Moving from the machines to free weights
Okay, so I know I need to make the move from the machines to free weights. Before I joined my gym, I was doing NROLFW at home but I got nervous about increasing my weights without some kind of training or supervision to ensure my form was correct. So I went down to my local gym and signed up, thinking I could get some help…

Help me plan my lunch!
I am just about to take my lunch break and I am feeling famished. I know that my planned lunch of greens with tuna won't cut it. Any suggestions about what I could add to help fill the gap? I'm thinking something high in protein, since that will likely keep me full longest, and will keep my closest to my macros. Thoughts?…

Compliment or not?
The following happened to me at work today. Do you think I was paid a compliment or not? Coworker: Michelle, when I saw you standing over there talking to Joe, I totally thought you were Jennifer!

NROL4W - Can an absolute newbie to lifting do it?
Hi all. So I am pretty much a newbie to any kind of lifting. I have done some mucking about with dumbells in other workouts, but nothing heavy, and never with a barbel. I have been reading about NROL4W and my interest is piqued. I have looked at the groups on this site for guidance as to whether it's right for me, but…

Is running worth it at this point?
So I've been reading some of the awesome posts that folks have been making encouraging newbies to running. It's all good stuff. Recently I told myself that running wasn't for me. Each time that I have tried to run (and I have tried a learn to run clinic as well as a beginner C25K type program) I haven't enjoyed it. At all.…
