Half-way through stage 3 and no loss
I'm feeling a bit frustrated. :angry: I have not lost any weight since starting back in July. I lost 1.5 inches around my waist, but nothing around my hips/belly or arms. I also gained 1 inch around each thigh, but this could be because my legs have always been thin. I KNOW I am stronger and I feel more definition, but I'm…

Stage 3- Holy Smokes!
Husband and I did the 3A for the first time yesterday and I am feeling it today. Is it just us, or does it feel like there is a big jump in difficulty between stage 2 and stage 3 (workout A at least)? My HRM said I burned 801 cal. in 90 min!

Can't lose weight when husband is home.
The last two times my husband has deployed, I've lost 20lb and 10lbs, respectively. Everytime he comes home, the weight comes back on. I'm now up 6lbs since he came home in November, 10lbs from my goal weight (which I hit sometime in july). Obviously this is extremely frustrating. I find it harder to track and measure the…

Injury? Take week off or lower weight?
I'm pretty sure I slightly pulled a muscle in my groin (?) from doing squats at 110lbs. I also noticed a pain in my back after doing a 135 deadlift. It wasn't terrible but I couldnt finish even one set of over-head presses because my back would hurt and I didn't want to push it. Both of these happened saturday. I havent…

New to 5x5- weight gain?
I did NROLW over the summer and had some success. I started 5x5 with the husband and we are in the middle of week 4. If I'm honest with myself, I probably weighed in at 166 - 167 (I'm 6ft tall) when we started and am up to 169-170 as of this morning. I haven't been great at tracking lately, but my diet hasn't been horrible…

Jogging issue: pain running barefoot and with sneakers
I'll try to keep this short. I've never been a great runner. Its probably my least favorite thing to do, however, I have a treadmill and its pretty convenient and burns a nice chunk of calories. I had a lot of problems with shin splints in the past until my husband recommended I run barefoot. I never experiences any shin…

1lb from goal but still unhappy with tummy
Feeling a little depressed about my stomach. It's always been a problem area, even more so after having a 10lbs baby. So I am 1.6lbs away from my goal of 160 (I'm 6ft ). Its the same weight I was when we got married, but things are definitely different post-baby. I've read over and over again that you cant spot reduce,…

exercise NSV (and a small sv as well)
Today I finished Stage 1 of NROLW. Stage 1 is approximately 6 weeks longs and I think I finished at right around 6.5 weeks. The victory? This is the longest I've ever stuck to an exercise program as long as I can remember. Especially since I work, and a Law Student, and a mom to a very busy almost 2 year old and my husband…

lifting and gaining?
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I am not a big fan on how the search function lay's out the results. I'm about 4 weeks into the New Rules of Lifting for Women (Did stage 1 workout 5 yesterday). I've been doing well with tracking my food. There have been day's where I've gone over, but per the book, you are…

New(ish)
Hey! So I had an account last summer at some point but I'm back after canceling my WW account. So a little history- I got pregnant back in 09 after losing our first son to SIDS. My pregnancy was not very easy and I wound up losing weight the first few months due to hyperemises. After I got that under control I regained…
