    Thanks ddavies919. I was kind of thinking the same.

    So, one problem I am having is feeling bloated all the time. Does anyone else feel this starting this program? I wouldn't think it is from eating since I am under my calorie goals most days (really hard to get to the max). Wondering if it is just part of bulking.

    Jill,

    Uggghh......I struggle with bloat sometimes but have narrowed it down to certain foods I eat like nuts, dairy (which I don't eat anymore) or fruit. Have you noticed the bloat after eating certain foods? I have a cup of Dandelion tea every night before bed or whenever I feel bloated. There's many benefits of it and the main one is helping with bloat and it works! Maybe try that. I sweeten mine with a packet of stevia or agave nectar. See if that helps.

    Well, I have gone from a low carb - High Fat diet to going with the plan. It could be the carbs, I may try going back to the lower carb route which works for me. Definitely trying the tea, thank you for the suggestion!

    Hi ladies! How's everyone doing here? I started round 2 of the 21 Day Fix Extreme yesterday. I have been slowly able to lift a little more with my arm so my goal is to do this round and then get back into Beast! I am missing it terribly! But because of what I was lifting before my surgery, I want to make sure I am ready. I am feeling good and dialing in my nutrition this second round! Hope you ladies are all doing good!

    Hey, everyone, glad I see this post. My 3rd day - build leg today, I really love this program, and I have 10lb. baby weight to lose(my goal is get lean toned body), before I was pregnant, I've finished, insanity1,2,3 LMP, Les Mills Combat, T25, Chalean, Post baby, I did 1 round T25, P90x3, and just finished Max 30 right before start BB. So last 10 lbs. stubben fat to lose, I'm little concerned about nutrition here, from calculation from beast book, I'm on 2100 cal/day, first I eat whatever when I was hungry, at the end of the day, my intake only 1600. second follow beast book, 50/25/25, that will be a lot carbs to eat, won't it make me gain a lot?

    Hi. I am right there with u with 10lbs. I got rid of 5 and then put them back on as we started the house buying process. I am struggling to stick with it right now with all the stress and such. Been thinking of doing body beast. Wondering how the results are. I have a good amount of muscle but need to shed some serious fat right now. Helpppp

    Hi Everyone,
    Glad to see there is a Body Beast group going. I am a Beach Body Junkie and recently discovered body beast. I am going to be done with the 1st week of the bulk phase. It is taking me longer because I have had to skip a few works outs but I'm sticking with it till I finish the program. I really like it.

    You look great!!! Keep it up! :)

    I can relate to what you said. I'm in my 8th week now, but even before I started BB I felt leg muscles, but they were never visible unless I was flexing.

    The other day I went to the market and a woman asked me if I was an athlete because she saw some muscle through my stretchy workout pants. I didn't realize they were visible! Taking photos is so important.

    I told her not at all, then she asked me what workout did I do and she was floored when I said I nothing too crazy or hardcore - mainly just power walk and lifting heavy weights. She thought weights would make her bulky. I hope she decides to give weights a try!

    The program is going really well for me. I've noticed some back muscles showing up. Yay!

    Let us know how it goes for you eringle! I hope everyone else is doing well!

    So, as some of you know, I had pretty extensive surgery in November and have sloooowly been working my way into lifting again. Today I was able to do bicep curls with 12lbs! Woo hoo! Feeling pretty good! I'm happy that I haven't lost too much muscle!

    Happy Flex Friday ladies!ms2hu5q06dj5.jpg

    Hello ladies. I just completed my 2nd day of week 1 Body Beast yesterday. I'm looking forward to day 3 today. Are any of you following the eating plan? What kind of results did you get?

    Good morning! Soooo.....I had decided I wanted to do a round of Chalean Extreme again because I get such good results from it; it's kind of my "summer program." However, yesterday was supposed to be week 3 and I just wasn't feeling like I was getting enough upper body work. Not to mention, I have been training legs 3x per week on my strength days and in CLX, she does total body moves that include legs so it wasn't enough upper. Anyway, long story short..........I'm back to Beast and it feels good!!!!! Yesterday was Chest & Tris!

    How are you Beastettes doing?
