New Rules of Weight lifting for Women
Ok....anyone starting this book soon? I just purchased it from Ebay a couple minutes ago and would love to share in the process once I get it. I normally lift with my husband, but now that we've had schedule changes I'll be lifting alone. So I got the book! I'm excited to try it!

HELP!
I've been eating at TDEE for about 6-8 weeks and all I am doing is maintaining. I'm not losing anything. Not sure if maybe I need to adjust something? Any thoughts?

Loving Lifting
I've been lifting weight with my husband about 5 days a week since last week and I am loving how my body feels! I feel weird not doing cardio as much though. How much cardio are most of you doing? I am just curious for those lifters, what a typical workout week looks like for you.
-
Cardio
How much Cardio are you doing and what type? I'm trying to change things up a little and not sure how to adjust my cardio. I do a class on M and W, that only burn about 250-300 calories per 45 min class. I'm thinking I should be burning more than that for my cardio. Any thoughts? I'm also adding in more strength training…

Up FOUR pounds this week!
I finally got back on track after Easter. Back to my workouts, back to "eating more" and tracking it all, and stopped drinking pop with the exception of lunch yesterday. I've been drinking WAY more water as well. I'm thinking this is my GAIN week, and then hopefully next week I see a drop off. Trying to be positive. Could…

Nervous about my fitness changes!
Last night my husband started training me for my strength training sessions. I am used to focusing mainly on cardio, so not doing any cardio yesterday just felt weird. I totally got my heart rate up doing it, but it was just a new feeling that I am not totally used to. During bootcamp we do a lot with body weight…

Planks
We do a TON of plank work in the classes I take. I feel like my arms get more sore than my abs. Of course, I still feel the burn in my abs, but I swear my arms kill me more. Normal? Or do I have poor form?
-
Whew!
I think I finally realized that I was overthinking the whole "eating more to weigh less" concept! It finally clicked for me today. I upped my calories to a little over 1800 from 1200 and ready to rock it. Excited to see if my progress changes.

Food scale
Any recommendations on a food scale? I am thinking I need to get one to better measure my food and recipes. Thanks!
-
Guidance please!
I am just starting to learn about this eating more to lose more business. I've been doing 1200, burning a ton, and then eating back. I am not losing, breaking out all over, and very tired. So I knew something was up. After research on here and talking with some of you doing it awhile, I am realizing I need to eat more.…

How long before I lose weight instead of build muscle?
Everyone keeps telling me that due to my workouts, that right now I am building muscle instead of losing weight. But, I am not at a healthy weight right now. It would be different if I were close to goal, but I am not anywhere near my goal of 130-135. I've been hardcore at this for about 6 weeks now, have lost 3 lbs, and…

I guess something needs to change!
I've been working my @ss off at the gym. Honestly I can say that. I see everyone else on here working out, some less than me, and they are dropping weight every week, while I'll sit here fluctuating between 156-159. I'm so aggravated! After taking a look at my food diaries, I see that even though I am eating 1200 calories,…

I think my booty is lifting!
The other day I put a pair of my jeans on and they felt totally different around my butt. Make sense? Like they were filling the butt different from possibly lifting and losing the under the butt sag? Either way, it felt great! LOL

Help resetting NB HRM
I cannot figure out how to personalize my hrm to make sure it is accurate with my calorie burn. I lost my manual. It's the New Balance HRT Komen. I can't find the correct manual online and their customer service number only has a voicemail. Any help?

Is this normal?
I've been doing MFP for the last 35 days. I've lost 5 inches total from my midsection. I feel strong and better in general, but have only lost 4 lbs. Then I'll gain one of two per day and fluctuate depending on the day. I am not at a weight where I am close to maintaining or even at my healthy range. I am currently 156-159…

HRM
I am sure there is probably a topic on here somewhere in reference to these, but I am trying to figure out the most accurate way to log my calories burned. It seems like a huge difference between what the machines say and what MFP says.
-
Arms
Any suggestions for a good arm routine for women? I am looking to tone and get a little definition. I've got my legs and cardio routine down to a science, but struggling with the arms. I only do arms when incorporated in my cardio classes.

Lunches
HELP! I need healthy lunch ideas. I'm finding that my smart ones and lean cuisines are packed with entirely too many carbs and put we way over for the day most of the time. And I'd rather have something a little more satisfying. I have the ability to go home for lunch, so thats nice. What are you quick, go to lunches?

Hey everyone! I'm Rachael!
I've been doing MFP faithfully for the last 3 weeks or so. I am loving this site and everything it has to offer. I keep seeing blurbs about how everyone earns so much more from the site through the community, so I am putting myself out there and seeing how this helps as well. I'm 29, turning 30 in July. I'm an Air Force…
