How to log Kettlebell Workout?
How do y'all log kettlebell workouts? Do you count it as weight training or circuit training or as something else? it's kind of in the middle for me, less cardio than a "cardio" workout, but more cardio than just plain weight training.

Looking for pregnant friends!
I'm 10 weeks, due May 21. I've been in "survival mode" the last 4 weeks, just trying to stay alive as far as food goes. Thankfully, not too much throwing up... just lots of nausea and food aversion. I'd love to make some pregnant friends on MFP! It'll be nice to have someone to talk/relate to, sometimes my husband just…

i'm burnt out on tracking
does anyone else feel this way? i'm so sick of tracking everything and being so anal about every last detail of every single thing i eat or drink. i'm very heavily considering not tracking anymore. i'm about 6 weeks away from a year of steady logging. i'm just sick of it. i feel like over these past months i've gotten a…

this sucks and i can't take it anymore
so, my protein powder makes me have gas. not just regular gas. we're talking STINKY gas. :embarassed: i can't handle it anymore. i usually have HALF a scoop in the morning after my workout. i might mix it with milk to just drink, or throw it in with my oatmeal or something. does anyone have any suggestions or ideas as to…

Shoes??
i've seen a lot of posting on the NROL4W facebook page about wearing flat shoes for lifting. can anyone give me any insight as to why wearing flat shoes (like converse) is more beneficial for lifting? i already have a pair of chucks, but i have yet to try them out for the gym.

Stage 1 Results - no huge changes, but loving it!
So I finished Stage 1 on June 7 and had my rest week. I've started Stage 2 this week and I thought I'd post some of my progress pictures (although they look pretty much the same to me) and strength results. I love the program and lifting is so much more interesting than cardio, but getting up at 5 AM is so hard! I'm…

How long does stage 2 take you?
I am starting stage 2 this evening. I normally do my workouts in the morning, but I like to give myself extra time the first time I do a set of lifts so that I can work on just figuring things out, as well as form. I've heard that stage 2 workouts are a lot longer than stage 1. How long does it take you to do a stage 2…

Is it safe...
to lift weights while pregnant? i'm not pregnant at the moment, but hope to be someday in the future. i'm loving weight lifting and the results i'm getting, and i'd love to keep it up. anyone have any experience with this? i've heard mainly that you shouldn't do heavy lifting, but i've seen a few opinions that say you can…

totally intimidated and feeling pathetic
so, i went to the gym, did my warm up, circled around the weights like an idiot for a few minutes, and then just went home. it was soooooo crowded and i felt really intimidated. i have really been enjoying the workouts thus far and i was pretty excited to go, and i've been making improvements. i don't know why, i just all…

anyone else think the jackknife exercise is weird?
i just did day 1 yesterday, my husband helped me make sure my form and positioning and everything was correct. everything went really well, but we had a hard time with the last exercise, the jackknife one. it seemed very awkward and difficult to even do one. how does the woman in the picture get her butt up in the air like…

How many calories do you eat?
After reading the book, I realized I needed to be eating more. It's crazy how it's so tough to get your mind wrapped around it after we've been told over and over to eat less. I've recently upped my calories and also started paying way more attention to my macros. How many calories do you typically eat while on NROL4W? I…

i have HBS and i need encouragement
normally i do really well with regular exercise and healthy eating. but, once a month, i start getting what i call HBS. that stands for Hungry B**** Syndrome. you can probably imagine what it's like, and you may suffer from something similar yourself... anyways, so the last few days i've been so lazy (not getting up in the…

shopping for shorts NSV
i've lost some weight since last summer, and it's starting to get hot here in central texas, so i decided to go shorts shopping after work today. i've been kinda discouraged lately, i've been unmotivated and haven't been as strict with my eating or my working out. FYI i'm at maintenance calorie wise and i have been doing…
