I have had Mirena for years and have not had a problem with it effecting weight loss or gain. Good luck!

I do heavy lifting, 3x a week for about 35 mins. and Zumba 1-2 days a week for an hour.

Hey everyone! Ashley and Tonya, I hope you both get back 100% soon. I know it must be hard trying to scale it down and not go full out. I'm heading out to the gym to complete 1A8. Whoo Hoo!! After today, just one more workout B, then the two special workouts and I am done with Stage 1!! I am so ready to move on. I am…

Thanks!!

Love your statement in your signature!! I feel the same exact way!!

Great info!! Thanks!

Thanks for all the info, Nikole!! Everyone has been so helpful!!

Thanks! I'll go to the website this evening!

Hi Kim, I do not know what my bodyfat % is. What do you suggest in the meantime until I can get my bodyfat tested? Before I read your response, I went in and changed my macros to 25/25/50 (c/p/f). I usually lift heavy 3 days a week at the gym and 1-2 days of Zumba.

I'm not sure if I'm eating enough fat or not. My macros are set at 35/35/30 (c/p/f). What do you suggest? I'm new at this. :-)

Thanks so much for the tips! Although, I do not have the book yet, I am doing more of a Primal thing, so I will work with under 100g to start. I have gone to Mark's daily apple and also getting tips from here. I do need to get the book though because it seems like something I could live with long term. Thanks again!

I hope everything goes well with your MRI today!!!! By the way, congrats on hitting the 140s!!!

Hi everyone!! So I am trying to go low carb. I have been doing this all week. Initially, I was doing under 80 grams of carbs and I didn't have any energy and couldn't even get the energy up to go to the gym. Then I tried doing no more than 100g. Do you all think this is a good start or should I go lower and just deal with…

I am itchy too!!! lol

Hi everyone! I would like to join the challenge if not too late. I am trying out low carb. Trying to stay under 100 carbs a day.

There are varying arguments on the sugar in fruit. I personally think one can overdo it with sugar in fruit. Actually sugar in anything. I do not believe your body knows the difference between the sugar in fruit/milk and candy. Therefore, I am beginning to limit my sugar intake. I have never been a juice drinker, so I only…

Feel free to add me as well! We all need extra encouragement. Me included. :-)

Feel free to add me as well. :-)

Mine are 35/35/30-c/p/f

I agree with Tonya. The author states that you should go with the predicted maintenance level for a month. After that, you have to see what your body does, and adjust accordingly. You are small and short, so I would say that you need to cut your calories down a bit. I would start with the 300 as Tonya stated. Try that for…

Love it!!

I wanna be like you when I grow up!!! Two sets of 20!! Oh my! I am still doing my pushups on an incline. I actually sit the Oly bar on the squat rack right at chest level. I have a hard time doing them with my arms close to my body oppose to letting them bow out to the sides. It's looking like it will be awhile before I…

I am with you, too!! I am so happy that on my next w/o, I will be on 8 reps!! Whoo Hoo!!!!!

Hi everyone!! Welcome to all the new ladies! I'm sure you will enjoy NRLW as much as we all do! Tonya, so sorry to hear about your shoulder. I hope you heal quickly! Just take it easy and listen to your body! Kensky, you go girl on the planks!!!! Ashley, Happy six month anniversary!!!! I am ready to move on to stage 2. I…

I'm a WW convert too! Welcome!

I am so glad that I went to the gym today!!! It was a really good workout and I made sure to pay attention to my form and lowered the weights on my deadlifts by 5 lbs. I also did a warm up set on my deadlifts, which I had not done before. My back felt pretty good! Yea! Then I did 15 mins of intervals on the treadmill after…

Thanks to Tonya's motivation, I'm heading out to the gym for 1B5 (Stage 1 workout B, #5). Ya'll like the short version?!?! I got it from the WW forum for NRLW before I came here. lol! I'll let you all know how it went when I get back. I'm going to lower my weights a little on the deadlifts and the lat pulldown and see how…
