Should I push my calories higher?
I have been resetting for about a year, slowly pushing my calories higher and have been lifting heavy consistently since May 2016. I have reached a point where I am toying with the idea of a cut, but I'm not 100% sure I've reached my TDEE yet. Stats: CW: 109.6kg (241 lbs) Height: 174cm Lifting heavy 3 times per week,…

Am I on the right track? Advice please
I am 1 week in to a full reset and just looking for some advice on how to continue as I search for my true TDEE. I am loving the freedom this reset has bought me already, in the weeks/months of reading and playing with the idea of eating more, and in this last week alone. I couldn't care less if I gain 100kg on this reset…

Conflicting messages with EM2WL
My lovely brother and sis in law gave me a book written by a PT for Christmas. They highly recommend it as they have both been roughly following the program and have had success with weight loss by following it. I have had a few good chats with my bro over the last few months, he is somewhat of a weight loss inspiration…

Self sabotage round about
Using MFP is about my zillionth attempt to lose weight. Every time I start well, lose about 5-7kgs, then for some stupid reason I just stop. So I feel like I am at the point in this zillion-and-first attempt where I give myself a round of applause for a job well done, stop logging calories, have a day off exercising, which…
