    Hi All,

    I don't have mine yet - I will be ordering it next week and hopefully start before the end of March. As you may or may not be able to tell - I start and then....well, I never finish.

    I would love to follow along with you guys until I get mine and then share my successes with you all. :smile:

    Are you guys logging your meals on here still? I was going to put I'm not too sure on what to enter for portion sizes because I'm not sure how much each container holds!
    I fell into the third calorie range, which is WAY more food than I've been eating, but I'm going to follow it and see what happens.

    Here's my Day 1 meal plan: 5 G, 3 P, 5 R, 4 Y, 1 B, 1 O, 5 tsp

    B: Smoothie with chocolate shakeology (1R), almond milk (1 Y), strawberries (1 P), and spinach (1 G)
    S: Cottage cheese (1R) and 2 tangerines (1 P)
    L: Salad with power greens (1 G), tomato, broccoli, peppers, and onion (1 G), Creamy Herb dressing (1 O), and chicken (1 R)
    S: Watermelon (1 P) and pistachios (1 B)
    D: Grilled chicken (1 R), brown and wild rice (1 Y), grilled peppers and onions (1 G), 2 corn tortillas (1 Y) and coconut oil (1 tsp)
    S: Veggie burger (1 R), brown and wild rice (1 Y), tomatoes (1 G)

    Soooo much food! Used everything except my tsps!

    Sorry, I'm not interested in a 21 day fix. I'm in this for life.

    That's just the name of the program and it's called that because that's how long this specific workout program lasts…doesn't mean those of us doing it are only going to eat healthy and exercise for only 21 days and then quit….smh.

    Did really bad today :(

    Had a pear for breakfast and a handful of almonds, little pasta salad with chicken for lunch and thought I was on the right track. I saw sweettarts (my weakness) in a dish in the office, and figured, eh I work out tonight, I'll have a few. Before I knew it, the whole bowl was gone and now I just feel sick.

    Going to have to make sure to down the water and eat really good for dinner. What do you guys do when you get a craving like I did today? I blame most of it on the curse (monthly) lol

    Tiff,

    Oh this is my story! If I get my hand on candies I just overdo it most of the time. Recently, I had a major candy binge (on Valentine's Day or the day after or something). I just find that there is no middle ground, UNLESS I buy a small portion. It's just easier to stay away. Remember, cravings last about 15 minutes....Thanks for sharing this with us. I'm glad that I'm not alone on this one.

    That's something I battle with too! I know if I have that one little spoon of nutella, within a few hours, that bottle is going to be empty!! I have to remind myself that I will feel sick if I over do it... although, when you're enjoying that first mouthful, it's hard to remember :(

    Ps - my monthly curse is coming too!! LOL!

    Hi! Yup! I've been logging in my foods on here still. Feel free to take a peek into my food diary!

    Generally speaking, I think the measurements are:

    Green and purple are around 1cup
    Red is 3/4 cup
    Yellow is 1/2 cup
    Blue is 1/3 cup
    Orange is 2 tbsp

    As for what I do to input it into MPF, I actually use a food scale for everything I am using with the food containers - at least for the first time. So by now, I know I can stuff about 100g of chicken in the red container. ;) Hope this helps!

    Thank you guys! It does feel better knowing I'm not alone :-) Ive always had the most trouble with the nutrition aspect of diets. I get so confused about no carbs for breakfast or for dinner, no cheese, no milk, etc etc that i get so frustrated and give up ! This is really helping me but i know i have a long way to go!

    I am on day 3. I am on the highest calorie range. So far I feel great. The workouts are the hardest thing for me right now but I have doing as much as I can and also supplementing with Walk Away the Pounds DVDs.

    Feel free to add me if you want!

    Hi, I started the exercise program but haven't started using the containers just yet. I wanted to give myself a week of logging my food on MFP to make sure I stick with it. The whole container thing seems overwhelming. For those of you working, did you just plan your day ahead of time and "pack" your food or set it aside for the day? How do you all do it who are cooking for families?

    Yes, I am...I like sweets so it is hard but eating much better. I do workout though as I teach some too.

    Yes...you plan ahead...Today I had some pre-made scrambled eggs and cooked kale/onions and turkey bacon..it was good.
    (heated in mirco). I also brought some pre-made oatmeal/fruit. Cook your meat on the weekend if you can.

    I just ordered it. Need to get my eating under control, and looking forward to an exercise "program". Not sure yet about doing the Shakeology though.

    I would like to see what others are eating on this program too.

    I'm nearing the end of the 21 days, but i'll keep eating 'mostly' this way.

    I'm really enjoying it

    I need to branch out in my foods though

    with lots of illness that hit at home, I had a hard time planning well... like today, its off to th e grocery at lunch that has the good salad bar, and pick up a few other things for the weekend. But it works. :)

    I found myself getting really frustrated today. I understand that the containers are designed for portion size, but I don't really plan or like to take them with me everywhere I go. I really wish they would give the approximate size (1 cup, 1/2 cup, etc) so if I am out of town or somewhere other than home, I can use different size tupperware.

    Is it just me or does this bother anyone else? Or am I just blind and not seeing it lol

    I'm ordering mine tomorrow and hopefully will get it within a week! Feel free to add me and we can all help each other! :)

    It's on backorder -- if you haven't ordered it yet, it likely won't come until early next month.
