    Finally received my 21 day fix yesterday after 6 weeks of waiting. I'm reading the books this week and learning about it and then plan on starting this weekend. We'll see how it goes. I'm going to continue doing the Body Revolution workouts because I'm on week 3 and don't want to stop now, but I'll use the 21 day fix meal program along with it. JMBR is only 30 minutes a night and that's the same amount of time as the 21 day fix program workouts so I think it should all work together.

    I just got the 21 day fix but have not started yet. Scared I guess. I do not want to fail anymore. I want to be able to do this and be a good role model for my daughters who also struggle with weight. If I can do this, I know they will do this too. I have tried EVERYTHING in the past 6 years to lose weight. Nothing works because I struggle with portion control. I hope/pray this will be the answer. Tomorrow I am going to start, imperfectly if I have too, but I will fill all my containers and go for it! Here's hoping and praying.......

    Hello! My name is James(also go by Jamie), I am 39 years old, married with no children at the moment.

    My reason for joining MFP and many other sites is to help me reach my goals are to live a healthier lifestyle, get down to my goal weight of 180lbs. Stats for now are 5'10" at 255.6lbs. My reasons for this are, I want to be able to play with my children and not from some seated position due to things I control. I want to be able to take my shirt off an not feel ashamed of how I look, and above all I don't want to let health issues become an excuses as to why I can't enjoy life.

    I started T25 a few months back and liked it but after doing my first official marathon I dislocated a few ribs and was in therapy, then was injured by dog and had stitches in my foot, all this put me down for about 6 months. I have just picked up 21 Day Fix and am in a local challenge starting this week, I want to get back into T25, get back on my bicycle, and get back to my passion of speed walking.
    I've set several fitness goals;
    - Apr 27 2013 - 27 mile walk from NW SA to Randolph AFB (This is dedicated to my wife and a long list all those who inspire and motivate me) - ACCOMPLISHED!

    2013 - complete a marathon in 6.5 hours Accomplished

    2015 - Complete an ultra-marathon (50K) www.cowtownmarathon.org/RunningEvents/UltraMarathon.cfm and learn to swim

    2015 – Complete a triathlon http://www.brittonbikes.com/hcsa-events/tall-texan-tri/tall-tx-mainpage.htm

    2016 - Ultra 100K www.tejastrails.com/Bandera.html

    I look to use this group and all others I am a part of to help me reach all my goals...my biggest grip with most is finding that accountability partner to hold me to it and push me past the BS I can come up with as I have lost some motivation to do what I use to do daily.

    Hi everyone! I'm Jess and I am now on Day 3 of the 21 Day Fix. However for me it will be day 3 of pretty much how I know I need to eat for the rest of my life. I love pizza and cheeseburgers and reese's peanut butter cups but a lifetime of eating like that has landed me at the highest weight I've ever been. Myself, along with my fiance' eat way too much. That's what appealed to me about the 21 Day Fix: portion control and cleaner eating to help cut sugar.

    I've done all sorts of things as far as diets go. It's difference this time. I am a huge stress eater and being a graduate student and working full time I am constantly under stress. However, I've recently began to tackle that and it's drastically improved my stress eating/binges. Another new thing is my fiance and I decided to do this together, with no excuses. We threw out all the bad foods and started fresh. We don't live the life we want. Though we are extremely happy together, individually we struggle. I don't want to sit in front of a tv on a Saturday. I want to hike, canoe, etc. Getting some weight off will for sure help that. We also want babies soon so I have to get healthy!

    So I got organized and color coded and got started Monday!

    Thoughts as I go into Day 3: I'm not lethargic, I don't feel like crap, I'm not tired, I have energy, my body and pretty sore from head to toe, and I feel great! We are taking it one day at a time and today is a great day!

    Good luck everyone!!!!

    I'm also on day 3 of the fix and so far so good. I missed one orange container yesterday but otherwise it's going ok. I substituted a yellow yesterday for a treat of an orange container of raisinettes. Just needed a quick chocolate fix and it worked. I was pretty hungry the first day, but seems a bit better today. Good luck and keep us posted on your stats as you go through the next 3 weeks.

    I am in the 2000 cal range and it is a lot of food. I'm no where near accustomed to eating so many veggies and fruit so I've not had the issue with being hungry. I am, of course, craving sugar but I've got to work through those cravings. It's my love of carbs and sugar that got me here :). I'm sending you a friend request!

    Hello Everyone!
    My name is Jenn. I'm 30, mother of 3, and just got done with the first workout of the 21 day fix. I have seen way too much negative about the 21 day fix so I found this group and joined.
    I am in the 1500-1799 range, MFP had me at 1630, so its not all that off. I have had breakfast and lunch, I am not a fan of small meals. I just don't find myself all that hungry through out the day. And wow is it alot of food.
    3 years ago I lost a total of 65lbs. The last year I let 30lb come back. I thought it was medical, but alas, it was just me being lazy I guess.
    I started the fix because I am really good at following a plan that is laid out for me. Yes I can lay out my own plan,but I can also forget it. Last time I lost weight, I ate what I wanted, weighed, measured. That doesn't sound as much fun this time around.
    I got the plan on Saturday and read the book from end to end and then menu planned for the week. It was actually exciting! I can't wait to keep going with this.
    Anyway, thats my story, feel free to add me. I am committing myself for 21 days, and however many after that until I am confident I got the portion control down to be able to do it without needing the containers. This will be a lifestyle change for sure!

    My name is Melissa and just found out about 21 Day Fix today. I was so intrigued that I ordered it tonight. I am starting at about 195 pounds and my hope is to lose about 50 pounds over the next 6 months with it. I will be back as soon as my kit comes in.
  • HI! I am Kristin and I should be receiving my 21 Day Fix shipment this weekend. I am so excited to get a jump start on losing all this baby weight I have been carrying around! I currently am doing T25 for my exercise and am going to stick with that for right now as I like it and I generally hate exercise lol. I am looking forward to using the containers and simplifying thinking about food. I am most concerned about breakfast as that is my hardest time of the day when I am a little hungry but my stomach usually isn't settled enough for anything major.

    I am a longtime Fitness Pal member but just ordered 21 Day Fix and remembered how much support this site was for me a couple of years ago, so I thought I'd see if there was a group for this plan and voile there was! I can't wait to get it and get started! I'll see ya then!
