Low protein macros
Hey everyone, Since turning veggie back in March, I've been finding it hard to get a good level of protein in without using a load of protein powder. Today I changed my macros to 45c/25p/30f from 40c/30p/30f. Hoping this won't affect any weight loss. I was then wondering if macros play a huge role or whether I should…

How important are macros?
I'm curious whether people stay religiously within macros? What do you have them set at? Mine were at 35/35/30 (1300 calories) but I struggle to hit that much protein and could always do with more carbs. Does it make a difference to your weight if you stay within calories but go over on macros? Just wondering. Thanks!…

Struggling
Hey everyone, hope your all well. As the post is titled really, I'm struggling. Mentally more than anything. I want to lose weight, like another 9lb, but I've been there before and I wasn't any happier then, so why do I think losing 9lb to get to bang on 140lb is going to make me happy this time? It's not is it, and I know…

I give up giving up!

Lost my mojo
Lost my mojo, simple as that. I've spent the last week eating what ever I wanted and not going to the gym. Last night I decided enough was enough and got back on the bandwagon this morning. So I hit the gym and logged all my food. But I still am not excited or happy to be back in the game. I'm by no means fat but I've…
