    Ok, has no one else noticed that the OP has an 'online fitness coaching business' and Jules is his girlfriend, trying to help him get business on here by starting a BB bashing thread?

    Girlfriend? You mean wife, right?

    But who is Jules? (I mean, I found her on his FL after your post, but what's her significance to your post? I'd never heard of her.)

    I noticed that as well. Which is why I was not making any comments ;) Like others have said, to each his or her own.

    You can do Beachbody/p90x consistently for 90 days and see some results.

    You can also train consistently for 90 days with proper diet for 90 days.

    The difference? The latter is free and yield greater result.

    I'm not a fan of beachbody but it's pretty sad when you have to slam another system just to promote your own online business. Grow some and stand on your own. If your system works, then promote it without badmouthing others.

    She posted on page 1, a few posts down from the OP, bashing the BB program and saying her guy's plan worked better. I saw she was his wife and partner in their business after I checked out her profile. Jules was the profile name.

    I mean if you want to advertise your online coaching business, go ahead, but don't start a thread bashing another product to do it.

    BTW, I have no interest in BB stuff either. To each their own. Do what works for you.

    It's against forum rules to advertise so no, not ok and yes I know a BB coach on here that was a "friend" and tried to sell me Shakeology which is why she is no longer a friend. If I want to buy something I will go search for it myself.

    Great catch Debbie. I completely agree with you that this is shady business practice. The OP signed up on MFP 2 years ago but just started posted two weeks ago and his first thread was this fishing expedition.

    I wonder if his recent decision to become more active on the boards has something to do with starting a new career as a PT?

    Ah. Duh. Yeah, I missed her on page one.

    Dang it. I was all in favor of this thread (or at least the general idea behind it...but probably for petty vindictive reasons since my first strike ever on MFP was for a post I made on a BBV thread), but this little revelation takes a lot of the fun out of it.

    I did lose quite a bit of weight doing insanity, granted it's just boring and unsustainable for me... However P90x is terrible and I HATE Tony with a fiery passion of the sun

    Yup. Both of their profile pages are full of advertisements and promotions about the OP's online training biz which would be in competition with BB.

    I have loved every beachbody program that I've done, but I haven't given a penny to the company. Hooray for pirate bay.

    I love the BB programs I have played with, but I highly doubt that Shakeology is half as nutritious as my morning smoothie, or my post workout shake...

    I don't mind talking the stuff down when someone tries to promote it, but starting a thread to bash something is pretty sucky.
    Now that we know the OP's motivation, I guess that explains a lot.
