About me: I've been doing NROL4W for a month now, and I'm starting a log to keep me motivated and accountable. I weigh 140 lbs (5'4") and my goal is to lose about 10 lbs of fat with the program. I've been on the heavy side most of my life, pushing 200 at one point. I lost a large chunk of weight by improving my diet and sticking to a cardio routine.
Around a year and a half ago, I discovered lifting. At first I didn't enjoy it, but I liked what it did to my body. It has grown on me. I don't love it, but I do enjoy being the only person, male of female, using the squat rack in my gym.
My biggest challenge is food. I enjoy cooking and bring healthy snacks to work, but find it hard to resist the stacks of gourmet cookies at work, creamy pasta in restaurants, deep fried carb deliciousness at family gatherings, and lonesome visits to cold stone. I also have no tolerance for hunger, and most of my previous attempts at calorie restriction have ended in frustrated overeating. So I'm going for slow and steady here.
