Hi all, just finished S2 B1 today and I have a few questions: 1) on the A workout, I cannot get my upper arms perpendicular to my torso on the FSPP. Is there a trick? I feel like my wrists are going to snap if I try any harder! I was working with only the OB when I did A on Monday. 2) on the B workout, are we supposed to…

WOWZER! Definitely seeing big changes. You look like you own it in one of your after pictures :)

I'd suggest looking into the New Rules of Lifting for Women. Its an ace book and program and should answer all your questions!

NICE! Your abs are really starting to look good! Well done :)

Tear jerker... and unfortunately it rings true. This needs to change and we have to be the ones who change it.

Back on it after a forced week off and I have only one thing to say, JELLY LEGS!

Wow, nice work and amazing results! Thanks for sharing :happy:

Alarm bells are going off in my head! You're only netting 500 calories a day!!! My two cents is tough love; up your calorie intake to at least TDEE -20%.

Wow, amazing progress pics! I can see a huge difference! Thanks for sharing, its really motivating. Happy holidaying :)

The Protein Works, vanilla creme, chocolate silk and banana smooth all taste delicious with milk :)

I too am in the same boat. Up quite a few pounds and my trousers feel tight in the booty area! Its hard not to freak out but I keep telling myself its because I'm making big changes and its going to take my body time to adjust. I also tend to feel less hungry on the days I work out and out of control hungry on the days I…

Hi, I started NRoLFW on April 30th and just finished A5 today. I love it! I don't have the space to house my own equipement or I'd be all over that so I go to the gym instead. It was initimidating at first but now I feel confident and tend to walk in there as though I own the place! Just remember, we're all behind you! ~…

Wow Kelly and Lodi, you gals are doing great! I too struggle with the shoulder presses. I managed one set on my last A workout at 10kg but had so switch back down to 9kg for the second set. And it didnt' help that some guy was oggling me in the mirror and I felt like a Hulky freak. I just finished A5 today and I had an…

LOL! I'm going to go invest in some skirts this weekend and maybe then I'll stop flipping out about my jeans looking like they've been sprayed on! When I'm wearing my workout gear I feel strong and invincible (thank-you lycra) but when I get home and have to get dressed in normal clothes, its heartbreaking. But we're…

Thank-you for your reply, I really needed to hear this! I had been eating at TDEE since I started but I'm readjusting to TDEE-20% this week so hopefully, that will help too.

:laugh: FireRox21 you sure made me laugh! I just wrapped up NR S1B4 today. When I started, I had decided to eat at TDEE for stage 1. I put on a few pounds and my trousers are feeling tighter. This week I decided to go to TDEE - 20% and the scale is back to what it was when I started. I'm not saying that this will happen to…

I've just realized I should of being doing 2x12 reps on my last workouts. Thanks for your posts Amy, I'm going to get with the program now!

A big congratulations on all your achievements! Its amazing what you can do after 8 short weeks of hard work. I hope I can squat and deadlift that much soon too. As for the inches lost WOW! I'm wrapping up S1 week 3 and am getting discouraged because the scale is up 3 lbs and my trousers are feeling real tight. Seeing this…

Congrats on busting through your plateau! Its amazing progress in such a short amount of time! Are you following the NROLFW? I just started this 2 weeks ago and my trousers seem to be getting tighter which is worrying! I too am of the mindset that more is less and have adjusted to TDEE - 20%. Wish there was more of this on…

Hi all, just started S1 this week, heading off for 1B1 in a minute and would also love friends to journey through this together so please feel free to add me!

Really liking this thread! Today I finally went to the gym and started the New Rules of Lifting for Women; squat rack, olympic barbell and all! It wasn't as intimidating as I thought it would be and I really enjoyed it.

Hi! I've also just started this week. Tomorrow will be the first B workout. I'm really excited about this and looking for friends for motivation and also who know what I'm talking about! Really enjoyed the A but found the step-ups hard as I only have the choice between a too low step or a too high step where my leg isn't…

Hi all, just thought I'd jump in and see if anyone else is just starting? I've got 1A1 under my belt and will be doing 1B1 tomorrow. I really enjoyed my first session and am really looking forwards to completing this journey. Just looking for people in the same boat to connect with. Thanks for all the posts and the stats…

Wow, well done! I would love to know where you noticed the most difference? I've taken all my measurements and am starting Stage 1 tomorrow. Its really encouraging to see how far you've come in such short time! Good luck with stage 2 :smile:

Congrats on all your NSVs and your SV! It is so encouraging to read about your story, especially the part where your kids can no longer outrun you! I, like another poster, am lurking in the NROL4W group while I wait to start stage 1 in a couple of weeks time (when the planets have aligned lol). Your story will greatly…

You need to measure yourself and take pictures. The scales lie. Your weight might not drop but that doesn't mean that your body isn't changing. Measurements and pictures will give you a far better picture of the situation. You might not see a drop on the scales but you might be able to see that something is more toned and…

Hi aims_86, I live in West Berks, near Newbury. I've been on MFP for a while and am stuck in a rut! Have one more stone to lose and its the hardest bit so far! Train most days either running or doing at home dvd workouts. I'm looking to start NROWLFW (weight lifting) in the next few weeks as cardio isn't doing much for me…

bump for reference - can't wait to check these out!

I've read up on TDEEs a few times but never understood it as well as after reading your post so thank-you!
