He needs to be your EX-fiancé. Period.

I may be wrong but it sounds like your body is storing all your extra fat around your middle because at 1,000 cals a day you are starving yourself. That wouldn't be enough calories if you were comatose. I would fire your nutritionist and find a new one ASAP.

You look amazing!

You should join the NROLFW group, if you haven't already. It is super helpful! I did the barbell bent over row for the seated cable row since I was using weights at home.

They make nursing covers for a reason. I always fed my babies whenever they were hungry, it didn't matter where we were. Nursing covers are handy :)

I'm 1/4" shy of 5'8" and my goal is 135. I am a pear and I look so out of proportion right now at 147. The smaller I am, the less pear-ish I look. Edited to add: I have no boobs. Seriously. No boobs, small arms, you can see my collarbones even when I'm chubby, etc. I carry so much of my extra fat on my butt, hips, and…

Please do!

I wouldn't participate and there are so many sticky threads on here anyway, its crazy.

Do it at the same time. Start lifting weights - the more muscle mass you have, the higher your metabolism. Plus once you get down to your goal weight you'll already have nice strong muscles :)

I didn't have any of that when I first started my fitness journey. I bought 30 Day Shred and did that with 3 and 5 lb. weights. I also walked a lot. After I lost some weight and had been doing 30DS for a while I bought some new exercise DVDs and did those. I lost 40# and never had a gym membership.

Mmmm, those look good! I'll have to try that :) Love your blog by the way!

This is what I do as well :)

Thanks! I'll try that!

You are looking great! Awesome job!!

Finished Stage 2 tonight! Here's my strength gains... Workout A FS/PP - 55# > 65# Step-up - 19" step 40# > 60# Dumbbell one point row - 20#/10 > 20#/20 Static lunge, rear foot elevated - 40# > 60# Push-up - Knees to knees (I stink at push-ups) Plank - 30s > 45s Cable horizontal wood chop - 10#/10 on swiss ball (don't have…

I love it. I bought the book and read it twice and then I bought some weight equipment off of Craigslist and made some room in my shed so I'm able to lift at home. I love how strong it makes me feel.

A takes me about 45 minutes and B takes me about an hour but I don't do the HIIT workouts at the end.

That's what I eat everyday :) Starvation just isn't my thing.

Great job! You are looking great!

Barely sore but I was working out every day prior to starting this program. Now I'm on stage 2 and just did my first A workout and my triceps are crazy sore today and I can feel some soreness in the other muscles I worked.

Yes! I was working out 6 days a week doing either 30 day shred, Ripped in 30, Killer buns & thighs, and I did Body Revolution through week 11. I also run on occasion. I would love to lose a few inches off my hips, I don't know that it's happening anytime soon though ;)

So funny, I was thinking the same exact thing today when I was doing my first stage 2 workout. I struggled with 55 pounds on the front squat push press and I was squatting 115#. So glad to hear I'm not alone!

30 minutes for the workouts with 2 sets each then about 45 minutes for the others.

I am starting Stage 2 on Monday :)

I don't log it just because I already eat at TDEE and don't want to eat back any exercise calories. But I'm curious as to what others log it as. Good question!

Thank you ladies! I put total weight for the lunges and individual for the shoulder presses.

Your scale may not have moved but look how much more weight you are lifting compared to when you started! You kicked *kitten* and don't let the scale get you down! Keep at it and attack stage 2!

This is what I do :)

FRed you! I am a mom of six doing NROLFW and I happen to have twins too :)

I saw it with my kiddos and loved it!
