Anyone Have A Blog?
I started an MFP blog when I joined MFP and decided to update it with a weekly post on my journey with EM2WL. If anyone would like to look at it, it's here. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/cinblog1965/view/meal-planning-938758

Protein Tips
I've changed my exercise level to moderate now that I'm exercising more and trying to increase my strength. With a 15% cut I am at 1794 calories now. I'm having a hard time hitting my protein goal. I don't want to increase the chemicals (protein powder and bars) any more than I already have (a Zone Perfect bar for a snack…

Looking For Reviews of Beginners Guide To Strength Training
I'm looking for guidance with strength training. I've read NROLFL and it basically said if you don't have access to ALL the equipment specified, you can't build more muscle using this book. I'm definitely paraphrasing here but that was my take on it. I don't have access to squat racks and I have no room for a home gym. My…

Epiphany
What Kiki stresses finally sunk in last night when I had an epiphany after considering the bootcamp discussion yesterday. Even though when I was in my teens, 20s and 30s I was just slightly overweight, I never had issues dropping weight unless I was working out at the same time. In fact, I always said I couldn't do both at…

Fitbit Calories
If I sync my fitbit to MPG and get added calories, should I eat those or just stick with my calculated amount of calories from EM2WL?

Update
I have done 2 weeks of EM2WL now and my energy level is so much better than when I tried to do Weight Watchers or diets. Never having restricted my calories for any length of time, at least not the last few years, I started with a 15% cut. I calculated my average calories in this week and it averaged 2041 and my average…

Menopause And Weight Gain
So I'm one of those annoying women that always thought she was fat, but damn it now I all of a sudden am. 30 pounds up from where I was 15 years ago. My energy level slowed down when I started menopause and even though bio-identical hormones, that miracle cure, has me feeling better and more energetic, the weight is just…

Day 2
Today's my second day trying this I'm dreading the weekend because I always have been an overindulger on the weekends, eating and drinking what I want. You know, I've earned it for working hard all week . . . haha. My stats: I'm 52 (ugh my matabolism crashed and burned in my late 40s), 5'3" and 150-ish pounds. I love to…

Sinus Infection
I started following EM2WL plan a few days ago after being on the PiYo eating plan for 2 weeks, my stats for both plans are very similar. I've been suffering with a terrible sinus infection the whole time and have not worked out in over a week. UGHHH. I don't think I've gained any weight but I worry the strides I've made…

New To EM2WL, Sort Of
I was in this group a few years ago but didn't really need to lose weight, just agreed with the concept and was curious. Back then I was very seriously into Tae Kwon Do and got my exercise through training. Long story short, menopause and some home stress came and stole my energy and apparently my good matabolism. I have…

Breakfast
What do you eat for breakfast that gives you enough protein? I'm so tired of eggs and I do not want protein shakes/bars. I need help finding real breakfast food.

Bulk and Cut
Can someone explain bulk and cut to me? I mean I get that bulk would be putting on muscle and cut would be cutting back on calories (I think), but exactly what is the procedure? Is that the same as reset and TDEE cut? Thanks in advance!

2 General Questions, Not Really Regarding EMT2WL
Anyone try NROL4 Life yet? I'm starting it tomorrow and hope to see some results. Well doing anything as opposed to nothing should garner results . . . lol. I like that I could choose the exercises for the different categories and I like that it focuses a lot on core and stability, areas I definitely need to work on with…

Question About Working Out
Does everyone that follows EM2WL also follow the guidelines of NROL4W? I have problems with some of the exercises in that book (deadlifts and squats) because of bulging disc issues. I can however use the machines at the gym because they help support my back and I can do plank work. It's the bending and straightening that…

Logging In Turbo Fire As Exercise
How do you count it? Arobics, circuit, etc?
