Way to push through Jennifer!! Sometimes we can be progressing and doing great and inching ever close to our goals, but it’s the MENTAL games our minds play that get us. Way to kill those thought demons!
You’ve got this girl!!!
Yes, here is a link to the facebook group!
https://www.facebook.com/groups/NWFitCommunity/
What is your name on Facebook so I know it’s you? Also, please make sure you answer the questions so you can be approved 🙂
I am not sure where you’ve read about it, as no information has been posted. Nicole has talked about it in her Live Q&As on her facebook page, but no emails have been sent nor has any official info been posted on this web site.
As soon as it is released, you guys will be the first to know! A newsletter should be going out shortly with info, so keep an eye out 😉
Hi Brandy- an email with all the info and instructions for submitting after pics and measurements will be sent out this week.
Hey Serina- I just looked up the ingredients and it contains beta-phenylethylamine which can cause irritation/itchiness as a side affect.
It is not uncommon at this stage of the game to be experiencing this 😉 Keep pushing, you’re almost there! Not long now!! Great job everyone!!!

Awesome Karen!!! What a fantastic way to celebrate your 50th! Happy birthday and congratulations on making it through this challenge. Just a few more days left! Push hard to the finish 😉
Hey there- we recommend your pics be as close to the same as your before pics, but it is up to you. We’ve had people submit after pics in different positions as well 🙂
Hi Aiste- Nicole will make an announcement very soon – before this challenge is over – about what to do when this challenge is over and details about what/when the next challenge will be. Hold tight! We are all so glad that you are excited to keep going and are planning for the next step 😉
Hi Kristin- the last official day of the challenge is March 9th and the period for submitting “after” pics & info will begin the following day on March 10th.
Nicole will also email info with more detail regarding the final submissions a few days before the challenge is over 😉
Hi Kathy-
1/2 c Oat Bran is correct. Just follow the directions on the package by measuring out 1/2 c dried oats (which should be 80g).
You’ve been doing it correctly 😉
Hey there- another challenge is in the works as we speak and info will be released soon! Keep an eye out!! 😉
Julie- I believe (but you may want to go to a more specialized medical professional beyond your doctor) that your B12 tested higher than the “normal range” because your body is not absorbing B12. Having 2 gene mutations is not very common (about 10% of the US population from what I have researched) so there may be more digging that you have to do.
Here is a little insight into B12 deficiency/malabsorption from one source: https://youtu.be/qs7l8PFEaFk
That is a good starting point, though there may be a number of other things we briefly touched on that could be causing your body to be unresponsive.
I hope this helps, and I hope this gives you a platform to start looking further into some underlying health issues that could be preventing you from reaching your physique goals.
Hi Julie-
I am so sorry to hear about your experiences with the last few challenges. I can understand how frustrating it must be spending time, money and energy (emotionally, mentally and physically) on something hoping and expecting for a certain to come and not seeing what you were doing to see.
I have so many questions, I will have to keep them short. I do have to say that I feel you may have some underlying hormonal and/or metabolic and/or gut permeability issues that could be affecting your body’s ability to respond to the program. I will ask you just a few questions that may help me give you more insight:
1. have you gotten a basic metabolic blood profile to see how your hormones, thyroid and other systems are functioning?
2. have you been consistently dieting and lifting for very long periods of time without taking a little break or laying off the super rigid regimen for a few months?
3. What is your height/weight/age and body fat percentage
4. what are your goals?If you are a member of Nicole’s website, please read my most recent Tip Me Tuesday regarding metabolism 😉
It sounds to me that you are in a plateau and your body is just not responding, but looking deeper into why that is will help you figure out how to get out of the plateau rut you seem to be in 😉
Hey there- Definitely just hang in there! Based on working with clients, watching people’s body’s transform through these challenges and through my own physical transformation, you really can’t determine progress through weight.
I feel the three best indicators of progress are:
1. how your clothes fit
2. progress photos
3. how you feelHang in there, you’re almost there! As long as you love the way you look and feel, you are making progress! Great job!! 🙂
That is a great suggestion, Wendy. Also, you can sub one of the other meal options given for that meal instead, if any of them appeal to you 🙂
Hi Renee- I am not sure if you missed this part, but there is a supplement section in the program that you can find here listing all the supplements Nicole recommends for this challenge. I hope this helps! 🙂
Amazing job and journey from the stage to today Aussie Gal! 🙂
Prep can definitely take a toll on you physically, mentally and emotionally – but sometimes not as much as life post-competition can. You look fantastic and it is great to hear you have support from your coach (as well as all of us here) 😉
Thank you for sharing this with us! We’re rooting for you and know you’re giving it all you’ve got to finish strong!! 😀
Awesome, glad you found the answer in another post! For anyone who comes across this post, the answer is yes, you do have a post-workout meal after Total Body Cardio 😉
Hi Melissa- I did that workout on Wednesday and it is HARD! LOL! Definitely a great HITT cardio workout that you can do as part of a HIIT workout for this challenge. Let us know what you think the workout after you do it! I was surprised at how hard it was! Good luck 🙂
Hey there-
Some easy healthy travel foods are:
– rice cakes
– nut butter packes (little to no added sugars)
– apples (fresh/raw)
– dried fruit (no added sugars, read the ingredients carefully)
– to-go ready rice (tons of them in the grocery store rice section)
– to-go tuna packets (again, tons to choose from, don’t forget a fork!)
– beef jerky (all-natural, read ingredients for added sugars
– 100 calorie almond snack packs
– to-go oatmeal (dried, just add water)
– protein powder (just add water)I would think you could go to a grocery store when you get there but I’ve never been to Cancun, so I have no idea lol 😛
At restaurants or the hotel, you are safe with: egg whites, plain oatmeal, baked potatoes, steamed veggies, baked chicken, etc. If you can, bring your food scale so you have it handy. It might take some planning to stay on track while on vacation, but it’s not impossible! Good luck 😉
