    Hi there - I'm Val and have had good results with the 21 day fix in the past but struggled into the new year. I have about 70 to lost this year (down 5 so far). I also am using the Cize videos to spice things up as bonus workouts. My shakeology is in the mail and looking forward to incorporating that in my diet.

    Hi all; new to the group but not new to dieting. 2 years ago I was 5 pounds from my goal weight and suffered an injury that took 6 months to heal. I was inactive so I gained weight, then ate because I was depressed about my weight gain. So fast forward to now..... I started 21 day fix yesterday. All this measuring with containers and how many containers of each colors is pretty time consuming. I'm sure it will get easier. I'm struggling with the recommended water consumption, mostly cause I'm not a fan. I bought a fusing pitcher so hopefully that will get better too.

    Hi Everyone,
    I am on Day 1 of my first round of the 21 Day Fix. I am 42 and need to lose at least 50 lbs.
    I am a sugar addict so that will be the toughest part for me, sugar withdrawal is brutal for me. Once I get past that I am sure things will get easier. My hubby is doing it with me as well so I have some support :smiley:

    Hi all, I'm Krissy. I love Autumn's workouts and used them to trim down several years ago. Now after a move, a job change and a baby, I have a lot of weight to lose.

    I started yesterday and am looking forward to having some accountability buddies. Hard work, but worth it.

    Besides losing weight, I'm trying to kick the diet soda habit for good and really cut down on processed sugar.

    Welcome all new,I am in my second week. I really like the containers it keeps it simple for me. I found this morning was a bit easier on my Full boy cardio fix. Water gets easier for me with lemon in it and if I don't let myself have anything but coffee or tea.
    Let's go do this together.
    Buddy up not sure how to get us tracking together.

    Welcome Krissy! Try flavored or plain seltzer with lemon in place of soda, even if you have to mix the two together to start to wean off.

    Welcome! Yes the containers can be a little overwhelming at first. You will have them memorized in no time! Food prep ahead of time will also help. I bought a 62 piece Rubbermaid set from Walmart so I cook and load them up for meals for the week when I can. (I travel lots for work so not always feasible)!

    Yes I have one they track on FB I choose not to boar all my other friends with the details. If you feel I am not on track perhaps I am in the wrong group.Not sure what I said to make you think that? I am not struggling at all was wanting a community to share and help motivate others.

    No, I wasn't feeling that you are on the wrong track or struggling, just thought I would ask if you have a coach to help. All groups do it differently. Mine has closed Facebook groups that are private so we don't bore the masses with our daily details. :)

    Hi ,my name is Lori,I am planning to start 21 day fix on Monday and just started doing light 15-25 minute workouts yesterday to slowly prepare my body.Over the past year and a half due to hormones going wonky (premenopause) I have put on 15 lbs and with my shift work ,hot flashes etc., feel like I'm falling apart.I just turned 45 yrs this month and am determined not to let this new phase of womanhood make me feel negative about my body image and mental well being.So, in an effort to make changes, trying to commit to the 30 minutes or more daily of exercise,plus control my eating-really hoping the 21 day fix is a step in the right direction.
