I'm 5'8" and I started at 240 in May 2012, was doing cardio and low cal (1400 net/day) and hit a major plateau around 215 in August. Until about January when I reduced even more (most days between 900 and 1200), but it wasn't sustainable. I was around 208 when I started NROL4W at the end of March. I'm still in stage 1 (just finished my first 10 rep workout), but I've already noticed a huge difference.

Here are my New Rules stats and photo results.

    Those are awesome results!!! Everything looks tighter. Nice work!

    I love your hips/fatblob term -- I have the same thing and it really does need its own description. I also measure my waist and belly button separately, because my waist is shrinking at a faster rate than my belly button area.

    I'm also hoping for huge results in October, right around my anniversary. It's a beautiful month for a wedding!

    Of course! I try to net 1800ish. I aim for 35% protein, but its difficult because i'm a vegetarian.

    Keep up the great work! I was pumped up with early Stage 1 results too. It totally got me hooked on lifting.

    Ok, good! I saw that you had bumped it down to 1200 earlier this year so I was hoping you bumped it back up:)
