I think weight matters much less than body fat %. I am 5'10, and my highest weight was 185 (200 while pregnant). I am at my lowest now, which is 134. However, it doesn't look good because I have always had a body fat % that is too high. So, I started NROLFW, and I try to get 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. If I…

NROLFW will answer all of those questions. It is a great program, just do your best to follow what it said. I just started the program after reading through the book twice. I was nervous at first, but I really love how lifting makes me feel. Just don't be afraid to lift like you mean it! Also, get ample protein

Great job :) you even have better posture, now!

Hello, I'm Nicole, 23 years young. I have a lovely son who will be turning 5 on December 4th! I just downloaded NROLFW, and I'm currently reading it. I plan to start between Jan12 and Jan 14. I am finishing up P90x and then will be on vacation in the beginning of Jan. I am 5'10 and about 139 pounds, 20% body fat. I want to…

"I'm glad you are trying to be an understanding nurse. But you will encounter many patient problems beyond obesity. I'd recommend reading up on how to be compassionate and non-judgmental regardless of the situation. It's very much a practice and one most of us do not become perfect at. So, you also have to apply that…

NO. I do NOT speak of fat people in such a way, so please do not talk to me like you know me better than I know myself. Are you my God? No. Secondly, I am fat. I was overweight a lot of my life. Right now I am in the healthy range for weight, but my BF% is too high. Thirdly, I specifically came to this forum because I knew…

All your stories broke my heart. Thank you for your answers; I truly appreciate everyone's help. Good luck with weight loss, and I hope you all are able to reach a point in life when you are truly happy with yourselves. I am not there yet myself, but I am working on it! :)

I use syntrax vanilla bean whey protein. It is a pure isolate, which is what you may want to use after working out. Try to stay away from partly or completely concentrated whey protein if you are looking for something to take right after lifting. Also, if you are concerned at all about toxicity levels in protein powders,…

I am definitely in! I will weigh in tomorrow morning

I'm in! I also run, but I will be biking to school at least 2 days a week. 136 miles this month from biking to and from school for the month, plus 64 miles of "free" rides. Goal for the month=200 miles. Sunday, September 2 nd, 17 miles

THIS.

5'10 and 145 . Trying to get down to around135 , but I am more looking toward losing body fat. Would like to get to 18% :)

I am starting tomorrow! I never stay motivated to push through the entire thing. But, I had an appendectomy and wasn't able to work out. So, now I really need to get my butt in gear. :)

I wouldn't focus too much on bmi, as it is more of a general guideline and isn't individualized. If you feel good with where you are, your bmi may be too high, but you could have a lot of muscle. Personally, I would figure out body fat percentage and use that to determine whether or not you should lose any more.

I am 5'10...currently weigh about 146' with 22.6% body fat last time I checked. My goal is around 130 to 135' but this is not set in stone. I have a small frame and don't naturally carry a lot of lean muscle, so even when I was down to 135 before, I was definitely "skinny-fat"

Beautiful! Question for you ladies who have been successful: how are you eating? And what is your macronutrient ratio? Great work! :)

Thank you, I will look into those. I guess I won't know what features I really need/want until I go and look at them in person.

I am in :) Ran 3 miles July 2nd. Today I will be starting p90x but will try to get a few miles in as well.

CW: About 145 (I don't weight until the 8th, so I don' know for sure) GW:140 UG: 130 July 8 July 15 July 22 July 29

What you are talking about doing is like Atkins Induction phase, or a Ketogenic diet. When I tried this, I lost about 6 pounds in the first 4-5 days. But here is the deal. You just want to do it for 4 days, that's fine if that's what you want to do. But as soon as you start eating your carbs again, you WILL put all that…

Yay! I want to be a part of this :D I have started p90x a few times, but I could never stick with it. I am a person who needs someone to hold me accountable. This group is perfect for me. I am so pumped! I will start this evening. Highest weight: 185 (about 4 years ago) Current weight: I'm not too sure because my trainer…
