Hi Jess

I'm in the same situation as you...no drastic changes in the past 4-5 weeks, but the weight lifting is going up in poundage.

I also don't think I have that much to lose (although women always seem to have 5-10 pounds to lose

and I considered cutting some calories as well, but after thinking it over, I decided not to.

I'm choosing to make a better effort and getting enough protein instead, which can be challenging for me.

I also think this type of program is a patience game. I think the results come in small increments and it takes time for them to show up in the mirror.

When I needed to lose a lot of weight, the results where easier to see when I started working out, watching my diet etc....5 - 8 lbs a month, is easier to see on your body than 1lb in 4 weeks, or 1/2 inch on your waist...which is approx the result I've had since starting NROL4W.

For me anyway, I have to work on changing my minding on this....I won't see big results in weight loss since I don't really have that much to lose. I need to focus on strengh, muscle mass, some fat loss, and I think these results come slower.

So patience is primordial in this game I think. Good luck and keep us posted.
