Hey, Last night when I went through the lower body workout I found I am having difficulty with the lunges. Specifically the curtsy lunge, I am guessing the additional covid weight I acquired is putting a lot of strain on my right knee. Any modifications I can do or alternate workout to target that muscles being worked?

Are you doing these weighted or just body weight?

My treadmill only goes to 12%. Any suggestions on how to modify this workout when it says to do 15-13% incline? Should I increase my speed and just stay at 12%?

I wouldn’t worry about it. I am sure 12% is high as it is. If you think you can handle faster, go for it.

A stair, a box, anything raised. You are not stepping on it, just something to aim for.

Great suggestion!

Are they weighted through first couple sets or just light weight !

I would use light weight and work your way into the working sets.

[Maureen]

Exactly! That’s where we build our knowledge of food and look things up in a trusted source just so you know and build your knowledge even more. MFP has lots of mistakes. We can use it but we can’t RELY on it.

I messed up a little bit…. I ate low day meal 1, then realized its a high day.
Should I try to make up for that? Or just carry on with the rest of the meals as stated for today?

Nope. Just carry on with the correct day for tomorrow. No biggie.

Hi! I’m new to all of this. On the meal plan for each meal you are given an option 1 and option 2 can you mix and match options in one day? Say for meal 1 you choose option 1 but for meal 2 you choose option 2, is that okay?
Thanks:)

Sure is!!!

Hi just noticing that 100g of veggies are not included in this option, but is in all other MP. Is it just missing?
Thank you and enjoying the food plan!

If you are comparing to other meals plans higher than you, there must be a reason it’s not there. Might change the macros.

I think she means under the different meal plans the exchange for the muffins differs. One says FR, one says FR & 1/2LP. I was just noticing that as well. Seems like one of the exchanges would be a SC since they are made from oatmeal.

Can you tell me exactly what page and meals you are comparing so that I can send Nicole exactly to where you are questioning? Thanks.

Rice cakes with tuna and avocado
Hello, I posted a picture of some rice cakes with tuna and avocado that I made. Someone had asked what meal plan this was from. This was from the high day meal plan, meal number two, option two. I did add some condiments. I added sour cream and Tajin. I mixed in some of the Tajin with the sour cream and tuna and then also sprinkle some on top. I love TaJin it adds a little lime and chili flavor.

Sounds amazing!

Are we allowed to chew sugar free gum?

Yep. Again…too much might make you a little gassy lol

Does anyone know if we can have diet soda?

Yes you can. I would not have too much…the artificial sweeteners can make you feel a little gassy lol

I want to exchange the (3/4 sc)30g of oat bran to cream of wheat. On the exchange it has 33g for a serving of cream of wheat. Do i use 33g or use 3/4 cup?

You would use 3/4 of that exchange. 3/4 of 40 (which is the full serving of oat bran) would be 30g. So 3/4 of 33 would be roughly 25g. Does that make sense?

This doesn’t seem correct and wasn’t updated on the new version sent out. Option 1 has
1 1/4 carb and options 2 has 1/2 carb ?

Most likely its how it worked out with that meal, cottage cheese has carbs etc.

Do the best you can. If it’s new to you…it’s the 2nd day. Allow yourself time to get used to it all.

What link are you referring to? The part in the forum?

I seriously have never eaten this much . I’m day 2 and can’t get my 5 th meal in.

Just do the best you can. Sometimes when we increase the quality of the food ie more fruits and vegetables and healthy grains it can “feel” like it’s more food.

Hi, I’m Tina Shoope. I’m 54 years old and had rotator cuff surgery 10 weeks ago. Between my shoulder injury, surgery, & now rehab I’ve gotten fluffy. I had already gained some weight & now am up 12 more pounds for a total of 32 pounds 😬

I decided to do this even though I’m not permitted to use any weight in my affected arm/shoulder. I figured the structure would help me & simply doing what I can physically. It can’t hurt right 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m excited and thankful to be here 😊

Welcome Tina! Sounds like nothing is going to stop you from doing this! Good luck.

Hi guys! Just wanted to introduce myself. I am 47, I started this challenge to lean out and build muscle. I am a nurse with a very busy schedule and this challenge is exactly what I need to get my body and health where it needs to be. My “why” is my beautiful and sassy 4 year old granddaughter whom I have custody of since May 2018. I need to keep up with her LOL. Thank you again for this challenge. I tried to upload a photo however it kept giving me an error. Have a beautiful night.

Welcome! We are happy to have you. Good luck and kick some butt!

If I downloaded the challenge will it be available indefinitely with access to the videos? I am having difficulty getting my head in the game to start the challenge. Unfortunately, I lost my 29 year old daughter a year ago and grief has me held captive at the moment. Thought I could push through it and start on time but it isn’t happening.

Hi,
I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. I can’t even imagine what you are going through. The videos will be available 2 weeks after the challenge ends. Do something nice for yourself today. Even if it’s just a walk to clear your head or remember your daughter. I will keep you in my prayers. Take care.

In watching the movement demo video it looks like Nicole’s butt is coming up in the crunch as well. Is that why it’s called a double crunch, or am I clearly missing something here?

Yea her lower is coming up a bit to meet her up (like a reverse crunch meets a regular crunch)
