Hi when I made the Apple cinnamon cups I used a mini muffin pan and i got 16 muffins. The recipe calls for 4 servings 2 per serving so should be 8 muffins in total? Should it be regular size pan or did i mess up lol
Thanks so muchThe recipe is based on the regular muffins. So just double up what you eat since you used mini muffins. No big deal.
Hey! Feel this is a silly question… first workout has anchor move as bench press. You still do those reps even though it’s not your anchor move. Correct? Then continue on til Thursday where dead lift is the anchor move and do your recording then. Right?
Yea, you do all of the exercises. The anchor move that you choose is just a separate thing Nicole is doing to choose winners. But yea, perform the workouts as they are listed. You just have a choice to choose which anchor move you are going to record at the beginning and the end. Not a silly question. Ask away.
Is it picture or video and do we upload to community page for all to see i been checking page and don’t see any uploads yet
Yep. Just go for it. :).
Hello ladies,
So, unfortunately I am still healing, I injured my right arm which is my dominant arm. I broke my Ulnar Styloid. That little bone on the forearm near the wrist. Open to suggestions for upper body exercises. Let me know if you have any questions. I can’t wait until I am healed. Tomorrow I will be 60 so it takes a longer minute to heal. lol But thank God I have been with you ladies for around 5 years strength training. I am sure it would have been worse had I not been working out.
I would just take a look at the entire program and do the exercises you can do. Let yourself heal and ease back into the exercises so you don’t make anything work or injure it again.
Just clicked again and it played! : )
Do you know what the issue was for you?
Hi Guys-
No upload of other photos and measurements? Just chosen anchor move?
Thanks!!KBYep! Choose the one you want to use and improve and that will be the one you upload at the end as well.
Hello again! I’ve tried watching the welcome video and it cuts to the membership page saying article can’t be found. I’m pretty versed in these challenges but would still like to see it. This one is a little different so I don’t want to miss anything! Please advise. Thanks!
Hi there, I just clicked it and it loaded just fine for me. Email [email protected] and they can troubleshoot that for you. Try reloading the page.
Hello! What is the significance of oat flour vs. almond or wheat flour?
Just what it’s made of…..and being gluten free (almond and oat). almond might be a bit higher in protein,low in carbs. They all have their differences.
Do we take pictures each day of the week on the anchor move and then post our why and what we hope to achieve in the 6 weeks?
Or just do one anchor move picture and post our why with progress hopeJust in the beginning of the program and then at the end.
Thank you

Hi there, If that’s to just shake a mixer then go for it. It won’t impact the macros that much.
I cant do bench or overhead press with a bar because of a shoulder issue. Can I video my overhead press with a seated dumbell press and still be able to win a price?
Go for it and let them know that you are working through an injury and this is your work around. I don’t make the decisions on who wins prizes etc. Do what you can do 🙂
For some reason when I save the PDF to my phone, several bubble mark ups appear. However when I view it in chrome browser the mark ups are gone? Not sure if this is something that needs to fixed, I haven’t had this happen with previous challenge PDFs.
Re download the pdf. It should be the Good one now. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks
I purchase my ground meats from a local meat market which offers locally sourced grass fed meats. They have noted on their freezer door that ground chicken, ground turkey, ground sirloin & ground tenderloin is 95/5. Should I consider that to be a fatty protein? I have asked the meat market for a more detailed nutrition breakdown with calories and macros but have not received a response from them regarding that yet.
I would use it toward that until you know. I’m just basi mg it on seeing ground chicken in the fatty protein exchange. Prob your safest bet until you know for sure.
Read pages 50 and 51 in the nutrion overview of the Ebook, Nicole explains it there!
Exactly! It gets explained very well here.
Good morning
I know I need a workouts !
My lower back mostly on left hip hurts bad
And doing the plank with knee up or anything plank makes it hurt
The roll ups and anything side raises causes a lot of stress on that areaI could use some suggestions on what to do instead
My abs are weak and I’m hoping if I can strengthen them my back issue will fade awayI’m self diagnosing here … but the symptoms point to tendonopothy
I had injections in my right hip for similar pain
However they are super expensive and I am unable to do them anymore !Thank you for any advice and alternative workouts you can suggest
What about if you started with Dead bugs and bird dogs. Those are pretty easy on the body but super effective.
How about a Russian twist or a mountain climber?
Thank you! I’ve tried both ways… it does help to hold DBs and rest the head a little on my shoulders. I guess I’m probably stuck using the weight I can handle and increasing reps?
Try slowing down the movement and keep the tempo a longer count on the way down, pause and then a bit quicker on the way up. That will give you more time under tension.
What would be a good substitute for this move. It bothers my hip being on the side. I was modifying it with bottom leg bent but still hurts my hips. Thanks.
Have you tried elevating your upper body a bit. Knee bent and down is easier and if that hurts I’m curious where it hurts.
Sounds perfect. 🤩
Women’s Meal plan 1 only has fruit with one of the meals. Only on the post workout Meal 5. What or is anyone substituting to add fruit to a meal?
If you eat meal 4 option 2 and just use the exchanges, there is fruit in that one. Granted it’s a 1/4. If you really wanted it, Just take a carb and do that. Theres another one in phase 2 as well.
When I enter all the ingredients for the recipe and divide by the number of servings, the macros I get do not match what the recipe says they should be.
I will double check with Nicole. Sometimes what you choose when logging isn’t the same….brands and items people create their own foods on my fitness pal so we have to be super careful with what we choose if we choose to log the food.
Are front squats still beneficial if the weight you are able to lift is not heavy enough to reach near failure for your legs? My arms/back seem to limit the weight I can hold and still keep good form. Or is there another exercise that would be similar that I could get more out of my legs without my arms/back failing, first?
You could try holding two DB’s instead of the BB. See if that helps.
Email [email protected]. They can help you with this issue.
ThanksIf you look above, my answer outlined it and rebsyd1 wrote it out exactly how it looks.
Did I miss an update, or were we really given the same meal plan for all 6 week? The meal plans are the MAIN reason I buy the challenges. I am not happy. Please tell me I missed something.
You can create whatever meals you want. That’s why you get the exchange list and how to exchange for each meal. You get that plus 10 meals that are created for you. Possibilities are endless.
