    Go on Facebook. You'll find someone who has tried it, had awesome results, and is selling it now for 20% off! Act now, this deal won't last! Also Shakeology!

    If you need workout videos try fitnessblender.com It is free and they have hundreds. Also, buy a food scale so you can learn proper portion sizes, then weigh and log everything. That should get you some good results

    Agreed. That's what I have done. They have so many different types of workouts: low-impact, stretching, yoga, Pilates, HIIT, cardio, strength, kickboxing, abs, and more. My $12 food scale has been a great investment. I've loved learning about what portions should be and how I and many others easily overeat. I welcome the structure of weighing and logging. It does get tedious, but I enjoy it. lol

    so what happens after the 21 day quick fix?

    exercise videos you can get online for free, pick up in bargain bins or at car boots and flea markets

    Don't buy this year. The same people who made 21 day fix will come out with 14 day fix next year for the new years resolutionist.

    Pick up Hip Hop Abs instead... I think it's like $20 now.

    I've used the 21 day fix and I loved it because it focuses more on portion control and tells you what goes in each little container. The workouts are really good. Not really high impact and has a modifier. I think they're only 30 minutes. In 21 days I lost 7lbs and I don't remember how many inches. It's not a "quick fix" but more if like a...ummm....nutritional kick start? Since it's primary focus is on eating what's healthy and the right amount.

    I bought the program last year and I liked it. It does focus heavily on nutrition and portion control. the containers are color coded and there is basically a list of "allowed" foods that you can have to fill up those containers according to which color you are filling up. the workouts are pretty good...nothing too extremely hard and there are modifiers. I'm actually still doing the workouts a year later lol..I enjoy them. There is some weights involved but not a ton. All in all, I don't really regret getting the program. I've definitely used the workouts, and I drank all of the Shakeology that came with it. if you are new to nutrition and portion sizes, I'd probably recommend it. It's eye opening, and the workouts are nice. just beware the beach body coaches will hound you afterwards to keep buying and try to recruit you to become a coach as well. I wasn't interested, its not my thing.

    That part is true. I fell for it. Bought it. Just sold it on eBay. Because it was unnecessary (to me). I'd rather keep track of calories over keeping track of containers and color-coded lists.

    I like the DVD's (good for a starter, but maybe not for an advanced exerciser). I use the bowls for leftovers....don't want too complicated meal plans right now.

    I like the workouts but that's about it. I felt that the caloric range for my level was way too little. I was hungry constantly. I only last a few days on the Fix. No Shakeology either... too expensive. Plus, can you really see yourself spending that amount of money every month for who knows how long? No thanks, I've got better things to spend my hard earned money on. I got the workouts for free and just used my own containers.. found the measurements for each one online.

    I really enjoy the workouts. I did for a few weeks & tried to stick to the nutrition plan pretty close. I've since fell off track & I have recently started the workouts but I'm focusing on counting calories instead of filing the containers. The workouts are short & sweet & you will feel the burn!

    I use the 21 day fix extreme and I love the workouts. I burn about 300 calories in a 30 min workout. I dont use the containers. I just use MFP and eat healthy.
