Same here. Just purchased mine yesterday and should receive it by Wednesday. I've done them all with the exception of Beachbody products. Just never wanted to shell out that kind of money. I have done NROL, Strong Lifts, Drop 2 Sizes, Rachel Cosgrove, and Strong Curves. I have not lost inches, weight but have gained muscle…

Got it done! This was my last Workout B for week 4 of the advanced. Looking forward to weeks 5-8. I think I will take a one week break to prepare my mind, which workouts I will need to substitute, get my log sheets in order and see what happens if I do cardio all week (for fat loss). So with that said keep up the good work…

Hello Ladies, I've been reading all the posts here and you are all doing a great job. It's great to have a support system on a program. When I first started this, I really didn't know what to think -- if I like it, will I stick to it, just another bs book that I've wasted my money on. Yes, I know a cynical attitude but I…

Work out B today for me. This is my second week and it was hard to get motivated but I forced myself up at 5:30 and got it done. I know you guys are doing hip thrusts and bridges with the barbell, but I can tell you for me doing those shoulder-elevated single-leg hip thrusts are no joke. This is my second week doing them…

Good job ladies with the thrusting. I decided not to do the barbell thrusts. I have plenty of rear (my excuse for the time consuming maneuvering of the barbell in my small workout room) so I am not really that concerned in increasing the size but to make it firmer, I am all in. But when I tell you that the elevated single…

No, mine is not written anywhere. Maybe they came out with another edition because of all the complaints. I just take the time a few nights before to write the page number on the log sheet. I understand what you mean about the time consuming hip thrust. That is why I have chosen to use some of the other alternatives. I…

I completed Phase I and 2 and will come back to Phase 3. I wanted to try something different so I am now doing Strong Curves. I plan on coming back to Phase 3 of D2S after I've done 2 months of Strong Curves. I get bored easily after a couple months and have to switch things up. I do love D2S, just need to change up a bit.…

Good morning, ladies. Started from the beginning the advanced program. Switched some things up. Here is what I did or changed: Tuesday, Workout A A1 Barbell Glute Bridge: Don't like those, don't need bigger glutes (thank God) so did Single-elevated hip thrust 3x 10/15/15 per side. It is still a good burn so I'm pleased…

Okay, I've got the book and I think I will give it a try. Starting tomorrow, Friday the 27th.

Just saw this thread, but I'm in cause I gotta do something. SW 153 CW 153 GW 140 12/8 153 I'll post on the 15th so wish me luck.

Amen. You took the words out of my mouth. I stopped the emails too. I can get all I need from those who know and experience the female version right here on this forum.

Dani, I feel you. Menopause...uugggghhhh!!!!! I don't mind the flashes but the weight that won't budge is killing me. But I'll keep riding this horse until I get it right. And when I do, I'll shout it from the mountain top.

Now, I'm not yay or nay of Almased. But that FDA warning -- really! The same FDA that deems so many other toxins "in small quantities is safe" for human consumption. Give me a break. The FDA's word is not gold to me. We all have choices and there are so many ways to check them out. Some true, many not true but it is up to…

Good point.

Amen Sister.

I hope someone does. But if not, the fb group is great.

Sorry, it's Drop 2 Sizes and the fb page is called Drop 2 Sizes by Rachel cosgrove.

Lady, when you said "at my age" I had to take a peek at your profile. WOW!!! You are inspiring.

If you like NROL4W, you'll like this one. I was debating between D2S and Strong Curves. D2S won me over because there is a dvd also. I am a visual person and seem to stick with dvds more than trying to count my reps or the pace of my reps or how long my rest is between sets. I am easily distracted and going along with a…

Thank you ladies for all your kind words. I will stick around and let you all know of my progress. Happy lifting.:flowerforyou:

Bought the Strong Curves book too but Down Two Sizes won out since there was a dvd. Hope to hear about your progress. I did join the SC group on fb.

Thanks Dani, I will probably do that. I love this group. Not once have I encountered mean or negative feedback.

I have joined the fb group. Wow, week 6. I am soo loving this program. I am on Phase 1 Strength 2 as of yesterday which was my second day. Thank you for sharing. I have done the NROL, NROL4W, NROL4A and NROL4L and have never finished any of them. I do like them it's just...I don't know, just wasn't feeling it or got burned…

Stronglifts 5x5 for women is the name of the group.

I agree Stronglifts 5x5 is the way to go IMHO. There is a group here on MFP if you want to check it out which would probably answer all of your questions. I have the book Starting Strength and found it to be very detailed and great...if you're a physicist. I just think it would discourage a beginner unless you can…

I have the book and the dvd's. It takes the guesswork out of it for me. I am on Phase 1 Strength 2. So far I'm loving it. There are challenges but so worth it. I have done all the NROL series with the exception of Supercharged and if they would have had a dvd with them I probably would have finished those programs. I do…

Just started. Rachel is married to Alwyn, the guy who helped write some of the NROL books.

Optimum Nutrition has a Natural Whey. Doesn't say nonGMO but doesn't have artificial colors, flavors or sweetners. Thank you all for the responses.

The title was "NonGMO". GMO = Genetically Modified Organism. Hormones and antibiotics do not genetically modify the cow. Any dairy products you consume - unless you specifically source dairy that does not use hormones and antibiotics - is going to potentially contain traces amounts of these compounds in the milk. Or in the…

I am not using protein for all meal replacements. Some days I have one for breakfast and after working out. I'm just trying to cut out as much of the chemicals in my diet as mentioned before as possible. It seems most protein powders have plenty of artificial ingredients in them. The few times of week I do have a couple of…
