Joint supplements
Do any of my more "seasoned" (as in had a few more bdays :wink: ) em2wl pals use any joint supplements? I have been doing more squats and lunges in my routine and my knees sound like popcorn. I want to be able to continue without damaging anything so I am looking for suggestions. TIA

OK, I admit it...I'd like some pals
I have been em2wl for 8 weeks now. Staying the course even though the weight is the same and the measurements haven't changed in a bit (actually the legs are up, but I have been lifting heavier). Anyhow, I think of random things that I'd like to post, but they don't really warrant a thread. Then, I thought, duh! That's…

Tired and hungry :/
I have been eating more for 7 weeks now. I upped to 1900 right away and for the last two weeks I have been averaging ~2100 (because of spike day for the past two Saturdays). I have been getting close to or meeting my macros for 3+ weeks. Could a couple of spike days be throwing me really off? I am tired to the point of…

Water, water, water
I see a lot of folks in various posts saying they are feeling bloated and constipated when starting the EM2WL journey. I just want to throw out there that even though you feel full, drink water. Drink a big glass before your meals. Drink a glass between meals. Drink when you get up and before you go to bed. Yes, you will…

6 week assessment - change, hold, or...
I began upping my calories six weeks ago to ~1900 (I jumped right in). As close as I can figure my tdee is 2300 (between moderate and very active) and my bmr is 1415. I had lost approx 30 lbs 3 years ago and then gain most back. In January began exercising again and just not eating as much and lost 10# and then stopped…

Goal Body weight and body fat calculators on Fat2Fit
Has anyone used the goal body weight calculator to try to figure out their goal weight? I am 5' 7" and currently ~150# and was thinking, that I'd like to be 125#-130#. I was able to get to that weight on weight watchers (I was about to turn 40 and that was a strong motivator..lol). I am now about to turn 43 and would like…

? for those taking Spring Valley Multi-Enzyme Probiotic
I've read that some of you are taking this supplement. The directions say to take 3 with every meal. Well, i am eating 6 small meals a day, so that seems excessive. :) How many are you taking and when? TIA

Whey protein and lactose intolerance?
I have been upping my calories for two weeks. I went from 1200 to 1800-1900. Haven't changed on the scale and I feel good. At first I felt "puffy", but that has subsided...phew! I will up again in two weeks after my son's wedding to find my true maintenance level. Anyway...to my question. I am trying to get in more protein…

easy to digest protein
Hi All, I have been upping my cals for 9 days now but am having trouble getting in my protein. The hubs and I tried low-carb several years ago and I realized that I have a hard time digesting tons of protein. I want to find that balance of health. I picked up Jillian Michaels protein mix today. I also got some almonds and…
