Making running work with SL
Who does it? How do you do it? I've never been fast although at one point in time I could run a 5K in 30 minutes. We had a very long, cold, hard winter, so I didn't run much and really focused on lifting. I still did cardio and ran on the treadmill about once a week. I've tried to get back to running in addition to SL, and…

What happens eating at maintenance - lifting heavy?
If you are a woman with a relatively small amount of weight to lose (15 pounds) and you're eating close to maintenance (slight deficit - utilizing Fitbit and a food scale) and lifting heavy (Stronglift 5x5s), what kind of changes could you expect to see, if any? I love working out. I hate eating at a deficit.

Bod Pod - can this be right? :(
So back at the end of October, I went and had my body fat percentage assessed at a Bod Pod. I had been doing EM2WL for several months. I weighed 143 with 28% body fat. Today I went back. I knew I'd gained a couple pounds since then, so that part wasn't a surprise. Ever since I upped my calories with EM2WL and have been…

5x5 + Running
Hi Ladies! I'm new to this group. I am in my third week of Stronglifts. I have a question about incorporating running into the mix. I've been doing free weights for 2-3 months, although not on any sort of strict schedule until 3 weeks ago. I've also been eating at TDEE for 3 months and I'm trying to make a very small cut…

Reset complete! Random + Sweat ? at end...
So I've been eating at or above TDEE since July 3rd. I'm trying to go to cut but I might eat at cut one day, feel starving the next so I eat TDEE (or even a little over), wash, rince, repeat. So, basically, I'm still at TDEE. I just added cardio back in as I had been running very regularly prior to the reset. I've been…

Prednisone - I want to cry. :(
So I got a pretty bad case of poison ivy or poison oak or something last weekend. It's not going away and it's on my face... while some parts aren't getting worse, they aren't getting better, and I'm still having new spots popping up each day. My doctor just prescribed prednisone. I know it is likely to cause weight gain,…

Heybales - Resting HR?
Heybales, I've noticed you asking people about their HR a lot. I just saw in one thread that you asked someone what their resting HR is. Do you mean a "just out of bed" resting heart rate? I've been sitting at my desk at work and just took mine with a phone app, and it was 65 bpm. Should this tell me valuable information?…

Fitbit & weight stablization question from a newbie
Hello again! Newbie Melanie here (warning, I'm long winded!). I'm almost 3 weeks into a reset, although the first 3 or 4 days were before I discovered IPOARM and EM2WL and I had just had enough of netting 800-1300 most days and not losing an ounce in two years. I filled out the spreadsheet to find where my numbers should…

New - Reset - Overate on weekend!
Hi everyone! It's my first post here, but I'm a couple weeks into a reset, and over the weekend I was out of town and over-indulged on Saturday and Sunday. I tracked pretty well on Saturday and was actually 650 over... eek. A couple drinks adds up fast. I didn't track as well on Sunday as I was at an amusement park, so my…
