Ill ask another messageboard, i remember why i left this place.

Amazing

Ive been on MFP for years and have never followed the calculator. I lost 40 pounds years ago and recently gained 10. I used the scooby calculator and it put me around 1500 calories which is below my BMR and thats not going to work. I know it has to be higher than my BMR

BC itself doesnt cause weight gain which I know. Its just unfortunately, one of the side effects is weight gain.

Calorie deficit is not working. Before I started BC I lost all the wieght i needed to lose and was maintaining. The weight I have gained wasnt from over eating, thats for sure.

Im not taking nor am i gonna take BC again. Many women have complained about weight gain after BC. Its fairly common.

It depends on the store. I went from an XL to M in tops but in bottoms im a 8. Im 5'7 160lbs. In certain stores im a s and can sometimes wear an xs.

My fiber goal is 65g. I get pretty close to it by eating chia seeds and flax seeds with everything.

lol its everyone outside of mfp

Were you on a VLCD before em2wl? I remember when I first upped my calories from a VLCD to 2000 calories I immediately lost weight. Keep us udated!

Going to the doc was my next step but im trying all avenues first before I actually book an apointment.

Yes, 15lbs of water weight. I track everything and there is no way I gained 15lbs of fat. The weight gain was reletively quick, I will clairfy that it didnt take me 6 months to gain 15lbs, it actually happened quicker than that.

I stopped losing weight a year ago because i was at my goal weight. I was maintaining. Being on BC was like PMS'ing all the time. I dont think my body was sodium starved since before I started BC, i could eat foods high in sodium, gain weight and lose it in 3 days. Many women who have taken BC have the same problem.

I feel like im going to be dealing with this for the rest of my life. I have to be super strict to not gain any weight but losing it takes forever. Before I ever took BC, I could eat salty food, gain weight and lose it in 3 days. Now, after BC, i cant even eat the snack bag of doritos without gaining 3 pounds. I dont drink…

For the resistance training, i just watch youtube videos with the butterfly band.

My update. I did my best, weighed, measured and logged everything I ate. I did cardio for 30 minutes a day, and 10 minutes of resistance training. During the week of 3/9 to 3/15, I was on my monthly, when I weighed myself after that was over, I weighed 158 lbs. I continued to follow routine and as of today, I weigh 160…

will do

thanks for the link so about how many calories should i be eating around?

i am eating at a deficit though. my tdee is a little over 2300 calories. i eat 2000 calories and burn about 300 from running. my bmr is a little over 1500, so i dont see how eating less would help. i dont want to go under my BMR. like i said, im doing the tdee - 15% method.

trayvon wasnt the aggressor eff yall and your opinions

florida sucks

good job!

try eating more food find out ur BMR and take it from there. you should be netting ur BMR fyi

diet break is needed

u need to eat more than 1280. just increase ur calories for a week, im sure u will probably see up to a 4 pound loss

ur net should never be a negative number ur net should be 1200

water weight, yea fat, no

what was ur regimen?

yea, i always over eat the first 3 days or so and once its over, i usually drop a little weight from what i weighed when TOM started.

[/quote] . If running, then do HIIT. Which is like weight lifting for a sport, in this case, running. It's the same principle, you go all out anaerobic for short period, and recover. Just like proper weight lifting is, all out anaerobic, and then you rest. So running outside then? Pick 1 day a week that is proceeded and…
