This is great Maureen, thank you. I will try this.
Great 🙂
Hey summer shred peeps,
I’m wondering if anyone has any advice re: the ab exercises (particularly the leg lifts, scissors, v-ups etc).
I seem to be fatiguing my hip flexors and groin way before my abs get sore. After the giants sets, I don’t feel my abs at all but I do my hip flexors.
I’m not sure if it’s my positioning?! I do stretch my groin and hip flexors or a regular basis as I know they are tight.
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.Thanks,
ChantalleFocus a bit more on the “pilates imprint” of your low back into the bench and less on the range of motion of the legs. When your legs move, does your back arch up? If so work on a smaller, controlled range of motion with the low back down. Hope that helps.
Yes, yes (except I don’t see nuts with that), but what I mean is the brownie ball is 1/2 portion lean protein and the yogurt is 12 oz, one full portion lean protein. I’m looking at meal plan 1 since I’m short. Lol!!
• (SC, F, ½ LP) 1 serving Brownie Protein Balls
(SEE RECIPE)
• (LP) 12 oz nonfat plain Greek YogurtOk. So this is your meal. So If you didn’t want to eat the Protein ball those would be the exchanges you would use in addition to another LP for the yogurt. Does that make sense?
1. Is it ok to eat these meals out of order?
2. Sometimes the options are not exactly the same in terms of LP, SC, V etc. I’m following plan 1. Thanks for your help!You don’t have to eat the meals in order. You can eat the same meal twice if you want. I don’t understand #2. Can you clarify please? Thanks.
I also have a question about Meal 2, Option 1…
The Brownie balls says there is 1/2 portion Lean Protein to be eaten with 12 ounces Greek yogurt, which is 1 portion Lean Protein.
Is the meal intended to be 1-1/2 portions of Lean Protein?If you are looking at the (SC,F,1/2 LP) 1 serving Brownie protein ball in the first sentence, it is just letting you know that if you don’t want to eat that brownie protein you would need to eat those exchanges in order to make this exchange.
If you want to eat the protein ball you would ALSO have the yogurt and the nuts with your brownie biteAlso if you like one of the meals a lot, can you eat that meal twice a day? Since it says all the meals have the same calories etc except for meal 5. Not saying I will make it a habit but some days it’s easier when you are short on time .. thanks!
You can. 🙂
Hi hope everyone is doing well throughout the challenge!! Just wondering, any recommendations for a Starbucks coffee? How would a skinny vanilla latte or skinny cinnamon dulce latte affect my mealplan calories? Would it mess it up? They are made with non fat milk and the cinnamon dulce latte is made with sugar feee syrup. Thanks so much 🙂
I would stick to black coffee, unsweetened ice teas and things of that nature for the challenge. That way you aren’t trying to work items into the meal plan and have to delete things out in order to get it to work.
So strange. No it does not either. It takes me to the screen like I am not a member but when I check at the top I am still logged in and says my membership is active. It’s only this one particular exercise. All the others work fine. I dont see anyone else with this issue so it must be unique to me for some reason. No worries. I can just do it as a double leg since I am not sure how to do it as a single leg.
Thank you so much for all your helpCan you get to it by clicking on it through the ebook? That’s how I get to all of the exercises on the challenge. Thanks.
Where did you find that workout log sheet?
It looks like a challengers husband added that to her ebook.
You can email [email protected] to see if you can get a resend of that email. Thanks.
Great meal alternative using exchanges!
Turkey bacon, egg white, avocado sandwich with homemade salsa verde – then more scrambled egg whites, avocado and salsa verde.Replaced WMP2, M1, O2.
The egg whites look yellowish because I season with Sazon Tropicale – makes them look like “real” scrambled eggs.
If anyone interested, I’ll share the salsa verde recipe. It’s all “salsa” type veggies so I’m counting as a condiment equivalent to regular salsa!
Won’t let me add a pic – I posted the pic on the FB Group.
Sounds amazing!!!
Hello ladies,
I answered your question days ago and realized it never posted. what I said was…..on top of the challenging training, the decrease in calories every 2 weeks and the other factors that go into our progress (sleep, water consumption, our cycle, where we started, metabolism, you name it) I would pay attention to all of these things on this challenge not just what the macro breakdown is and how it feels with your body. I think it’s awesome that you have the awareness you do. Have an amazing challenge.I am having difficulty finding enough time in the day to do the workout and the cardio. The workouts are taking me almost an hour and 45 minutes to complete and then there’s 30-45 min of cardio. Is it possible that I’m moving too slow for the workouts or is this taking others this amount of time as well? I workout at the end of the day because I’d have to get up before sunrise to fit it all in before I have to leave for work. I am finishing my workouts around 9:30 PM at night as it is.
HELP lol
Suggestions helpful!They just might be taking you longer because they are just that different and challenging. Just do the best you can. I think the strength is more important than the cardio. so if you only have time for one…do that. Don’t beat yourself up. Just do what you can with the time you have. YOu are doing great.
HI there,
There was an email that went out with any revisions that we had on the Pdf. Please check your junk mail for that. Thanks. The weeks aren’t 1/3/5. they are 1-3.Hey there!
Just about to give this option a try today and I want to be sure the LP amt is correct…
For women’s MP 2 meal 2 option 2, you have 6 oz shrimp listed as 1 LP. Is that suppose to be 1 LP = 4 oz or 1&1/2 LP= 6 oz?
Pls clarify.
Thanks,
Amina
Nope, If you look on the exchange list 6oz of shrimp is 1 LP. Eat up!
How do I upload my profile pic? I go to edit my profile and there isn’t a tab there. I looked everyone and can’t figure it out. Thanks in advance for your help.

You can try emailing [email protected]. I don’t have the answers to those technical questions. Thanks.My question about the recipe is: 12 oz chicken as first ingredient, is that cooked or raw for the recipe?
Normally I would tell you to measure proteins cooked but in this case you are cooking it with mushrooms so in this case I would measure it raw to make cooking easy.
Is the 12 oz of chicken in the recipe measured raw at the start or cooked and then added to the recipe? I’m pretty tight with measuring everything I just want to be sure
Ordinarily I would tell you to measure cooked but you are combining with mushrooms to cook so it can get labor intensive. I would measure out 12oz raw for this instance. Make it easy on yourself.
Looking for other ideas what others are having for breakfast if you are not eating the quiche? Let me know some of your ideas, please as long as it is not heating chicken for breakfast.
You could do a protein pancake with oats, protein powder, egg whites and peanut butter. Blend the 1st 3 together. You could double or triple it and make a big batch.
Following… I asked the same question and no answer yet 😉
In the top corner is should say “howdy, Your name” if you mouse over that is will have a part to edit profile. Click on that. You should be able to go from there.
What are some alternatives to the jump squats and the jump lunges? My knees are bad, and I don’t want to risk further injury – but I really want to modify..just need some suggestions…thanks!
Take the jump out. Just do regular squat and lunge. I am sure it will hurt so good just the same LOL
A couple links on the leg day for Thursday do not work. For example the single leg ham ball curl
Hi,
I just checked the link and it seems to be working for me.Ok that’s what I have been doing, but shouldn’t this part say 1/2 FR then since it only has a 1/2 in the smoothie? For swapping purposes, someone might add a full serving of fruit and then the additional 1/2 on the side.
Not necessarily, It’s a recipe so Nicole wants you to eat those exchanges if you choose not to do that recipe. PLUS the fruit listed below.
What a typo – auto correct typed Marlene instead of Maureen! See, I need help!!😂😂😂😂😂
LOL. I saw that maybe a medium is 118 grams. Maybe that will help 🙂
