MaureenModeratorServings say 6, but that could be 2 or 3 muffins per serving. How many muffins does it make is different than servings.
So if it makes 12 muffins for you….then it would be 2 muffins = 1 serving. Sometimes how we pour it might give us more than maybe someone else.
MaureenModeratorWhat is the change?
Salmon should be FP.
MaureenModeratorOOPS! Sorry, I just read recipe thoroughly. Spinach is not cooked. I wish I could delete this post…sorry!
Youre good 🙂
MaureenModeratorAnyone have a recommendation for a brand of marinara that has less then 3g fat and carbs less than 10g?
Not a specific brand. You might just have to look in the grocery…you will prob find it real quick.
MaureenModeratorHas anyone ever used brown rice pasta before? If so, thoughts on how it tastes. Is it easy to find in most grocery stores and is it usually pricey? I have never heard of it until now.
I have…I like it. texture is a bit different but it wasn’t something I disliked.
MaureenModeratorNot just videos. Also if I’m in the grocery store and I’m looking at my meal plan then want to go to the recipes or exchange list… I’m wondering if there’s a way to go from page to page without scrolling through ebook. if not that’s fine. Just thought I’d check to see if there was a way.
Yea when I open mine on the phone I have 3 dots in the upper right and I can put in a page number. Not sure if yours is the same.
MaureenModeratorGo with your height if both height and weight don’t fit in the same meal plan.
MaureenModeratorI always mess up on the ebook in my phone. I’ve saved it. I can open it and go right to the workouts and such…but to get back say like from page 30 to page 2 …. always messes with me. On the computer it’s simple to just type in the page number. Please help and thanks!
Inthink what you are talking about is when you save it to your files on your phone. You can view videos and then go back where you left off.
MaureenModeratorI sent a message to get that changed
MaureenModeratorHi ladies,
I had carpal tunnel release on my dominate hand Wednesday, so for at least the next two weeks no lifting anything more than 5 lbs. It will be all body weight or light bands. That being said when it comes to push ups, renegade rows, burpees, etc.; what can I replace those with?
Hi there. If by ou can’t grip anything that would be super hard to replace same with presses. Burpees you could just do high knees or butt kicks something like that
MaureenModeratorThank you for these challenges. The meal plans, the workouts and all the support really helps me stay focused and committed to trying my best to live a healthy lifestyle!
That’s awesome! Keep working hard 🙂
MaureenModeratorNichole said that since this challenge wasn’t that long and the two workouts were very similar she really just wanted people to keep their interest for the entire challenge so that’s why she opted to alternating. If it was a longer challenge, she probably would’ve stuck with one workout for a number of weeks and then switched to another phase because likely those workouts would’ve been different and yield a different results. I hope that makes sense.
MaureenModeratorI would keep going with this one until you feel like you aren’t progressing as much from a strength training standpoint. My guess is there won’t be any further discounts but you never know.
MaureenModeratorLet me get Nicoles reasoning cuz she wrote it. Hang tight.
MaureenModeratorI just want to say thank you to Nicole, the team, and all of the people on the Facebook community page! This has been an awesome challenge! I am very grateful for everyone’s support and inspiration. We’re at the finish line of this challenge and I know after it ends we can continue to inspire each other to reach our goals and hold each other accountable! Cheers to leveling Up!
Love this!!! Keep working hard. Im so happy this was a good one for you.

MaureenModeratorHi, just getting to the recovery videos and noticed that a couple of them are duplicates. The hip series should have a TFL video as well as the inner thigh but it’s the same video of the TFL. Same with the low back/glutes series, the videos are the hamstring video repeated.
Hi,
Let me check this out with Nicole. I do see what you are seeing. Thanks.
MaureenModeratorNow that the challenge is almost over and I’m now asking this question, in the past, a video link was provided so that we could review how the workout was done. Why was a link not provided for this challenge to each exercise? Thanks
If you watch the follow along there are time stamps where you can see how to do the exercise.
MaureenModeratorLooks like Nicole gave you the answer in the FB group.
MaureenModeratorI forgot to pick up a butternut squash, I definitely can, BUT I have sweet potatoes, could I use that as an exchange for the recipe or no?
I don’t know what the amount would be compared to the squash. If you want to plug the recipe in to see the totals you can. When we are talking a recipe, it harder to give advice on how to exchange. I do know 1 cup of squash has 60 cals with 16g of carbs compared to 1 cup sweet pot has 180 cals and 41g carbs so not an even swap for the recipe.
MaureenModerator300g of butternut squash has the same amount of carbs as 113 g of sweet potato. 113÷300=approx 38%, so to make sweet potatoes fit the recipe you’d have to use 38% of the measurement given. The recipe calls for 1 cup of squash, so you should be able to use just over 1/3 cup of sweet potatoes and have it be equivalent.
Nice! Quite the numbers there lol. Good work.
MaureenModeratorI’m planning to do long hikes on Sundays. I will typically burn 500- 900 calories or way more. Do I stick with my current meal plan, or do I need to nibble on a few extra calories? I know last week I was very hungry on Monday, so am wondering what is best.
You can maybe just try doing like a protein shake so protein and a piece of fruit that might just help replenish what you’re using on the hike and then just compare it to see how you feel. I don’t think you wanna go in add a bunch of food, but you can be deliberate as to trying to just replenish what you might possibly burn but also depends on what your goals are to you know?

MaureenModeratorI’m working on progressive overload each workout. If I don’t reach failure even after increasing weight on the last set, should I add one more set to reach failure?
I wouldn’t I would just note that for the next time. You will start to be able to feel after a few reps whether you need to increase before doing all of the prescribed reps. It comes with practice and learning your body. Guess you are stronger than you think!
MaureenModeratorI have one suggestion for the workout tracker – I wish it was blocked off so you could see what exercises are supersets/trisets/etc instead of them all listed one by one. That way I dont have to look at two separate pages to do my workout. I find it’s still easier for me to print the actual workout with wide margins and record my weights on the side. Hopefully something to consider for future challenges! 😊 I’m glad a tracker was reintroduced though – I remember old challenges having designated space to record your weights and it was so helpful!
Thanks for the feedback.
MaureenModeratorTry my fitness pal but make sure that the macros match because some foods someone can just input whatever they want so you have to have some knowledge.
