Default New to NROLW and forums

Hi, I bought NROL4W about two weeks ago, and I'm starting Stage I today. I found this forum when I came online to download the workout journal.

I've been reading the posts and love the idea of accountability many of you found with your challenge. I wish I had known about the book, much less the challenge in Jan...

So, here's to accoutability for me...

my story: I gained about 15 lbs and lost muscle mass over the last year and a half. Mostly by eating like a HUGE giant fat man (I've always had a big appetite), working out MUCH less than normal (too much food, not enough ways to burn the energy), working long hours and using lunch and dinner as social times; mostly with men whom I would out eat.

My goal:
Drop two pant sizes
Feel comfortable in a bikini, preferably running or being active in said bikini!
Buff up.
Lose the cottage cheese appearance on my thighs and butt

My Plan:
Diet: I don't have the ability to make my own meals, I will be trying to follow the diet as close as possible. I have had success on low carb diets in the past, but have recently felt too tired when going very low carb - hence following the laid out program.
Exercise: As laid out in the book. Will likely add one day a week longer cardio session and eventually triathlon training program

Ok, so that's it. This is my second post ever - I'm not sure that I understand the organization or how to not clutter the forum, but I thought it would be helpful for me to put it out there!

I'll look into the logs for updates and keeping track of progress.

thanks for listening

here goes!

normally i'd just be skill, but this year I'm spending deployed with the military: dorm like living - no cooking appliances or frig for that matter. Cafeteria meals as only option, great salad bar, but lots of fried options - hard to tell how things were prepared etc. We keep asking for chicken breast to be a daily option, but no luck so far.
We don't have real eggs, and pasta seems to be a daily offering. I could go on and on I guess I was whining a little when I mention the limitation... Not an excuse, just weird to have no idea about total cals in some meals they offer. Plus, I'm not a snack/sweet craver, I love to eat full meals, and with an all you can eat buffet every day it could get out of control!

I just received whey protein I ordered and I'll be using that before and after workouts. I bought one that said it would mix well with water. Just got it today, so tomorrow will be the first taste test...

any suggestions for protein brands?
