I have been looking for the book for days. Every place I went had the most recent book, but not the one for women. So now I have it in my hands, and I'm going to start reading. I've upped my cals from a 15% cut to TDEE this week, and I feel fat and miserable. Well, just fat. Not miserable. I did just get back from the beach. :-)
So here's to the start of a new me.
Any quick tips are welcome!

Where did u get the book? I can't find it either. Hang in there, I'm on day 16, best advice I have is track SODIUM !! Wow, I had no idea what mine was, too busy tracking my sugar
. Sure did help combat the bloat for me !!! 0 -
Found it on Barnes & Noble online and was able to pick it up at my local store. They had one left in stock.0

Get a stick to beat the men off with...
My only advice since I have the wrong undercarriage for that book

My library said it was only an "Ebook"...is it an actual book with pages? I feel crazy for saying that, lol on the undercarriage

Haha! Yes, it's a book with pages! I got Workout A1 in today, and I felt challenged, but it was certainly doable. Now I'm off to shop for the nutritional stuff!
Lol @ undercarriage. Hopefully the men will catch on that I'm not interested in their undercarriage anyway. ;-)
Happy body building!0 -

TO ensure I'm getting the right one, is this the one with a picture of the back of a woman holding a dumbbell while flexing? It looks like it was written in 2008?>0

Here is a handy spreadsheet for tracking your progress and demystifying the way they lay out the workouts in the book

GREAT NEWS~ I think you're gonna LOVE it!!
I just started yesterday and here's what I did ahead of time:
Got myself a clipboard (Walmart)
I copied Stage 1 Workouts A & B~ looked up the descriptions and the pics in the book.
Printed a few Workout Logs from the website.
Took advantage of a free Trainer session at my gym and went over everything with a Trainer~ who gave me some GREAT tips on modifying things for my particular skill level. (I am age 51 with MS and balance issues)
By doing this "dry run", I was able to become familiar the equipment and modifications I needed.
Yesterday went VERY smoothly and only took 25 minutes start to finish (included lost time looking for a swiss ball)
Good Luck and keep in touch, OK?

Got my copy on Amazon.
NROLFW is a weightlifting program designed for women. I just started yesterday and found it VERY doable!!
I am age 51 and just completed Jillian Michaels Body Revolution so I wasn't "brand new" at using weights, but this was very different and I love it.0 -
Get lifting gloves BEFORE you rough your hands all up. I'm wishing that I had purchased them right off.0

DEFINITELY!!!! 0 -
Yes to the gloves, I have callouses!
If possible I would also arrange to have someone walk you through the exercises to make sure you have the form correct if you can. I arranged an appointment with a guy at my gym to make sure I wasn't going to hurt myself!

i got my copy on amazon as well. it was a great read honestly even though im not doing the work outs right now. I tried to do them at home but i feel like i wont be able to properly challenge myself with the weights i have - so i will save it for when im ready to have a gym membership.0

Thanks, everyone. I'll have to buy some gloves!
Ang - I'll fill you in...0 -
You guys motivated me to finally get a NEW pair of gloves, which I did today!!0

Going into the gym to (finally) do workout B1. It's taken me since Sunday to recover!0
