I think I may have messed up.....
I posted this in the new forum on the EM2WL.com site as well....sorry if you read it twice. :) Okay, I first discovered EM2WL back in April. At that time, I decided to go for the TDEE - 250. I have a BodyMediaFit so for me it was easiest to go for a flat 250 off to equal a 1/2 pound a week. I made this change on April 11,…

Went off the deep end and all I got is a few NSV's....
I've been doing EMTWL for a while now, I believe I started tail end of April. (I'd have to double check that as my memory is terrible!) I lost the weight I gained when I first started but not much more. I went through all kinds of weird stages where I got ravenous then exhausted and bloated and generally never knew what…

New Expectations
So, I had an aha moment about this EMTWL way. I have a bodymedia, but it still had my old goals (2 lbs a week) set up on it. I decided to change it to my current goal of 1/2 pound a week. Now I've had this sucker a good, long time and it "knows" my average TDEE for any given 28 days that I care to run a report for. So I…

Something is changing!
Well since I started eating my BMR plus all exercise calories (yes I had to do the baby steps method because I am a chicken bwok bwoook!) I went up roughly 4 pounds. I then went even higher with time of the month and had a few days of sheer panic and freaking out. I got to the other side only because I long ago figured out…

Looking for Active Friends for the Last Stubborn 20!
I'm looking to add some new, active MFPers that can relate to the sheer torture of being so close ... yet so far! I'm in that last 20 lbs, trying to figure out the best way to eat and how many calories will work to ease me into maintenance without plateauing. (hopefully before I go crazy crunching the numbers!) I've…

Jumping In
Well, I'm getting on the Eat More bandwagon. After trying and failing to budge the scale for ... gosh....I think six months while "doing everything right" it's time to accept that conventional wisdom isn't right. For me. I've come to this conclusion slowly, and with the help of my Bodymedia Fit and reading the threads…

Anybody in? TurboFire/Chalean Extreme Hybrid
I start the 20 week program today!! I'm stoked!! I completed a round of TurboFire last year and have been picking and choosing workouts here and there ever since, without a lot of consistency. My life got topsy-turvy and lo and behold! I slacked and lost my motivation. Well, now I have decided to get my mojo back. I've…

Good Stretching Routines
Does anyone know of some Yoga type dvd's that REALLY get the IT band/hip/butt area? I am always having to stretch it out on the right side, along with my lower back. Seems I can never quite get in there deep enough to relieve it. (I suspect I might have a bit of sciatica (sp) going on) I have the Stretch 40 that came with…

Heartburn
This might just be me, but it seems when I stick to the low calorie range I always get minor heartburn/acidic stomach. The foods themselves don't seem to matter, just my proximity to 1200. Ugh, maybe it's my mind rebelling and causing random discomfort in an effort to drive me to cookies..

I think I'll hang out here a while. :)
Hi there MFP guys and gals! I'm pretty new to the site. Less than a week so far and I'm starting to get a good feel for it. I'm no stranger to tracking. I've done WW and I was on spark for a while. But this past year I did not meet any of my self-set goals (such as getting to my goal weight by my 40th birthday, which came…
