Doctor's Carb Rite bars
Hey guys! So I just bought a couple flavors of these just to test and they are amazing. The smores and cookie dough are off the CHAIN....which leads me to believe they can't be as good as I think and will stall me. LOL. Anyone tried these and still had success? They are so yummy...but I know some stuff with sugar alcohols…

Bouncing around
I'm officially a little frustrated. After really cleaning up my diet in September, I was able to break through a plateau that had stalled me for YEARS. I lowered my carbs (nothing crazy low, just keep MOST from veggies) and started paying attention to sugar. Got down into the 140's and was super happy. Still have a meal or…

Is NET screwing me up?
Just curious. I've noticed a stall/gain now that I've added foods that are low NET carb. Should this make a difference? I've been having some sugar free chocolates here and there, and Joseph's pita bread. I log the net carbs not the carbs in general. Can this make a difference? Thanks!
-
I'm a moron...net carbs
I always got annoyed that the carbs of my food would show up in its entirety whenever I'd log it...even if it said "net carbs" next to it. Do I (in my head) subtract dietary fiber from my carbs on my food profile and THAT is my carb intake for the day?

Joseph's Pitas
JUST found these at our store. They are new to "us". They are amazing. They seem too good to be true. Are they? Will they mess me up or have you found these to be a great addition to your lifestyle?

Is there anywhere I can see my weekly calorie deficit?
I know we can see day to day...and my workout part will show my weekly goals etc...but can you see how you're doing food wise? Where is it? Thanks!

Anyone else closer to 100g a day?
Hi guys! I see a bunch of people doing induction and folks who are doing 50g or less. I was wondering if I'm all alone here in 100-150g land. LOL! I'm a group fitness instructor so I definitely need some carbs to help support teaching 9+ hours of kickboxing/strength training/dancing classes. Most if not all come from…

After a carb bomb day...
Hi there! I'm new here. I have finally busted through a 2 1/2 year plateau by watching starchy carbs/sugars and I'm thrilled. My question is. On Sunday it was Oktoberfest here in GERMANTOWN, Md. LOL. Had a big day at the fair with my family and had a bratwurst, pretzel, strudel....and then had thai food for dinner with…

Extra hungry day after "cheat/splurge"?
So yesterday was sort of a free day for me. I have eliminated a lot of extra dairy/starches. Cleaned up the eating. Carbs mostly from veggies etc. This keeps my days pretty low cal since it's the sugars/starches that really add extra cals to your diet! One day a week is sort of a free day for me where I loosen up the…

How quickly are you losing your holiday weight?
I gained a whopping 7 pounds while in Alabama and New Orleans. My inlaws house is set up for disaster. They have cookies, cakes, and pies at every turn. I don't have them at my house for a REASON. I can't resist them. They can't either...and are very sick from obesity. I wish I could say I was stronger...but I failed for…

Joe's Crab Shack. Holy MOLY!
We would never choose to go here, but our 6 year old was pleading with us (on a seafood kick), so we went last night. We live in Maryland and in our county it is law that you provide nutritional info if you are a chain. HOLY CRAP!! Pretty much all the meals were 1400, 1700, 1800 calories!!!!!!!!!!!! It was UNREAL. I don't…

Afraid I really screwed up.
I was hoping I would be one of the people eating more would work for...it wasn't. I know I've seen many success stories, so I know it can work, but now I'm afraid I'm stuck with 10lbs that won't budge. I have a Bodymedia FIT. I did an average for my month and my TDEE is 2900.(For those that think that is high, I'm a…

What do you use for your step?
I did my first workout today and couldn't find a "box" or anything like the picture to use as a step up. I ended up using a bench which didn't feel quite right since it's slightly padded. Any other alternative? Thanks!
-
Started today! Questions!
I decided to just DO IT! And I started today. Quick question. Do you do the first two workouts of Stage 1 back and forth for 8 weeks before you move onto another workout? That just seems like I long time for 2 sets of moves. Also, I'm a Bodypump instructor, so using weights is something I'm used to (just not HEAVY…
-
Which TDEE would I use on vacation?
Quick question! When I go to Ohio next week, my exercise routine will probably just be walking the dog. :-) So if I want to eat at TDEE, which one would I do from Scooby? My normal or my TDEE for lightly active?

