yay! I've been jealous, too! lol

I'm on Week 2 of Stage 1, and I've had to bump up my weights, too, especially the DL. I'll go up on that one again tomorrow (started with 35lbs, went up to 45, and tomorrow I'm going to try 55lbs). Did I read somewhere that you should be able to do a similar amount for DL and something else (Squats, maybe?)? Does anybody remember that? If so, I need to really bump up DL cause I squatted 75lbs on Monday (and was proud!).

I'm struggling with eating more (and eating enough good stuff) and with getting enough protein. We don't really eat eggs or beans here, so that's been a little tricky. Otherwise, I'm feeling great. I'm lovin' this plan and the way I feel about myself. Just after the first week of this, I'm down 4.5 inches. I was up a little in weight this week, but it's also just before TTOM, etc., so who knows. At any rate, the inches part is more important to me anyway.

Thanks for getting this thread started, Kim!!
