Hi Dina-
I would recommend choosing the next meal plan up and see how your body responds. The plan already calls for minimal cardio in Phase 1.
Good luck!
Hi Danka-
It is always better to use precaution if you don’t feel comfortable doing something so I would recommend using a Smith Machine for assistance. Smart thinking 😉
Good luck!
Hi there-
I don’t know how you would be able to monitor the change in intensity as you would on a step mill if you use regular stairs. For example, how would you be able to gauge that you are going from level 8 to level 15? Does that make sense?
Of course you can use your stairs for cardio but I don’t think you can accurately do the workout as outlined in the LB Dropper workout without using a step mill.
I hope this helps!
Hi Suzie!
We are so glad you are part of the challenge! Good luck 😀
Hi Priscilla-
Each strength-training workout should take about an hour. Good luck! 🙂
Hi Maria-
You’ll need to email your request to: [email protected] regarding purchase/upgrade questions.
Good luck with the challenge! 🙂

Hi Jen- all of Nicole’s transformation challenges are different and unique 😉 The meal plans, workouts, and cardio are all different for this challenge from any of the previous challenges. We hope you’ll sign up! 😀
Hi Dawn- Nicole has been super busy with this past Olympia in Spetember (which she had vlogs about covering how she was doing throughout the prep, as well as post Olympia) and then the launch of her supplement line in October (which she had a vlog about explaining what she’s been up to with her business) and has most recently been busy creating the workouts and recipes for the upcoming 60 Day Challenge. She will continue to post vlogs, blogs and Q&As but may be a little more spread out with the additional services and products she is providing 😉 It’s great that you enjoy these! It is fun to get a peak into her day-to-day life, her goals, etc. 😀
Hi Timikie- I am not sure if you’ve done this yet, but for all membership-related issues and questions like this, someone can help you if you send your email to: [email protected] 😉
Hi Jane- so sorry for the delay in response! I would advise only using My Fitness Pal to track your food and not exercise 😉
There is a feature on My Fitness Pal that allows you to track your exercise but not take out the calories from your daily food intake, but I believe that is included with the upgraded version. I feel the upgraded version is well worth the extra $ since you can tweak settings a lot more specific to what your goals are. This way, you can also see about how many calories you burn without it affecting your calorie and macro goals 😀
Hi Elba- I apologize for the delay in response to your question. But honestly, you didn’t have any other option so you did the best you could with what you had to work with. While having the same lighting, area, clothing, posing, etc. is ideal, it is not necessary for successful before/after pics. Great job, I hope you enjoyed the challenge! 😀
Hi Beth- you should have received an email saying your uploaded was successful just as with the starting pics. If you still aren’t sure, please email [email protected]
You can always try uploading a second time if you don’t think your upload was successful.
No, that shouldn’t be a problem.
An email has not yet been sent out with details about after pics. Please read the Buns And Guns Challenge Rules. Detailed info about after pics will be sent via email.
Hi Donna- I don’t believe there is any way you could have been removed from the email list but please email [email protected] if you haven’t been receiving the weekly hashtag winner emails every week. Make sure you check your junk or spam folders.
Hi Nancy- the weekly social media winners are announced via email, as well as posted on Nicole’s facebook and Instagram pages.
Hi Robin- the hashtag will be sent out to everyone participating in the challenge at the same time via email.
Hi Elba- it is best to have as similar photos as possible to your before pictures so that we can compare the changes to your body composition only. If everything else is the same or as close to the same, we can see the actual transformation better. All of these should be the same or as close to the same as the before pictures:
– what you were wearing
– the place you took your before photos in (room, same place in room, etc.)
– lighting (time of day), the lighting can cast shadows and make a difference in what your body looks like in the photos
– body position, how you are standing, where your arms are, how you are positioned to the camera, etc.More info will be sent out about after photos later this week.
Yes, that is correct Beth.
Hi Leanne- yes, the nutrition/meal plan for this challenge can be incorporated as a healthy way of eating for every day life! ?
Hi Chevelta- that happens sometimes, just keep moving forward. Don’t try to make up the missed workouts, as it will affect your workouts for this week. Take your rest days, you need them! 😉 Just pick up where we are in the challenge for this week. Almost to the finish line!! 😀

Hi Donna- no, you shouldn’t change your meal plan since you are seeing progress. The meal plans are chosen both by height and weight but if they conflict then you should go based on your height so stick to what you’re doing. Great job!! ?
Hey guys- at the moment the only emails being sent out for the Buns And Guns Challenge are the weekly social media hashtag prize winners which are emailed out on Mondays. Try doing a search in your email search bar for “Nicole Wilkins” or “[email protected]” and see if the emails pop up.
When you registered for the challenge, your email is automatically added to the email distribution list for the duration of the challenge.
Hi Traci- could you please email your issue to [email protected] so they can look into it on the tech side of things? If you receive any emails at all, that means you’re on the email distribution list and all emails come from the same place and are sent to the same people on the email list so I’m not sure why you would be getting some emails but not others :-/
