I LOVE this! :)

I feel like I need to print this out and keep it on me at all times! I am definitely a social eater and can NEVER turn down free food :)

I don't have 'after' pictures yet either, I'm almost through stage one and my booty is the FIRST thing I noticed improving. My boyfriend is a total booty guy so It's the one part of my body I wanted to go after, and all of the squats and lunges are paying off. .. i swear it's lifted a bunch! Another thing I've noticed is…

I've been trying to incorporate cardio on my off days, but here's the thing... going to the gym JUST to run on the treadmill or do the elliptical takes a lot of convincing from me.. so I'm trying to look into something I can do at home so I'm more consistent. I bought a Bob Harper cardio DVD and then realized it's chalk…

Congrats, you look fantastic!! I can only HOPE to see such results in 4 months!!

Anybody can add me too! I am on stage one and LOVE it so far :)

Thank you :)

Best. Post. Ever.

I want to do zumba too! Does anyone have a DVD recommendation? I searched Amazon but its hard to choose without any knowledge!

I also do the chocolate milk route! I also read that article or one similar saying there are some surprising benefits to drinking it post workout!

I hope my pants fall off soon ;)

Thank you I appreciate your feedback as well!! I will take this all into consideration. I keep thinking that I'll figure my magic number.. the time I had the MOST progress I wasn't counting calories just making smart choices.. I wish I had an idea of what I was consuming then... I think I will stick to what I've been doing…

Thank you I appreciate that!! I recently bought a food scale so I have incorporated that into my calorie counting, I use a HRM for workouts, so I hope its semi-accurate! I think I will take your advice and NOT increase calories right now. Thank you for the help!!

That's kind of how I was feeling, like I wanted to eat more... I just want to get my cals right, so if anybody has insight it'd be great! Last summer (before I found the message boards) I followed MFP suggestion of 1200 calories a day, and I was running 4-6 miles 3x weekly so I think I was at a serious calorie deficit, and…

I changed my calories to go by what the book said... I was at 1500 calories but the book said to do your tdee, should I maybe go back to 1500?? I only did one day of bumped cals... :-/ ETA my TDEE cal amount is 2030

This is the FB page, it looks like its regarding all of the NROL books. https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-New-Rules-of-Lifting/162437090449567

Thank you, that is very reassuring to hear!! Sadly, I'm on work out 6 of this plan and today my pants seemed to be tighter?! Hopefully just water weight..... I bumped up my calories this week to see if that maybe would help..

Hey everyone! I'm new to the NROLFW work out (just finished work out 6). I love it so far. I've been one of those types who will jump on the fitness bandwagon and fall off, 2 years ago I got in the best shape of my life with cardio and weight machines, tried again last year only doing cardio for the most part and got no…

I hear ya on the confusion, I'm six workouts in and my only advice is, don't look ahead at the workouts and read the whole book before trying to understand it. I was waiting for my book via UPS and was reading up on the website and it seemed sooo confusing I was almost scared to start! However, reading the book and getting…

I think so, he didn't say anything about that on the fb page, someone had posted asking about the protein shakes after the workout and he said that they've researched it more and it doesn't matter! I was also happy to see that :)

The New Rules of Lifting for Women has a facebook page and the writer commented on there that they have since changed their stance on protein, they no longer believe that the timing of the protein or how you get the protein is as important. So if you prefer to eat eggs but still get the protein you should be okay.

I actually don't warm up that way either, I do a ten minute warm up on the elliptical or treadmill.... because like you, I just feel doing that is redundant. Hopefully it has no dire effects on my progress.

And you should!!

Fantastic, what an inspiration!! :)

I don't know if it's right or not, but I assumed that I was to add weight when the reps drop, (higher weight, lower rep) which according to a plan I found on one of the threads it is the 2nd week Work out A.

Thank you for your help!! :)

I'm on workout 3 of stage 1, add me :)

I love skinnytaste.com!! I've made quite a few recipes, and I'm never disappointed.

Woodbury here!! :)

I can definitely relate to the intimidation. I was fully ready to go in and conquer my fear of the 'buff dudes' and I did, except when I did the gym was insane packed and there seemed to be a lot of just sitting on the machines done (resting periods, I'd imagine). So I felt even more intimidated standing around waiting for…
