Hi Lorraine Richards... and welcome!

For getting started - I'd suggest sharing the following video links with your orthopedist/specialist and get their input on which are appropriate for you, etc. These are the ones to show them (you'll need to give them your login info if they are to view them remotely - as opposed to you being at the office with them, with your device to show them the videos):

And keep me posted, please.

Awesome, Erin! I wouldn't worry about the counting and measuring so much as I would focus on getting the training routine going and being consistent... In terms of the meal/nutrition intake - for now just focus on the "what".... not so much the how much or how little... Be intuitive...

We don't want to overstuff ourselves with good healthy foods - because even that is uncomfortable and not beneficial to us metabolically. So just stay within your appetite and comfort/satisfaction range...

Your body may just guide itself toward proper and favorable body composition numbers - visual appearance and overall improvements - and the weight may actually not even matter... in terms of exactly where that number ends up at.

This is more about body composition changes as opposed to getting a certain number of pounds off - which will happen naturally anyway :-) Let's get things going and we can make nutrition adjustments along the way - if needed

Awesome coaching call today, Hayley Nathan!! And great to meet you :-) Ok - I'll suggest you start with the 5-Day Basic Sample Schedule here: https://sculptafitclub.com/programs/collection-beginner-5-day-sample-schedule-1?category_id=10017And keep me posted here on how you are doing - especially after you do your Day 1 session1 tomorrow! :-)  Any questions just post here!

Donna Fieldd - Nice!! How did the lower body feel?? And let me know how Day 3 training goes!

That's odd... Laura Patricia Curtis - can you post the exact link here that you can't access? (try logging out and logging back in first :-)

Hi LaNita Grein Knoderer ! Be sure to post any questions - especially if you need some guidance getting started - in the members area here: https://sculptafitclub.com/community/channels/community  See you there! :-) 

Hi Donna Fieldd! Awesome work on the getting the "before" photos done! :-)  Yes - you aim to do the reps that I do... If you can't - you just do what you can and eventually you'll build up to what I'm teaching in the videos. This is a new approach compared to what you've been doing in the past :-) Lol.. understood. I see so many people getting wrecked in the conventional/mass-market fitness settings. Unfortunate but true - so I just keep cranking away with getting my 'better' methods out there as much as possible. Did you do Day 1 mat and standing session combo yet?

Ideally you want to do them together - HOWEVER, they can be done separately if your time is tight - and you'll still get AMAZING results and improvements :-)

Donna Fieldd - ok keep me posted!

Erin - awesome on the photos!! :-) Get a scale like this one: https://amzn.to/3KPDc6v

And don't focus on your weight... focus on your body composition and the changes you want to see in the mirror. Then - focus on training consistently. It sounds like you're already following one of the Naked-Beauty Sample Schedules - yes?

You want to add carbs back into your meals for sure. It's the only way your body is going to change... your muscles NEED the glycogen fuel to train and to develop. Get into the FUSION-FLEX framework here: https://www.eatstrongnow.com/fusion-flex-access1664475024719

And scan some of the recipes and start with ones that appeal to you here: https://sculptafitclub.com/categories/cooking-videos

After you go through those - come back and post any questions you have at that point :-)
