    Last week, before starting 21 Day Fix, I would do 20/40 minutes of Zumba in the morning, go home on my lunch break and do 20 more and that would be my workout. Today I headed home to do my afternoon Zumba and crashed instead, lol. Wanted to take a nap! Delayed onset fatigue from this morning probably.

    I'm on the doubles week and Lower Body Fix kicked my butt today. I was going to go for a run before that but I'm glad I didn't. The 10 Minute Ab Fix is later and I feel like it should be easy in comparison to what I've been through today, but knowing Autumn that's going to be the worst 10 minutes of my life.

    @randilast Yeah, the protein shake post-workout really helps with muscle building/repair. As for other workouts, I'm doing doubles week now so the only other exercise I'm really getting in is a 5 mile walk daily, but during the first two weeks I was also doing the C25K program three days per week. I'm still doing it, but I want to fit it into days where the doubles workouts don't drain all of my energy.

    @CrosbyMcDowell Yeah, Autumn said two things about the almond milk. If it's unsweetened almond milk and you're only using 4 to 6 fluid ounces and not every day, it's considered a freebie. Other types of almond milk count as a yellow. Even if I use 4 fluid ounces, I tend to count it as half a yellow since the only yellow list foods I eat are the sweet potatoes and beans. From the treat list I only do coconut water or a piece of dark chocolate, but Autumn gave the OK for Kind Bars, so I'm thinking of trying a few of those once in a while.

    @evelynfarmer Glad to have you with us! I hope you enjoy the program. I did the same thing with running/walking as you and I feel like it was manageable.

    @synacious the 10 minute ab is hard, but my abs feel amazing afterward!!

    Apparently I didn't read all my materials as thoroughly as I thought. :/

    I did lower fix for the first time today. It was one of the workout I skipped last week because I was so sore! The first rep of the very first exercise I strained my hamstring and my glut! I felt like such a wuss! I ended up having to wait a few hours and start over.

    @MotivatingOthers Yes, it was! There were some moves where I didn't get to the full 20. If I had, my form would have been off and there would be no next day soreness to feel.

    @CrosbyMcDowell Yeah, Lower Fix is my least favorite workout of them all. I push through it, but something about it just hurts more than any other workout. :( That sucks that you had to do that though. Did you finish it the second time?

    I've only done through Day 3 but the Surrenders in Total Body Cardio are what killed my legs. Did the modifiers and back of my legs still sore! Not as bad today but whew! Still feel it when I get up from my desk chair.

    Yeah, I finished legs workout. It went fine I just could lunge as deep as I wanted to!

    Surrenders are definitely hard! I don't know why, but I can do them ok with one leg and when I switch, I get all confused and it's much harder.

    Today is the last day of my first round and the only exercise to do is Yoga, so I'm ready to post here. As of this morning I lost another 2.2 pounds. I just took a progress photo last week, so I'm waiting for the end of round 2 to take another. My progress photo shows me on June 23rd then on August 9th. Prior to 21 Day Fix I was doing the C25K Program, walking 5 miles daily, and doing T25 Gamma which is all strength. I definitely feel like 21 Day Fix brought me together. Stats below the photo.

    ycf4fxp8n9nl.jpg

    June Starting Measurements (6/23/15)
    • Weight: 138 pounds
    • Chest: 34 inches
    • Waist: 32 inches
    • Hips 40 inches
    • L/R Thigh: 25/24 inches
    • L/R Arm: 13/13 inches

    21 Day Fix Round 1 Starting Measurements (7/27/15)
    • Weight: 132 pounds
    • Chest: 33.5 inches
    • Waist: 29 inches
    • Hips 39.5 inches
    • L/R Thigh: 23/22 inches
    • L/R Arm: 12/12 inches

    21 Day Fix Round 1 Final Measurements (8/16/15)
    • Weight: 126 pounds
    • Chest: 32 inches
    • Waist: 27 inches
    • Hips 38 inches
    • L/R Thigh: 20/20 inches
    • L/R Arm: 11/10.5 inches

    Adding 21 Day Fix to my routine helped me lose more in both pounds and inches in a shorter amount of time. I didn't follow the eating plan exactly as I barely had any of the treats you were allowed three times per week and used the drink options sometimes (coconut water or almond milk only), I don't have the containers for the program and looked up the equivalent sizes online, and I did not use Shakeology. I did have an extra serving of veggies or protein on days where I was really hungry due to additional exercise. I weighed and recorded everything I ate and made sure I at least took in 1200 calories. I did do the doubles option on the final week and, yes, I still did the C25K program three days per week while doing this and went for 5 mile walks almost daily. I made sure I got 10,000 steps almost every day. I'm looking forward to starting Round 2 tomorrow. After Round 2, I may move to 21 Day Fix Extreme.

