    Hey I'm not doing Jamie's program, but I did consider it! I also looked at Starting Strength & Strong Lifts 5x5. I went with NROL4W instead, but I would be happy to be pals with you and encourage you! :D

    I'm on W1D3. Woo Leg Day!!! So excited to have an established plan of lifting to follow instead of coming up with my own routines. I love that I was able to sync her plan to my calendar. Very handy.

    I just finished day 3 of week 1 and loving this so far!!!!! I have never ever weight trained, only done cardio so this is all very foreign to me. I could use mega encouragement and motivation if anyone wants to add me!:smile:

    I don't have all the proper equipment for it and don't have access to a gym but I was looking at it too...

    Hey how are y'all doing since starting Jamie Eason's LiveFit. I have to admit, I just finished week 2 and I'm a bit discouraged that my scale has actually gone up. I'm figuring that its because I'm putting on some muscle and retaining more fluids to repair my muscles...but I'm also measuring and haven't seen any real changes. What about you guys?

    Two weeks is not long enough to see results. Your muscles are retaining water for repair and your body needs time to adjust. I did not see a loss on the scale until 6 weeks into my lifting program (NROL4W). I also gained prior to that. I have yet to remeasure myself, but I plan to do that Sunday (however, my clothes were fitting tighter for awhile there). You need to be patient and give it time. :) 6 - 8 weeks is the usual range, but it can take longer.

    In addition, assure that your nutrition is where it needs to be. Your calories need to be high enought to support the activity and your macros are important. :)

    Wasn't really looking for an answer or advice as much as I just wanted to tell everyone where I was at and see where they were.

    Keep doing it! I don't look at the scale! If I did, I would drive myself nuts! I did the LFT twice, and I loved the results! I went from about 135/133 to 128/130, but my body is more muscle and less fat. I feel like a different person, inside and out. Keep it up; you will be happy you did!

    I started lifting a few weeks ago, originally with Jamie Eason's program, but switched after reading NROL4W, now I am nearly done with phase one of that, and reading new rules of lifting for abs. Also looked into stronglifts and starting strength, and will probably end up doing my own hybrid version of everything - all geared to the equipment I have, and allowing for my 10k running program.
    As for results - weight +- the same, BF down a little, strength up, endurance up, jeans don't fit the same anymore (I think I actually have bigger thighs now, hoping that will change once I drop more body fat).

    I'm currently completing the last four weeks!

    In terms of results so far, I feel amazing. I started with a BMI of 20.9, so I knew that focusing on losing weight would be silly. Instead, I've been focusing on appearance and strength gain.

    Appearance: My body fat % has decreased, I see definition in my muscles, I can almost consider my figure decent looking now, my BMI is now 19.7

    Strength Gain: Too many exercises to list all their improvements, but I'm most happy with my squats. I started squatting with a 40lb barbell (lol). Now squatting 115% of my body weight.

    As a note, I didn't follow the program as strictly as I could have. I repeated week eight, twice. Once because I wanted to continue trying to improve my lifts, and twice because my usual gym was going through renovations and trying new, plyo related exercises in a smaller gym I'm not familiar with doesn't appeal to me too much. Furthermore, I have incorporated some level of cardio since day one. I also didn't allow myself to gain weight to improve strength at a faster rate. I don't know if I'm going to implement carb cycling either, since I think it might have negative consequences on my relationship with food.

    That being said, everything has still been great. So great. It's taught me so much. Recommended!

    I am thinking about starting it when I get back from vacation on June 19th, so as not to have any interruptions in training. I was going to do Jamie's program, C25K, and Zumba once a week. That's the summer plan!

    I'm actually doing a different lifting program but I would LOVE MFP friends who are doing a weight training program with clean eating to help push and motivate me to reach my goals.

    Please anyone feel free to friend me and I'll happily provide motivation/support!!

    I am doing New Rules right now, but want to try LiveFit after. I have heard so many great things about the program.

    I think I also want to try this, even though it goes against everything I've ever known about fitness. I've lived by lower calories and cardio so I will need to reprogram my brain. I am worried about the weight gain in the beginning but I will try to focus on the way I feel instead of the scale. It would be great to have friends that have the same goal and I will add some of you. Feel free to add me if you like.
