I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! LOL Hiya Ladies!!! After another un-planned break I FINALLY finished Stage 3 and moved onto 4!!! YIPPPEEEE - I'm really not a fan of 3... LOVE 4!!! I hear ya about the length of the workouts - I cut my rest to 1 min (I know we're not supposed to)... but really - I just don't have 1&1/2-2 hours to…

It's just all... messed up!! It doesn't distinguish "quotes" anymore... so it looks as if anything you quote - you are actually saying! Also - on my home page - there is no "chunks" of quotes and comments... just a big long list of comments so you can't acutally see the conversation threads... and then spacing of stuff is…

It's a separate group. There is a thread for each Stage, etc. A great, great support forum! Here it is: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/119-new-rules-of-lifting-for-women-nrol4w- And don't worry about "lifting heavy." Start where you are and increase the next time. You'll get to "heavy" or you won't... either way…

@Beeps... is it too late to weigh in? I like Jessica's suggestion of a "filler" weight training week - mix and match your favs... or do a couple extra lifts from the Stage you are at... @Lozze - fingers crossed that fixes the problem!! If not - is it possible your knees are going too far forward? That's what was causing my…

You are SO right! The other day in my yoga class I was able to do a move that I have been wanting to do for YEARS!! Credit to those arm strengtheners and planks for sure!!! I think back to where I started with my HIIT and the progress I've made there... It's so much more than just numbers on a scale (down 5) and numbers on…

PB = Icing Sugar unless you get Organic, nothing but nuts PB. Be really careful & read the label... if it's your treat - sure whatever... but I've heard of people claiming PB as a protein source... yikes. :)

Join us on the "NROL4W" forum if you're doing the program! TONS of support and answers re the program there!!! :flowerforyou:

:laugh: OMG funny! Love it! @MissMaggie - YAY! That's awesome!!! I've never heard of more protein = water retention... but I guess it would depend on the type of protein you are eating... ie - is there a lot of sodium in with the protein? I TOTALLY agree that the workouts are getting a bit out of hand... 2 hours in the gym…

TOO funny!!!! I work in the military too - and I have to say - most of the time the guys are really respectful and give me my space when I'm in the weight room... it was just that one day. They were fire-fighters... need I say more? In retrospect I realized it was because I was kicking their *kitten* with my HARD CORE…

I eat Primal. So - no grains, no sugar. I eat a lot of protein - about 100g a day. The rest of my macro's fall where they may... but I try and keep carbs under 100g. Example of my eating: Breakfast - Paleo Meatballs and Salsa (yes, I know it's weird... but they're so good and easy to get ready the night before to grab on…

My doctor was talking to me about Melatonin for insomnia... not sure if you have tried it - but it is natural and supposedly works great. Sorry to hear you are having such trouble. I used to do shift work. It is SO hard on your body! I peeked at your food journal - and I doubt that your run down feeling is food related. I…

My NSV: The other day my little girl (she's 2 &1/2) was playing "Mommy" to her doll. She said to my son: "Ok. I the Mommy. I need to go do exercise. You watch my baby so I can go exercise." and then she "jogged" a couple of laps around the house. LOL. Yay for being a positive roll model!!!!!!!!

Yup. Men are all about thier bench presses. LOL! Check this link - great write up about bench presses! http://scoobysworkshop.com/presses/ I'm at 20s for the press too! I was thinking I might try and push it up to 25s next time because I was doing sets of 10 (6 didn't feel enough)... EMC - I can see how you could get…

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I would bow at the feet of anybody who has the energy to do more after the BWM... it kicks my butt!!! Some improvement today (hooray!) Down to 3:13 from 3:40... phew! Jen - I think you are right about putting a complaint in. Those guys that made the comments weren't there today - but if it happens again...…

So.... I just got back from doing my first 3B... I wasn't terribly impressed with it. The YTWLs are tough... but other then that I wasn't too excited. That - and for the first time there were some seriously rude men in the weight room/cardio room... In the weight room: "this is a man's room!" In the cardio room (on an…

OMG you ladies are amazing!!! I did the BWM in 3:40!!! OUCH! (here's where my ego puts in the disclaimer... I was off for a month due to injuries between Phase 2 & 3... yah, that's totally gotta be the reason!!! LOL!) Seriously! I am in awe!!! Yes - Hot Bath!! Feeling SOO much better today... off to do my first 3B! Say…

I recently cut out "grains" (versus carbs) so I follow the Primal Blueprint style of eating... it's been really helpful in dropping the last 8 lbs... I know it's a hard change for some people - for me it felt like a natural next step. I tried going full Paleo (no grains, no sugar, no dairy) but that was too restrictive and…

HUGS! I wish I had an answer for you... Hugs hugs hugs!

You're right - it is SO liberating!!!!

Thanks for your support guys! Even though I have a much healthier relationship with food now... I still feel that GUILT that comes with eating the "bad" food... your comments really helped though! Ummm, chocolate covered pretzels? YUMMMMM!!! And this is why MFP is so wonderful! :heart:

Nerd Fitness ROCKS!!!

Check out the Nerd Fitness website. He has a LOT of info and different body weight routines to follow. Great website!

Get the book "New Rules of Lifting For Women." It's ALL in there - diet, routine, weight loss. And no - you won't look like a body builder unless you want to and take massive amounts of steroids! :)

I lift... and I'm working up to lifting heavy! :) I was also stuck in the 1200 calorie + chronic cardio horrible cycle.... but now I do New Rules of Lifting For Women... LOVE the program. I also eat Primal now... Feel free to friend me if you want - but I don't necessarily log calories every day... I log about 2x a month…