    I am so excited, I get my packet in a few days~ You are all so motivating, what a great board! It's funny how everyone comments on the workout part and not the food prep which is what I was nervous about, so now I am really curious and excited about it! Great job to all of you who have already started!

    @jennimben I think that the food prep is actually the hardest part (aside from the burpees...)! Just getting organized and really planning every meal and snack out is so time consuming! I think you'll get into the swing of it in no time, though!

    Congrats @BridgeM7 !! I'm on Day 12 and have lost 3 pounds as well. It probably could have been more but I'm not sticking to the meal plan on this first round. Next round I will though! Keep up the great work!
    @rjpittner the burpees kill me every time! Those and the surrenders and mountain climbers. All are total body work outs and really get your heart pumping. I'm looking forward to the day when I'm strong enough to not do modifiers anymore.

    My stats are almost identical to @synacious!

    Starting weight: 133
    Chest: 33
    R arm: 11.5
    L arm: 11.5
    Waist: 34.5
    Hips: 39
    R thigh: 22
    L thigh: 23

    Final weight: 126
    Chest: 32
    R arm: 11
    L arm: 11
    Waist: 32
    R thigh: 20
    L thigh: 21

    Total lbs lost: 6

    I followed diet and and exercise plan exactly. When I wasn't able to eat all of the scheduled food, I rotated which group I skipped. I used GNC Lean Shake instead of Shakeology. Also made 10,000+ steps a day (nightly walks with the pups!!) My results might not seem substantial on paper, but I FEEL amazing. My tummy is near flat (something I've fought for since high school) and my size 4 jeans are now feeling loose and saggy in the waist, rump, and thighs (jeans are NEVER loose in my thunder thighs!) My energy level and confidence are at an all time high. This weight is STAYING OFF as opposed to when I used to lose weight just to gain it back a few days down the road. I've never completed a diet/exercise program that I've started on before, so I'm really proud of myself for that. I'm taking a day off (today), then hitting round #2 tomorrow!

    You. Look. GREAT! I can see such an improvement, especially in the lower half of your body. That's so awesome! You forgot to include your new hip measurement, but based on the photos I'm going to guess it's around 37ish? Anyway, congrats! I took a week off because I got a hair process done where I couldn't sweat or get it wet for 72 hours. I still followed the eating plan though and lost 2.1 pounds this week. I started round 2 yesterday, so I'm right here with you for round 2. I can't wait to see our results at the end of that.

    @rjpittner You look amazing!!! And good job on completing the program. When I finish this week, it will be the first time for me as well. Congrats on the amazing work!

    Congrats to both of you who finished the 21 day fix! :) I'm on day 5 today! :)

    My first weigh in for week 1 is Thursday and I really hope I lose weight this week! :)

    I'm excited and nervous to see what my changes are after Round 1. I finally found my measuring tape and am having to beat down the curiosity to see what my measurements are today. Didn't measure beyond weight at the beginning (because of lost tape) so changes, good or bad, will be from a measurement taken a month or so ago. I don't detect any major difference but I will be jumping right in to Round 2!!!

    I actually have to weigh in tomorrow morning because that's the only day I can weigh in this week.

    I'll post how many pounds I lost tomorrow morning after I am done weighing in.

    Yes! I just turned 51 this summer. I have 14 and 18 yr old boys who keep me feeling more like 39.9.9.9! I'm 5'2+ and 150, and hoping for a nice loss 10 lb loss after a couple of rounds of this.

    @jennimben, thanks for posting. I am 5'4" and looking to drop 20 but 10 is a good start. My current weight which seems to have stalled is 150 also. Hoping to purchase soon. 39.9.9.9, that's a good one.

    That's great! If I recall correctly, you said you didn't even really follow the meal plan this round correct? (If I'm mistaking you for another poster I'm sorry!) I wonder what your Round 2 will be like if you do.
