Need ideas on how to log this!
Hi lifters! So I am trying to stay very committed to logging EVERYTHING. However, lunch is often a problem because the attorneys in my firm go out to eat - and not to chains that have nutritional information online. Today, we went to an Italian place. I got the "breadless boat" which is basically breadless meatballs,…

Do you hit your macros? Can I see your diary?
Hi EM2WLers! After a few days spread over a few weeks of really awful eating (high cal not good for you stuff) I've started to pay closer attention to my macros. I have them set at 40/30/30 but it seems no matter what I do I go over on carbs!!! I do not eat: bread, pasta, white flour (mainly because my fiance is a "slow…

I will not weigh myself for 4 weeks...
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…

My first NSV!
So a few weeks ago I decided to ignore my scale for a month and several people jumped on board with me! But, I was positive I wouldn't notice anything positive until I could jump back on that scale on June 30. Well...yesterday I ran a 10k race that I had run for the first time two years ago. The first time I ran it I.…

Body Media Fit - first 3 days!

I am SHOCKED at how much it says I am burning...I actually am having a hard time believing it. The first day, when I walked a lot (I live in a city) and worked out it said I burned 2900 calories!…

BMF Link Quick Question
Hi All! So I got my BMF Link yesterday and set it up immediately. This am before my workout I paired it with my iphone. As soon as the data "synced" (I had JUST put it on my arm) the tracker said I ALREADY had a 300 calorie deficit...this was before I did anything other than stand in front of the mirror. Is this common? a…

Protein Poweder Recommendations
Hi Everyone! I recently started focusing on upping my protein intake to hit at least 95g a day (my calculated lean muscle mass). I was a little wary of the whole protein shake thing at first so I started off nice and easy with the Myoplex Lite shakes (all ready to drink from the fridge!), but they are only 20g of protein…

Netting BMR
So I have been playing around with upping my calories, but want to make sure I am doing this 100% right. My BMR is 1400, my TDEE - 20% for cut is 1700 (not such a big difference there) - I got these off the scoobyworkshop website. The 1700 already takes my activity level into account, right? But I never want to "net" below…
