Reading Maxx and GardenGirl's posts have inspired me to take the plunge into this program. Yet I see I'm having the same issue Miss Jane had in that I ordered but no instant access. I am confident that this will work out well without much wait time on my end.

Miss Jane, how long was your wait before you received access to the program? The website doesn't even recognize my email address when I ask for my forgotten password, yet my confirmation of the purchase came through fine.

I emailed them via the email address on the confirmation email of your purchase (at the bottom). I heard back within 24 hours, but then they set me up with an incorrect email address, so it took another 24 to straighten that out.

I'm down 2.5 pounds since last Monday and this includes two screw-ups on the diet part of the program. I'm going to take more measurements this weekend because my clothes feel much looser after only 2 weeks so that is good.

VeloGirl,

The same thing happened to me when I purchases the program. I had paid for it but there was no immediate link to download. I emailed Mike Roussell and he sent me the link for the download pretty quick so just hang in there.

Thanks. I guess patience is NOT one of my virtues!

Day 12, scale says I gained a pound, BF% the same. I think it is due to a change-up I made yesterday. I slept in a little and did my workout in the evening instead. I definitely noticed a change in my appetite by doing this--I was a lot less hungry throughout the day by not working out in the AM. I struggled getting outta bed an hour later--I think maybe I am waking up in mid sleep cycle at my usual time of 6. I've been feeling great when getting up at 5am for the workouts.

Today, I slept in till 7 and did my workout around 9. Workouts are getting easier, and I am increasing the poundage. Also, I think I am getting more comfortable subbing in the foods that I like when the menu has something I don't care for. I just hope I don't screw things up by making changes.

AFI82 · 05-23-2008, 12:00 PM

Maxx, are you subbing in food from previous days in the menu, or are you making up your own stuff?

MAXX · 05-23-2008, 12:42 PM

Stuff from previous days......a lot times it is leftovers. I haven't added anything that is not already on the menu. Basically I am just subbing in protein for protein. Although I have used a little more skim milk than the plan calls for--I usually sub it for cottage cheese, or I have a couple swigs after the last snack.

I am down 4.6 pounds so far (day 12). I have gotten into a small pair of pants! I haven't checked my body fat percentage yet. I will do that on Sunday. I don't expect to lose anything over the next couple days. It looks like I will miss 3 of the 6 workouts this week. I am hoping to be able to get in a round of cardio today but I am not hopeful. (Maybe some kettlebells.) I have a convention this weekend that I did not plan to attend but it turned out that I was able to at the last minute. I took lunch with me today and I will take snacks with me tomorrow but my eating will be erratic for a few days! I am going to concentrate on keeping the carbs in check. Hopefully that doesn't set me back too far!!!

I have to say, walking through a convention hall for hours makes me ravenous for carbs!!! I have not had carb cravings at all since starting and I was DYING for a slice of pizza while heading out today!! I'm sure you could almost see the internal debate. Pizza!, No pizza!!!, Pizza! NO pizza!!!!!, PIZZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, NO.PIZZA I settled for a handful of cashews and a diet Dr. Pepper!

don't know how you guys are doing it. I have done two days at the 130 lb template (which is 10 lbs above my weight)and almost passed out during the 2nd workout. Thought I was going to have to take a cab home. Then later in the night got seriously dizzy. have felt awful and not motivation to work out due to fatigue. serious food cravings too. ugh.

MAXX · 05-23-2008, 05:32 PM

Stick with it Lara, it gets easier!!

That is exactly what happens to me on low carb diets. I think I can work my way through it but end result for me has always been weight gain after the diet. Good luck with this and be careful driving or otherwise being out.

What do you think causes the weight gain (other than water)? There's little physiological effects of eating low carb that would trigger fat storage after leaving the low carb diet.

I can lose 5-8lbs going to a low carb diet, so when I stop, I put on 5-8lbs. But a regular (not low carb) diet would not have had the water loss, so I'd still be at the same level the days after the diet was "broken."

If the diet causes days of binging, then I can see some fat storage afterward, of course.

Are you 120 pounds? What is your goal? The plan is for Fat Loss (20#) not gain. I think I am just confused on your goal.

I am eating at 20# under my current weight and I am making it through the workouts - albiet tired and looking for my PWO shake but Im not passing out- that sounds like when I first started NROL without a diet plan.

What were you working on before starting this program?

LT Hebert · 05-23-2008, 06:13 PM

Well, I like what I've seen so far. I started the program on Monday, at 138.8 lbs, and this morning (Friday) I weighed 131.2 lbs. I know some is probably water weight, although the carbs aren't extremely low, but it still feels good to see progress so quickly. And the workouts are kicking my a$$!

Don't know LD, never thought that hard about it. I did it only once and was in misery for a long while but I toughed it through. Then once I stopped the low carb thing I gained back very quickly. Keep in mind that my normal daily carb intake for my 130lb frame is around 150-200g so I am not a carb freak. Just don't feel good if I drop these.

Good start, Michele!
