Mental NSV!
I had an incident today. I was riding my bike to the grocery store, and on my ride back, I rode past a 11-13 year old girl, who, as I was riding by, yelled "JIGGLY!" I almost posted this on the motivation and support thread, but then I thought about it a different way. I didn't stop pedaling. I want to turn around and…

Heavy weight lifting heavy weights? Yes or no?
I've been reading NROLFW and other fitness guides (not to mention various success stories on MFP) and I have heard so much about how good lifting weights is for you. However it seems that most of the other women who have had a lot of success with weight lifting have already lost a lot of weight and are now just getting…

Student Life
This was so much more manageable during the summer when I could dedicate most of my time to my workout goals, prepare my own food, and schedule my life around the changes I was making. Being back at college has made reaching my goals so much more difficult, timewise, stresswise, and motivationwise. I'm extremely depressed…

On the right track?
Hey all! I've been on this journey for exactly 46 days now, and I just want to check in and see if I'm looking good. If you're doing EM2LW and heavy lifting, is it normal for the scale to stay at the same place? I think I remember reading that somewhere. I'm having decent changes in terms of my measurements, but I really…

Macros by body type?
I saw a post about hitting your macros and someone mentioned adjusting one's macros to one's body type. I've seen a basic 40p/30f/30c all over the place and was wondering what other people are using and how they determined their ideal macros. How do you determine based on body type? I didn't even think about matching…

Keto diet--has anyone tried this? (endomorphs?)
I came across an article about ketogenic diets today and was wondering if anyone has had experience with this kind of thing? It doesn't seem that different from eating clean, but I'm not sure. Any thoughts?

What is the connection with heavy weight lifting?
Does heavy lifting go hand in hand with EMtWL? Is it possible to lose weight when eating at cut if you aren't currently doing rigorous strength training? I'm trying to add more weight training to my cardio routines (and I know cardio isn't the optimal exercise for this program). Theoretically, if I were sedentary and…

Where did your journey begin?
I've been reading post after post today and have learned so much, not only about this program, but about how so many are responding to it. I love looking at the tickers and seeing how far on the road to weight loss you are. I would love to know when the bulk of your weight came off (especially from those who have lost 50+…

Should I do a reset?
Hi everyone! I'm looking to start losing weight after several years of consciously not dieting (because of eating disorder recovery) and am trying to find a healthy way to lose weight without starving myself on 1000 calories a day. However, I'm still a little fuzzy on the details. I've calculated that I should be eating…
