One of the best posts I've read since being on MFP...Great job. You look amazing!!

I had the same problem when my son was young like that. I was starving all the time and I ate till full and found I was gaining weight and quickly. I couldn't believe it because it did not happen like that w/my first son. Luckily I can tell you my appetite did curb I wanna say around 3-4 months. My son is 5 months old now…

holy moly stage 2 workout A...those static lunges kicked my butt! I love how sore i was the next day cause that means they are really working...tone that butt!!!!

thank you...wish i was closer to my goal size so i could actually see some muscles faster =)

just finished stage 1 Workout A: squats: 85 -->115 pushup: 15 on a weight bench -->8 man pushups w/good form seated row: 60 -->105 step up: 50 (25 each hand) on step bench w 3 risers --> 70 (35 each hand) on step w 6 risers prone jackknife: same version but got way better w/form Workout B: deadlift: 90 -->120 dumbell…

there is a group on here called eating more to weigh less...they do the reset and generally they recommend at least 8 weeks and they have many success stories on there

I started eating more and doing nrolfw at the same time and for 4 whole weeks the scale didn't change and my clothes were feeling tighter. Even though i knew i wasn't getting fatter since the scale wasn't going up it was still so frustrating...well this week (week 5) i finally lost almost 3 pounds so my i'm guessing by…

you ladies look freaking awesome!!!! can't wait to post mine...only 4 weeks in so its gonna be awhile

whew ok i will be patient then thank you ! at least i'm not gaining =)

I'm so glad you posted this because i was starting to get discouraged...i just finish my 4th week of lifting and while i did lose a pound i feel like my clothes feel tighter so i assumed i was holding onto water but i thought for sure it would have been gone by week 4

Bump!!

I just finished stage 1 week 4 and although i have lost a pound i swear my bra and my pants feel tighter! I eat 2100 cal per day according to the book and i have quite a bit of weight to lose so its by no means just muscle gains...muscle is smaller that fat so since i haven't gained shouldn't my pants fit better? getting…

BUMP...I'M IN THE MIDST OF WEEK 3 STAGE 1 AND AM LOVING IT SO FAR

amazing...thanks for posting this...i'm going to try and up my calories using my tdee calculation...should i expect to gain weight the first few weeks? oh and did you wanna barf after eating the whole package =)

It's not so much the excercises it wants you to do its the very specific way you do them...it teaches you how to stand correctly and how to lay down on the floor correctly...the latter which is needed in order to perform the excercises correctly...its all about pulling your tummy in towards your spine and tilting your…

I recently got this book from befitmom.com and its all about doing the right exercises for people that have seperated abs from having kids...it got really good reviews and the book says it doesn't matter how post partum you are, your abs can still be fixed. So i was reading it and it all looked so simple that i thought i…

oops sorry about the all caps...habit:blushing:

WHILE EATING A LOT OF FRUIT IS WAY BETTER THAN EATING A BUNCH OF PROCESSED THINGS IT CAN STALL YOUR WEIGHTLOSS BECAUSE OF THE SUGAR...I WOULD TRY ONLY HAVE 1 OR 2 SERVINGS AND PREFERRABLY ONLY EAT THEM IN THE MORNING AND SEE IF THAT HELPS...OR YOU CAN TRY EATING DIFFERENT FRUITS...BERRIES HAVE LESS SUGAR AND ARE LOW ON THE…

i lost 15 pounds on it and thought it was really easy to stick to (i don't have a sweet tooth) but i plateaued for 3 months so i switched to a different plan...i don't really gain weight in my stomach area so it would probably work better for someone who carries their weight in their belly...i will give you some advice…

ha ha sorry...so used to having my computer on all caps for my job :happy:

I MAINLY TRACK MY CARBS...CALORIES DIFFER DEPENDING ON WHAT I EAT...ON DAYS WHEN I HAVE FATTIER THINGS LIKE STEAK MY CALORIES WILL BE HIGHER THAN ON DAYS WHERE I'M EATING CHICKEN OR FISH. PLUS I'M ADDING THINGS LIKE REAL BUTTER WHICH IS ALSO HIGH IN CALORIES. I'M NOT GOING OVERBOARD ON THOSE THINGS BUT MY CALORIES ARE…

ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT WHEN U ADDED EXCERCISE YOUR BODY PROBABLY HELD ON TO SOME WATER WEIGHT BECAUSE YOUR MUSCLES NEED THE EXTRA WATER...I ALWAY GAIN WHEN I START WORKING OUT...IT NEVER FAILS BUT I JUST KEEP GOING AND EVENTUALLY IT FALLS OFF. I SAY KEEP WORKING OUT...YOUR BODY WILL FIGURE IT OUT AND LET GO AND WHEN IT…

i doubt it matters that you went over 50%...i had a crazy hungry day and i ate like 1900 calories (still paleo though) w/a lot of nuts and it didn't affect me at all...did i mention i love that!!!! if i ate that many calories w/grains involved i would have been retaining some serious water and prob would have gained at…

i saw those percentages on a lot of peoples diary's too and i didn't get that because in the mark sisson's primal book it says to stay under 100 carbs to lose weight and only having 10% carbs on my diary puts me at like 30 carbs for the day...i set mine at 25%carbs (for 105 grams of carbs) 30% protein and 45% fat... hoping…

trust me i get that all the time and it is so frustrating...once they see your transformation they will start wanting to do it to...you just may be the person that gets them all healthy...at least ur fiance is supportive...lean on that =) pretty soon they'll stop pestering you when they see it doesn't make u change

bump...i'm on day 3 so i'm equally interested...post pics

i say if the thought of not being able to have bacon (also one of my favorites) is making u crave bad things then definately have it...i do and it makes everything better =)

i agree and i'm only on day 3...holy moly i posted that i was starting it and got ravaged geez....and actually looking at my breakfast (2 eggs,berries,3 slices bacon and 1/4 avocado) it was the healthy breakfast i have eaten in a long time...plus i knew that even though i was staying under my calories i was eating crap...i…

i'm on day 1 and i know the carb flu is coming...i'm preparing myself

awesome...you can totally do this! keep it up :happy:
