October 2014 BABY!
Hey ladies! I've been a part of the group for a while...not posting, but knowing that I'd be pregnant soon. Well, I got my BFP last Friday! Due date is October 6. I started a new phase of my lifting program so I'm back to 4 day splits. I plan on keeping it up as I get further along...obviously listening to my body. :)…

Thread for my progress (gonna keep it all here)
I have wanted to do this for a couple of weeks now. A good place to let it all out without creating multiple posts on the board. :) I began my EM2WL journey beginning of July when I started my reset. I ate at 2180 cals as that was what calculators told me my TDEE was. Quickly gained 10 lbs and thought I was stabilized and…

Focus on NET BMR?
I'm contemplating on changing the way I've been doing things. I've stalled quite a bit, and even gained a few pounds since a few weeks ago. I'm not focusing on that so much, but really, it's important that I start losing some body fat before I start focusing on gaining any more muscle. For my sanity and my budget...I can't…

Been maintaining, but can't change mindset!
I did a metabolism reset this summer, gaining a grand total of 15 lbs after all was said and done. Went from 135 to 150. I've been into heavy lifting regularly since August. I feel happy with how my body is changing.....I have gained quite a bit of muscle, but it seems like the fat has yet to shift. I'm eating 2200…

Would a reset help with adrenals?
I'm asking for my husband. He just got back from Afghanistan and is willing to let me help him feel better. I KNOW he must be feeling very lousy for him to agree to this. I'm also thinking that he has a gluten sensitivity at the least, if not Celiac...though I know he will never get tested. I got a bunch of supplements to…

Recomended "break" and eating at TDEE
I completed an 11 week reset a month ago. I initially started in at a 5% cut, then ramped it up to 10%. Right now I'm eating 1950, and I can't imagine cutting any more because I honestly don't want to eat below that number. The scale isn't budging, my measurements are staying the same, yet my body is definitely changing…

Can we talk carbs?
Kind of a scary subject for me. lol I have eaten Primally the past 3 years or so. I think I got chronically low carb in the past, netting well under 30 grams a day. I have recently started upping my carbs to 100 grams a day. I do NOT and will not eat refined carbs and grains. They make me sick and all the science behind…

Starting my reset
I figured I'd make this post so I can keep all my weight and measurements and such in one easy to find place. :) I started upping my calories a week ago. According to Scooby (at 31, 5' 4", 140#) my TDEE is 2189. I'm finally there. Through this process I have gained 5 lbs (though, that 5 pounds was gained over the past…

Saying hey!
I am new to MFP, but not NROLFW. I am half way through stage 1 right now. About to bust out workout A 5 on Monday. I started this program with the hopes of doing it 3 days a week at the local gym, but I started at the same time as my husband left for deployment so I have been lucky to maintain twice a week. Despite that…
