Hi,

I've been on a weight loss journey since Sept 20, when I joined weight watchers and last week I quit WW after reading NROL-W. This was my first week of completion and I have gained five pounds, but I am trying to not let that little fact stop me. I want to give this a protracted length of time, despite all my fears about giving up cardio and caloric restriction.

Stats 9-22-07
Before WW and cardio
Hight 5'6"
Weight 278
Bust - 56.5"
Waist - 47.75"
Hips - 55"
Left Thigh - 32.5"

1 wk post beginning NROL - W
Weight - 247 (it was 243 :sad: )
Bust - 50.75
Waist - 43
Hips - 53
Left Thigh - 29"
Calf - 17"

Workout A
Squat - oly bar 15x2
Pushups - (3 ft up plank style) 15x2
Row - 90# 15x2
Step ups - 15x2 each leg 30# total weight
swiss ball jack knife - 10x2

Workout B
Deadlift 15x2 oly bar
Dumb bell shoulder press 15x2 15# weights
Lat pull wide 15x2 70#
Lunge - 10x2 no weights (and i was dying! I think because it's having to lift my own bulk)
Swiss ball crunch 15x2 (far too easy. I read about the hands over the head approach with weights, and I am going to try that.)

Completed workout A twice and workout B once. I also did HIIT once

stationary bike
level 12 warm up 10 minutes
level 15 one minute
level 6 two minutes
x 5 sets
level 6 cool down 10 minutes

and post workouts the other two times, I just did level 10 for 15 minutes.

I like that I have a place to log what I do, so i can see an improvement just by scrolling this log. YAY! I'm glad this site exists.
