    I should add that we never did shakeology. I mean really, $130 or more for protein shakes? Geez.

    I am doing the 21 day fix right now. It has really helped me blast through a plateau that I've had for 2 years. Every diet has a way to cheat. But if you're following the directions as stated and you're honest with yourself it will work really well. I had a friend started a couple of days ago and she was used to running up to 5 miles a day. She said she was dripping with sweat her first work out and she was sore for three days. So even for people who are in great shape they are very effective workouts.

    I am waiting for someone to do one of those videos who actually knows how to use measuring spoons and cups. Hint: there should never be anything over the rim.

    Biggest danger - you just wasted money. If you follow proper portion sizes - you don't need to use their containers to measure. Measuring cups and a food scale is much cheaper - and much more accurate.

    I'm horrible with portion sizes - that's one of my main problems

    Have you seen this video?

    The workouts really are great. I'm always covered in sweat half way through the dvd. Even reviews I've seen that were negative about 21 day fix mentioned that the workouts were well done.

    I am on my 3rd round and I love the program. Its so easy to follow and as long as you are organized and prep your food for the week and workout you are going to see results. i have trouble with portion control so the containers work well for me! I also do shakeology and i love it

    My thoughts? I can stuff a whole lot of calories into overpriced tupperware if I want to.

    I am so glad I learned to weigh my food. It is amazing how much food you can cram into a 1cup container if you look at it like an engineer and fill up every conceivable space.

    What happens after 21 days?

    The idea of the 21 day part is that research says it takes 21 days to establish a new habit. Once the 21 days are over, if you don't need to lose more weight, you move to maintenance which is explained in the book. If you need to lose more, you do another round. You can do as many rounds as you need.
