You should get it :-)

Once you get used to the calories you'll love it.... Check out this group for lots of information http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/3817-eat-more-to-weigh-less

Alwyn Cosgrove (they guy from the book) said on Facebook the other day that soreness is not a sign of a good workout and that you don't have to feel sore. I was worried too that I wasn't sore anymore so reading that made me feel good about it.

I just read through the thread where I saw the link for the calculator. The guy that posted it originally explains a few things...here is his answer he gave in regards to the slower weight loss when the activity increases.. 8. I put in more workout days, it's telling me it'll take longer to lose the weight? As above said,…

I haven't noticed that...I wonder if it got anything to do with it being aimed at lifters?

Maybe set yourself smaller goals to make it less daunting? A certain body fat percentage first, then lower, more definition and then start on building more muscle and gains?

I personally would also say that you don't need to eat at maintenance. I don't as I have weight to lose so I didn't really see a reason to eat at maintenance.

I am doing the program too. Come an join the group on here... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/102-new-rules-of-lifting-for-women-nrol4w

All you ladies are doing so well! I can't do proper push ups. I do them on a bench in the gym and I nearly smacked my face the other day as my arms just gave in :laugh:

Hi ladies Great to see everyone is doing so well! Aren't we a good bunch?! :wink: I had a great time at the gym today. I planned to go to the gym in the morning before work but when I woke up it was so dark and cold. Autumn has really hit the UK. I just felt like hibernating. I didn't go. After work I was so tired but I…

I can recommend New Rules of Lifting for Women. I have been doing it for the past 5 weeks and love it. I am actually excited to go to the gym. It's a program that lasts for 6 months too and there are lots of other books in the New Rules series.

I would recommend New Rules of Lifting for Women. I have been doing it for 5 weeks now and love it. I feel amazing. I have tried so many DVD's including P90X. It is ok but I found the workouts too long and Tony Horton very annoying (sorry). After 5 weeks of doing New Rules I have lost inches already and I am eating around…

I have read it and really liked it. I am not following it completely as I am vegetarian but I really like the principle of clean eating and feel so much better and healthier! You can cook your won recipes you might just have to change a few ingredients. It will be great for your kids to grow up without consuming loads of…

Please check out New Rules of Lifting as mentioned before. It includes all you need to know. It covers calories, why women do not bulk, why to lift heavy and more. It also includes a program for 6 months. I have been doing it for about 5 weeks and I loooooove it! I am feeling great, I am excited to go to the gym and I have…

If you are starving maybe you should listen to your body and eat! Just eat healthy. Sear for the group Eat more to Weigh less on here....You might find your answer there :smile:

Check out the cauliflower pizza crust. It sounds weird but it is brilliant. Tasty, low cal and low in carbs. http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/recipe-forum-sticky-threads/543510-you-wont-believe-its-cauliflower-pizza-crust.html

That is good to know! I add 300 cals on the lifting day and for the next day I try to stick to my normal cals but if I am hungry I keep eating :smile:

They are hard aren't they. Do you do them on an incline?

The way I do it (and I am pretty sure that is what it says in the book) is to step forward and do the lunge/downward move and then with the front leg push back to the starting position and then step forward with the other leg. I think that pushing yourself back into the staring position is part of the move.

I have to say I am quite proud of myself. I got up an hour early this morning to go to the gym before work. In the past I planned it so many time but never actually got up but with NROLFW I am actually looking forward to the workouts. It was hard as I am not a morning person but I felt great afterwards and I felt really…

I switched from skimmed milk to semi skimmed milk for example. I generally found switching from low fat/cal products to regular once really helps. Might seem obvious but as I found myself so programmed to always go low cal/low fat just going for the regular products was a new thing. You could also add avocado to a salad,…

Great! In the beginning I was struggling to reach my calories but it gets easier pretty quickly. I love it now that I don't have to worry about food all day long!

:smile: :heart:

It took me a little while to get my head around eating more. I do actually find it really bad how 'scared' we get to eat. It's bad and it seems like you get brainwashed for years and are trying to eat less and less. So I suppose it is only normal that it takes a little to get your head around it. I was reading a lot about…

You're welcome. That is the calculation I go by. I have my diary set to 1850 and then on lofting days I add 300 on top of that!

I did A5 today. So excited to be over half way! :smile: I was looking forward to the gym today as I was intrigued by the changes of the sets and reps. I have to say that out of the 3 different settings I prefer the 12 reps and 2 sets combo most. I liked the 10 reps today but not so keen on doing 3 sets. Only because I do…

Have you tried the calculator on here? http://maggiewang.com/2008/05/20/new-rules-of-lifting-for-women-diet-calculator-and-workout-logs

Hello ladies Today I did B4 so I am half way through Stage1 . So excited. I really love the program. It just feels right - if that makes sense. I am increasing my weights on most workouts every time. Great to see all the amazing progress you ladies are having.

Can only recommend What Katie Did! They have gorgeous vintage style lingerie! Especially as you said 'old fashioned' their lines are so glamorous and full of classic style. They also have really well made corsets!
