21 day fix!

Oh my gosh, it's AMAZING! I did it in the fall and lost 6lbs and 13" in one round! The nutrition plan is so innovative and super easy to follow and because you do a different workout every day you don't get bored. PLUS, it's only three weeks for one round and you can do anything for 21 days!

Feel free to add me if you have more questions or just friend me in general!

I like it. The marketing is focused on women. However, it's a good program. If you have a food scale you can skip using the tupperware that comes with the program. I started 21 Day Fix with the tupperware (you have colored coded boxes for carbs, starches, protein, oils etc) but then I found this site and bought a scale and for me weighing everything is more reassuring. I use the tupperware because it's convenient. But I weigh the food, too.

The workouts are awesome. They are similar to circuit training. You use light weights or exercise bands. There is a crazy fit instructor who does the exercises "properly" and has a crew with her, like P90x. One of the crew is less fit and does modified versions of each exercise. The workouts are good. You will quickly get in a grove. I also lift weights three times a week. (Traditional stuff: squats, shoulder press, deadlifts). I am confident I have maintained a calorie deficit. I have lost 3.5 lbs over two weeks. That is not earth shaking but the weight loss isn't the whole story. My chest, arm, leg measurements are all bigger. So, I must be gaining a modest amount of lean mass as I lose the weight.

I respectfully disagree with SconnieCat. This program is like 50 bucks. The dvds are cool. You don't have to look up any exercises. Just follow it. If you do the exercises and If you either follow the 21 Day Fit tupperware meal plan or use MFP you will be in a calorie deficit. Diet is 75 percent of any aesthetically oriented fitness regimen. So, whatever you do good luck.

Wait, there is a multi-level marketing thing from the firm that markets the program with a drink called Shakeology. But, I didn't buy it. No one ever called me or hounded me in any way. No emails or anything. And in fairness all three of the people I know who drink Shakeology love it and think it's fairly priced.

^^^^OMG this!!!; 21 day fix is the best thing to happen to the universe since God!!!

I admit when a friend first introduced me to 21 day fix, I was like, REALLY skeptical. I mean, who would be dumb enough to pay over 100 bucks for a 5 dollar workout video, some instant shake powder, and 2 dollars worth of cheesy colored Tupperware, right?

But I was!

Now, I'm only on day 2 and already I added 10 lbs of muscle, lost 20 lbs of fat, lost 37 inches off my waist, qualified for the next olympics, and passed the Pope's requirements for sainthood! Not only that, but my lost dog came back, my mother got out of prison, my wife left that doctor she ran off with and returned to me, my mother-in-law burst a blood vessel in her brain and dropped dead instantly, my you-know-what grew 3 inches, my lost shot gun has been found, I won the state lottery twice in one day, and so much much more!

I can't wait to see what happens on day 3 tomorrow!

ETA: Oh, most importantly, I am not a Beach Body coach, so I am not compensated for making these clearly unbiased statements.

LMFAO!!! Thank you for this!!!

Because they drank the proverbial Kool Aid and/or don't know any better.

Gosh, why must everything on here be a mockery?

I only know one person (coworker) that has tried this. She says it was very helpful to her in learning portion control. I don't know how strictly she followed the workouts, but she brings her lunch in the containers everyday and has been consistently losing. So, I guess it is a good tool for some. Fodder for mockery for others.

Also, wasn't there a thread about this exact program like two days ago?

There's a new one posted or an old one bumped almost every day. That will probably never change around here.

Because anything that conditions you to think in the short term doesn't work for the long term. things like nutri-system, jenny craig, and 21-day fix don't work because they do the work for you. Once you're on you're own, you haven't learned anything and go back to the old ways of doing things. Weight goes back on. They trap you into needing their program for life. $$$

If you plan to use color coded Tupperware and shakes from someone called Shakeology for the rest of your life and believe that it is simpler than figuring out how to measure and log your food and exercise then go for it!
But if the 21 day program doesn't set you up for the next 22 to 2222 days, what's there not to mock?

I really don't understand this line of reasoning. Sure, it's set up as a "21 day program", but I set time specific training goals for myself pretty frequently. Just because I train for 16 weeks for a marathon doesn't mean I become a couch potato during the 17th week. I actually own the 21 Day Fix, I've never used those silly containers, and I'm not following the prescribed 21 day schedule. I do like the workouts on non-running days.
