I agree with the above, forget the scale. I honestly touch that thing once a month or two and it never goes anywhere. Remember that progress takes time, after 3 months, I hardly went down two inches total. Most importantly, DO NOT get discouraged if things fit a bit tighter. I can't wear my pants from 3 months ago, but…

Thanks all, I will try and do a walk and see how that goes, maybe up it to a run :)

I'm doing NROLFW, been at it since late November. Scale hasn't moved but my shape sure has. I was discouraged reading forums about my lack of weight loss or even BF% not going down. In the end, everyone is different and bodies will react differently. You need more time. Adding to that, I did the 30DS before the lifting…

@sarahbri923 It is really refreshing to see that 175 can look super fabulous. It does go to show it is just a number and not a size. I rarely post on discussions like this one but you have opened my eyes quite a bit.

How much shoes really do make a difference -I have a love/hate relationship with running, my friend is the only person that motivates me to go on a weekly run

Thanks. I think next break I'll try the deload. The book just recommends a strict break (what I remember. I read the book last year but just started the program again). I'll definitely start the weighing, I do have a scale and never thought it would make that much of a difference. It will be interesting to see how far I am…

Done as of yesterday (all translated to lbs): Workout A 1 arm db snatch: 23-31 (I had rotator cuff issues early on that got me a bit scared of this one) db one leg rdl: 40-60 bar bent over row: 74-87 db one arm overhead squat: 15-18 (the heavy weight, still awkward but I think I had it figured with a lower weight to keep…

Thanks. I mix up reps and sets a lot, I think it said 2-3 sets, so that was my question that you answered still :)

Stage 4, how many reps did anyone (who answers) do?

Check our forums and things like Pintrest. Lots of ideas on grocery lists and what you can do in a few hours. I like to do freezer meals in ziplocks for the crockpot. I spent a few hours cutting up some veggies and meats put them into different bags with some broths and made things like soups, stews, stirfrys and plenty…

I eat cottage cheese for breakfast, it helps. I just finished making some meal plans to reduce carbs/increase protein and most things came to adding more meat (I get bored of it quickly). I'm also trying to add more eggs where I can and greek yogurt (the plain, unsweetened can be added to many things as a cream…

Almost half way, mus say.. I don't hate any of these exercises really. Even the BWM isn't terrible.

Barbell jeans is a pretty neat concept, Im checking them out now. And love the the relentless look to be on an average person and not model. Thanks for those suggestions.

Day 2 is usually the worst (for me). Take a day off, maybe some yoga or stretching as suggested, or low impact like a casual swim or bike? Don't over do it, you will hate how you feel and quit.

I've been doing the skirts and dress thing in summer, our winters are almost a little too harsh at times. I like getting the different brand ideas because some brands I would never think of trying or going into the store (liie American Eagle, thanks @Inrussell195), but if they fit, that is all I'm looking for.

Good luck. Tonight was going to be 3A, but a cold has me knocked down. Maybe after tomorrow's run? This is the first break I have taken between.

I should be doing 3 tonight. I looked at my previous, seems I only did about half before quitting.

Will I see you in Stage 3 posts now @kimiuzzell ?

There is my previous! Now for this time: I put a + or minus in front as a gain or loss from previous Stage 2. Seems I did great in A, not so much in B. +FSPP: 33lbs -48 lbs (incl bar) +Step-up: barbell with 142lbs total - 159 lbs total +One-point Rows: 40lbs - 54 lbs +Static Squat: 105lbs - 114 lbs (barbell bar incl)…

I took a little break with holidays, moving on to stage 3 tomorrow. I still want to see my gains and losses. Hopefully this week.

Finished and couldn't be happier! I'm excited to move on. Maybe I'll post tomorrow on my gains.. I'll see also of I can find my previous post when I did stage 2 and compare.

Thanks all! I like the opinions of the high waisted jeans too, helps me think I'm not crazy in thinking they look bad, or would on me at least.

I'm listening to ya kimiuzzell. I have one more 2b left and I am done! I can't wait to finish this stage. I did NROLFW 2 years ago (but quite through stage 3). I am now comparing my before and after lifts, some gains, some not. I agree with you I love love love the BSS! I never thought I would like something in the form of…

The app/website Jefit has loads of exercises and some workout routines.

Last time I did stage 1 I gained about 2 lbs. Hard to judge because 2lbs is my fluctuation. This time I weigh more and lost 4 lbs. Both times I lost inches, this time with more weight loss seen less inches lost. Stage 1 is a weird one to judge what will happen in the program. Keep at it though!

Thanks for the responses again. I'm out in Calgary so it isn't so much the cold but our chinooks that come in melt the snow and make every sidewalk a skating rink. It has been quite mild here so far though.

I am repeating after a 2 years break. I stopped a few years back because my body was changing too much and my wedding dress wasn't fitting in certain areas. Then I tried again earlier this year from home but stopped advancing from lack of equipment and got bored. Now I am back at it and 2 WO away from finishing stage 1…

Thanks. I have tried a few times to do some videos but I found the constant jumping they like to do a bit much after some lunges, stepups.. etc.
