Thank you. Less waist already!! My back is 90% better but I still haven't been back in the gym. We're having a heat wave in England at the moment & we are just not set up for these kind of temperatures here. I am LOVING the sunshine but the air con in my gym is rubbish.

Woke up this morning back to square one with my back. I'm so fed up. Going to try to rest it as much as possible over the weekend & hope to get back to the gym on Monday. It's not all bad. I did my measurements last night, one week in & am really pleased - I've lost 5cm over my thighs, hips, waist & chest!! No change on…

My back is finally on the mend & I hope to be back in the gym tomorrow. Fingers crossed! I'm not following the nutrition plan, just trying to eat well most of the time.

I did my second…

Thanks for the reply. That's a good idea. How exactly did you work it out please? Did you do separate calculations for A and B?

Thanks for the replies. I've just started doing the New Rules of Lifting for Women & am logging for my own progress really. The example I was thinking of was last night when I was doing step ups with a dumbbell in each hand - wasn't sure if I was lifting 10kg or 5kg if you see what I mean? Whatever the answer, I'm going…

Hi everyone! :smile: I did my first workout from the book last night (stage 1 workout A). The biggest mistake I made was showing one of the gym trainers my worksheet & asking him to show me how to use the squat rack. He spent the next 10 minutes trying to convince me to use the power plate instead! Eventually we…
