Protein macro as a vegetarian
Hey everyone! I'm a vegetarian...but it seems that everyday on my food diary, I'm WAY over on carbs, and nowhere near protein. Even when I don't even eat bread or any other "carby" things that day. I'm eating all the things that vegetarians should eat for protein...nuts, legumes, food combining, etc...I know how to be one…

Can you really burn fat at a deficit?
Just a quick question for my knowledgable friends at EM2WL... ;) We talk a lot about building muscle in order to maximize our fat-burning potential. However, if I'm trying to lose weight and I'm eating my cut (aka...eating at a deficit), can I really build muscle? Does fat actually burn off at a deficit? I guess I'm…

Need some friends that eat!!!
Hey everyone!! I've been doing EM2WL for a little while now...about 2 months, I think. Best thing that ever happened to my weight loss journey. I'd love to have some more friends that eat, though! It seems like a lot of my friends on here starve themselves, and no one ever helps me or comments on my food diary. Perhaps…

My macros suck.
Hey everyone!! I'm having a hard time hitting my protein goal for each day, and find myself going over on my carbs. I'm not really eating any bread or any stereotypically "carby" foods. I think that if I hit my protein goal each day, maybe I wouldn't crave the things that do have the carbs that I tend to eat, like soy…

I go to a weekly Les Mills class entitled Body Combat as a part of my fitness routine. It is INTENSE cardio...in fact, the first time I did it, I only lasted for…

My face looks ridiculous!
Hey all... This isn't necessarily weight-loss related, but I need help! My face has been red, itchy, blotchy, and swollen for about a week. It wasn't too bad when it started, but today it got pretty ridiculous. I've never had allergies in my life. I took Benadryl, but it just knocked me out and didn't really help. Any…

The numbers haven't changed for 4 weeks!
Hey everyone... I am so frustrated right now...for about 4 weeks now, my weight and my measurements have not changed ONE bit. I eat all whole foods and do cardio 3-4x a week, and lift 2x a week. I eat around 1600 calories a day, which is my BMR, and then I eat my exercise calories as well...which usually puts me around the…

No more excuses!
Hey everyone! I'm Hailey. I've always enjoyed working out and eating well, but I've also always been carrying around 20-30 extra pounds. I decided that this would be the year that I would finally get into that never-before-worn bikini! I'm tired of feeling self conscious in the summertime....and I'm done with fearing the…
