I need some popcorn

I just think it's kind of ironic that one of your profile pics has a woman wearing a bra and underwear.

Your build is very similar to mine. I'm 5'8 and a half" and 141lbs, BMI is 20.8. Before I lost this weight I teetered between a 10 and 12. I don't know what happened but probably within the last few lbs I've miraculously started fitting into 4's and 6's. I've been this weight before but still stayed around a small 10 and…

Hey there!! I'm here, now we can get this party started :)

Thanks! I think I just needed to hear someone say that it was ok. I'm going to go to stage 2, and I also think I need to read parts of the book again.

Oh boy! I feel myself slipping backwards. I am a little more than halfway through stage 1 and I think I've started getting bored with alternating the same 2 workouts week after week. I am ready to mix things up and within the last week or so I have started reverting back to my old ways (lots of cardio, and taking classes…

I love that I am finally getting a a little bubble but!

You look awesome! I can see such a major difference, especially in your waist/lower back! I am doing something similar to you.I hit my goal weight and am now following the New Rules Of Lifting for Women and adding in HIIT on my rest days. I love it and hope to see results like yours soon!!

My newest addiction is Trader Joes fire roasted peppers and onions from the freezer section. I buy like 6 bags at a time and throw a huge handful into just about anything I make. It turns a small plate of something into a giant portion with very few added cals and the flavor from the fire roasting is amazing!

That's exactly how I feel about my knee. I only had one down day because of it but I am scared ****less to injure it again!

So after teeter tottering on what to do, I ended up taking my regular Friday cross training class. I took the last 2 weeks off but I really think I want to continue it. I used lower weights so that I wasn't straining my muscles since I did NROLFW yesterday but I feel like I got a ton of benefit from all the intervals and…

barefoot, I have that feeling when I'm ovulating not during my period but holy cow! Yes! It was a lot worse this month since starting NROLFW!

pretty girl!

Yes, I do squats with the barbell and lunges with dumbells as part of my strength training routine.

From Trader Joes? I agree, it is so good!! I've been packing mine to take to the gym as a post workout drink.

Congratulations! Huge milestone!!

Thanks for the article! It makes so much sense and was a good reinforcement since reading the book!

Ha! No, I made a mistake, it was swiss ball crunches :) Thanks for all the advise ladies. I will try those! Today was a recovery day. My muscles feel sore but great so I took a hot yoga class and am feeling on top of the world right now :)))

Nope, haven't read the book. I enjoy watching her on tv because she makes me laugh, but I don't think I would read the book. She's stick skinny by nature and what works for her probably doesn't work for me. I have no idea what she preaches but that's just my opinion for whatever it's worth ;)

oops, I meant swiss ball crunch :)

I agree, I don't snack when I'm drinking wine either. I did give up alcohol for the 1st 2 weeks when I started my journey. I actually became a bit of a cheap date after that. I slowly added it back because I really do enjoy it, and I have had great results losing weight and gaining muscle to spite it.

She also has a white cranberry cosmo, a white sangria. Have you tried either of those?

Happy Friday everyone! Just did my 4th workout of stage 1. Being very careful not to re-injure my knee! I am loving this so far!! Question- With the Jackknives and swiss ball crunches. I feel like 8 reps are way too easy. Am I missing something here? Today I did 2 sets of 50 jackknives with a 20lb weight. It was still too…

Yes! about every other night I'll share a bottle with my husband. I log it and it's worth every calorie :) I can't wait to try Bethanny Frankel's new skinnygirl line of red and white wines that are coming out. I also like a skinnygirl margarita on occasion too ;)

Uggg. So annoyed. Was supposed to do my 3rd workout in stage 1 today, and I didn't listen to my gut telling me not to take a workout class yesterday. I ended up stressing my knee and now instead of doing my NR workout today I am home icing my knee :( Now normally tomorrow I would be taking a kettlebell class, but I think I…
