I have gluten sensitivities and have been almost completely gluten free for 5 years now. IMO, starting out, don't try and just replace everything you are used to with gluten with a gluten-free substitute. It won't do anything to help your weigh issues...and the grocery store GF stuff is wicked expensive! Instead, look for…

I checked out a copy of "New Rules of Lifting for Women" from the library....loved it so much that I bought myself a copy and I use it like a workbook. I lift at home, and my boyfriend already had all the "stuff" I needed to get started. I ended up purchasing a 6', 15lb bar, since the BF's bar was 45lbs and I couldn't even…

^^ this We shop pretty much by the meal, unless it's something frozen, like bags of chicken or a good deal on fish. Red meat is always fresh. I'm horrible with veggies going bad since I am the only one that eats them. I started getting pre-made salads at the grocery so everything is measured out for me and no waste. I only…
