    I did it in the fall and love it! Such an innovative program and I recommend it to everyone I know! Biggest tip I can give you is to follow and stick with the nutrition program. Do that and you'll get GREAT results! Feel free to add me! :)

    I just ordered it. I don't expect to lose 15 pounds but I think the workouts look good and I am excited about how simple the nutrition plan is!

    So I am thinking about ordering this I have been doing 4 weeks of the t25 and shakeology not losing what I am wanting and thinking 21 day fix may work better. But I was just wondering do you fill up those containers and that is your food for the day? It doesn't really go into detail.

    Yes. Based on the calories that it says you can have, you get a certain numbers of each color. For instead the red is for your protein and if you're in the higher calorie 2100-2300 you would get 6 red containers a day.

    It is a nutrition based program. If you eat within your calorie intake you'll lose weight.
    The containers organize your menu as they are set by color for food categories, and how many ounces go in them. Like other sound nutrtion programs, it works if you do it!

    I love it... So far! I have it and have been trying to get started a few times now.. Had a sick baby and sick hubby this week so it kinda threw me off track. Going to start again tomorrow!

    I just ordered it, also. I would love to be added to a group, if you're starting one. Mine should be delivered late in the week, but I started Jillian's 30 Day Shred yesterday, and will continue until the 21 day fix comes.

    I am starting the third week. I do not use the containers, rather I set up my calorie and macro goals here according to what the plan outlines, and just log as always. The workouts are very nice and I am getting a lot out of them. I had written the program off when it first came out, but am glad I got it. I also enjoy her teaching style, she is straightforward, pleasant, doesn't talk too much or yell or any of that nonsense.
    The modifier has been in many many workouts over the years and does a great job with modifications, if you need to follow those.

    I took measurements before I started but never got the pictures taken properly, and I regret it. When I finish this week I am going to take them, then start the Extreme version and see what happens.

    I ordered it on Friday so should get it this week. My cousin had great results & raved about it. It sounds very sensible, like WW, in that you can eat what you want as long as you're accountable for it & control your quantities. The exercise routines look great. Until it arrives, I've borrowed a friend's T25 to use for a few days to give that program a shot. I am sooooo bored with my treadmill after this long, snowy winter & looking for an exercise boost!

    I just ordered and am starting March 9. I know it's all about cal deficit but it's fun to try out new ways to look at things. And portion control has always been my issue! I have also heard the workouts are great. If anyone starts a group, please add me!

    I am on day 8 of the program. Definitely takes some planning (we do our meal prep for the week every Sunday). But keeps me focused... Let me know if you need anything!

    I'm on week 2! I'm down 4.6lbs total. I was expecting more, but then again, I have been slacking on my workouts. It's all about accountability.

    The containers are a huge help. I went from eating a half a box of pasta to just this little containers worth of whole wheat. I was hungry at first, but by week 2, I find myself not really craving the junk I craved before.

    I use the Vegan Chocolate Shakeology and I have to say that I LOVE the taste! I mix it with unsweetened almond milk and a "purple container" of frozen cherries. The workouts are great and the instructor is super motivating.

    I dont eat meat, but I eat some fish, sometimes. Before I started this program, my diet was based around carbs. I think the past 2 weeks, I've increased my protein intake more than ever.

    All in all, I'm a fan. However, meal prep is KEY or it becomes easy to say "I'll just have a ____" whatever that may be. Pizza, fries, etc. Prepping has defintely saved me from making poor choices.

    Add me! I'd like to have more friends doing the program.

    Wow thank you so much everyone! Who'd like to start a group? I've never done it but I'm sure it would definitely motivate me to stick to it!

    Hey everyone. There's a group here on MFP for people doing the 21 Day Fix. You can find it here: community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/103806-21-day-fixers

    I am waiting for renovations in my home to be done so I can move furniture out of every other room and have space to exercise again but I figured I can start using the food containers and, when everything in the house is back to normal, I'll be starting the DVDs and do the 3 Day Quick Fix.

    The 21 day fix is a program which gives you containers to portion out your food instead of counting calories and weighing food. It comes with workouts that you do everyday (all 7 days of the week). They are only half hour and each day is different (cardio, upper, lower, abs, yoga, Pilates etc).

    I just ordered the extreme version last night.... I have been doing Turbo fire for two months and just switched to T25 this week. Since Jan 7th with just watching how I eat and working out daily, I have lost over 10lbs... so hoping once I get the 21 Day fix I can kick it up a notch. Since I do such extreme workouts, I hear the regular 21 Day fix might be kind of "bland"... hoping the extreme version are better. Good luck to all who are going to or are currently doing the 21 day fix!! Feel free to add me.... I try to log in daily to MFP!
