Hi and welcome to the board.

Okay the fact that your measurements are the same but your weight is up suggests that maybe you replaced with fat with muscle. Lean muscle takes up less space than fat. Did you take pictures before you started Stage 1 of NROL4W? if so would you mind sharing them?

Anne hit it on the head in that Chips and Chocolate are not going to help your diet. And while a little alcohol is okay once in a while, alcohol every night isn't going to help you reach your goals. You are already planning to weigh log your food, I'd suggest weighing it in grams to get a more accurate picture of your food intake.

That being said, you need to decide what you goal is. Do you want to get rid of the fat or do you want to improve your musculature? You haven't said how new you are to lifting weights. But if you are relatively new to lifting you may be in that period where you can improve your physique while losing fat.

That being said and having done Alwyn's Programs... You will not be able to do NROL4W and eat 1500 calories a day. You will bonk and you will eat because you are trying to support the lifting he prescribes in his program. There are several of us on the board who love Alwyn's Programs but they don't particularly like us and they are just too metabolically taxing when you are trying to cut weight. So if you are looking to lose weight, you might want to try another program. If you are looking to improve your physique, you will have to eat to support the lifting in Alwyn's programs.

Can you post examples of your daily diet so we can see what's going on? That way we can provide more feedback on how you might improve your diet so you can better meet your goals.
