  • I would recommend posting in the Stronglifts for Women and the New Rules of Lifting for Women groups (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/119-new-rules-of-lifting-for-women-nrol4w-) - they're more active. (And they tend to be a lot nicer than the general forum folks.)

    in New Rules Supercharged Comment by badgergrrl September 2013
  • I've been lurking for a while, and randomly replying to other threads when I feel I have something to add - which isn't often :). I have been doing Supercharged for a couple of weeks, and I fear it's turning me into an ox. Granted, I'm built like one to start with - I'm not sure I have any slow-twitch muscle fibers at all,…

  • Yup. I have a pair of 'goal jeans' and a 'goal dress'. I can just barely get them on, and then I am so happy when I feel like I can actually wear them in public. I also kept a pair of jeans from when I was heaviest, so I know how far I've come.

  • Other thing that I'm not sure has been mentioned yet is - where are you in your cycle? I started looking at my weight fluctuations against my menstrual cycle, and now know there are certain times of the month that I just don't weigh myself....

  • You should also know that clothing can vary from item to item, even in the same size, cut and color. Most clothing today is cut from very large stacks of fabric with a die, and there is some variation as the die goes through from top to bottom (think about cutting a large stack of paper with scissors - same principle).…
