I have that same issue. I have a few lumps on the right side on my inner thigh - my left looks really nice and smooth. I asked my dr. about it and she said it's possible that my right leg is a little shorter than my left, so it doesn't worked out as thoroughly as the left. No idea how to fix!

somehow, I've eaten over 100... no dinner yet either. At least I know why I'm not hungry :)

I also had that problem. MFP set me at 1,300 calories a day and I was a grumpy jerkface to everyone around me. I used the TDEE method as well and upped mine to 1,400. The extra 100 calories actually made a HUGE difference. Also, remember to eat back all your exercise calories. This will help too :)

Morning ladies, been a bit since I posted, but just wanted to check in. I'm kinda feeling in the "funk" a few of you have been talking about. I'm over halfway done with stage one and am not really feeling stronger or better. My fiance tells me he can notice a difference, but I just simply can't see/feel it. I think I just…

@Beeps - Oh it was a great time. I went to visit my childhood best friend who I've known practically all my life. We ate a ton of great food, rented a convertible on Friday and drove out to wine country, spent the day sipping lovely wine in 85 degree weather getting a killer tan (aka sunburn then tan), hung out and day…

Welcome to all the newbies! @lambentjewel: You can share how you did daily or weekly, it's just up to personal preference. Usually I just check in a few days a week to catch up, see how everyone is doing and talk about wins/where I need improvement. I myself am struggling to get back into the groove I was in before…

Hi ladies! Well I'm jumping on the "doing damage control from the weekend" bandwagon. San Fran was way fun, but took it's toll. Stepped on the scale this morning to an extra 3 lbs (hoping a lot is water but we'll see). Got back to the gym yesterday and am hoping to workout everyday this week. Too busy at work to write much…

Well seeing as how I'm only on stage one, I'm not sure this will help much BUT it really seems like the most necessary equipment so far is dumbbells and barbells. A swiss ball would be nice to have as well, but you can substitute other workouts (planks etc) for the workouts on the ball. A bench would be helpful too.

Zobo - totally agree with Better. I just started New Rules of Lifting for Women and with that I weight train 3 days per week. On my lifting days I usually run about a mile on the treadmill to warm up. I try and incorporate running at least 2 off days as well in additional to the morning 2ish mile walks I take with my dog.…

Working for me so far, but talk to me next weigh in day (next Monday) :)

Oh and PS I hope my back/arms look like that last pic of you someday!

Great thanks! I should have my dude come with me too. Smart move :)

Can't see the pics either but great strength gains. I will be officially halfway through stage one today and once I finish that it's on to stage 6 (to firm up my arms/shoulders/back) for my upcoming wedding. I also don't feel like I've changed much, but am excited to see where my measurements/strength stacks up in three…

Happy hump day! The week has started off really well as far as eating/working out goes for me, so I'm hoping that I won't do too much damage in San Fran this weekend. My friend I'm visiting doesn't have a car so I hope to get lot's of walks in! Couldn't agree more with you Ris/Better. Since I stopped really caring about…

Amen sister! Except the weather this June has been AMAZING!

I live in Seattle, so in order to keep my sanity during the 9 months of grey weather we get a year I have to love the rain :)

You look amazing! Can't wait for the next three weeks of my stage one to go by so I can see if anything has changed :)

Morning ladies! Tomorrow I will officially be halfway through phase one and I have to say I feel much stronger than I did on day one. Yesterday I blasted through pushups (granted it was at a 30% incline) so I think I might be ready for a few "real" ones next time! I think my plan is to finish up stage one, the head…

I'm always astonished at how much more my food cost "goes up" when I cook at home, but really when I break it down between 2 people, 3 meals a day for 4-5 days it all comes out to be MUCH cheaper than eating out.

Try www.skinnytaste.com OR emilybites.com. Lot's of great recipes!

Like everyone else on this thread, I always log even if it means having to see that I went over by 500-1,000 calories. What I try and do is save some workout calories from the week so I can have them to use over the weekend. I also log on my phone, makes it really easy and quick!

Morning ladies! I had an OK weekend, but still overdid it on the drinking. I don't anticipate this weekend being much better as I'll be visiting my childhood best friend in San Fran this upcoming weekend. I did try and watch what I ate, which seemed to have paid off as the scale was down about a pound this morning, and I…

I'll give it a try! Thanks Beeps!

She already took out the hips a little and the boobs in. Worse comes to worse, I've got time on my side :)

Not a great pic, but you get the drift

Definitely not trying to lose weight to fit into the dress, just more trying to lean out, gain muscle and overall happiness with my life. The way I look at it, I suck so bad on weekends that I should probably be more strict on weekdays to balance it out. Haven't lost an ounce on the scale since I started NROL4W. I'm not…

Thanks guys! I'll give it a go :) Have a great weekend everyone.

Happy Friday all! I think I may have overdid it a little on Wednesdays workout. My legs are still wrecked today, and I'm not sure my scheduled workout tonight will be all that fruitful. With that being said, do you guys usually push through and get it done, or give it an extra day to recover?

it's a corset thankfully, and that's kind of what I was thinking. I guess I can pad my boobs if they get too small. I don't anticipate dropping a ton of weight or anything, but I just started lifting weights and can already tell a difference. I just don't want it to make me look bigger than I actually am (it's fitted all…
