    I am loving this thread! So many fierce maintenance ladies lifting weights. I have found my people, lol. :D

    I am at maintenance range. I have MS. I use a walker/wheelchair. My partner got me an exercise bicycle. I didn't think I would be able to manage it, but with the help of my arms, I can. I started at 5 minutes and have decided to work up to 15 minutes a day. I am excited about the possibility of figuring out how to walk again. I am looking for a miracle.

    Daily caloric intake:
    12 x 125 = 1,500 calories
    Protein-250g
    Carbs-63g-125g-181g (cycle carbs) cycling your carbs will make your calorie intake fluctuate daily.
    Fat-31g
    Sugar no more than 45g
    Sodium-no more than 1,500mg

    Don't use MFP calculations.

    Week 1: 3X10*
    Week 2: 3X8*
    Week 3: 3X5*
    Week 4: 3X2*
    Week 5: 3X12*
    Week 6: 3X15*
    Week 7: 3X20*
    Week8: 3X25*
    *=drop set (makes 4th set)

    Weeks 2-4 you are doing less reps but adding more weight.

    Weeks 5-8 you are doing more reps but less weight.

    A droop set: immediately after you finish your last set, rack the weight. Rest 10-15 seconds then pick the weight up till failure, immediately drop the weight by 20-40 percent and go to failure again.

    whats the reasoning for so much protein? and why so little sodium?
