My One Year Results
I started on Jan 2, 2012. I lift heavy weights 3 times per week and I never eat below my BMR, generally eat between 1750-2000 calories per day. I have lost 40 lbs so far since joining MFP. And the Eat More to Weigh Less group has helped me a lot! And I don't really know how to post pics so not sure if this will work. Here…

ughhh
So I'm averaging a 2 lb per month loss which is great. EXCEPT I am 186 lbs. That means by next summer I will still be 170 lbs. It means it will take 18 months to reach 150 lbs (a 36 lb loss). I am just struggling with this. I know it is worth it. I know I won't give up because the changes to my body and my mental health…

Another BMR test results thread....
SIGH (BIG sigh) So I had my BMR tested with a naturopath. The results were great for that, BMR is 1607 which is almost exactly what the online calculators said. BUT my metabolism is apparently very slow...she said the levels are consistent with hypothyroidism, and my thyroid glands have excess tissue on them. She said that…

So many stickies!
Can those stickies be condensed again? Like all the metabolism reset ones, you really only need the latest one since in each thread the first post has a link the the previous one.

Fitbit users
So mine just came this morning!! (That was super fast) When you did the set up did you change the goal for calorie burned? It said my goal should be 2184 but my TDEE is 2450 or so. Also did you sync with Myfitnesspal? Do you find that works well?

No wonder!!
So my day is not even over yet and the fitbit says I have burned almost 2700 calories, I know it will be over 2800 by midnight which means when I was eating 1200 calories I had like a 1600 calorie deficit! No wonder I was not losing weight and having all kinds of digestive issues. The fitbit has really made me confident in…

Frustrated
I'm starting to get frustrated. I'm still hovering at the same weight...I know my body is changing and I should forget what the scale says but dammit I'm only 5'2 and being in the 190's is hard. I was up to 194.8 the other day but today I am back down to 192.9. I'm not going over my calories or anything, my weight is just…

photo collage?
I have seen some people create side by side collages of their weight loss, I was wondering how you do this? I've tried just using "paint" and putting the photos side by side but the images never line up properly and I always have to adjust them so much that it makes me look a lot thinner than I am. Just wondering if there…

So far so good!
So a few days ago I asked opinions on whether I should up my activity level to moderate and of course everyone said I should, so I upped my calories and now today my weight is back down the 2 lbs I was up just a few days ago. I am still up a half pound overall but at least it doesn't look like I am still trending upwards…

Gahhh what to do? Exercise level...
So when I first started this journey at the end of April I was scared out of my mind like most of us. I was too afraid to go to my cut right away so I used the sedentary level on scooby and have been eating back exercise calories, making sure to never net below BMR. I lost 6 lbs right away and have not lost anything in the…

Stage 2 NROLW
Holy Cow! Is it just me or is workout B a killer?? I just got home from the gym and I am already sore! My legs are jello. Usually I don't feel this way until the next day.

My Stage 1 NROLW results
I just finished stage one too and dropped a pant size. Here are my weights results (they could have been better but I dislocated 2 ribs a couple weeks ago so I wasn't able to increase weight these last 2 weeks. Squats-Smith Machine- 90 lbs to a120 lbs (plus the 15 lbs for the bar) Lunges-15 lbs dumbbells to 20 lb Step…

Suggestions Please
Okay so things have been going AMAZING with EM2WL! BUT I have hit a sort of road block this week and not sure what I should do. I dislocated 2 of my ribs so I have not been able to exercise this week. So I have just been eating at my cut for sedentary which is 1650. Today my DH is taking me out for dinner and tomorrow we…

weight trend site?
I have seen a link posted before for a site that you can track your weigh ins and it shows if you are trending up or down. Does anyone have the link? I couldn't remember where I saw it.

MFP VS. EMTWL
When I plug in the calculation from scooby's workshop MFP says I will gain .2 lbs per week eating that much. Any thoughts on that? Also, right now I am set to net my BMR and I eat back my exercise calories because I really am not sure what activity level to select. I do NROLW 3 times per week, walk the dog for about 30…

18.5 lbs down, 50 to go PICS
I'm 5'2 and my starting weight was 235 (the day I gave birth to DS) but my before pic I think I was about 217. I was 197.6 in the after pic taken yesterday. I still have a long way to go but thought I would share my pic (as embarrassing as they are). My before pic disgusts me, I used to be so fit. I can't believe I let…

Too soon??
I was on a 3 week plateau eating 1600-1700 calories, yesterday I upped them by 250 and I am down 1 lb this morning. Broke into a new number that I haven't seen yet. I was so freaking excited! But I'm wondering, do you think it is too soon for the effects of upping my calories or do you think that's what did the trick!

Breastfeeding
Okay I am really trying to figure out what my magic number is and I think I have it down but I am also breastfeeding almost exclusively (he gets one bottle of formula a day). So I'm not sure what to add for that if anything. I was eating 1700 calories a day (1200 plus 500 for breastfeeding). I haven't lost in the last…

Am I the only one...
I keep reading posts from people saying they have a hard time eating all of their calories. Am I the only one who has no trouble with this??? With 3 healthy meals and a couple snacks I get right up there.

Diet plan?
I got my book yesterday and was wondering how many of you are following the diet plan? Are you following it strictly or just using parts? I changed my macros to 40/30/30 and I feel the is a big change for me so I can't jump to adding even more protein than that right now. Also, are you all drinking the after workout shake?…
