I didn't buy shakeology so my 21 DF coach dumped me. I'm hoping to find support here. I am about to start round 2, I've lost 4 pounds so far.

    Are you serious? I'm sorry about that. There are plenty of people in this forum that aren't using shakeology or any of the other supplements. Welcome!

    Sorry to hear that. I haven't even been contacted by a coach. I would love to have a 21 day fix friend to offer support to. Friend me if you like.

    I love my coach and she hasn't pressured me to buy any of the supplements, including Shakeology. @jpkreuger, one of our 21 Day Fixers is a great coach, too! I would encourage you to seek out a new coach because a good one will be supportive, offer suggestions for meal plans, how to improve your weight loss experience.

    That said, there are a lot of great people here who are full of ideas and willing to share their successes and struggles.

    That's just really sad :/ I feel I'm lucky that my coach is my neighbor and a friend before I even considered Beachbody. You'll find a lot of support here! Welcome!

    That's what turned me off of Beachbody until someone gave me this exercise set.. The behaviour and "must do shakeology must have a coach" mentality. I'm sorry you had this experience but this group is much different and very supportive. Welcome :-) If it makes you feel a bit better, I don't have a coach or shakeology. Bare bones here :-)

    I found 21df through a Facebook friend....she had me sign up under her and said she does accountability groups and stuff. I got some sample shakeology from her and hated it. She wasn't very pleased that I didn't like it. And I was never invited to any accountability groups. No support

    Some coaches are just in it to be sales people. We're a pretty cool group here so just stick with us ;)

    You know, I think this says a lot about Beachbody and, unfortunately, not a lot that is good. Given that these coaches are representatives of their company name/brand, you would think they would be more careful about training their coaches so that something like this wouldn't happen.

    @SatiaRenee thank you, you just made my day!!! Any "coach" who dumps someone for not buying what THEY think the person should buy is not a coach, they are just a salesperson. That's not how it's supposed to work. Once again I'm annoyed because things like this give us all a bad rep!

    You found the right place, @JungleJ4ne , this group is so supportive and helpful!!!

    Anyone who would like to switch to me as his/her coach, my coach ID is 641043 and I will never pressure you to buy anything! I will have new Facebook challenge groups starting in the next week or so (just waiting for a date confirmation from my coach) and you would be able to participate in those as part of the team. And they are FREE, supportive and fun :)

    I agree .... if you're not getting support, they are just a salesperson, NOT a coach! Join here .... we'll lend support and guidance!

    I just had a similar experience with the coach I was given. Try to push shakeology on me. I tried the free samples and didn't like it. I am not going to spend a fortune on something I will dread taking. Not worth it.

    Yeah you should only do or try things that you can see yourself doing/using for a lifetime.

    My coach (who I don't really use) actually tried to recruit me for her team, but I declined. I just cannot promote a product I am not passionate about, and I haven't even tried shakeology. I'm just fine with my protein powder I buy from bodybuilding.com

    I'm grateful that my coach hasn't tried to push Shakeology on me but at this point I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't bite the very costly bullet and give it a try because I had really hoped to be at a certain weight and/or size by the time I see my family in July and right now I just don't think it's going to happen. Certainly, it's not going to happen doing what I've been doing.
