I have just written a post pretty similar to this, happy to go along this journey with you 😊

Please add me, I am back after having two children and looking to get my fitness back, I found the support on here fantastic last time!

Hi, I am just back after a two children/4 year absence and looking to build up support/friends on here as I start my journey back to health and fitness. Feel free to add me as a friend too

Hi there, I have just rejoined, I have a 10 week old and have a stone to stone and a half to lose, will add you and we can work on this together. Not sure how much exercise I'll be able to fit in but hoping to get my eating habits sorted out

Hi there, Will send a friend request shortly, like your story very inspirational. I am trying to stay away from sauces and cook and eat more cleanly but my cooking confidence is not great but getting better! Any tips on recipes and cooking will be gratefully received! Good Luck with the healthy eating too :) :happy:

'Goodbye my Lover' by James Blunt, makes me cry everytime I listen to it!

Bumping for later! Thanx for sharing, sounds fab!

Hi, I stopped tracking sugar for exactly that reason, 90% of my sugar intake comes from fruit and I was also over the MFP allocated amount, so I just took it off my diary and don't worry about it anymore. Don't have sugar in hot drinks or on cereal, so the other 10%, to me is fine. Hope that helps a bit :)

Hey there, My advice would be to tackling one at a time until you think you have it nailed. So take the drinking more water, decide how much you want drink each day and then make that the target for 2/3 weeks and when you've mastered it, pick the next thing to tackle perhaps cutting something out this time, then adding…

Hi there, Adding friends builds up a support network, encouraging comments on workouts and calories burned, tips on diet and diaries, as you can share them with each other. Just basically sharing diets/workouts/tips/stopries, supporting andalso setting challenges each month, for instance, me and few on my network have set…

Great job!!! You must be v.pleased with all your hard work!!!

Bump to get into my topics!

Hi Ladies, Please feel free to add me too, always looking for some more NROLFW friends, I have just started Stage 2!! I am a complete weight lifting convert after being a cardio crazy for years :) I log every day on here too, it's made a huge difference to my eating habits and lifestyle!! Suz x

Bump to read later, had a quick look and love what I'm seeing. Currently doing NROLFW just started Stage 2, after being a cardio crazy person for years I am the biggest weight lifting convert.....LOVE IT!!! P.s. Any weight lifting ladies feel free to add me, would love some more friends who do this to learn from Suz xx

Squat 45kgs/100lbs Deadlift 47.5kgs/105lbs Do a fully extended push up (i.e. not on my knees) from the floor Thank you New Rules of Lifting for Women :happy:

Hi there, I am just coming to the end of The New Rules of Lifting for Women - Stage 1. I was a complete beginner going into it and have to say I love it!! Stage 1 consisted of: Barbell Squats Barbell Deadlifts Seated Rows Wide Grip Lat Pull Downs Dumbbell Shoulder Press Push Ups Steps Lunges Planks or Swiss Ball Crunches…

Forget the scale and start with the tape measure....you'll lose inches rather than pounds lifting weights :)

Hi there, I log daily and post regularly with support and encouragement and happy to help you reach you goals and in turn for you to keep me on track too?! If thats sounds like what you are looking for...feel free to add me :)

Hi there, I log daily and am very supportive to my friends on here and my diary is open too. Anyone feel free to add, the more the merrier!! :)

Wow.....I was doing 1200 calories up until a month ago when I started the New Rules for Lifting for Women, which completely blows that theory out of the water. Brilliant article!! Thanx for posting :)

Hi all, add me too, relative newbie to lifting, I'm half way through Stage 1 and really enjoying it :)

Hiya, fellow sweet tooth here, if you are in the UK try www.graze.com, not sure if they deliver outside of the Uk too, low calories snacks both sweet and savoury to suit your wants and needs. I get one a week and keep them in my draw at work......for a free box type in code G51MDRJ - anyone else reading this feel free to…

Hi there, Happy to help and be helped along the way. I log every day and try and encourage and support all my friends on here! I have just started a women's weight-lifting programme - New Rules of Lifting for Women - as it's new I am really enthusiastic but will need the encouragement to stay that way. My downfalls diet…

I've bit the bullet and ordered a small bag of some really natural type not the full on body building stuff and will see how I get on. Got unflavoured so will not be doing shakes, will add into yogurt, eggs, porridge, etc, I just can't seem to get anywhere near the daily amount with my diet!!

Glad I saw this, was wondering the exact same thing, I'll head for the cross-trainer/elliptical before workouts then, rather than doing the lifting.....perfect!

Nesquik yum, off to the supermarket for me later!! I love salmon, thanks for that, will defo give it a try! :)

Thanx for the heads up on that one!!! And chocolate milk, MORE than happy to go with that one instead....any particular type or just normal off the shelf?! I am trying to bring in more fish, nuts and yogurt into my diet, I'd rather do it that way too! I've bought some fish oil tablets too but think I'll stop at them for…

Bump. So glad I have seen this, I was about to go out and buy some tubs of protein powder, so perhaps now I won't, might get some bars instead though and up my intake of eggs and fresh meat on lift days!! Thanks again BreMurie :)

Bump! I am going to start this in the next week or so, just reading through the book and getting bit confused too! Also, any advice on what weight to start on...how do you work that out? AND do you eat right after your workout as the book suggests, if so what - protein bar/shake or something else?! Cheers, also more…

Bump! This is the most helpful post I have come across. Only got the book last night and have read first chapter, but on reading posts and websites and such I'm getting more and more confused by it all. I have lost 10lbs in the last five weeks using 'traditional' methods - cardio, low calories, etc and am now after some…
