to get the body trusting you again. Considering how…

Like Ichel said, EM2WL is not a diet, so there is no need for cheat days, treats are part of our life and there's nothing wrong with enjoying them. This is a great article about cheat days and food and how you should actually deal with it from EM2WL: http://pin.it/htr_MTZ…

@ibtmas We usually overlook our mood when eating more or less, but it is a huge measure of progress when braking up with the old diet mentality. Besides the fact that eating the right amounts will help us with hormones and moods changes they cause, not being so stressed out about constantly thinking about food (the moment…

Yay in getting to TDEE! How have you been feeling? Good job on the workouts! Are you feeling more energy? How is your mood? Tereza EM2WL Moderator and Team Member

@beverlyriley900 Meal planning goes a long way. I took me a while to organize myself and even know some days everything goes berserk. I got used to feature one protein, a veggie and a carb for dinner. I cook extra to make sure I have lunch for the next day. If there won't be leftovers, eggs can go a long way. An rotisserie…

Ugh on pulled muscles... I have a stiff neck as I type. Lots of ice, rest, rubbing cooling lotion, stretching, not fun! How are you guys feeling, @beverlyriley900 and @ibtmas? As much as this is. It the case, it's important to keep in mind how to handle injuries: http://pin.it/CBh_47V Tereza Toledo EM2WL Moderator and Team…
