I am throwing out the scale (figuratively...my fiance would be quite upset if I tossed his uber fancy scale). Last Saturday (yes, I know, not even a week ago) I committed to EM2WL and upped my calories to 1800. As of today I am 2lbs heavier, but I realized if I freak out about this all I am going to do is slash my caloric intake again! So, no scale, no NOTHING for 4 weeks (if I can do this it will be big...I am a scale junkie). I hope my 4 week check in with you guys on June 23 shows some progress! I also just started a modified NROLFW (all I have a home is barbells) but at least I'm lifting!

That sound like a great idea especially with you weight training too. I hope you enjoy the extra calories. I'm on 1750 a day and love it!

Good for you! And if you find the temptation to step on the scale too great, get your fiance to lock the scale in the trunk of his car or something...I saw someone else did that and it seems to me like an awesome thing to do!

Wow. You guys are awesome. You have much more restraint than I ever could. I think it's great. Maybe someday - I'm not there yet!

I'm in! I started a reset last week, and got over the initial bloaty grossness, now gaining a few lbs, and just trying to figure this out, BUT, feeling good about not waking up with 1200 cal a day headaches...
See you in a month for a "check-in"?

Lol! I guess I could have my husband hide it from me. Although mid June I'm supposed to do a 30 day check to see where I'm at but if I only get on it 1x all month I think that's pretty good. |

LOL you guys are so funny. I did a 2.5 wk chalenge and thought I wouldn't make it...it was when I was struggling with EM...well it was almost a relief.
Now everyone must take measurements, if you can bf%, and pictures too!

Ok, I'll try. :)
It's hard because I've been doing this for six weeks and am up over 2# on average. However, after wearing my fitbit I can see I've been undereating for YEARS. Even eating my calculated TDEE -15% (About 2K/2100), with the fitbit I am barely netting BMR most days (some days under), so I bump it up to TDEE on weekends which makes up for it. My metabolism must be really shot. :P I only want to lose a few pounds, so I have some wiggle room. I'll stay off the scale this month - I'll take measurements and I have my 'tight jeans' I try on each weekend as well. :) |

So June is a scale free; picture free; measurement free month for me as well.....I am doing a reset and don't want to "my little voice who lives in my head" to convince me to slash my calories again :). So how about pictures and measurements at the end of July ?

OP here! I am so glad you all are joining me in the scale-free month of June! I was also thinking no measuring, no pics, no nothing other than good clean eating and exercise (but that is just me). I'd love to see what a solid month of not # obsessing does. It really helps to have all this support and people to answer to because this morning after my workout I thought "maybe I'll just jump on it for a second..." and then I remembered that this scale-free month was MY idea! I say as long as you are feeling good and eating right this is gonna be great!

I just ordered my calipers so I hope to start tracking my BF on a regular basis instead of my weight.