First meeting with trainer
Phew! Did my first workout with trainer. 3x13 dumbbell rows with 40lbs. Wowzers! Then alternated 400 meters of rowing with 55 lb snatch squats. 3x12 of those. I'm gonna die tomorrow! I get a full report from him this weekend. I'm excited! I lifted!! I lifted!! Haha!
-
I'm OFF next week. What should I do?
So I leave this Saturday to see my family in Ohio for a week. I have no idea what I should do. Should I use it as a week of total rest? I just started New Rules yesterday, and have met twice with a trainer who is going to be giving me a plan this week. Should I just walk for cardio and find a gym to keep New Rules of…

I went for it! First NROLFW workout!
So I had to do it AFTER I taught Pump, but I just wanted to give it a go! I had my book in hand like a big dork, but I didn't care. Haha! I had 45lbs on each side, plus bar on squats. Is that good? Used 25lb dumbbells of rows and step ups. Are you supposed to do 2 sets on each leg?? The jackknife confused me a bit...but I…

I don't know where I belong anymore
After spending over two years here at MFP and staying at an endless plateau, I got a Bodymedia, figured out my TDEE and started eating at a 15% cut. I realized that my deficits were massive before, and so that would make sense to the plateau. I joined Eat More To Weigh Less as I believe and still do believe that you don't…
-
Is anyone's cut above 2500?
Other than going into a full reset, the only adjustment I can do right now (except for going down) is to eat at about 2700 calories a day. OMG! My TDEE average is a little under 3100. This would give me a smaller deficit. Workout 7 times in 5 days. Two days off. Am I a freak, or is ANYONE ELSE eating that high, seeing a…
-
Would going over my TDEE some days be ok?
Hello AGAIN! You guys sick to death of me yet? LOL! I was thinking about lowering my percentage to 10% cut...which is scary since I've gained almost 10 pounds...but if I did that I'd be eating 2700. Now some days my TDEE is over 3000...sometimes 3400. Other days it's 2600-2800. So on my rest days I could be eating OVER my…

How long do you go with no results? When to change?
Hey guys. I'm seeing a LOT of posts lately of people's drawers falling off of them, and inches going down etc. LOL! That's so amazing. So happy for the EM2WL family! I was hoping I would be a success story, but so far, like everything else I've tried...I'm not seeing any results. Weight gain, inches up, body looking worse…
-
Brand new. Where can I fit SL into my schedule?
Hi there! I have a unique situation, and I was wondering if I could get some advice. I have been doing EM2WL for 6 weeks with no positive changes, so I'm hoping that adding in some heavy lifting will give me some results! I am a group fitness instructor. So I have a set schedule of classes I teach every week. I was…

Finally hopped on the scale
I hadn't weighed myself in over 6 weeks but felt that I needed to today. 160. Up 7lbs. Gained all the weight I lost after Christmas plus a couple. Inches are up...still haven't tried on my jeans. I don't need to. They won't fit. It feels like a big relief actually. I finally know the "damage". LOL. I talked with a trainer…
-
Anyone see progress after 6+ weeks?
Hey guys! 6 weeks with no progress yet, so I was wondering if I could hear some awesome stories! Did it take some of you 7-8 weeks to start to see inches go down etc? Thanks!!
-
BMF a lot lower than HRM?
I JUST figured out how to check a certain time period for calories on my BMF (I'm technically slow. LOL!) The calorie count is WAAAAYYYY off from my HRM. I have had Polar HRMs and a Suunto HRM and they both gave me about the same. There is also a computer on my spin bike that reads Polars and it's pretty close too.…

Having a bad day. :'-(
I'm sorry that I'm such a Debbie Downer on this group. I feel all I do is whine and I apologize. Sometimes it just feels good to write it out, even if just for yourself. I'm feeling like I'm at a crossroads, and I'm struggling. I'm tired of looking like I'm wearing a fat suit, and looking into a closet full of my favorite…
-
Are my numbers right? Still no progress?
Hey guys! I did a summary report from my BMF and after 5 weeks I've seen NO change so I was wondering if these sounded ok? My average TDEE of the past month is 3050 My average consumption is 2550 My average deficit is 500 on the nose Should I be seeing some movement by now??:ohwell:

Starting week FIVE!
I can't believe I'm going into week five of this already. Thanks to the mods for all their support. I honestly think what has kept me sane has been trying to ignore the gain. LOL. I haven't stepped on a scale, or worn anything but workout clothes and summer dresses. It has helped me not freak out. TOM is here right now,…
