Had to recheck the measuring tape! Lifting heavy works!

Yes they are bars with set weights on them. It's a 24 hour a day gym so they limit the free weights so people don't hurt themselves when no one is around. I'm thinking about hiring a PT for a few sessions to assess my technique because like you, I want to be doing the moves properly before I do them with heavier weights.

I started stage one this week! I have done work a and b each one time. I am doing about 30 minutes of cardio work 4-5 times a week. Are you following the meal plan offered in the book or just tracking calories?

I love it so far!

I'm tracking my calories but I am aiming for 30% protein like the book suggests.

I just started yesterday and after a few months of hardcore cardio it felt werird to do weights and then just leave the gym.
i did ride bike in the am (pulling my 27lb 20 month old)...but today I get to workout ...so I will spin.

Im very much looking forward to tomorrow - I love those exercises!! But I loathe pushups...ew!!!


As for the diet...I use some of the meals/snacks as suggestions when I get bored of what I cook.

Im stoked. I will be investing in some gloves. My poor hands!!

Your results are inspiring! Thanks for posting them here.

I am doing measurements and pictures tonight (YUCK).

So far I have lost 40lbs, (before NROLFW) but recently (despite going to the gym 5-6 days a week) things have slowed down. I am sure this is just what I need. I read the whole book first and I am still excited to do this. Loved how i felt after the first two workouts and I am looking forward to number three. I do get a little intimidated at the gym, around the weights, but so far I have overcome it. Plus a friend of mine (longtime lifter) is there to guide me through stuff.

So for those who asked, here are my photos from this morning in the same outfit as January.

Thanks for the compliments It's nice to hear what other people see. I still haven't reached the point where my stomach seems flat to me and I want my arms to look as good from the back as the front but I'm looking forward to the future changes!
