Also cottage cheese....I'm sorry but it sounds gross, I don't even know how to eat it. Do you guys just eat it plain or put it on stuff. I feel ridiculous I actually I have no idea how to eat it. I'm willing to try but would love a recommendation on how to prepare it.

Hah, wow. Food for thought and thought for food! The more I learn about nutrition the more I realize I know nothing about it, lol. Ok eggies, get in my tummy!

FR sent! I'm always looking for more EM2WL pals!

I just joined and just started doing the 30 day shred this past week and I love it :)

I apparently eat way too much sugar according to MFP but I don't really understand how it is feasibly possible to eat what they recommend. It seems like there is added sugar and natural sugar in everything :(

It's basically what I did too. So far I haven't lost any weight (but I also haven't weighed myself in 3 weeks, something I'm actually proud of). I would totally recommend adding in exercise though! I just started adding in real exercise to my life 3 days ago and I think that is really what is going to change me. I wasn't…

Hey everyone! I started the 30 day shred 3 days ago :) This is my first introduction to Jillian Michaels and oh my god is it tough. I think this is my first encounter with REAL exercise. I don't have any weights so I'm starting to just do all the motions without them and my arms hurt anyway! I'm pretty heavy, so I guess my…

I am also a vegetarian and can't ever make my macros. I can however (on good days) get over 70 grams which seems like a lot to me (I swear I'll eat beans, and nuts, and eggs, and milk and yogurt and more and I still can't reach anywhere close to 30% protein. I do think I get my veggies in easier though. I'm thinking about…

Thanks everyone! Super helpful! I just bought JM30 day shred level one on amazon for like 2 bucks (although then of course I saw it was on youtube for free :P) I just tried it out. since I don't have weights yet I just did all the motions they were doing but without holding anything. OH MY GOD. my body is so sore (but in a…

I wish I could do weights but I have no access to them right now. :( I looked into the Jillian Michaels one and it looks super affordable if I download it on my computer from amazon and from what I can tell you only need two free light weights... which I think I might be able to borrow from my folks this weekend. ok. I…

everyone looks so strong and healthy! Someday I know I'll be here too... :)

I actually don't own a scale! :) But I visit folks who do maybe once every or every other week. So this will probably happen by default for me :) which is good as I just started maybe two weeks ago. I don't feel like I've gained but no loses for me just yet. For folks interested in why weight is a silly measurement I would…

Hey y'all... As someone who isn't doing intense strength training/workouts yet (I can't afford a gym just yet so I've just been doing some push ups and walking) would you still recommend adding protein? As a vegetarian I get a fair amount of protein in terms of grams but usually not more than 14-15% of my diet, so I'm…

I had one too a couple of days ago at Applebees. It was gross and high calorie...that's what I get for not planning. And I felt it in my body that day and the next, I just felt gross. Good news? The next day and today I've been eating a bit better, and going on a few short walks. Baby steps for me, but just goes to show…

Hey all, my name is Sarah. I started MFP a few months ago around christmas. I lost maybe 10 pounds, but found the general community to be disheartening. Everyone around me was eating so little! And I'm definitely an eater and just knew that wasn't going to work for me so I stopped for a while. Then last month I started up…

This is super inspiring for me I'm just staring and want to lose about the same amount :)

Cool I was just thinking about trying this:)

For what it's worth I'm a vegetarian of 3 years and I think it's all about motivation. I would second reading Eating Animals and Watching Food Inc. I'm not sure you're going to lose a bunch of weight but it can reduce your cholesterol and saturated fat like woah. I'm in it more for for environmental reasons and love it…
