I am taking myself off of NROL4W challenge
Yep, I found myself needing to do a different thing now...Don't we all from time to time. NROL4W worked magic for me. Now for my 'cutting' phase I'll be following a different protocol, so can't in all fairness keep writing 'NROL4W day such-and-such' in my blog.
I do not...I repeat...I DO NOT intend to leave the jpfitness board, for it has been a wealth of knowledge and support to me. I wanna keep giving back. So yell at me any time 
You ladies ROCK!!!!

Uh.... Okay but you are going to still be in THE challenge right? I mean I never thought that NROL4W was a good option for a person doing serious type of body shaping such as I want to do and what you are doing as well. That is why I never started it. It seems like you feel the same way now. I don't think it possible to cut like we want to cut and follow that book. So you aren't following the book... I say, "who cares?" We want to keep ya in the challenge for sure....

I thought it was just a 6 month challenge not a NROL4W challenge anyway? Goodluck with your goals. And please do stick around. I enjoy reading your posts.

that's true. perfectly OK to change plans, goals, whatever. The threads just happen to be running in the NROL4W subforum because so many new people joined and didn't know their way around JPs.

I am not in the challenge (started later), yet you have been an inspiration to me to start the program and continue on. So thank you for that. I'm glad to hear that you are continuing with training still and look forward to reading about your progress. Go get 'em!

If MsJane says "I can't"...I guess I can't 
Seriously though...I don't know what I was thinking. I thought if I switched to a different program I wouldn't qualify for the $1,000 of the winning dough ...or was it $20.00 USD?
I guess I am still in...just doing a different program to achieve my goals of going sub 10% bodyfat (for a short time).
And Mel, I feel your pain

Glad you are sticking with the challenge. You are a great bench mark for me. I find it interesting that we are both adjusting things at the same time. It's a strange phase to be in, so I'm glad to have someone to identify with and very glad you'll be staying in the challenge.

I'm curious as to what you guys find insufficient about NROL4W for cutting and serious shaping. Is it the workout, diet, both? If the workout, in what sense? Unfortunately, I cannot access the link with your new workout (work restrictions apparently ban the site). Thanks.

yeah, the guys blog has a couple of strong words, but that's abou it. I hope you get a chance to look at it at home. They also have links to Ultimate Diet 2.0 by Lyle McDonald (I am using it right now).
As far as NROL4W....you are not going to get really lean with the diet provided. To get really cut one needs to REALLY fine-tune calories and nutrients..down to a gram.
