He he...When I put it into youtube it cam up with loads of beauty videos on how to set your hair...I suppose it is the sort of stuff I normally watch :smile: I can only imagine it too be nice and hope it doesn't sound weird but I really enjoy the 'pain' you get from massage tight or sore areas....

Thanks again for all the information. I will buy one I think and see how I like it :-)

Thanks a lot for the input. I think I will get one. My legs are so tight and sore and just the thought of having something to massage it feels good :smile: I have seen DVD's with exercises might get one of that too.

I am sure you'll do great at home too! Are you part of the NROLFW group? Lot's of others doing it and great community!

I haven't got my book here but if you go to the main page of this group you'll find links to pages that also have the workout logs as well as a calorie calculator for the specific NROLFW book

Thanks everyone for the input. I managed to find another gym close by that has a squat rack. So will be changing over next months!

Thank you and wow! 100lbs deadlift is amazing! And it is also so encouraging to see your starting weights. Some of them are fairly similar to mine. Can't wait to be deadlifting the 100lbs :smile:

Already posted in the Stage 1 thread but as I had so much good advise of you ladies here I am posting again: Hi all I just had brilliant news I found a gym close by that has a squat rack! And it is even a bit cheaper. It is a bit of a walk but I am so glad I found it. It was really bothering me that my gym didn't have one.…

Hi all I just had brilliant news I found a gym close by that has a squat rack! And it is even a bit cheaper. It is a bit of a walk but I am so glad I found it. It was really bothering me that my gym didn't have one. So now I just have to wait a month to cancel the gym I am at now and switch over. I just have to work with…

Wow this thread is moving fast :-) I just wanted to say thank you for the suggestions in regards to my gym not having a squat rack. I will definitely look into the goblet squats and I am still looking for another affordable gym in my area.

Wow I am impressed with they weights you ladies squat! Well done! And I am actually a member of the YMCA. I am in the UK and it is also very cheap here but unfortunately no squat rack. It is so annoying as I really like the gym and it is literally 2 mins walk from my flat! I emailed the other gym in my area that is run by…

Hi all Today was actually my first day of NROLFW and I loved it. I have only one problem and that is that my I my y gym does not have a squat rack only a smith machine. How about you ladies? Does your gyms all have squat racks and if not what do you do?

Thank you for the advise ladies! It's a tricky one! I don't think there is a bench press rack in my gym either. I did ask the trainer today if they have a squat rack and he said no maybe he would have mentioned it. I will check again on Wednesday. It is not easy for me to change the gym. I am a student and money is very…

Thank you for the encouragement! The people on the treadmill did not bother me as much. They probably thought I am weird but I felt good as I am not spending hours running! It is more the muscle men that intimidate me but hey at least I am working out!

Thank you for the welcome and yay MelodyAnn we can start together :smile:

I have another question actually. My gym does not have a squat rack only a smith machine. How about you ladies? Does your gyms all have squat racks and if not what do you do?

Thank you for the nice welcome! I am looking forward to my progress and sharing it on here :smile:

Do you two eat the calories calculated by her excel sheet? I think I will (as it is easiest) but was wondering what others do.

Amazing results! I'd be over the moon! The pics are great but I find with my pics that it is best if I am in the same distance to the camera in both pics if that makes sense. I can see a difference though and your calf looks brill!

That is great! Could I ask you in how many places you measure?

Hi all Hopefully it is ok to join you all on here! Today was my first day at my new gym and I had trainer that went through all the Stage 1 exercises with me. I was so scared beforehand as the gym is tiny and I was intimidated by all the men. I am just scared that people would laugh at me.But it was great. I love the…

Hi all I am Daisy. To make a long story short I have been skinny up until the age of 25. The I moved to the UK and gained about 45lbs. I am really unhappy being overweight and I feel like it is not me. I really don't want to be skinny as I am 32 too now and I want a womanly shape. I tried various diets, running and have a…

Thank you! I am so glad I went. I am sure I'd still be a bit nervous next time but I know I can do it!

I DID IT! Yay! I am so happy! I was so scared to go to the gym today but I did go and it was great! The trainer was a really nice guy and was happy to show me all the stage 1 exercises. I was so nervous and shy at the beginning but soon felt ok and I really enjoyed the exercises! I loved it. Yes there were a couple of guys…

Thank you very much for all the encouragement! I am still nervous but I guess there is no way around it. I'll update tomorrow how it went!

Thank you ladies! I am lookin forward to it but at the same time I am scared. Hopefully it'll be better after the first day!

I don't really want to eat normal sugar. It is not part of the clean eating principles..

I think it is difficult to get 100% stevia. The stuff you buy in the supermarket is all processed and most of the times has added ingredients.
