Great advice. I will write this down as my goal on my log sheet :laugh:

Thanks hon! Another great pal right from the start! :heart:

I'm sure there are more qualified folks to comment on this, but I'd say you can't do it at home in its entirety. Stage 1 will require you to do barbell front quats and deadlifts every day, and you pretty quickly move on to really heavy weights (I'm squatting 120lbs after a month). However, you definitely can build up your…

Thanks so much everyone! I'm very touched by all the support, I'm so critical of myself and it feels really good to read such nice things. :blushing:

I :heart: you too! :blushing:

Thanks, glad to have had you as a friend from the very start!

It's for 6 days, otherwise I wouldn't sweat it...thanks for the tips!!!

Thanks a lot for jumpstarting the list, VoV, and thanks for all other contributions! This is extremely useful. There are definitely some staples on there I have never considered (nutrional yeast flakes, hemp). I will compile and make a blog post at some point.

It also seems to have given my metabolism a boost as the numbers on the scale have started moving again... I work out 5 days a week but not for very long, which…

I like your description of dabbling in veganism - I very much relate. Congrats on going 100% Feel free to add me, my diary is visible to my friends, and I welcome suggestions.

me, too, please!
