results of my first month of n.r.o.l.w. and more eating....
Let me say first that I have NEVER LIFTED WEIGHTS IN MY LIFE BEFORE THIS. I am following the calorie guidelines in the book, and eating about 2300 calories a day. I hid the scale and vowed not to be prisoner to it until after one month. My starting weight was 146. I am a couple days shy of a month and have been pretty…

am i overtraining?
I starred new rules of lifting for women about 3 weeks ago, and have been keeping to the books schedule of lifting 3 days a week for about 30-45 minutes. Im doing c25k on alternating days. At first it seemed like the weight lifting was really helping with my runs, but I just failed the FOURTH day of week 8. I've tried…

struggling with week 8
I have run day 1 of week 8 three times this week. I still can't do all 28 minutes without stopping. If I walk a few minutes, I can run and finish all 28. Im thinking I need to take a day off between weight lifting and my running days. I hate to get set back so far into the program, but week 9 is a full 3.1 miles, and I…

Okay, im going to risk the jinx...
Im just over 2 weeks in. Doing n.r.o.l.w. 3x a week and c25k 3x a week. Eating 2000-2300 calories daily. So that's about 30 minutes of exercise a day, and usually my son and I go for stroller walks, but my stroller has been down for a week. I have also been a little over on my calories due to customers bringing goodies…

raising your metabolism a myth? huh?
I was on a post yesterday where someone said they were hungrier if they ate breakfast in the morning, than if they didn't. I responded that by eating more often, your metabolism gets fired up, which helps with weight loss. I wasn't the only one to reply this. Quite a few people responded by saying that raising your…

husband wants me to GAIN 10lbs!
This is how the conversation went... Me:" Check this out! Im a size 7 now! Do these shorts look okay?" Him: " You would really look better if you put on about 10 pounds. Your legs look scrawny." (My thighs are 21.5" in the middle) Me:"Well you would look better with ripped abs". (Okay, I didn't say it, but I did think it)…

new to this group...help!
Going by nrolw, my non workout calories should be at 2076 and at 2336 on workout days. Subtracting 15% for weight loss would be 1765 and 1986, which I will round up to 1800 and 2000 for ease. My question is....since I workout about 6 days a week, doing couch to 5k and some jillian Michaels videos, should I just eat 2000 a…

completed my first 5k!
I ran in the iron woman 5k in Clearwater on Sunday. It was my first, and I finished in 34:28. That's 3 minutes faster than my practice time! I think I may have been able to go a little faster, but we had to go up this big *kitten* bridge, and most of us walked. I came in 1354th out of 2534! I can't wait for my next one in…

wackos!
I guess I just lost our walking route in my neighborhood. Some creepers just moved in, and apparently have taken me into their sites. I was pushing my son in his stroller and walking my dogs when I hear.someone saying something from a shaded porch to my left. It wasn't very loud, so I figured they were talking to someone…

gyms...expensive or cheaper?
I am looking for some input from you all. I have the option of two different gyms. One I have been to a lot, and loved it. It is however, pricey. Its $42 monthly, or if you buy a year membership, its around $360. The other gym has a couple locations, and I believe has most of the same stuff, pool, sauna, etc. They are…

vitamin questions...
What vitamins and/or supplements do you take? How about something for those of us who "theoretically" don't eat enough veggies? Just wondering what vitamins most of you take.

waging a mental war...
With myself. As far as weight loss and getting in shape I've always been an all-or-nothing gal. I hit the gym so hard that I can barely move for days or I cut my food so much that I always feel hungry. Im trying a new tactic now. Taking baby steps and meeting small goals so that I can change my life in the long run.…

A couple years ago, the christian youth camp nextdoor was having a pedal cart race for the kids. Tons of fun, Prizes, food, and my husband is the "commissioner". :) They had a race for the adult ladies, and I was one Of four that raced. I was in less than athletic shape let's say ;) , but one of the ladies and I got super…

wondering what your ultimate goal is...
Do you just want to lose weight, or be in great shape, or get healthy? Or is there another motivator? Mine is to lose weight and get very strong. I want to learn and ultimately teach equestrian vaulting. Its a HUGE goal, but I will have a couple years to get there before I can start. If you have never seen it, Check it out…
