HEY GUYS!!! PROGRESS PICTURES!!!
I've been MIA from the community pages, but still EM2WL!!!! I've been working my butt off for the last 4 months, and it's paid off.

It's a NSV if you ask me!
My husband has been very supportive in my EM2WL journey and has been my biggest cheerleader. Over the weekend I had my 30th bday celebration and overheard him giving me praises to one of our mutual friends has started the Isagenixs diet. It felt good to hear him saying how I finally "get it" and how good I am doing.

Just keep swimming.....just keep swimming.....
I keep telling myself to "just keep swimming" this morning! I'm trying to stop the negative talk that is going on in my head through this journey. This is week 2 at 10% cut, and I've already lost a pound. I need to be patient. I keep thinking that everyone I know is staring at me and wondering if I'm pregnant because of…

Time to get back to normalcy!
The last few weeks have been super crazy for me! I am learning that staying on these boards and connecting with MFP people and EM2WL people is essential to me doing well with my goals. With being on vacation and out of town for training, I have not done well. I have done a full 8 week reset, instead of the initial 4 and…
-
Ahhhhh!!!!!!
I am in a slump today and just not feeling it. I did the reset for 6 weeks instead of the 4 I originally planned on doing it. I did end up going over TDEE on some days. I was going to CUT last week and just had a really hard time cutting back 10%, which I never thought would be the case. Trying again this week, and…

Help me curb the jealousy!
Remember me talking about my friend who is doing that juice diet? Well....it's working for her and it's driving me nuts that my progress is MUCH MUCH slower! Our kids go to the same daycare and while we were both there dropping off our kids, the daycare owner asked her if she'd lost weight and how? UGH!!! Why am I getting…

TMI-For women only!
Have any of you had changes in your menstral cycle since doing EM2WL? This is my first cycle since doing the reset and I started later than normal AND it's been horrible!!!!! Before I had kids I had terrible periods, with a lot of pain, and heavier. Back to that this month! My husband swears its because my body is finally…
-
Yay! Woot Woot!
So, I haven't measured myself again since starting NROLFW 3 weeks ago. But......I totally need to replace my bras! They are way too big around for my girls now! And the improper fit actually makes my bubbies sore! And....my "fat" work pants are super loose on me again! I think we are getting somewhere. It usually starts at…
-
Protein shake recipes?
I buy a No Bake Cookie protien shake from a gym that isn't my own every lift day. It's amazing! But, it's also $4.50 every time! And, I have powder at home. I tried to make it myself today after my workout and that was a huge FAIL!!!! Didn't even taste close to it. Anyone have good recipes that you make for your shakes at…
-
OMG! I see a curve!!!!
I am finally starting to see results in my arms from weight lifting! I am so pumped! My arms were a little straight and fuller before and now I actually have a curve in my upper arm on top that is defined. My husband even noticed that my arms are tighter. I can flex for him and he can feel my muscles are building. That is…
-
SUPER TIRED!
I don't know what my problem is but over the last week or two I have been super exhausted! Could it be the weight lifting? I am getting at least 7 hours of sleep every night, working out, eating my allotted calories, etc. Nothing has changed except starting NROLFW. I seriously feel like I cannot wait to get to bed and just…
-
Soreness ?
I've never done deadlifts until starting NROLFW. Is it normal for my lower back and love handles area to be sore? I am hoping this exercise is helping me to get rid of my dreaded love handles, but wanted to make sure it wasn't from improper form. I've been sore all over from starting Week 3, but in the areas that make…

NSV!!!!
I just did my 1st workout 3 b today in NROLFW! While at the gym, I grabbed dumbells for my shoulder presses that were only 5 lbs under the weights a man just put down! HA HA! AND....I was able to deadlift 95 lbs again without my husband standing there harassing me about it. I actually did them 12 in a row too and didn't…
-
Ready for my 1st Cut! Can you confirm I'm doing this right?
Ok....so I've been maintaining for at least 6 weeks now. I've been eating at TDEE for over 2 weeks that I know for sure because of tracking. Before that I am sure I was eating at or above TDEE without tracking accurately or at all on some days. My TDEE is 2377. So I did 15% of that which is 2020.45. So I would eat that…
-
Bare with me! I am giddy!
I cannot even begin to explain how much I love NROLFW! I only started last week and I already feel stronger and better. I had no idea my body was capable of lifting what I've been lifting. I've already upped in weights 3 times in each category with weights and have finally began challenging myself physically and mentally.…
-
Why did I even bother?
One of my best friends is currently doing a juice diet. The only thing she consumes is juice from her machine, water, coffee, and maybe a piece of fruit. I tried to explain the EM2WL concept and she just refused to hear it or listen. Even when I brought up the research, pulled her numbers, and put her juice in the recipe…

Stumped on cardio days w/ NROLFW!
I'm used to doing my cardio classes twice a week, but they incorporate a lot of what I do with NROLFW and I don't want to do extra strength in addition to the program, as directed by Lou Schuler. I hate doing monotonous cardio, like the elliptical, treadmill, etc. Maybe I could start doing my Turbo Jam again? Or maybe some…

Workout gloves!
Does anyone have any recommendations for good weight lifting gloves? My hands are getting tore up at the gym.

My mood has shifted to be deing DOWN!
I took my before pictures for NROLFW and it instantly changed my perky and happy mood yesterday to being upset. Now I am in a ****ty mood about everything and feeling like this journey is going to take forever. All I can do is continue on and hope that results start to show eventually.

Self conscious in the gym doing NROLFW!
I've never been the shy type at the gym, but for some reason since starting NROL I am! When I used to use all the strength machines, I was fine, but adding in step up's, push ups, dead lifts, etc. in front of everyone else using machines, makes me nervous. I know I am doing the right thing, but for some reason I feel like…
-
I'm so excited!
I know some of this may seem trivial, but it's huge to me! Before having kids I had a pretty high metabolism. I would have a BM after every time I ate, stayed fit, etc. Since doing this EMWL business, and weight lifting, I am finally starting to think that my metabolism has started to speed up. I am back to regular…

Question about the workout plans!
I'm getting myself confused on the workout plans! I am starting Stage 1 tomorrow and reading the charts to figure out what I'll be doing. Where it says: Workout A Squats Workout 1,2 Workout 3,4 Workout 5,6 Workout 7,8 Do you do each one? So like one is with X reps and the other is a different # reps, and the next with…

On the verge of tears! I'm so dang frustrated and confused!
I've been eating at just below my cut for the last few weeks, and sometimes going over and hitting at my TDEE. I originally gained 3 lbs, which I was aware would happen, but since then I've only maintained for the last month or so. I am working out at least 3 times per week, sometimes up to 6. Mainly weight training and 2…
