NROLFW, Convice me.
Right now I am doing the Jamie Eason 12 week lifting program and have moved into Week 5 which is Phase 2. The first phase was lifting 2-3 days which I could do but now it is up to 5 days a week which I just don't have time for. I have been really happy with the results so far and I know this sounds ridiculous, but I am…

How do you remember to take your vitamins?
I have the best of intentions but 50% of the time I totally forget and I hate that. I need to make sure I take them everyday. I also don't want to leave them sitting out on the counter all the time, I like to keep the counters clear. Thanks!

How not to get ran over on a bike?
I am new to biking and it makes me a nervous wreck riding with traffic. Running never bothers me because I am going against traffic and I can tell if a car sees me or not and if I have to I could jump in the grass. I hate having no idea if a car sees me and feel like I am constantly looking over my shoulder. Tips?…

Will I regress with NROLFW?
I have been lifting heavy the last few months using the Jamie Eason Live Fit program. I like it but I have moved onto stage 2 and it is 5 days of lifting, different groups each day, and I can't get to the gym that much. I LOVE the progress I have made so far and I am scared of switching to NROLFW and losing some of my…

Hflavor banana flavored protein powder?
I want some so bad!! LOL. I heard it tastes like a banana Laffy Taffy (which I LOVE!) I think it would be amazing in yogurt or to make Popcicles. Anyone tried it and loved/hated it? I usually buy Optimum Nutrition brand.

If you have a BMF, stop here
So I just got mine 2 days ago but it has confirmed my suspicions, I burn between 2500-3000 most days when I work out. But I have not been eating nearly that many. I started at 1200 (I know, so bad, but now I know better) and have worked up to 1500-1700 now most days with some more than that. But I just can't reconcile the…

Ok so I am on week 4 of Jamie Eason's program and am liking it so far. I have heard so much about NROLFW and so I bought it but what am I missing??

Protein shakes on rest days?
Sunday is generally my only rest day but there is no way I can hit my protein goal that day without a shake with protein powder, especially since I don't have any exercise calories to eat back. Is it OK to make them on my rest days or are they more just for work out days??

Why do my protein/carbs/fat keep changing??!
This is driving me nuts. I keep setting them where I want them and they keep changing! I guess it changes as the calorie intake changes but it is driving me crazy. How do I make it stay the same?

Running early morning - what to eat?
Several days out of the week I have to get up before work at about 6am to run and I don't ever feel like eating that early. And I wake up, put my shoes on and hit the door. Other days when I have an hour or two before I run I have time and feel like eating breakfast. But the early days I just feel like I am dragging during…
