Thank you. There are artificial flavors. I guess that's just the way it is now.

Maybe I should have said without the chemical additives and fillers, i.e., aspartame, sucralose, modified whatever or enriched whatever. I know they say small amounts is harmless, but what if you consume 2 to 3 protein drinks a day?

Really? Even the cows treated with growth hormones or antibiotics?

Agree.

Wow! Great job ladies. Haven't posted in a while but I have been lurking. I did workout B, #40 today. I have taken a week off here and there and have done a few deloads. I am 5'4 @ 150#s and 54yrs young. Squat 120 lbs OHP 70 lbs DL 140 lbs BP 100 lbs Rows 100 lbs Not sure of my PR. These are just the gains I have made so…

It's called Stronglifts 5x5 for women. So browse groups and you will find it. You will absolutely love it.

Hi Sarah, there is a Stronglifts group. Check out groups. I would link you but I don't know how. It is just for women. I'll come back and give you the name.

So how are you liking the DVD's so far? How long are they?

Just purchased the dvd's. Hope it's worth it. I think what drew me to her is because her method is similar to the NROL's method. Love the book.

Mine too. I just joined the fb page. Hoping to order the book this weekend.

Does the workout incorporate other body parts in the program or is it strictly legs and glutes?

How long are the workouts -- average length? NROLFW got a little too complicated -- not complicated but too many variations. I like stronglifts because it's sweet and simple. Thanks.+

There is a 5x5 group for women. You would probably get more responses. It's pretty active. Best of luck to you.

Agree. Fair.

There is a documentary out there, I don't remember the name but it was admitted that HFCS and other GMO's were intentionally put into foods because they knew that people would become addictive to it and buy more. If I ever find it I will post it or maybe somone can help me out. The FDA needs to take some the responsibility…

You are doing great. I am 54 and it's great to see "mature ladies" lifting heavy. Keep up the good work and friend me if you'd like.

Kirabob, thanks for this. When you say "hold squats and keep progressing" is that to say staying at 100 will still help me burn the fat? Stomach needs work also. But I think increasing my calories was not a good idea. I am 54 and I don't care what some say but it is hard as h#!! to lose this extra weight. I am 5'4 and 150…

Thanks, Lwoodruff. I am heading that way. The deload sounds good to me.

Wow!!! You all have some great numbers. This is such an awesome group. I haven't posted much because I have been busy but I just want to post my progress with a little history. Started the 5x5 April 8 of this year. Took off May 7 - May 19. Just busy wasn't feeling the heavy lifting because it was taking me longer to…

He has DVD's? Gotta find em.

Whew! Glad it wasn't just me. Thanks for all your responses. I do agree it will become a bible for me and I do bypass some of the technical jargon and get right to to the real nitty gritty.

Same here. I deloaded from 100lb squats down to 80 and my husband was great at helping me get my form. He also helped me get correct form on my bench press. First doms since starting this program.

I'll check the hiip circumference in a week. .

@ Kavanavghev Wook at da wittle baby in your pic. Soooo cute. To get back at your response, genetically mine is there no matter what. I just didn't want it to increase with heavier weights. I have been eating the wrong foods so I don't think that has helped much. But will post when some of those pounds come off whether or…

That's funny. I'm not a treadmill person but I was eating more but decided this week to eat at a deficit for a while and see what happens. Thanks all for your responses. I will keep progress reports coming.

Have a great time off and go ahead and get that rest. I took a couple weeks off and had to deload when I started back up but I am back to where I was. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do!

Thank you guys for your response. I think I had been eating more because I was lifting more but I don't want anymore junk in my trunk. I have enough. I will eat at a deficit and see how my energy is.

You all are doing so great. Too many to respond to but I will post my results. I did workout A #13 Monday and workout B 14 today. This is my 5th week but took two weeks off because I just got too busy and the heavier the weight the longer it took so I just did my workout dvd's which I can do in 30 minutes and get a good…

Dani, as for the flashes, it's a process of elimination. I found reducing bread (wheat products) soft drinks (don't do those except when I must have a shot of Crown Royal and can't do it straight I need that Pepsi) sugar and coffee helps me tremendously. I no longer (very seldom) have the night sweats. I do drink coffee…

You guys are doing a great job. I'm just checking in here, it's me the 54 year-old -- I mean 54 year-young. I know there are some older ones but I just love sayng that. Anyway I did Number 12 workout B Monday and I continue to amaze my self. I couldn't have done it without my husband there to push me because I would not…
