Sick Leave
Hello all, I was doing really well on EM2LW, eating more, exercising harder, and avoiding the scales. Then I fell ill. With mild pneumonia. No appetite, no exercise, and still very weak. Am on the mend now, but am worried that I may have undone the good work. My jeans feel tighter, but not hugely. So, what do you suggest??

WHY???
So, here's the thing. I have been doing EM2WL since the 20th of May. At first, I couldn't believe how much I was eating, and was mighty pleased with it. Was exercising consistently too. So didn't notice too much of a weight gain.....didn't go near the scales. But then life took over and I lost track of what I was eating…

Fallen off the wagon??

Protein powders and workouts??
Never had a protein shake before?? Any recommendations? This is to cover my large protein deficit. Also, what kind of workouts are best with EM2LW? I have cut down on cardio, but am still doing JM 30DS. Also, trying to lift heavier at the gym. Any other ideas/workout plans? :ohwell:

Newbie Here!!!! Please help.....
Hi all, Hoping someone can help me?? I am a 5'3" 40 year old moderately active female. On MFP my BMR was 1500 a day. When I checked my TDEE it came to roughly 2117.

Cheating on the eating
Hi, I have been trying to eat back my exercise calories, but find that I tend not to eat clean, in an attempt to up the calories i.e. there's a fair bit of cookies/chocolate/ice cream involved. Now, that seems counter productive to me? But on the other hand, I have a severe deficit of calories if I eat just good stuff.…

30 day shred with breaks
Hi all, Wondering if anyone can help? I started the 30 day shred on the 7th of May, but because of my job will have to take a 3 day break. Does it matter if I don't complete in 30 days??
